Thought about this as im working on cars in my spare time. Where do you as a hobbyist, employee, new person or business owner want to see detailing become in the future? So many things are happening right now that I feel the industry is expanding at a rapid rate
 
Cordless. Everything. I hate cords.

I want high torque cordless. I don't care how many batteries I need.

This might happen, just takes time for battery tech to develop. Milwaukee now has alot of huge batteries equaling corded stuff in power. I just prefer corded
 
In the future, I would like to see a ceramic coating be applied in one spot and cover a whole panel on its own

With LiPo and LiIon technology, you can have just about an entire garage full of cordless power tools including snowblowers and lawnmowers. They really aren't all that far away. My 18v and 40v Ryobi stuff is pretty awesome and not that pricey, especially once you have a few batteries and chargers in the shop.

I think for cordless DA orbitals, it will just come down to weight and torque. I'll be first in line when they hit the market, though.
 
An LSP that shoots bird poop back at the bird.

Hot chicks in bikini's that know how to detail and make house calls. :laughing::laughing:
 
I'd love to see more development in matte paint technology. Right now as it stands, once matte paint gets a long scratch or something, it's done. You can't do anything about it. I'd like to see a specific kind of pad and compound made for matte paint. Matte paint has a lot of the microscopic ridges and valleys instead of smooth like regular clearcoat, I would love to see something that will allow us to actually repair matte paint instead of a repaint being the only kind of solution.
 
I'd like IDA to have a bigger role in the industry, certifications, guidelines, standards and training, continuing education, and states adopt the IDA as the certification's process in order to do business.

The average consumer knows that getting their car detailed is better than a $3.00 car wash, and they think it's merely a "wash and wax by hand" aside from that (unless we educated them), they really don't know what happens when they drop the car off and pick it up hours later. And to be honest, I wouldn't know either, because there is no standards or state mandated certification.

The IDA would be great for this because their on the side of the detailers.

That's what I'd like to see... Oh, and yes, everything cordless, including washing the car... That dang hose!!! :)
 
Better UV protection. I think Optimum is pretty good from a technology standpoint. They make pretty good sunscreen for our skin these days. They should advance sunscreen for paint similarly.

Some way to gauge LSP life other than beads. Then I'd like to see a hydrophilic oleophobic coating.
 
The holy grail is a true touchless wash that actually cleans the paint. My guess is that it will be steam. Not like now where they chase the wand around like a cat toy, but a huge volume of hot vapor that will strip a car bare in 10 minutes without using any chemicals.

Interesting. From my understanding, matte paint is just your normal clear coat with a flattening/matting agent added to it. Do you have magnification pictures of 2 same cars with the different paint types to show this?
 
I'd like to see our polishing tools with the ability to change the rotation direction at the flip of a switch, much like a drill does.
