Their is no such thing as doing a 20 minute "light" polish, again, prove us wrong post a video, after all it will only take you "20 minutes".

You can barely apply an lsp to an entire mid size sedan in 20 minutes and assure total coverage.

What you are saying you can do in 20 minutes is not only absurd, it's impossible unless you sir, are a hack.

I have heard of a 20 minute hack job, maybe that's what you're proposing.

I am mostly word of mouth so the clientele who calls me calls me for what I offer.

I don't think that you have a very good imagination - I was in sales for 22 years.

Hey potential customer, this is what I say you need, it costs a lot of money and I'm worth it, I'm a pro, trust me I know what I'm talking about, it's what you need. But, if you don't like it you can go down the road to joe the hack detailer and he'll be happy to take care of you.

He seemed to have plenty of time on his hands today.

The boys at Meguiar's must be thrilled and relived....

Apparently you didn't either. Seriously What is this? 8 year old "go ask mom" time? I posted an article that HE wrote. If thats not proof enough, then that is your problem.

I suggested to the poster who has polishing as an extra to include polishing no matter the package except to a wash. No polishing at all on a "clean" paint that has already been decontaminated vs a quick once over will provide better results. Your choice of polish and something like an orange pad will greatly improve the gloss vs unpolished paint. So if that suggestion to you is a hack job, but no polishing is OK, than I am not sure what to say to you.

But you said your pricing included polishing.

I'm done in here before the mods have to come in and slap hands. Td can keep arguing if it makes him feel more like professional with correct super awesome 20 min ninja polishing techniques.

I don't follow. Most cars are getting full paint corrections that I work on. So unless I get lucky and see a car with very little imperfection, my details are multi days. Those cars that are near perfect, I do a 2 step polishing job on them. Taking my time on the deep polishing step to get as much gloss as I can out of it. The final polish is somewhat faster but I still take my time.

What I suggested to the poster is that if nothing else, do a quick once over to further increase the gloss. I decided to write 20 minutes. Can you go over a car in 20 minutes once the paint is clean to up the gloss? Yes you can. Will you see the benefit on cars that are not polished? Most definitely. Does this answer your question?

Most definitely.How can you possibly polish an unpolished car in 20 minutes? Maybe you should recant your 20 minutes and make it an hour or two. Does this answer your question?
