If time is an issue, rinseless washes like ONR is the answer - maybe not the first time, but once you get used to it you can wash your car way faster. Not only do you save time, you don't have to...
For Opti Coat, the minimum temperature is 50. So I'd get a couple of heaters to get your garage closer to 60. You'll have an easier time correcting the paint as well. Polishes also need warmer temps...
But you can polish it right away. In fact if you want to protect it, you can do so after a week. 90% of the curing is done in the first week. I have sealed one of our cars door that was repainted I...
Treat it as the rest of your car. Due to the body shop you may need to put some effort to "correct". How does the repaint looking? When was it painted?
Just remember how important prep is and if you have the time to correct as close to perfection as possible, the finish will already look amazing. In 2016 we are very lucky to have the products that...
I still feel the same way - a polishing step of any kind can only enhance the appearance and should be part of a detail. If that is so terrible, so be it.
The profession is what it is. Do you think that most professional detailers are providing the type of work you see posted on this forum? Because in my experience I...
I haven't used 205 in a very long time (I do have a bottle of it though) but I do see a difference when I polish out a brand new car. I see more clarity and gloss. The customers also see it, but who...
The result of that additional 20 minutes sure can make a big difference. But as I asked you before, skipping polishing all together is ok with you? Can you please explain that one to me?
It is irrelevant what I did before I switched to detailing, and do you really think I'll loose sleep because you may not believe that I was in sales for 22 years? So anyone who is no longer in sales...
What have a denied? From the first post, I suggested to educate the customer why polishing is important, have packages that include polishing, and or do a quickly at least and throw it in for free....
Why would I need to post a video for you? A quick polishing step can be done with any of those polishers to get some gloss back into a finish that has not been polished. I do not understand what is...
You have some good questions - if the car received a pro coating, unless the car gets sold, the owner would most likely take it back to the installer. If the car gets sold, well, you may never know,...
I can definitely do it if I had to. I did suggest 30 or 40 minutes later on but my choosing of "20 minutes" came from reading the persons post and didn't want to say take a couple of hours even...
Knowledge is king - plus my customers are investing a lot of money in their cars, so you want to make sure that they understand what keeps the car swirl free and what creates imperfections. Rinse...
I don't follow. Most cars are getting full paint corrections that I work on. So unless I get lucky and see a car with very little imperfection, my details are multi days. Those cars that are near...
I suggested to the poster who has polishing as an extra to include polishing no matter the package except to a wash. No polishing at all on a "clean" paint that has already been decontaminated vs a...
