Hi guys,
I work in a high volume detail shop and do dealer work. Well there is only two main guys in the shop and a couple people that are just there when needed. But we are at around 4 cars a day and these are full details. There were a few days when we were up to 8. Well my question is what is the quickest and efficient way to wash a car, my current steps for the wash is to first clean the engine then do the wheels then spray the doorjambs and then debug and de-grease and wash the car. What steps do you all take when washing a car? Next is the interior and I start off by blowing out dirt and garbage from in between the seats and then vacuum the whole car. After that I start on the drivers side and clean the door and then move on to the center counsel, then dash and steering wheel. I would then do the seats and then carpet. I would repeat these steps to the rest of the car.After that I do interior windows. For exterior I really want to find a true one step that can cut and polish for the most part. Putting wax on a car I can do separate because it is quick. But I would clay the entire vehicle. I usually use m101 because of the easy wipe off and the smoothness it provides. But I sometimes find my self leaving trails of the compound maybe I am putting on too much pressure. I would do about two car panels at a time before wiping the compound off. I usually just make 3 heavy pressure passes with a light cutting pad. Then I would throw wax on really fast and do windows. Are there any tools or techniques to speed up an interior and exterior detail as well as the wash. The wash takes me about 30 minutes to one hour. Interior any where from 1 hr to 4 hrs depending on condition. Exterior somewhere between 30 minutes for easy clay and wax to 3.5 hrs for trashed black suvs. Thank you so much. I really need to learn how to increase productivity.
