Diff. cars = diff. process?

I`ve been wondering if you guys out there that do detailing on many different cars use a different process with different products for the different cars or do you stick with about the same process/products depending on what needs to be done? I don`t know if that was coherent, but like do you have a "go-to" process for a car with swirls and one for oxidation and one for use on cars with a very good condition paint job? Or do you customize even further by in addition having different setups by color?

IMO different shapes and colors can be improved on with different LSP`s- a car with sharp lines might look better with a bright sealant where a dark round car might look better with a warmer, softer sealant

Yep, pretty much every car is a *slightly* different process, black needing the most non-aggressive method as possible.

I agree with all of the above. Cars are also as you mentioned in different conditions, some are swirled badly, some are oxidized, some are clearcoated, older clasics are sure to be single stage painted. There are so many variables to consider that it is a disservice to you to attempt to give any "rules" of how to proceed due to the fact that any solution is complicated by personal choice/opinion.

This will download a copy of the autopia Guide book ! It is most useful:xyxthumbs :xyxthumbs :xyxthumbs

Prinzii posed this very question in a private discussion and asked if we should actually think about starting an area for threads by make/model.

I`d be interested in hearing more input.

Where would you draw the line? There are thousands of models.
