Products you will need before you start your own detailing service.

So then why would you use DACP then SMR if they are both abrasives then wouldn't using both of them be overkill?

When you get done with using DACP, and there are still some swirls left, you use a less aggressive product, like a SMR or glaze.

Just like sandpaper on wood - where you start with a low number (course) and work your way up to high number (fine).



DACP followed by SMR to remove the marks left by the DACP - then followed by GEPC/S100 etc. to remover the marring left by the SMR.

If you are going to be charging people for a detail, then you'd better be real sure of this stuff before you start. Your best bet for a crash course is to download the e-book.

yeah i am planning on practicing alot before I start to charge people. But I haven't bought all of the products yet.

Using SMR after DACP is pretty much a waste of time.



If the DACP didnt remove the swirls, SMR certainly wont.



DACP doesnt seem to leave any marks behind (none that I can see anyways) that AIO and UPP cant handle.

One major item was left off the "Pro Detailers Kit List". A nice icy cooler full of beer. If I can't fit everything in the car, I will leave the toothpicks at home and bring the beer.
