3.5 and yes I came up with that before I saw dugdug's post.

Thanks vegas. Actually, my first time with the polisher was probably no more than 20-30 minutes applying some polish. Never thought my first gig would be a full blown correction on a black car of all things. I'm just glad I got it out of the way. Some people actually told me studying doesn't...

Thanks!

Thank you! Yeah, and the guy from post #3 seems to think what I got was low. :wow:

Just keep studying, and believe in yourself. I must have spent at least 80 hours studying and watching videos before this. But talk about being thrown into the fire right off the bat. A normal quick polish with an AIO on a light colored car will seem easy now.

Ask other people what they got on their first job. I do plan on charging more as I go along. Sheesh. Experience was my main concern at this point. Plus, I made more today than I do working 30 hours at my grocery store job. In time, not worried.

All I had at the start of the detail was my cell camera, so they might not be the best. (only the first 2 pics were with cell) The car I did was a 2006 black Infiniti. It turns out that the car was severely neglected, and in need of a paint correction. Oxidation, contaminates, major swirls, bird...

Thanks, I'm off to the job. I'll take some pics and post them later today.

After a 30 second search: "If you prefer, top Poorboys PWS with a carnauba wax. There’s no need to let the sealant cure before applying wax on top of it." From: Poorboys World Polish with Sealant, Poorboys PWS, paint sealant ocw has carnauba in it. But is ocw considered more of a sealant?

So I guess I should not use ocw then. I wasn't aware pws needed cure time. Live and learn. Perhaps I can go back the day after and ocw it. I want him to have as much protection as possible.

Hmmm, I hope not having a generator/power washer isn't too much of a drawback for me. My $$$ are extremely limited right now, and it may be some time before I can afford even a small flatbed trailor.

I don't feel so bad now, I'm getting $100.

Tomorrow morning will be my first paid job, and I am really looking forward to it. My body has finally healed enough to where I think I can do it. I'm going to be washing, claying, poorboy's polish and sealant by machine, then topping off with ocw. As well, I will be doing the interior...

I live in Georgia. It's only "cold" here 1 month out of the year. Not worried about that. To be honest, I don't know what sweating and ghosting is. All I know is what looks good to me.

Optimum Car Wax is a spray wax made with real carnauba and synthetic paint sealants for protection & shine! high-grade carnauba wax and silicone Get some! But use very sparingly.

As a follow up, I went out to my car this morning and looked at the roof. Normally after a wash and wax, the roof always attracts dust and water spots after a rainstorm. This time after using ocw, the roof was perfectly clean and shiny as all get out. They should rename ocw to Magic in a...

Thanks for that. It looks like that may be just what I am looking for.

Yet people still swear by flat pads. Go figure.

WOW is all I can say. 16 oz was used each time? That's a whole bottle!!!!! I just used 1 oz. Ummm, yeah, I hope if you use it again, you like drizzle it. Otherwise, stay with walmart spray waxes.
