do u polish the ENTIRE car?

[joyriide1113]

lately ive been hit with a lot of cars. word of mouth considering i dont do it professionally and only close friends. last week i hit a lexus rx300 which was swirled to death. i wouldve loved to have the entire paint completely swirl free but i made an emphasis to fucis on the rear hatch, side panels and hood. as for part like bumpers roofs and mirrors i used aio.

using the rotory on those surfaces is really awkward and the pc wouldnt have made a dent on those areas.

what do u guys do?

On my personal car I hit everything. On customer cars I'll sometimes be a bit lax on the extreme lower panels, anything where I need to hold the rotary upside down. I'll hit those with some PP on a PC to get them all squeaky clean, but unswirling them totally is way more work than it's worth, it would add an hour or more for me to just get that part. I will fully polish them out if the customer is going to be in a show or something but other than that it's too much hard work for minimal results. I also think the hood is the most important part, it's what the customer will inspect most closely because it's the largest horizontal panel (usually). The driver's door is important also.

When it come to soccor mom van and those over size SUV school bus. I do all the side panels and very light job on the roof(the worst part). Those roof rack are PITA, so I try not to spend all day at them and beside who's tall enough to see the roof on a Lin Navi :lmfao .

I like to find what my customers car care habbits are like before hand. If I know they have bad habbits and won't take care of the car I'll skip that step . I let them know why . There's no sence in wasting your time and the customers money.
