This pickup came in with heavy brush scratches, the worst we've seen. After several test spots we ended up wet sanding and correcting with the Optimum Hyper line. We coated with Opti-Coat Pro+

 
Excellent work.
How is the Optimum line compound/polish with removing 1500 grit or 2000 grit?
Is it as easy to use like Menzerna or Meguiars 105/205 combo?

My personal opinion Hyper Compound has a hard time removing 1500 grit sanding scratches and leaves a really nasty haze. I love Hyper Polish but will definitely be using M100 on vehicles without black plastic trim. The lack of need to tape is the main reason why I use the hyper line.
 
Great video my man. That F150 looks better than it did when it was new.
 
Very professional in all aspects,from tools to knowledge and a very nice shop.
 
Awesome job and great video content.
How hard is it to keep the shop up? Do you guys have to do alot of cars or feel rushed to stay open?

My shop is too small for how busy I am. It's not unusual that we have vehicles outside being worked on. I have 3 full time employees and I'm booked out a week. This year I've averaged a coating a week and the last 2 weeks I've done 2 coatings a week. It hardly even slowed down this winter with enough work for 2 nearly full time employees. This summer I'll start offering mobile service again to test other markets and add value for my maintenance customers. My biggest advantage is being in a rural area with no local competition, also my shop is on the busiest 4-way stop in town. Facebook ads and word of mouth generate about 40% of my business each, starting out it was 90% location. Hoping to open a second location next year and have 10 shops by 2020
