Alot of people have opinions on which is better. I personally believe that applicaion and skill is more important. For eg. If someone gave me a bottle of multi-purpose cleaner a brush and a shop vac, I believe I would get the same or better results than someone learning to clean carpets with the top carpet equipment. Aswell as I believe that Iwould get the same results with a wool pad and liquid wax than If I used "high end" products and all the fancy pads. Don't get me wrong with the better products the results would be faster, but laugh if you must, when I was younger and learning the trade, the shop I worked at use to polish with liquid wax ( the cheap stuff ) and wool pad. They still do today and you get amazing results. Last summer I went into a shop to teach the staff how to use a high speed polisher and they had an old guy from florida there aswell. The old guy laughed at them because of the cost of their products. He issued a challange and claimed he could get the same results as anyone that shop could produce when polishing the hood of a 95 black benz using any liquid product we chose and his enemy could use any and all of the top stuff. He polished an entire car with car wash SOAP. And believe me it looked awsome. I can't say much for the protecton.lol. but I was amazed. My point is I belive if you took a good detailer for eg. Scottwax and gave him below average products, with his experiance he is still going to get great results. The Same if not better than someone with a bit of experience and top products.



Anyways ust thought I would see what anyone elese thought was more important

Are you saying the guy polished an entire car with a high speed polisher and used car wash soap as his product?



I have read many times, and believe, that it's 80-90% process and 10-20% product but that example is pushing it IMO.
 
It's 80-90% process but in that example I think the right product would make more than a 10-20% difference. Assumming the process was identical I think the results with a proper compound would be much better than the results with the car soap.

id have to agree

car wash soap:nixweiss
 
On new cars it's 100% product, on older cars it's 90% prep and 10 % product. give me two showroom cars and one pro with turlte wax and one with rookie with Z2 or some other superman sealant, and i'll take the rook.
