Is this it? http://www.autogeek.net/pinsafscrub.html

Divide and conquer! I like it, I do something similar but need to speed up the process. Thanks for your suggestions.

Nice, I tried the d156 while wet and it worked great. Dried fast and crystal clear. I'm going to have to get the incredimitt, I've been using a microfiber mitt, but willing to try anything that speeds me up. Yes, I use a microfiber bug sponge, spray tarminator a few minutes before I get started...

Same here, if those customers want a cheap car wash than the "other guys" can have them. I'm looking for quality clients who appreciate the quality of work that I do, and are willing to pay for it.

I totally agree, if I can't meet in person first, which I always try to do, I definitely explain my process and service that I provide in full detail. The client may not have any idea what I'm talking about, but at least they know what they're paying for.

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I totally agree, I know what my time and effort is worth, I definitely don't want to be the "go to guy" for bargain shoppers.

So I get a call from a potential client today asking about pricing and services, I find out that she's looking for a complete compound/polish/wax detail...I had a feeling that based on her knowledge of the terminology that she'd been shopping around. I tried to set up an appointment so I could...

Thank you for the great tips! I've got the bucket caddy, but haven't been using it like you suggested. I'll def give that and the better quality mitt a try, those are both areas that I didn't realize I was wasting time with. So how do you use the d156? When the car is still wet?

I find myself obsessing over cleaning every nook and cranny but this package is intended to be a spray and wipe. Does anyone have any tips that they do to streamline their process?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to speed up my process for detailing/cleaning cars. I'm pretty new to the business and do a great job but feel that I take too long in the process. Here are the steps I take for what I call a stage 1 detail (my basic package) Detail Rims/Wheel Wells Hand Wash (2bm)...

Thanks for the info, I'm sure as I fine tune my skills it will take less time. I'll try the IPA after the compound step next time.

I was able to do both headlights in about an hour. 220 grit seems kinda rough, but I haven't had too much experience to base it off of. I just did and 800, then 2000 grit and then let the DA do the rest of the work.

Appreciate the advise! It's on it's way from ag. I grabbed Wolfgang plastik sealant. Ever used it/have any thoughts on it?

Correct. Wet sanded.

Thanks for the advise, I'll have to try that next time!
