Re: Never Waxing an SUV Roof again
I recently did the roof of my Honda Pilot (clay, compound, polish, seal, wax and spray wax). Whew, what a pain since nobody sees the roof. Then I thought two things.
1) It is called "detailing" which of course requires attention to detail.
2) If I'm driving under an overpass and people are able to look over and see the roofs of cars, mine will stand out for sure. Again this shows attention to detail.
Always keep the shine in your life.

Re: Never Waxing an SUV Roof again
hmm this actually sounds like a solid idea i may have to consider this although i don't really have a problem with the bumpers but the roof is always a pia with either standing on the tires or getting a step ladder to stand on and continuously moving it around. Guess i better take advantage of the sale while it lasts

Re: Never Waxing an SUV Roof again
the Little Giant ladder company makes a tremendous ladder for this type of work. it is called their safety step ladder. makes doing roofs a lot easier. has large rectangular rubber steps, is a gradient step, has wheels to move it and a handle bar at the top for safety. after numerous falls and near falls and a knee replacement i would not be detailing now without them i have 4 different sizes now and give the small ones for gifts to friends.

I plan on doing the same thing. I scored an old syringe through a trade with another member on this site. There's only about 4cc left but I think that will be enough to do my roof, bumpers , and lower panels on my grand Cherokee ... And hopefully with enough left over to do my wheels.

Re: Never Waxing an SUV Roof again
Kind of lazy if you ask me.
How would you go about telling the customer the roof will be coated only and not waxed and at what cost?

I can just imagine the fine print on the business card...
"We don't do roofs... or bumpers!"

Oh runrun...you're starting to worry me a little...you are reminding me of BillD when he was under his Audi polishing the exhaust (this was his DD BTW)...I'm not talking about the tip or some part you could see...I'm talking about the whole exhaust system.
I'm half expecting you to tell us you were thinking about doing the same thing, just in case you're doing some Dukes of Hazzard maneuver the people you fly over will see your attention to detail to the underside of your car...
