Alright..............So I`m looking at going Mobile mid-year. A little info first...
I detail full time right now at a used car lot. I`m the only one in the shop, so I do more than just detai. From changing oil, plugging tires, fluids, windows, amd everything else about the cars I fix. I started out detailing only, but as time progressed and I showed them what I am capable of doing, I get to do it all. The down side to this.......no pay raise. Honestly, It isn`t detailing. It`s cleaning. Wash the car, dress the tires/well wells, and through a coat of wax on it. And they expect it to be glossy and slick... HAHA........I do love detailing the engine bay........the down side.....They tell me to use clear spray paint instaed of a detail spray...OH WELL...........Spray paint the floor mats black if they are stained....BLAH BLAH BLAH..............
Don`t get me wrong....I HATE doing it that way.....The owner bought an extractor, so why not use it instead of friggin spray paint.
So here is what I need..........
A list of products to buy. I hear nothing but positive about PB`s line, so I`d like to start there. CWCAD offered to let me use his Menzerna IP, FP, finishing touch glaze, and FMJ......and I loved it. Though I still have not had a chance to use it on my personal vehicle. I tried it on a small section of a hood at work. Loved the results. What to top the FMJ with though? What`s the waiting time to top it?
I don`t need a list of supplies, as I already have about it all.....Just a list of Chemicals to buy....and what order to use them.....I`m used to the CAR BRITE line at work, but not too happy about the outcome on most of the product.
Thanks in advance...
Chris
