    wax but no wash?

    THis was pretty funny to me. I had two people call me last week wanting me to do there car. I asked them want they would like done. They said they wanted there cars waxed. I figured they wanted it washed and waxed. I went through my spill about what i would be doing to there car. Then they said hold up "i just want it waxed". NO WASH!. Then i explained that i would need to wash it and get teh dirt and grime off before hand. They didn`t approve of my price for a full wash and wax. I lost the business but i`d hate to see the fixed product if i tried it.

    People are strange. I spent 2.5 hours on the interior of a car today, and when I asked if they wanted it washed, they said, "no, it`ll just get dirty again." hmy:

    Wow! These people are morons. On the upside imagine how long it would have taken to clean your buffer pads afterward if you didn`t wash first.

    Give customers what they want....wax it with collinite 476 .....and don`t buff it, since they only ask for waxing :w00t: :biggrin:
    A man has got to recognize his limitations, and then learn how to adapt within those confines. Then go out and conquer.

    I had a guy that washed his car before hand because he only wanted wax. I still busted out some QEW . I used PB PwC and it came out nice. He actually gave me a $20 tip on top of that :w00t:
