Detailing process, from head to tow.....?

[Thlian]

I wanna start out with one fabric, that`s pinnacle, I recon they have good products for head-tow detaling.....
Washing, cleansing, polishing and waxing.....But what?
What would the pro end user use, I mean professional car detailers use??

Then we are at an other questions,they don`t buy small bottles.....or?
What bulk products are you most happy with from Pinnacle??

 

[Gary Sword]

I think the best Pinnacle product you can buy in bulk is Liquid Souveran. It's really economical in a 128 oz bottle and it's a great product.

Anybody know of XMT series is also used on the pro market?

A lot of guys here use the XMT line. I use it, but Im not a pro.

:iagree: with Gary and 03gtmustang.

$100 for a gallon is economical?!

$100 for a gallon is economical?!

Considering a price for 16 oz - $30 vs 128 oz - $100 it costs less per oz.
One another hand - you won't need 1 gallon of liquid wax, unless you are a professional detailer that uses a lot of wax.

I would only call myself professional as in I detail on the side for money.

I've done heavy research on products, and try to use only some of the best, but still keeping it cost efficient. With that said, I use Pinnacle Souveran Paste, liquid souveran, leather conditioner and Poli-clay. I only offer these as an upgraded option (except liquid souveran whcih I use on white or light colored vehicles when the customer pays for a wax)

Currently the price of Liquid Souveran is $115.00 for a 128 oz bottle or 90 cents per ounce. If you ever used the product you would know that at little goes a long way. I can do my wife's Mercedes with about an once of product. So it costs me about 90 cents to do the car. If you had a very large SUV it would take more but still be under $2.00 per SUV.

I think if I can wax my car for 90 cents it is very economical. Nimble, do think 90 cents for wax on your car is expensive?

 

[Nimble]

Yep, 90 cents per car is, when I can get cg's butter wet wax, a liquid wax that's just as good for $29.99, optimum car wax gallon, $39.99, need I go on? Not all of us drive Lambo's, price does matter. The day I pay $100+ for a gallon of wax.......well, you get the idea.

What's good is a matter of opinion. I have yet to try either one of those products because I have never seen a detail done with those products that I thought looked outstanding. I would gladly pay a lot more then 90 cents a detail for something that looks great. You usually get what you pay for. I would have to see some details with those products that really looked good before I would try them at any price.

Nimble, if your point is that there are cheaper products on the market then Liquid Souveran I would definitely agree with you. I have a white car and a white van. I have yet to find a product that I think looks better then Liquid Souveran on white paint at any price.
