I have been reading about some of you using PwC strictly as a one step product. I am not sure what this means. does this replace a couple of other steps that you would normally do, and is this something you use on a customers detail that might not want the higher priced "full" detail?

your comments are appreciated

you can use it as a one step product or use it as a base for EX-P, EX or a carnauba.

:yeah It is one of the easiest to use, and best looking, one-step products you can find. In this case, one-step means a paint cleaner/polish/protectant in one product.

hmmm, would it take out some swirls to, or would i have to use a speicific swirl remover?

It's more of a chemical cleaner, but it can remove some minor spiderwebbing if used with a suitable applicator or PC pad.

:yeah

The pad is doing the corrective work here. Can of course glaze with SSR1 then PwC if there are lots of swirls etc.

If people are only wanting to pay for a one-step then they will be impressed with the 'revived' look to the paint and less concerned with swirling - if they even know what that is ;)
 
Absoutely guys, and to add to that, I used PwC with my rotary at 1000 on an Edge blue pad today on black and I am just astounded with the results. It was so surface dirty, I wasn't quite sure PwC could handle it. Luckily (HA), the guy hadn't washed the car very often at all, so no bad swirls since the last time I detailed about 4 months ago. The paint was a bit hazy, and had some "gunk" on the front end.

I talked to Poorboy Steve about this for about 20 minutes tonight, and considered opening up a thread, but this one handles it perfectly. The rotary heated up the product nicely, and I think by heating up the carnauba, it made it shine even more. I've never achieved the same results with the PC before at a high speed. I had my assistant working the inside of the car while I was applying, and when he finished, he popped out saying, "Did you already buff it off"? It worked in that nicely, and came off like a dream.

This was a sort of "pro bono" type job. A little money was earned, but in the end, I just didn't have the time to do a 2 step polishing, 2 step protection type detail, so this worked out well. Your right, they type of client who doesn't want to pay the big bucks could easily go this route. It is a fine product indeed.
 
Yeah, PWC is good stuff. I'm using this more than most of the other products I have right now. And you're right Nick, that for those that are on tight budgets (or just plain cheap), this will do good. A few of my jobs are low buck work, so a wash+PWC, and out the cars goes looking better. For the really nice customers, I throw in a coat of #16, but Im going to start trying out the Natty wax next.
 
Sorry if it sounds like a silly question, can PwC be used on the windscreen? ot it's not advisable due to the carnauba content. I've used VM on the wscreen previously and it lasted me for more than a month....(probably more if I hadn't replenish a second coat on it), mind you the average temp here is around 93F

PP is used mostly on glass. I thought that PwC would smudge etc when the wipers were on, I imagine you'd discover the pro'd and con's as soon as the rain hits the windscreen.
