I would start with their Gold Class or Mirror Glaze line if you are starting a business...

i would look into paint correction as well...

I would try to hook up with a real local detailer and he can show you the ropes. Detailing at a dealership is usually a quick a messy procedure that produces sub-par results at best. Read over everything in this forum and you`ll learn how things are supposed to be done.

First, let me say I`m impressed that at 16 you have a job and are thinking about doing detailing for yourself. Now, there are several kinds of detailers on this site: the guy that just does his cars and has plenty of time and money to buy lots of pricey products and experiment, the part-timer (like me) guys that have regular jobs and detail on the side, and the Pro`s - guys that make their living doing this. Take time to read posts and keep in mind that what is great for one guy may not be the best for you.



I think you`re on the right track, if I were to do it all over, I`d start with the Megs Detailers line, get a G110 and some LC 5.5" CCS pads and go with it. Also, get some Megs 21 2.0 and 26 from the Mirror Glaze line - and if you get into paint correction - 95, 84, 83 and 80.
