Right now my shop needs to step up both efficiency and effectiveness when it comes to paint correction. Historically for dealership details (for which we`re paid a whopping $100-$120 per car), we`ve used Sleek by Carbrite, applied with a pad that looks like foam shag carpet - this is the stuff we got when we bought the business.
Prior to getting into the dealership scene, I always compounded and polished with a Griots DA and a 5" pad, starting typically with m105 and a meguiars MF pad, followed by 205 or 300 on a white hydro foam pad, followed by a wax or sealant.
I`d love to do a very quick, inexpensive and effective one-step paint correction, followed by perhaps Sleek applied with a a polishing pad to effectively wax it/glaze it. I`m wondering if we should do a more aggressive rotary pad/polish combo, or if there`s quick enough ROI for a Rupes 21. I have two rotaries (Dewalts) right now, so I`d kinda hate to lose the speed and utility of them, but if there`s a better go-to polishing step that works for dealership cars, I`m all ears.
Thanks gentlemen (and ladies).
