Thanks Mike for writing this all up. Got the 3401 as you know and the Hybrid pads and smaller backing plate is knocking it out of the park for me. I decided that I didn't really need the Rupes 75 for smaller areas, due to the small pad on the 3401, however did go with the PE-08 model? and...

Here's an idea AMMO Skin. Doesn't get a lot of play on this forum but its a top notch sealant that is extremely easy to apply and take off. Probably could do a whole car in less than 15 min using a GG 3" applicator and then wipe off. Longevity is pretty decent, but I have found the application...

I have some experience dealing with dealers. Any dealer less than a privately owned very high end likely doesn't even know what a paint correction is. Or they do, but think what their old school detailer does is great. LOL I have talked with GM's of Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Aston Martin...

For the breakdown this is figured out very well. When doing any of the paintwork you can just say $hourly price and then tell them an estimate of how long it will take. Then for an up-charge say pre-wash is 1/2 hour, windows, and basic interior wipe-down and vacuum is 1/2, and protecting...

Jim, In my experience it all depends on the customer. Customers who typically want a Paint Correction already pretty much know what they want, just need direction to how to get their car to that point. Most people don't even really notice the swirls or light scratches, if a car shines then...

These posts were correct, just clean it and seal it for the winter. Running a All In One might work and eliminate some of the swirls for you and seal it in the process. Then not letting all the salt and road grime sit on it as much as possible will help you. Then spring time comes tackle the...

Thanks mike working with frank to get this done as we speak. Yes trust is the factor but when he told me of his work I moved forward with the process. Thanks again!!!

Mineral spirits test spot first

I have been searching for a panel wipe type product to thoroughly cleans the surface before Coating applications. One major issue I have is that almost always I am doing a Black Car. Never done a yellow, grey, maroon, etc.... On Black I keep having an issue with micro marring. Paint is...

Swanic is correct they do all work pretty well with any of the LSP's, and sometimes I use whatever is laying around when needed and its fine. As long as it doesn't streak then should make no difference.

Like I said no worries, life is too short. Its all about helping others for me. I jumped back too which I shouldn't have either, but thats being a male I guess. We are all brothers in this thread and been through some of the same things. Lets get this guy helped and polish on......

IMHO--- I feel that its best to use that product that is the same manufacturers as the sealant. Typically the makers will use chemicals that will work together, rather than repel each other. That is not proven science but some advertise that. Example I know for sure and the AMMO product line...

NO problem, its getting views and people looking. I just wanted to help a friend. Seems like we are all vets anyway. To @expdetailing there are many ways to get what you want to get across if someone either doesn't explain or sounds fishy or doesn't know what they are talking about. My only...

I know two people who have had their cars close to 2 years and have never washed it themselves. BUT.... only taken through a car wash 2-3 times the whole time. They don't care at all, it gets them from A to B and when they trade it they run through a Auto Bell and sell it. Thats how a lot of...

Yes war does that!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for serving, AFG 10-12 for me. Still in the business today but other routes :) . I thought about this for a business also, and would likely do well financially, but honestly the thought of a 20 degree morning having to wash a Toyota Camry and do a basic...

Two 60 hour wheels off , emblems off, Maserati details, both came out pristine with extremely few RIDs left over after the PC. First was coated with Modesta after the PC and the second with 22ple. From this: To this:

Love all the back and forth. Was typing replies with a iPad so was slightly broken or auto corrected. Not sure if you thought the 800 was high or low. A full paint correction for me will take minimum 20 hrs on the paint. Thats not counting if the customer wants wheel wells detailed, coatings...

I agree wholeheartedly with your post! And that does happen with clients so it's the detailer who clearly should go over the whole car with the client and tell them what to expect in the end. If you don't do that your doing yourself an injustice. HOWEVER----------- If you read the initial post...

Really? No one on here is interested?

Hi guys, I consistently run into higher end cars who's owners live all over the states. I currently have a person in Palm Beach Gardens, FL who would like to have some quotes on Paint Correction. They are a MBWorld Forum member who saw my E63 AMG and would like to have something close to it...
