Thanks guys I was amazed myself at the difference. This was a "customers" car. I was nervous using a different product but boy am I glad I did was a little annoyed though after I bought the complete 3 step machine kit and like three weeks later they releases the "new and improved" 2-step polish kit oh well haha- 8 replies

You are nuts if you only charge 150 for interior and I'm assuming machine polish? Minimum I would charge is $300. Edit: you are machine polishing. Your crazy for only charging 150. I am doing a correction on a black 2009 VW Rabbit the 29th of June he had it done once for 700. I am charging 300 he's was ecstatic. I understand stand people don't wanna pay but you are robbing yourself at that point -

I understand this completely. But I make sure when I do a job to tell them straight out I am no professional. I do it as a hobby to make extra $$$ -

I'm in the same boat as you I have people coming out of the wood work want to get their car detailed/waxed/corrected. Not really complaining cause with a baby on the way the extra $$ is welcomed. But I don't have a garage so I have to drive 1/2 hour to use my parents. -

Thanks for the welcome! Just got back from a mobile detail on a co-workers car

Wow, I don't understand how someone can let their car get to that point. Maybe it's just me idk. I have to wash my car 1 a week at least.

Hello!!!! My names Matt I live in Albany,NY I just placed my first order with Adams. I purchased the complete machine polish kit with the PC 7424XP. I am not new to detailing but I am new to Adams products. Right now I am detailing on the side to make some extra money this summer before my daughter gets here. I have a paint correction coming up on the 18th that I am going to use the PC on. If anyone has any tips or suggestions when using the PC let me know. I currently also own a Makita rotary, Dewalt rotary and a Cheapy Craftsman polisher. Look forward to using Adams products!
