Extra things like polishing? Since when it compounding and polishing "extra" paintwork correction is a detailer's #1 fine art! It is what seperates the ameteurs from the professionals. |
paintwork correction is not always needed on cars. you do understand that fact right? there's no need to correct anything when the cars are in pretty good shape paintwise to begin with., i.e.- the car lots I've detailed for.

LSPs are absolutely mandatory, and failure to protect the paint is, as stated before, unethical business practice in the detailing field.

What's unethical is selling a client a ****** of goods they don't need. I don't do that. I tell them exactly what they need and don't try to add extra procedures in to scam more money from. if they NEED a good wax/polishing, I suggest it and get it done. coaxing people to add 4 coats of polish and 2 coats off wax is just overkill and borderline scamming like a mechanic. That hurts professional detailers more than anything.

A polished and protected surface can stay swirl free for months, even after washing and heavy weather. If you do not, it will become extremely soiled, and that dirt sticks to the paint, making it a complete pain to remove.

******If this is the case, why do so many car owners get it re-done so frequently if it lasts so long?.

As a detailer, I must take the responsible position knowing that I have knowlege of many tips and tricks that almost all of my clients don't understand, some don't care at all. Letting them be the judge is irresponsible, how are they supposed to know if it's as good as it can be, you're supposed to be the expert.

is this a pissing contest?

You clay right on top of the dirt? How fast does your claybar become completely soiled?
Terrible. If this is your procedure, then you have never properly clayed a car. Honestly, I wash, then clay, then wash the residue away again - it never takes very long the second time around.

LOL...Ok, Mr. Know-it-All...your comments reak of arrogance. the shit you're saying is not even on the side of the ****** box instructions. all you're doing is peddling your routine and all I have to say to that is, ********. I have my own routine and it works wonders. thank you.
there's scam mobile detailers all over the place. they include their "gas money" in the with the price, some don't even offer discounts for using the customer's water.
my motto is
"If I do it wrong, I do it Free". and I only had one instance where I had to do it Free, and that was when I was 19 yrs old and still wet behind the ears on true detailing.
