      I dry the vehicles with opti seal after using ONR and finish with the spray wax for that extra step by hand , i like how your guys use the machine to prep the paint. If the customer is watching it definitely adds that extra mystique to the service.

      If no polishing I'd just clay mitt with beadmaker or similar and skip paint prep and orbital wax, save a ton of time same result imo. Why are sticking with liquid wax?

    • @excessivemedia9295
      @excessivemedia9295 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So you're using a liquid wax.. can I just use the same wax that's already included in the shampoo is that considered a wash and wax.. also can you elaborate on how cold it is for your and your employees fingers in the hands washing in these cold weathers.. I'm in California and in the morning around 8:00 a.m. 9:00 a.m. it's still 50° or 45° weather and my hands freeze .

      It depends on what state you live in, among a few other things, but in Arizona, this would cost $500 at a lot of companies. Having employees definitely helps with the time. I’m just one girl so this’ll take up a whole day for me, but that may be because I want everything to be perfect and can get into that “ocd” point.

    Why should you clay before waxing, doesn't the clay cause marring? And wax won't remove that. (Asking a genuine question not hating)
    Would appreciate some feedback as I'm learning too.

    • @brandomedia8711
      @brandomedia8711 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Surface contaminants don’t allow for the wax to fully bond with the surface so Clay bar helps that bond while also getting rid of the sand paper feeling. People love to feel that paint too when their car is waxed so that’s another thing. The marring is only really going to be noticeable when you are using a clay bar. Clay mitts like they were using tend to leave a lot less marring.
