I was just wondering how many of you use an AIO for customer cars. I have been doing this to keep profits up and still keep customers happy. Where I live I can't charge an arm and a leg for my details so I've been just polishing and protecting with AIO'S. If the customer wants to pay more I will do more correction with a compound and polish, but I just can't spend all that time and product at the prices im at. How do you guys charge for correction? Do you make it a whole other service or just add on a certain dollar amount if the customer wants to pay for correction?

Again, we do auction/production/dealer work, and we use meguiars m66 as a 1 step AIO about 90% of the time. Orange LC pad with a GG6 and you get best of both worlds, cut and polish. Obviously we dont care about protection much, but you a bit of that too. And its CHEAP!!! Highly recommend for quick details.

How many passes do you normally make when your using that aio?
 
I do 50% overlaps usually. Meaning go down and back then move over half the pad width and go down half the pad width come back. And so on
 
Not sure how that differs from my response. Say doing half of the hood on a small car you make maybe 10 total passes. Really just comes down to what type of results you're getting. Try a spot and see then adjust accordingly.
 
Pureshine, I'm very impressed with your menu. Great job!

I had a customer at the car wash who just wanted the swirls out, last fall. I used M66 also, and the car turned out beautifully! Poor guy bought a tub of Pinnacle Souveran, and didn't realize that it wouldn't remove swirls. I used a white Lake Country CCS pad on the Porter Cable. The vehicle was a 2012 Audi A7.
