    Re: Question about process of work

    My plan of attack for this would probably be
    rims-meguiars non acid wheel cleaner and various brushes
    wash-foam gun and gold class-still dialing in dilution ratio
    leaf blower and towel dry
    clay-
    v7 by chemical guys
    collinite 476
    optibond gel on trim and tires

    Thank you, I know 75 is slightly slow, I would have charged about 100-115 for that amount of work, but at least I will make some money and still have some work to do.

    Must be nice weather by you bill. It's below 20 in NY and snow forecast tomorrow.

    I'd ditch clay and get a nano skin and just have your stuff ready that you need so you're not running back and forth looking for the next bottle.

    Re: Question about process of work

    On my less expensive details, I like to wash, nanoskin on the da with nanoshock lube and sealant, clean the wheels and tires with an apc, and dress them. That's it for the exterior.

    A vacuum, wipedown, and windows on the interior, done. I used to give away my services and products, but have learned some techniques like above to stay profitable.

    The fine nanoskin, and nanoshock have been the best purchase(next to my tornador). They make quick work of simple jobs, and leaves a very slick, shiny sealant behind. It also lasts for 3-4 months easy.

    I only do this process on lighter vehicles, and the customer always knows up front exactly what they are getting. This is my go to for people whom don't want to spend $200 for an AIO job.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Personally, I'd just take out what is needed for the job.

    Re: Question about process of work

    Oh, got ya. I guess I would put some of it away? Just leave out buckets already filled, but back the shampoo , clay , lube, leave out with MF and drying materials. Once the steps are done, put it away and break out LSP materials unless you are correcting.
