Ok some of you guys were right. This guy is the worst detailer I've ever seen in my life. He started out actually doing a decent job, trying to show off. Now he's just awful. Puts on spray wax as he clays new cars, then uses the spray wax again, then puts on wax over that? But when he waxes a...

What about machine wet sanding the bad scratches finishing up with 5000 grit, then just running Wolfgangs Uber compound over the entire car with the Flex? I watched a video with Mike Phillips using WG Uber compound with a Flex on a black Mercedes and he said it looked like it was just waxed when...

I know, we get paid to wash/clay all the new cars and some of them are trashed with 15 miles on them. But for the most part these cars aren't in bad shape. The worst ones are the ones that were "Detailed" at the auctions. That is hacking it. I swear they spray tire shine EVERYWHERE on the...

That was very helpful, thank you. Glad to hear someone knows there's a place for this kind of work and it's not hacking it. We do our best with the time we have. I know we aren't turning show quality work, but I think we do make a dramatic improvement on most of the cars we touch.

Most of these cars aren't that bad off, at all. Usually less than 30k miles. Maybe that's why he's able to get it done so fast? Not trying to insult anyone on here or what you do, I know you guys are used to taking this to another level.

What's another term for removing most defects and making the paint look basically new?

You're exactly right, I'll give Meguiars D151 a try. Right now I'm teamed up with a guy that has been doing this for 15 years. He's going to train me on buffing. Just thought it might be easier/nearly as quick to do it with a DA. Guess I'll start researching rotary techniques. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you, we do use nanoskin on a PC to clay. Do you think I would get better results if I just hit the heavy scratches with a rotary, then use the Flex with wolfgang uber compound? From what I read, it sounds like it would finish out well enough for this type of work. They are pretty picky for...

There's no need to call it a hack shop, we just do a different type of work. I've been making almost 2k a week every week doing it, so I have no intention in trying to get out just so I can have a chip on my shoulder like you. Thank you for not helping at all.

Hello, I've been on the forums here for a while researching. The last year and a half I've been doing production work at a low end dealership and recently took a job at a high end dealership. They want every car clayed, touched up, wet sanded if there are deep scratches, buffed and waxed...
