I'm going to detail cars on the side over the summer, and I've gotten a lot of great input from my "constructive criticism" thread over in Autopia University, but now I'm kinda stuck. I'm unsure of what polish/sealant/wax to use on my customers' cars. Over the course of the summer, I probably plan to do about two cars a week, so it's not too much work I'll be doing. I've heard to do just a glaze, and then just a sealant, etc., but what can/should I use on their cars that'll give them a good shine with descent durability that doesn't empty out my wallet? Klasse, Megs, Poorboys, UPP? Please help me out. Thanks.
 
Try to get a sealant in bulk. Klasse is sold by the gallon but I think it's more expensive than Meguiar's #20. If you can get #20 by gallon then it's probably the cheapest. Scottswax likes Final Polish but I'm not sure if it's sold by the gallon.

Final Polish is only available in quarts as far as I know. Great stuff, but for only a few bucks more, you can get a gallon on #26, which is a very nice carnuba based wax. #20 would be your best bet as a cost effective sealant.
