    Detailing vs Paint Correction explained

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2km7Q7IvCk]The Difference between a Car detail & a Car Wash - auto detailing tips - YouTube[/video]
    Hope someone (Professional) can make a video
    that can be SHARED WITH CUSTOMERS to explain (show) how each is different as well as cost are different
    I try to explain that AUTO DETAILING IS: a thorough cleaning of vehicle - depending on service (menu/options) ex: interior, exterior or engine bay.
    PAINT CORRECTION: is THE REDUCTION OR REMOVAL OF paint defects,VIA MACHINE, marring, etching, scratches, swirls so on.
    EXCEPTION a AIO (all in one) product applied by machine a true one step (Buff) clean polish & protect
    How a Dual Action/Random Orbital/Forced Rotation is much safer and just as effective as a Direct Drive Circular/Rotary
    Most people or places in my area (Town) are what you call car cleaners and most shops are using subpur products and equipment using filler polishes and doing correction (Hack work) by correcting a car in less than three hours some use same pad for compound and polish and charge rates less than standard rates ($35.00+ per hour) some will not even rewash after so called correction.
    Some sell rotary as only true way to correct paint
    Hope someone can show steps, explain and give general guide lines to help customers undestand,Tools,products and services I Even believe Renny Doyle book explains carpet cleaning (General) is separate from spot & stain carpet cleaning which is a higher cost service

    That video was rather painful to watch. His expertise is lost on me because the video is so bad. Not just the low resolution (which is forgivable given the year it was made) but the shaky camera, the poor sound, the somewhat rambling presentation, and even the tools being laid on the car. I wouldn't want someone to detail my car who doesn't care about the quality of his own presentation.

    I stated with exception of an AIO, I put the AIO in the DETAILING CATEGORY as in a sense that it's not major correction and similar to waxing, as to where correction would require several products (steps) or more to CORRECT ISSUES.
    So ONLY time I would use polishing machine for BASIC detailing is for AIO or WAXING both are less time consuming over tradition PAINT CORRECTIONS (sorry for any misunderstandings)

    Gotcha. He may no longer be in the detailing business and therefore, no need to update. Did anyone post a comment asking for an update or his thoughts about the new times? Who knows maybe he will respond.
