Eliminate Steps in Detailing

**stiffdogg06** · 08-19-2013, 05:35 PM

If you could eliminate any steps in paint correction (not interior work), what would it be? Let's keep it to 1-2 steps.

Mine would be:

- Washing pads after polishing
- Polishing front/rear bumpers

I don't mind claying as I get instant gratifications that the surface is becoming clean.

Cleaning pads while working, for me that is a real hassle.

The roof.

I agree... Bumpers and lower panels (like side skirts). 3" and 4" work gets so tedious.

In addition, adding more product.
Wish there were some type of dispenser built into the DA that will automatically "feed" the pad with product when needed.

There is such a product. Mike Phillips posted pictures of it a few years (?) ago. But, it may have been on a rotary.
