Also, what's the point of doing multiple step paint correction on a 10 year old Toyota with 150K miles that the guy takes to the coin wash every 6 months. This 151 sounds like exactly what I've been needing for a long time.

You nailed it. Too many people don't understand that the average person just wants a shiny car, not a show car, at least they don't want to pay for show car results and they're not going to do the work it takes to maintain a show car finish.

Evaluate the customer first, then the paint. Don't sell show car detailing work to a person using their car as a daily driver. Understanding this is key to making your customer happy as well as you, not too mention it will keep you from burning out.

I'll still have my high dollar stuff for the few customers that really care and APPRECIATE my work, sure could stand a few more of them.

Perfect.

Great post, great insight.

Hey, I'm not really active over here on MOL but I do like to check in and see the cool stuff. On other Detailing Forums there doesn't seem to be as much appreciation for the shops that do fast/production-line like details, but I beg to differ. I detail on the side and after 2 years of trying and buying the pricey flavor of the month boutique brands and working my middle-aged butt off for 10 bucks (or less) a hour - I had one of those "My Name is Earl" moments.

I realized that 90% of my customers just want a clean shiney car - that I can get with either 21 or 26 or if they want, 21 topped with 26. Also, what's the point of doing multiple step paint correction on a 10 year old Toyota with 150K miles that the guy takes to the coin wash every 6 months.

This 151 sounds like exactly what I've been needing for a long time. I'll still have my high dollar stuff for the few customers that really care and APPRECIATE my work, sure could stand a few more of them.

Ya'll hurry up and stock those shelves, May only has a few days left.

OK, I'll say it...

It isn't so!

I'm the project lead on the PRC product. I'm not aware of any delay in production and we are on-time/on schedule.

I'll also say...have yourself a great Memorial Day weekend, then come back and place your order for D151 PRC!

And they say only the Mikes know what is going on!
(That sounded weird!)

Thanks Jason. This is probably the most exciting product of the year for me.

PS - Somebody should probably let everyone in C/S know.

OK Mike, I get it.

Now about this quote: "Find something you like and use it often"

If you like D151, can you use it too often? I had a 1990 black full-size Bronco (enamel no clear) that I actually buffed through to the primer and this was by hand and with an "old-fashioned" orbital buffer.

The quote,

"Find something you like and use it often"

is in the context of "maintaining" your car in general, not polishing the paint once a week. That said, more than a few of our cars have had shiny primer spots on them after years of buffing the original single stage paint. Also consider when we purchased our old cars with single stage paint they've already had multiple owners for decades before we ever worked on them, so hard to say what product have been used on them in the past and how much paint was on the car by the time we took possession.

This truck here had black primer showing through on the hood from years of polishing the blue paint off, but it was clean and somewhat shiny for primer. The sides had this spots to on the high points...





As for your question, a new car with a clear coat finish that has all of its integrity, (film-build), shouldn't be a problem for waxing often but D151 is a type of cleaner/wax with the ability to remove swirls and other below surface defects.

In the real world a person might use this the first time they detail a car or truck to remove the defects but after that a polish/wax or a pure wax could be used to maintain it so that you're not removing paint each time you wax your car. If you find you need the D151 because the paint keeps getting swirls and scratches then it's time to look at the root cause of the problem and try to address this issue instead of continuing to use a cleaner/wax which will continue to remove paint.

Oh, I really don't need D151. Most of the time I get by with NXT applied with a polishing pad (rarely pre-polish) on both my white Ram and my wife's white Tacoma.
