You'd be surpised how much help someone just wiping off the polish can be. Great job!

Greg, do you feel your way of detailing has changed from the way you would detail "normal" cars to the bulk jobs you do now? Like do you feel you pay more attention or less to certain items?
 
Also, when you do those two step polishes that include the rotory and the pc, do you finsh the whole car with the rotory first and then start the whole car with the pc, or do you finish each panel with both?
 
Well doing this big jobs on paint only is different than doing full detials on cars. I prefer cars naturally. I have just learned the best ways to buff and which products work the best. THe optimum line is pretty much my go to but menzerna FPII usually is my last polish.

Doing all the cars for the limo place I dont go after every little scratch. All the swirls are removed but to get every scratch would be rediculous becuase the paint will again look poor and then if I have to buff again the paint will just get thinner and thinner. I still of course dont cut any corners becasuse that just lowers the qaulity of the detail.

BTW havnt heard fro ya lately!

I'm amazed at the amount of work you can get done in one day and still find the time to take pictures!

-Outstanding-
 
I'm guessing a rotary is a must have in doing limo's. Would you even attempt to do paint correction with a PC on something that size?
 
Doesn't that milk crate hurt you ARSE? I've been using a little read seat with a tray on the bottom. I got it at Pep Boys. Its comfortable enough but the wheels are bending and don't allow the wheels to spin freely.

I agree!

Nice job Greg!

How many pads did you go through -or do you spur them out as you go?
