Is there anyone else besides me that thinks that manufacturers should, in this day and age be showing us how to use their products? Certianly streaming video and u tube have lowered the cost to where any size company can accomplish this without breaking the bank.
I recently attended a detailing weekend event at Poorboys in Nyack, NY. I got a great education on how to use their products and in detailing in general. I guess that if I was not lucky to hear about it and close enought to drive there I would still be using polishes wrong and trying to correct with the wrong equipment and pads.
Video's show you what a 300 word post can't convey. I guess some poeple learn better hands on and others from a manual.
My biggest problem was I was not breaking down the polishes enough or working them long enough. In addition, I was not applying enough pressure. I was always afraid of taking off too much clear coat.
I was lucky enought to have a great experience at PB's and now they have a loyal customer. If you can educate someone, show them how to be sucessfull with your product, you have them hooked(IMHO).
Will I ever try another product in the future? When a new technology emerges that get good reviews from people I respect I am sure I will, but for the foreseeable future I have enough product to do my cars many many times over.
I realize this is a Pro board and yes, I also realize that these would be more beneficial for getting Newbies up to speed.
I would call this Show and Sell marketing.
