Well after hurting my shoulder and having it put me out of commission, i'm giving detailing part time another go.
I was able to trade my dewalt rotary for a PC mostly b/c i couldnt handle the dewalt anymore b/c of my shoulder. So i took a test detail of my car, 2004 GTO, and let me tell you it feels great to do it again. But i had a few ?'s since i've been out of the loop a long time.
Since my gto was pretty bad, i park under a tree and havent had it detailed since i got it (wouldnt let anyone else touch it), i used poorboy's ssr3. Everything went great, but removing the product afterwards was a pain in the arse. I mean it was like stuck on there. It added at least 40 min to my detail b/c of it. So once i knew my day was shot i went all out, used ssr2, then ssr1, polished, waxed, and sealed. The car came out "retarded" and i was psyched. But there were still some slight swirl marks?
Thing is that whole detail took me about 4 hours and i didnt even start the inside. Looking back i probably should've started with ssr2, but i didnt. Did i over do it? i think i might have....
Now granted if i do a customers car i wont take 6 steps for the exterior. Probably cut it down to 3, but what three? I sorta feel lost in the proper order for poorboy's right now, expecially after having the ssr3 be a biotch. And i dont know the proper applications when "working" as opposed to recreation.
Anyone got any input?
