Just to let you know your post is floating around numerous car detailing forums about how stupid you are. You need to listen to the guys that are talking to you. You are just damn lucky you haven't ruined somebody's car that you were working on. What you are doing is dangerous and unethical. You are misleading people who don't know any better and you who should know doesn't have a clue. A full detail can sometimes take hours or even a few days to completely make a car look better than new. What you are doing can be done in an hour. Do you throw your car wash mitt on the ground between cleaning? Anytime you clay bar you have to wax!!!! Clay bar is designed to remove any contaminant on your paint and to the clay wax falls into that category. It removes everything down to the clearcoat. Never use anything but a high quality car wash to wash your car. Dish soap is the worst thing you can put on your car. It is designed to remove grease and grime and what falls in that category... wax. The way you are washing and not waxing you have absolutely no protection on your car. I admit a quick detailer can give you a lot of shine but there is NO protection. If you work for a dealer I see the problem, you are the reason why I get a new car I have to take the time and remove every swirl mark and defect that YOU put onto the paint. It is because of you people think detailers are just trying to get their money. That is all you are doing!!!! If you even dare try to reply to this and say you are right I will post right back and put you in your place. You have to be the stupidist person I have ever heard of and you are giving the guys a good laugh. Dumb ass. |
hey ***deleted for inappropriatness***, I could care less what YOU and others are saying. you're all hypocrits to me.
one minute you say the paint doesn't react with the sun, which I like to call "breathing" because a paintjob never fully "cures", the next minute you say the paint must be "sealed", which would lead one to believe that the paint does in fact "breathe". make up your ****** mind.
One reason I get clients is because I do good damn work. I don't wash my cars in direct sun and I damn sure don't wax/polish them every time I do them. IT'S NOT NECCESSARY. *****.
Countless threads are in here about different ways to get the same ****** result,
A CLEAN DETAILED CAR. you can slap on any amount of layers of wax/polish/sealant/waxsealant/polish/etc...all you want to, but at the end of the day, that ******car will be still catch dirt/grime in the same amount of time as a car with less "fluff" build up on it. NONE OF THE SHIT HAS UV PROTECTANT IN THEM IF ANY AT ALL as noted on Mequiars' own site:
Some waxes do contain UV-protection agents, but the amount of protection that a microscopically thin layer of wax can provide is limited
The primary goal of a wax is to protect the top layers of paint that contain UV-protection agents from the paint manufacture. If you wash and wax your car regularly, your paint will be protected and you should suffer no major UV damage over the normal course of the life of the car.
Don't be fooled by some companies that lead you to believe that it is the UV protection in a wax that protects your car's finish from fading and failure, this is dishonest and simply not true. Taking care of the paint you presently have will go further to protect your finish than relying on protection supplied by a liquid you pour out of a bottle, or a wax you scoop out of a can. UV protection in a car wax formula is only an extra-dose of preventative maintenance, not the end-all, cure-all that some companies would lead you to believe.
UV protection for paint is much different from UV blocking ingredients for human skin. The two formulas are nothing alike and work in drastically different ways. There is no correlation between the ratings applied to the different levels of sun blocking protection for products intended for use on human skin and the ingredients available for use in an automotive wax formula. Sad to say, much of what you see advertised about the protective qualities of most car care products on the market today is simply over-exaggerated hype used to separate you from your hard earned dollars.
Read ^ that last line and let it burrn in real good ******
...all you're doing is trying to get people to spend untold amounts of money on shit off the shelf for damn reason. YOU ARE NOT HELPING..
And I'm sorry if the cars you looked at on the lots had ****** details, that's life. find another lot, *****.
