    What products/brands should Autogeek carry in 2016?

    Car Brite is not a professional line, it is a production only line that sells garbage out of the back of trucks. Their "best" wax costs $17 a gallon.

    What products/brands should Autogeek carry in 2016?

    Groan! Can we please stick to professional lines and not production level crap please? I was forced to use car Brite when working at a dealer over a decade ago and it is truly cheap crap compared to 3D, Optimum, and AG house brand.

    I agree with the principle of what you are saying, but be careful with this as well. Often times people can be deceiving on the phone. I've noticed many times that people I assumed were price shoppers picked my most expensive package or coating once I had explained my menu. Never assume people...

    What do you mean? If they have questions, I answer them as needed. I only take information if they want to set up an appointment. I always answer "Visual Pro Detailing, this is Mark, how can I help you?" Good phone skills are essential in this business. A lot of people think a detailing...

    That makes sense. Essence seems to have a really short working time.

    Car Pro Essence Reviewed! 6 Months of Testing by OCDetail

    Topped my personal ride with a non carpro (or AG for that matter) coating and it is working amazing. The gloss from Essence was intensive but adding the secondary coating on top was glaringly shiny. This car is a 2007 with 120k miles.

    Product recommendation for production detailing

    Yes, I prefer Speed. Seems to have a deeper cut and the great wet look HD Poxy provides.

    Product recommendation for production detailing

    Gotcha, I'm paying $40 a gallon for Speed. For me it is worth the $6 difference.

    Product recommendation for production detailing

    No offense to AG, but their products are extremely expensive compared to other competitors. 3D/HD is the best bang for the buck line in the market in my opinion.

    Go to products?

    I will throw in my .02 from a business perspective. I use HD/3D stuff and Optimum primarily because they are inexpensive, do a great job, are very efficient and easy to use, and go a LONG way. There are plenty of products that do a good job, but I look at it from beyond a "what do I like to...

    M105 trick to minimize dusting & maximize work time

    Why not just switch to a product that dusts less but still cuts and finishes instead of making 105 something it's not? HD Cut and Adapt cut almost as well, if finish fantastic, and don't dust.

    Detailing at a dealership

    Been there. Honestly, do the absolute minimum they expect you to do with the cars. They do not care a out autogeek style work only selling. And do this while you are looking for a better job.
