Coatings vs. Standard LSP`S discussion

[boxingfan30]

Are you a pro Detailer or what? I mean what you charge has nothing to do what I charge but let me assure you that I`m on the lower end - others charge more than I

I`ve done 20 or 30 cars, so call it what you want. What`s a pro? Someone who thinks they are or just has access to "secret" products?

[Thomas Dekany]

Do you do this for a living? To me that is a pro, we pay taxes, pay insurance etc... Whether you have mad skills or not.

Whatt so do you do for a living?

No, I do it on the side, its mainly for my own enjoyment.

Yes but were those 20 to 30 cars professional quality or perhaps beyond?

I feel I do well at paint correction, but to call myself a pro isnt really the word I would use. I do all cars to the best I feel they can be done

Hoped you knew I was just messing with you. The term professional has so many definitions depending upon the industry. Without some type of standards organization anyone can claim to be professional. There are professional YoYoers and professional Yodelers, they may have even made money doing it, my point is there probably good at it and call themselves professionals. Further, the fact that someone makes a living doing something doesn`t mean they`re good at it. Think about this for a minute, the guys that do the details at the dealerships, you know, the ones that everyone pokes fun at. They do this for a living (at least for the time being), they`re professionals. Having said that, I`m sure your work is beyond professional.

I`ve never seen your work so I don`t know how good you are, but even if you do pro quality work but on the side you are still not a professional Detailer. Unless you do everything else a pro does. A volume shop Detailer maybe a hack, but still called a pro. Unfortunately

what do you do for a living ?

[MiVor]

Wow $800 - $1000. I can buy a lot of Duragloss (sealant) for that kinda money even if I have to apply it two (or three) times a year.

Why does it matter what I do for a living? What does that have to do with detailing.

I also could care less if I was considered a pro detailer, maybe if I put a cute little authorized detailer sig under my name that would make me a pro. Never did I claim to be a pro, nor could I care what you consider me. I consider you a lot of things, but your childish arrogance tops the list for me...and apparently for a lot of others here as well.

We aren`t true professionals if we use DG here lol.

Sure, I understand man, calling myself a professional would be putting myself a bit on a high horse and so I just choose to say that I do it for enjoyment. Humility is much more what I`d like to practice than giving myself a title.

Ahhh, love ignore. Anyway, I`d like to get the discussion back on track
