Possible career change

An hour for an interior is reasonable especially for daily drivers. Tornado black is pretty awesome but you'll need a good size air compressor to run it. It works great on most everything from interior to wheels. I just don't think your going to save all that much time cleaning interiors.

If 4 hours is your average on small cars then you're spending 3 hours on exterior. Try an AIO like Meg's D156 to polish and protect might help save some time.

Eliminate the polish step all together is the only way to cut your time in half. Wash dry hit with a spray wax clean interior move on.

Get a buddy to help you out for the interior job and you can handle the exterior.

I'm not sure where you're going with this? Are you talking about using OPC as a wheel cleaner too? If so you will go broke fast. OPC is nice but if you're running volume then you need volume chemicals. Don't waste your time & money with fancy wheel cleaners, go straight to a safe acid based wheel cleaner such as Duragloss All Wheel Cleaner. If you buy that in bulk such as 5, 30, or 55 gallon containers you will save a lot of money. An acid based wheel cleaner is not ideal for daily use but if you're doing the car once it doesn't really matter. There are other alternatives such as high pH wheel cleaners but acid is fast. Just don't forget to neutralize the surface.

As far as the steamers go, What are peoples thoughts on how much wear and tear it actually saves on your body?

What exactly does "running it" mean..?..I hope you guys have a business plan and an attorney before you start worrying about products.

Well we aren't going to just be jumping in head first without a clue, the owners have been self employed for quite some time and are very succesful. Its still a ways off for me to do this, we are still trying to figure out a fair way to do this for all 3 of us. Too many details to get into here.
As far as products go, even if I do this full time thing or not, I will still be detailing cars cause I love it. So any product that I get would eventually be used. I'm just not jumping into 55 gallon drums of duragloss yet.
