    I just got a job at a car dealership washing the interioir/exterior of cars. I`m familiar with detailing my own car but obviously I`m not going to go through the process of claying, polishing, and waxing all 50 cars in the lot every week. So does anyone ahve any recommendations on some good quick products I should use?



    ps. this is a used car dealership

    Well, if you want to shortcut the heck out of the exterior, try to find a good one step paint cleaner/protectant to use like NXT and go with it.



    How many cars do you plan on doing a day? You might even want to look into a local detail supply wholesaler and buy a gallon of whatever one step they have.

    I plan on doing around 40-50 cars in 2-3 days. Some products I`ve considered adding to my lineup are...



    Eagle One Wet Car Wash

    303 Aerospace Protectant

    meguiars, mothers, or eagle one tire cleaner

    meguiars, mothers, or eagle one wheel cleaner

    Eagle One Wax as you dry



    And I don`t have a pc so I don`t have that option.

    Since you dont have a PC this choice is (NXT) a good one. (man, you must have really good arms to even think about doing this task without a PC) Invest in a PC asap is my advice! But in reality , use someting that the customers will not have trouble going over with other OTC products.... NXT still wins so far. Every product has it`s niche ! ...:xyxthumbs
    Prep is everything .. The rest is the window looking in....

    Are you contracted by the dealership or are you an employee of this dealership? I`m trying to figure out whether you will be using your personal supplies or supplies provided by the dealership?



    Man that is a lot of cars in a span of 2-3 days.
