Tell him that`s great and if he wants his clear coat to be there 5 years down the road, spend some money and buy wax!

Your dammed if ya do and dammed if ya don`t

I think that clear coat has given some people a false sense of what protection is on a car...if it looks shiny then its OK...a coat of wax once a year is just adding to the shiny but not the protection of the clear.

Its very evident in some of the cars that I detail

Don`t you love when they call and to you that their car has a clear coat, when 99.9% of all cars produced in the last 15 years have a clear coat.

I bet he heard that from his car salesman. Sometimes selling a car that never needs to be waxed seals the deal. :wall

Hey guys, I got this new stuff called deodorant. It means I don`t have to shower anymore.

When using that rotary...make sure to use the Maxi pad...Those work the best:rofl

best part is that they come in a large box and are real cheap..compared to those expensive, waste of your money foam ones:D

But those absorb to much causing the pad to clog...although I do want to buy that pad cleaner setup...will those fit in there?:D

I actually had a customer tell me last year that:

"Clear-coated cars don`t need anything except washing... just look at mine, obviously the clearcoat is doing it`s job!"

The car was about 10 years old and never waxed, polished, or sealed.....

(I guess the swirlmarks provide protection too!)

Mercy, mercy.:wall:(

I explained to him, what a wax does, what a polish does, and so-on. Needless to say, thank goodness, I did not get the job because my prices were too high. I knew I raised my prices for a reason...lol.

He had to the nerve to say he wanted the best job for the least money.

I remember when I bought my first new vehicle (a 94 Ford Ranger) the salesman made it a point to tell me that because it had a clear coat, I didn`t have to use soap when washing it. Umm, thanks for the heads up:hmmm:
