Hello,
We have our normal cars (GTO, Mustang GT, Acura TSX) that we wash weekly/ polish/ wax as needed, we generally use Klasse or Mothers type products for our cars, but I`m open to just about anything that is easy to use, durable, minimal dust.
About 3 years ago we started a part time /evening business detailing and every year has been better! We have alot of repeat business/ customers and did 55 cars this year. I think for our area we are well regarded, I wouldnt consider us professionals in the Autopia definition, but we are very good with restoring a vehicle to as near showroom condition as possible.
What brings me here today is we deal with alot of very average Cars/ trucks & SUV`s, very gritty vehicles that generally see a car wash if it anything. We clay just about everything and my partner is VERY good with a rotary where as I prefer the Orbital. He has been using this 3M type body shop compound and although it produces good results, it`s incredibly dusty, hard to remove, and often we have to do another wash just to get the dust out!
I`ve had it and am looking for some recomendations that will compound/ polish and easier to work with and can be used with the orbital.
Also looking for some wax/ cleaner wax type/ protection/ carnuba or sealents that will clean a little while providing durable protection that is durable for the cars we dont need to compound. I`m not wild about using the Klasse on customers cars because it is fickle and I`m still feeling it out on my own car.
I`m trying to cut time and steps. Any tips?
Thanks!
Chris
