First Dealership: Update
Hey guys, demo went good today, I ended up doing the Prius and the owner loved the result and gave me 2 more cars he wanted done immediately. Mercedes still had LOTS of the original clear coat which made it pretty tough and ended up having to go down to 220 grit dry. About 80 mins total. I think I could get it down to about 45 minutes if I used a drill attachment for the lower grits and then hand sanding 600+, anyone have any experience doing that? Do the deeper scratches from the low grits tend to come out easily or not? The owner said that he’d call me back for some more cars soon and we agreed to $70/car so thanks to Clayton and Andrew for hyping me up to be confident with my price, the resto’s turned out awesome🤘

Used rags...
How is everybody cleaning used rags? Is it okay for the washing machine just to throw used rags in there if they have the chemicals and compounds on them?

i’ve heard P&S Rags to Riches is pretty good but never used it myself
First dealership tomorrow
I drove past this dealership today during my main job, ended up meeting one of the owners and gave him a flyer and offered to count up his cars and come back tomorrow for a demo. There’s 10+ vehicles in bad shape and a few more just starting to peel so hopefully I can book the whole lot on the spot after the demo. Any tips for pricing and also for restoring the white Durango light? (looks like it’s been restored previously, terrible job though) Open to any and all suggestions, thanks in advance everybody! Also is it smart to do the red Prius for the demo or try with a nicer looking car?

@Nader Aljarboua I haven’t decided whether to polish or not just for time’s sakes, but most likely will do it today and then apply ceramic on top as I’ve done recently for customer cars.

@Andrew Tucker I appreciate the advice! I’ll make sure to be to the point and professional, and hopefully I can get them to bite, thanks Andrew!
Toyota in the cold
Doing some testing…Stay clear good as ever in 3°(37°F) no heat gun used on lens. Keep the bottle warm in my car during appointment until application. Just have to sauna the car on the way to the client 😂
