I've just started my own detailing business after a bad motorcycle accident I was in last December as I was not able to return to my previous job. I've been doing my own car and motorcycle detailing for years. I would get complements from people where ever I went so when I couldn't go back to my old job I decided to start my own. I love doing the work and seeing a finished product. I've used Meguiars for years and love the results I get. I'm in this forum to get feedback and suggestions as I am getting a little busy detailing. I have a potential customer who builds hot rods and after seeing a few cars I detailed he asked me to do some of his car builds and possibly some of his customers cars.I look forward to talking with some of you with your comments and suggestions.12Clay and then apply wax.33.33%4Use a rubbing compound then apply polish.0.00%0Use a buffing wheel on all paint surfaces.0.00%0Other66.67%8Ride hard, Live long -
Glad to have you aboard...
I think you need to give these few links a read over... From your choices in the poll, none of them are really quite right or are a bit old fashioned.
Of course, be sure to ask away

Hi pitbullrk,
to MOL!
Good luck with your "new" profession.
I voted for "other" as I don't believe that the other choices listed are appropriate for every finish (nor are they mutually exclusive, you may find that some combination of them or none of them is appropriate for a given finish).
If I may quote Mike Pennington, Meguiar's Director of Training; "Evaluate the surface, choose the right product, and use good technique."

First Welcome to MOL!
I voted 'other' and agree with others it all depends on the surface you are working on.
