detailing myths

+1, unfortunately many seem to think that around here :tiptoe:

I don't condition leather (although I can see how certain leathers would benefit from something like Leatherique), I don't dress the interior either. I will do both, however, if a customer requests it or if I have some time to kill. Getting both clean (steam, brushes, proper cleaner, etc.) goes a long way into making the interior look good.

 

Because some of us like waxes like swissvax and zymol?oke:

 

maybe not a myth but i get a lot of these

"i don't believe in rotary polishers"

 

lol...I remember this crazy dance, I used to have that as my signature in AGO still love it :cheerl:

Well bigpoppa, it comes down to personal preference and as far as money goes, some of us have it wile others don't..to each there own how they choose to spend it. I personally enjoy trying new things and don't pay too much attention to price tags, as long as I'm happy that's all that matters.....but like I said to each there own. Besides I'm a firm believer on don't knock it till you try it...lol..that saying has cause me to spend so much money on detailing products :shakehead: lol..but I don't mind, just makes my detailing collection grow and grow.

 

Fireglaze DS that I tested in 2006, held up for a year of weekly self serve coin op washes with hot soap and water and towel dry with no booster sprays used at all

sheeted all year long

However I must admit, the Australian climate, besides our extreme UV and high temperatures, is pretty weak compared to Europe when it comes to cold temps, snow, sleet, salt etc as we don't suffer from those

So yeah in australia, its possible. In europe, russia, UK - I dunno

 

I know, I'm not trying to knock anyone. If I had money to blow, it would be on, you guessed it, detailing products. Unfortunately, I don't, so it is kinda hard for me to imagine spending that much on wax (my most expensive LSP is under $30, LOL).

 

1. Clay bars don't do anything
2. Buffers don't do anything that you cant do by hand
3. the porter cable can't do any real correction
4. the same wax will look the same on all colors
5. paint correction isn't needed.
6. my car doesn't have swirl marks after saying no paint correction has ever been done on 10 year old paint

 

1.Nica is very conservative when purchasing products.
2.Detailers aren't crazy.

I've found out that Billy Mays Fix IT scratch remover works is a myth! :doh:
