[ryandamartini]

Well Im sure most of you have thought I have died off or something! Nope! I need your help !

I am doing college mobile detailing. I have done surveys and research, and LOTS of people are interested in this! So I am going to do it!

I got this AWESOME battery powered Dewalt vacuum that is so spiffy. I know I need a rinseless wash, but am not sure on which one.

So heres what I need for you all fine folsk to help me out with:

I need favorites of yours that have an ease of application, list sun or shade prefered.

Spray Wax
Dressing
Window Cleaner
Paste/Liquid Wax
Bug/Tar
Wheel Cleaner on the go? Im thinking dp gel and rinsing it off with waterless wash.

Any other tips / tricks appreciated. I need package ideas, so post up! Im ready to try and start this!

You are going to have to cut your prices on this one - college kids are poor!
I suppose the ones that have cars nice enough to be detailed are going to have some cash, however. I always had a beater in school.

Surf City glass cleaner is the only one I've not had streak in the sun, so that's my choice on that one.

I've also applied S100 in the sun before and it worked well. They tell you not to, but I didnt' have a choice and there were no problems. Plus, at $15 a jar, you can't go wrong with keeping your prices down and getting a great result!

i've used liquid souveran in the sun with great results... as well as DP final gloss.

tire dressings don't matter in the sun or not... whatever you want

Window cleaners are a different beast!

XMT 180 works great in the sun, not really expensive. Liquid souveran as well

PB bug squash

would not use gel in direct sun. I wipe off alot of wheels with a QD'r

Spray Wax - Duragloss Aquawax/ Pinnacle Spray Souveran

Interior cleaner - DP total interior cleaner

Interior Dressing - Poorboy's Natural look for low gloss, DP Total interior protectant for higher gloss/matte
