![]() ![]() I have also (while not common) turned down any polishing work due to a poor environment (pollen, dust etc.)ĭepending on what your customer wants and expects, if you cant match your service to it, I would turn the job down in everyone`s best interest. I will vary this occasionally to a uro tec yellow pad or a carpro gloss pad (got them for a steal) when working with softer paints. In my case I`m currently using Buff n Shine Uro-Tec Maroon pads 90% of the time. In terms of the machine, I use my Rupes 21 pretty much all the time for this level of work (I have other machines for more intricate stuff on the more correction focused jobs) and a light cutting pad. I call the service a "gloss enhancement" rather than correction, with 50-75% correction and typically get those results pretty consistently. ![]() That being said, when I`m working outside, I am NOT chasing perfection, only improvement, and sell my service as such. These have all worked well even on black cars in direct sun on 90+ degree days I work mobile and some notables that seem to work OK for me are, 3D HD Speed (AIO), Blackfire One Step (AIO) and Jescar compound and polish. Hes a well known, well respected chiropractor in the area, so hopefully he can help promote me to all of his friends and clientele. I dont wanna take the job, but, being new in the business, I feel I need to so I can get my name out. There`s a lot of those variables I`ve considered, and some I didn`t. (Are you SURE you still want to do this job?. These are all things you need to consider in doing this detailing job. ![]() (Don`t dump it on the lawn or flowerbed!) OR killing the lawn where you are working on the vehicle.Ĩ) Where to dispose of waste water from vehicle washing or cleaning your equipment. Not knowing your physical geographic location (rural or urban) or the the size, type, and color of the vehicle you are working on all contribute to the results you may (or may not) achieve in this mobile detailing endeavor.Įnvironmental variables you will be dealing with:ġ) Sun or clouds and ambient temperature that day (More of the effect it has on you personally!)ģ) Tree leaf/seed, sap, or pollen and lawn debris from lawn cutting in the airĤ) Dust in the air from lawn cutting or windy, dry day which will swirl your wax application like NOTHING elseĥ) Insects to contend with (Northwood`s or swamp mosquitoes will eat you alive)ġ) Size of the vehicle (bigger takes longer, obviously or low vehicles like, sports cars, you are on your knees or bent over)Ģ) Contours and trim (IE, are you taping off plastic trim and rubber seals during the polishing with the one-step product?)ģ) Color of the vehicle (Black may become VERY warm)ġ) Inclined paved driveway (Makes it hard or difficult to use a ladder platform on tall vehicles)Ģ) Dirt driveway or lawn to do the work onģ) Hard water issues (washing with this in warm weather or sun will be a nightmare! Consider buying 10 gallons of distilled water to use.)Ĥ) "Convenient" water faucet/spigot or electrical outlets (IE, your garden hose or electrical cords may not be long enough to reach them!)ĥ) Nosy neighbors or kids interrupting your workĦ) Having the owner look over your shoulder as you workħ) Stains in the owner`s concrete or paved driveway from cleaning the vehicle or from products you use (or spill!) The less sun and heat you have to contend with, the better. Best suggestion if it positively HAS to be done outside at the vehicle owner`s place: START EARLY IN THE MORNING!!! ![]()
