First off, I want to say Hi to everyone here, I have been doing a lot of reading here and showcargarage the past couple weeks, and just recently registered on both places. I've gotten alot of good info, lots of knowledgable people.
A little background on me, my first job was detailing cars for a local dealership, I worked there for a couple years, the owner would always bring his cars to me because I did such a good job, after that I worked for a few different detail shops over the years, and ended up working at a dealership as a service writer.
I recently purchased a black 99 ford crew cab f250, it was covered with scratches when I bought it, and it looked like someone had tried to buff them out, the day before I bought it.
The only products I have had experience with was 3M, I stopped at a local paint store, and after talking with the the guy there I purchased, a new pad for my makita, w9006, a bottle of #83, #81, and some Tech wax, it really turned out sweet! since then I have done at least 10 different trucks at the dealership, I have been really impressed with the Meguiars products, and have decided to do some detailing on the side to make a little extra cash, besides it's something I really enjoy doing.
I already own a Makita rotary buffer, and I recently purchased about 400 bucks worth of Meguiars stuff, including a G100, I cleaned out my garage, installed 300 bucks worth of lighting in it, I already own a good shop vac, pressure washer, and a nice upholstry cleaner, so I am pretty well ready to go.
My question is, some of the cars I will be doing will be for the dealership, the send all of their detailing out, and I have been promised a few a week, what I am looking for is a one step cleaner, cleaner, and protecter for the lot cars. I will be bringing one home after work and doing them in my garage.
I also want to know what you would reccomend for the ultimate finish, what products and what steps you would use.
I am really excited about getting back into the Detail buisness, and if I get enough buisness I may open my own shop.
I have been really impressed with the Meguiars products.
