I have been detailing for about 5 years now. I have a good amount of products and things that I always need to have. Most of my friends have suvs and crossovers. I have questions on a couple of products.

1. Is the big daytona wheel brush good for "bigger" rims
2. is the nanoskin pad or mitt piece better than clay?
3. for details that require a bit more work, how do you be efficient, I did a jeep wrangler in about 4 hours, how do you stay efficient in your work time ?

I love the Daytona speed brush but also like the wheel woolies for big wheels.

The pads and the mitts speed up the claying process greatly.

Well I try not to speed and rush but use my time wisely but 4 hours doesn't seem bad. What did you do?

Get the standard Daytona wheel brush. I really like my Daytona, but I got a JUNIOR wheel brush in a kit and will be purchasing a standard size brush shortly.

I only use the bigger Daytona on wheels. The small one is reserved for engine bays. I'm really replying because I'm interested in the answers to your questions.

The wash mitt is the best product I have bought in a long time. It payed for it self after 4 uses.
For staying focus will working two things doing the right and $$$.

the jeep I did, I did everything in 4 hours, no engine bay. I was stressed as I was running around every where and working hard. Ill try the nanoskin pad, maybe get the bigger daytona

Wow, really? It doesn't seem that long. Time flies.


3. for details that require a bit more work, how do you be efficient, I did a jeep wrangler in about 4 hours, how do you stay efficient in your work time ?

I think maybe you need to be telling US how to stay efficient, not many on this forum can do a full detail on a Jeep in only 4 hours. C'mon Bill, tell us your secrets that you've learned over the last 5 years.

I usually try to have everything out when the car shows up since my supplies are in my garage. I try to work as hard as I can for the period of time and just do my best
