I made a detail video

Thank you very much everyone, another one will be in the short future. I'll keep you all posted.
 
Great video!! Really nice to see Prima being used as a spray sealant on top of that gorgeous finish and also their glass cleaner. :xyxthumbs:

So I have to ask, how exactly does your loaner car program work, from a business standpoint? I would imagine there are some fairly extensive insurance implications if nothing else...

And how do your customers like pulling up in a Diablo and leaving in an xB? :laughing:
 
In what way would a service loaning a car be different than you loaning your car to a friend? As long as you both have insurance and a valid license, I don't know why the owner would need anything more. I'm curious about the answer too though because I've loaned one of my cars out to my customers for the day as well.

We had a pretty extensive loaner bailment made up to protect us, and to make sure that the customer's insurance is in place. We also have a supplementary insurance through our insurance company. You would actually be pretty surprised how many people come to pick up their exotic car and tell me. "I kinda like that little Scion" Pretty funny, but true.

If it's a friend you might be ok, but you lend your personal car to someone you don't know and something happens, it's hard to make them "legally pay" for the damage. On our bailments we have a damage check sheet that they sign upon departure and arrival.
 
Oh ok that's good to know. Never hurts to protect yourself! Thanks for the clarification. :xyxthumbs::xyxthumbs:

I guess the way I've avoided a large bailment is to just use an inexpensive car, lol. My loaner car has been this 1988 Toyota MR2, gets great gas mileage, it's sporty, nearly bulletproof, and insurance is cheap.

That's not a bad looking MR2 actually. The problem is if there is an accident, and some party is not covered due to some insurance conflict it's not worth it. Imagine if someone stuffs your MR2 into a Maybach, and everyone is injured. It's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your insurance.
 
Thanks! Yeah it only had 68,000 miles on it before the previous owner totalled it, and it became a salvage title thanks to worn out tires and a bad master brake cylinder.

re: insurance conflict
I thought that's what the uninsured motorist coverage is for...of course, maybe the fact I'm in California has something to do with the different coverages. I basically just have the car covered for liability and uninsured and otherwise nothing for collision. The car is my other daily driver and not a full time loaner like what you've got. Right now my MINI is broken so it's a loaner car for me, lol.

Great video! I have watched it a few times....I found it cheeky yet informative. One question though...can you expound on the use of cloth diapers? I love the idea that they dont produce static but I thought using them was an old school trick that has since been debunked due to micro-marring that can occur. Thanks!

Baby diapers are not the greatest for buffing out wax, but they're great for a final spray wax. A soft and plush baby diaper should not scratch the finish. They don't absorb as much solid wax as a microfiber towel, but by the time you're on this final step you're only removing smudges, and sweat from the wax.
