how about my favorite step

11. Collect the money

I like the last step...........:cornut:

Process seems legit, just try to be as efficient as possible when you can... like do an interior while LSP is curing or clay after you rinse off the soap to avoid have to dry and re-dry the car etc.

You`ll be fine, enjoy it!

Next, I ALWAYS do the interior! I hate interior work so I want to get it out of the way, especially if it`s a large, trashed SUV! :banghead::cursing: Get `er dun!:StarWars:

Then I follow your steps, taking pictures along the way.

A quick squirt of Z8 immediately before the customer shows up!!!:biggrin:

Oh yeah, "The engine"... doh!:w00t: Forgot to mention that step, thanks Bill.

I`m into doing interiors, don`t know why but they don`t bug me.

I`m with you on the Z8... it just puts the icing on the cake. Very fine product.

Thanks man!:notworthy:

Thanks David. Good point of the "consolidation of time" idea. I`m so nutty/meticulous that sometimes I just watch the wax/sealer cure so I feel like I`m taking it off at the exact right time.

That makes total sense to clay, then dry... good time saver. Thanks!:thumbup:

And thanks for posting your details with the pics, I get so much good information from reading your threads... great work!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Sure thing, dont mind doing writeups with all the pics as long as people get something out of it.. that was a big factor in helping me advance my skill... still is!

Excellent point David. I was in the medical field for 25 years and sharing experience is the only way to truly learn.
Great place this is!:thumbup:

I am just like Luster, I despise interiors so I get it out of the way first. I do like David`s idea of doing it when I`m waiting for the sealant to set up and cure although my current routine is to do the wheels (polish and seal) and then dress the tires/wells while I`m waiting for the sealant.

Couldn`t aggree more

Knowledge is everything; so be ready to learn from those who?ve already got the information you need, it is this type of information that makes you both professional and knowledgeable in your field.

Don`t ever stop learning. Knowledge unshared is experience wasted

Amen to that.:thumbup::thumbup:

I`ve lurked here for quite a while and learned SO much, this is a great forum for detailing... a real "all for one" spirit here. VERY refreshing for the internet.:clap:
I figured it was time to participate and get more involved in such an excellent place.

You`re at the right place! Negativity and bashing are never tolerated here. That`s not what TID is all about, as you have discovered. A great place to learn and share knowledge!
