Quotebilld55Gina Why do'nt you bring up a subject to talk about for once. First, you are bitching to change the topic, and now you wonder why the forum is so quiet. Bud and myself seem to be the only ones here that have anything to say.

Something else to think about its 90% application and 10% product in other words a good detailer can get acceptable results from poor products but a poor detailer can only get poor results from the best products.by Custom Detail - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
QuoteGrumpy2Randy, I find it interesting that the Griot's product is also a floor stripper/cleaner, etc. I would image that the MSDS shows high concentrates of Trisodium Phosphate, Metasillica and Sodium Hydroxide. Which would explain the "chalky", etc apperance of the paint after it was used. Ketch Ron I hope your not confusing me with Mr. Delmount!by Custom Detail - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

First thing to remember is the color of the compound. When working on chalky Gel-coat, the color will transfer. So it’s important to find compound that has little or no color (white). Dark brown or red color will soak in to the gel-coat permanently. Also, the coarser the compound, the more steps are necessary to restore gloss.

Frank I should have added, that shop has it in reverse use the lost leader price to bring them in and up sell them to your highest price package! But than again I would think a well established shop shouldn't have to do that. I have not done it in years. I liked missing the top edge of the windows there are more of those most missed spots like the back side of the rear view mirror andby Custom Detail - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
You bet Frank That shop is using the 80/20 rule, but not the way I learned in a buisness class I took years ago. The idea is to spend 80% of time on 20% of your customers to get them to spend more money in your shop and use more of your services. They are getting the customer to come back and to spend less!by Custom Detail - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
Frank: Your 100% right on always give the customer more than they expect not just what is expected of you! price will not be an issue and that will be a customer for life!by Custom Detail - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
