I'm starting my own detailing business and need some help with which products to purchase: -Adam's Car Wash vs. CG Citrus Wash -Adam's All Purpose Cleaner vs. CG GreenClean All Surface -Adam's Detail Spray vs. CG Pro-Detailer Spary -Adam's Invisiable Undercarriage vs. CG Bare Bones -1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium vs. CG GreenClean All Surface -1Z Einszett Viny/Rubber Protectent vs. Adams VRT vs CG Extreme -Leather Master Strong Cleaner & Vital Conditions vs CG Leather Cleaner & Conditioner -P21S Wheel Gel vs. CG Wheel & Rim Cleaner Or any other options that would be better. Thanks in advance.
What are you trying to accomplish? Best products for the cheapest, best products with money as no object, all one brand, ect ect For wash my favorite would be Majestic Solutions Ultra Gloss - slick as anything, suds like crazy, smells amazing, cons are that it's definitely not the cheapest. For price and performance I'd go with the DG CWC, works pretty well, definitely could sud up some more, but slick and gets the job done. Very cheap. For APC I like Zep citrus, very versatile imo, EXTREMELY cheap, smells pretty good. For detail spray I found some cheap Meg's QD at autozone for $4/22oz but I haven't tried anything else. For the wheels I liked to use Zep Degreaser and Zep citrus, gets the same job done as P21S but cheaper for sure.
Get a Gloss It 4oz sample package, pretty much covers there whole line $130- 15% + Free Shipping :cig:
For someone just getting into detailing as a source of income, I would suggest getting products that are the least expensive, without sacrificing effectiveness. Once you get your name out there and get some jobs and money coming in, then you can worry about possibly using high end/boutique products. That's what I did in the beginning out it worked out great for me.
All in all, there are thousands of products that thousands of people swear by. A person that had all the adams supplies, would be suggesting you get them, while people that use CG might suggest them, and then you have people that use neither that suggest something else. Just try and do research and read reviews on the different items. If you have doubts, try out a smaller 16oz version, so if you dont like it, you are not out alot of money, and you dont have alot of product to go through. Hope that helps a little.
Wanting to do an excellent job so my business will hopefully grow quicker because of the nice work I would do. Money is a little bit of an objective but not everything. Also, where do you find the gloss it kit?
-Adam's Car Wash vs. CG Citrus Wash - MY CHOICE IS CG CWC, AND MAXI SUDS, SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS CHEAPER. -Adam's All Purpose Cleaner vs. CG GreenClean All Surface - GET YOURSELF SOME MAJESTIC SOLUTIONS SUPER GREEN STUFF INSTEAD, IT IS THE BEST (STRONGEST) APC EVER, AND IS SAFE FOR PAINT. -Adam's Detail Spray vs. CG Pro-Detailer Spary - I'D GET NEW OPTIMUM QID, IT IS DILLUTABLE (3:1), COST EFFICIENT WITH EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE. -Adam's Invisiable Undercarriage vs. CG Bare Bones - EITHER ONE, I HAVE ADAMS AND LIKE IT. -1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium vs. CG GreenClean All Surface - COCKPIT PREMIUM IS THE BEST DASHBOARD CLEANER, OTHERWISE JUST USE MS SGS THAT I MENTIONED. -1Z Einszett Viny/Rubber Protectent vs. Adams VRT vs CG Extreme - I'D GET TROPI-CARE "WHITE PEARL" TIRE DRESSING INSTEAD, IT LOOKS BETTER AND OUTLASTS ALL OTHER LISTED ABOVE, PRETTY COST EFFICIENT TOO. -Leather Master Strong Cleaner & Vital Conditions vs CG Leather Cleaner & Conditioner - LEATHER MASTER IS THE BEST BUT IT IS NOT COST EFFICIENT. I'D ONLY USE ITIF A CLIENT IS WILLING TO PAY EXTRA FOR THIS TREATMENT, OTHERWISE I'D STICK WITH SOMETHING SIMPLER, LIKE LEXOL. -P21S Wheel Gel vs. CG Wheel & Rim Cleaner - CHEMICAL GUYS STICKY GEL IS MY CHOICE, I DILLUTE IT WITH WATER 1:1. WHEN IT FAILS, I USE MEGUIAR'S WHEEL BRIGHTENER 4:1
