    Heck no, a gallon of 80 is fine. You will use it a LOT. I do.

      FWI, I would say a 32oz of #80 and #83 will be sufficient. I have both in the same size and after detailing five cars, I still have a lot left. Since your only detailing cars on weekends and some after school hours, the 32oz will last you a long while. If you get a gallon, you will need to get a smaller bottle for easier use. At least with the 32oz bottles you can keep them with your other detailing supplies and not have worry about a big gallon bottle getting in the way.

        what a lucky guy. . . i think you should get # 80 and #83, some pads, some clay ( i think the less agressive ine is much better) and some soap. and don't forget the microfibres this will be sufficient for your car detailing business

          What to do, what to do. Two people whose opinions I respect gave me conflicting advice. Anyone else have a suggestion as to how much I should get? (Not to say I don't appreciate the advice that has already been given; I'm just slightly in a quandry as to which advice to follow). If it makes any difference, I already have at least 4 vehicles lined up I want to try 80 on.

          Thanks frustrateddetailer! Just FYI, I'm a girl.

            It's whatever you feel like doing, didn't mean to confuse you. I feel it's easier to carry around 32oz bottles since they are smaller than a gallon, but you have enough on hand to do many vehicles w/o "reloading". If you can get the "sample" size dispensing bottles, get one if you decide to do the gallon jug of #80. I figure you can get a 32oz of #80 and #83 for less or about the price of a gallon of #80. You might get a job where #80 won't cut it and need to move up to #83. Just a thought.
