<HTML>the majority of people i detail cars for are not interested in paint correction , when it comes to the paint they want nothing more than "a wax job". but when it comes down to it i refuse to wax paint that is not prepped in some way shape or form. if there is one step/product that would give me and the customer the most bang for the buck in prepping the paint to be waxed ; what would it be? something that would cover 99% of the cars you would see. (this is something i would do on every car , giving the customer the option of additional steps/results).please help</HTML>

<HTML>"thanks for taking time to help. would using the #66 be the only step or would there be a benefit to adding an additional coat of wax after the #66. thanks again !"

<HTML>i appreciate the response.i have tried one step products and do find them usefull , but there are many times (most of the time) that i feel even just one step prior to waxing (even with a one step product) would have made a dramatic differance. with that being said i am wanting to know what would be the best 2 step procedure and the products to use. this would be a starting point for me . something i would do to every vehicle i detail. the majority of work i have done has been with a pc ; though i did purchase and am getting somewhat comfortable with a makita rotary. thanks guys i appreciate the help !</HTML>

<HTML>John, use Abraham's 1 step and it will clean,then seal. He uses his Diamond Plus in the mix. Thus giving you a 2 step in ONE! I have used it many times,and any vehicle thats been out for a few years can use a good surface cleaning before sealing or waxing which ever you prefer. This is the way I do it. Vehicles say less than 2 years old if they are of the out doors variety,and aren't garage kept, shouldn't need the cleaner and you could just wash and seal or wax. This in itself could be disclaimer as it will depend where the vehicle has been and exposed to what!

One of my best trucking customers vacationed in Southern California,and drove his new Benz conv out there and back. That thing looked like it had been left for 2-3 years un attended....Hope this helps.......Brandy</HTML>
