Now I know I'm a detail freak

I have one of those green power boxes in my front yard. Well today I looked at it and got an idea. Since some of my customers come to my house for a detail( like the Mazda in the pic) I would use the green box as a chart.

Heres what I mean. I sectioned it into 4 sections. I can than show the person how different steps can make a dramatic difference and that they are actually paying for what they get.

Heres the different sections...

1. A simple carnauba cleaner wax----far left
2. A simple polymer wax ---second from left
3. A body scrub B4 wax---second from right
4. And body scrub/wax/glaze-----far right

Now these aren't my only steps that I can do and I can explain others to them, but I figured these will be the 4 most often used groups. The pics don't give justice as far as the difference between the 4. You can see some reflection difference but the feel is the kicker,as I'm sure you can tell.

So now I have a "soft" gleaming green power box in my front yard. I will most definately hope for a difference after some rain "since we get some of that here in the pacific northwest".

So as you can see.....I'M A DETAIL FREAK!!


P.S. sorry for the length of this post

Here are 3 closer pics,notice how much better you can read the lettering after the scrub compared to no letter reflection without scrubbing
