This is what happened to me in the beginning. Provide the work that you are being paid for and maybe an quick cheap extra thing.

Pureshine I meant on quantimo's comment. When is it overboard for you? Just wondering...

Well thats way over board! I mean if someone wanted a basic interior cleaning I would do some spot removal for free to make the new customer happy. Its little things that make customers happy and go a long way. Remember word of mouth is everything in our business and if you do a couple little things extra customers appreciate it a lot. By all means I do not mean give away a $400 job for $150.

I'm not familiar with the waxes you have, the the WG dgps 3.0 gives a warm glow like a carnauba but can last (in my experience). I would go with that if I were you.

This detail was for a dealer. The car was already sold he just wanted to see what results i could do. The customer paying for the detail. (dealer) would only see the car a few hours at most before giving it to the new owner. That's why i said I'd rather best look vs durability. It has serious water spots all over and over all slightly dirty.
I went with megs UP on a white pad them moved up to an orange pad. I ended up having to use m205 on an orange pad. And finishing with megs ultimate carnuba wax. I also clayed the car to. It turned out extremely well. The dealership owner was gone for the day when i returned it.
But everyone there loved it. Everyone was completely amazed at how good it looked.
They made their "detailer" come look at it. And had a bit of fun at his expense.
And to top that off i got 2 new personal customers one of which is a car collector and compets in car shows.
So not only did i get new customers but one of which will surely be a good contact to more potential customers.

Thanks all
