Every Little Detail is on a distinguished road
Scott, I think we are doing completely different styles of detailing.1000 cars a year is incredible assuming you work 5 days a week you are seeing 3 clients a day every single week, year around. I do 50 cars a year, tops. It takes me 6-8 hrs for a complete detail depending on the size of the vehicle i.e. wash,clay, high speed polish,polymer sealent, windows, vacuum interior, shampoo car mats, spot clean carpets, spot clean upholstry/Leather, dress all vinyl/ leather. Most of the vehicles are BMW's, Mercedes, Porsche many of them black. These clients want their cars perfect every 4 or 5 months they would have a bird if I was using 2 quarts of water. I am rinsing my mitt every few passes in a separate 5gal. bucket from my 5gal. washing solution.
I would love to believe that you could wash a car with 2 quarts of water, I constantly wash my own vehicle during our Canadian winters when it is 35F to 40F. It is brutal!I just can't believe there is a product that revolutionary that you can apply it to a dry car with the same mitt one section at a time, chamois it dry with the same chamois for the whole car and not scratch the vehicles paint.
What do you do about cleaning the tires and rims? Dried on Bird droppings?Tree Sap? Flushing the wheel wells and under carraige?
