No doubt it would greatly benefit from clay and good polishes before the AIO, but which line? Poorboys seems to be the most favored. How does it compare to the XMT and DP lines? Still plan on a fine carnauba as topper. Any thoughts on the pads packages: Lake Country (also favored) or Edge 2k?

Here-Here! Word of mouth is your best marketing device. As long as you are thorough and personally engaging you have a good chance. Don't fall into the trap of denigrating others' work; emphasize instead the steps and details you include without stating that they probably do not. Even as a...

Bill, definitely clay after shampoo; she hasn't been polished in four years. Plan to top off with carnauba paste, it's the polish steps I most need. Sound right? Thanks.

For those who don't often get a chance to seriously work on our vehicles, what do you pros and educated experienced enthusiasts recommend as a regular treatment. If it can be done only three times a year, which products are best? Am leaning towards the Klasse AIO w/wo SG, but am considering XMT...

Well, it is fairly decent. I was hoping to find a good shop, but gave up in exasperation. No one wanted to polish the few small scratches, and past bad experiences hurt the finish; most professionals I interviewed admitted that they knock off six to a dozen cars a day, "full treatment", whatever...

Thanks, abrcrombe. You guessed it. Living in the city I must travel two hours just to get to a friend's place to detail. Two or three times per year is all I can reasonably hope for. Would love to spend my monthly parking garage fees on products. That said, I will be ordering a PC kit by week's...

What about using on a car that hasn't been polished since repaintint four years ago? Which to start with or save the regular clay for undercarriage and rough spots?
