detailing Routines

[Anthony O.]

Almost always start off with a hand wash, wheels, wheel wells and tires. This gets thsi area out of the way as I always believe that 40% of your detail is in the washing stage.

I then move on to the interior as said earlier, it gives the carpets and mats time to dry properly before handing over the keys to the client. It also seems that doing the interior first makes the total time of the car seem to go faster but this may just be me

Well, I did that Beemer as stated above yesterday, and did start off with the interior. I like doing that much better. For one, it does seem as the time goes by faster, and frankly, sometimes these cars are just a mess, inside and out, and because I like being a paint rejuvination specialist, coming to a whirlwind of an interior just bums me out at times.

hi all, well what i do,
i do the interior first..(work my way from inside all the way to outside), then wash rims and tires , and then wash the exterior, and final rinse, and if need wax..then i wax away to my hearts content

In the summer, I start with the interior first because the nooks and crannies try faster. In the winter, I wash and clay first and do the interior while the car is drying further. Also, I`m sweaty in the summer after washing/claying and don`t want to reenter the interior. I don`t work up much of a sweat in the winter. Now that I`m using the Wolfgang Sealant, I go and drink beer untill it is ready to buff off.

I follow what you are doing, its makes more sence to get the inside done, os that your rugs can get a good dry. I use the floor heater in teh car at times of its cold outside.
Then attack the outside, this way of there is any over spray from cleaning teh inside I take care of that then.
