Time saving tip
For those who are searching for ways to cut down on their detail time.I have started taking a stop watch with me. Keeps me conscious of my time has cut my time on full details by about 45 minutes and works wonders wih employees. Set it for exterior and interior. Hopes this helps somebody.

You cut off 45 minutes by using a stop watch?

I use a stop watch when I'm polishing, this helps me see how long I've worked the polish.
shineFXdetail, do you mean you give your self/employees a xx amount of time to complete a task? If that is the case then yes I understand, I guess if you look at it the other way as well is that you use a stop watch to see how much time you spend in one area...I'm assuming that's what you mean.

I use to have the wife come out and scream if I took over an hour, but somehow I kept taking longer and longer after she started screaming.

he mean that by being time-conscious, he doesnt spend/waste time in certain areas, this takes off from his original, un monitored time.

Always trying to shave seconds off my details but keep the quality. Time is money. $5 minutes off my original time unmonitored.As a full time pro i cant spend 6 hours on a car wish i could though. I have to say enough is enough some how.

You are a woman right?
LOL!
I look at my watch at the start and the end of every detail. I've actually slowed myself some now. I want to enjoy myself while I can. This summer is going to be mad!
