0 Chewy Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Those are two things that Adams doesn't make so if they don't have them in stock they take a bit longer to ship... WELL worth the wait IMO. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 GerryC Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Those two items are third-party items (adam's does not manufacture them) and will ship separately from wherever they are sold. Same goes for the bucket caddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 GerryC Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I think he means he can't do it without the PC, since he hasn't received it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Baron_Von_Awesome Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 If you're detailing the car for friends, I'm sure they'll be understanding about the delay. If you're detailing for customers that you've solicited, however.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I think he means he can't do it without the PC, since he hasn't received it yet There isn't any reason why a person can't detail a car without a PC unless they're disabled. Or lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Superdutytd Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 There isn't any reason why a person can't detail a car without a PC unless they're disabled. Or lazy. Or want good results in less than 4 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Aw come on. I'm the "hand guy". I do it by hand. I tried the pc, but prefer the results I get by hand. Yeah, it takes me two days, one if I don't take breaks (but I'm in my 60's, so I take breaks). There really isn't any reason why anyone can't get the same or better results by hand as they can with the pc. It doesn't really take any longer either. Unless you're detailing a motorhome!! Some do it one way, others do it another way. As long as we all get good results, it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it would be hard to get a car that had serious swirls done in a semi quick time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Chewy Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 OMG I'd kill myself if I had to do this by hand... WAIT... No I wouldn't... It'd just look like crap all the time... PC's ROCK and I see no downfall to using them other than they allow me to have a little bit of a life away from detailing my car... lol Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Team Adam's Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 is this your first go around with the PC?? if so its awfully bold of you to be offering details to people before you've logged any hours with it... not saying you're gonna mess anything up, but I know I certainly wouldn't want to be learning on someone elses car.

0 Chewy Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I agree with Dylan... I'm just beginning to figure out pressure and time and all that with this thing. Brian and AJ. For years I have done this by hand but like I am saying... I have other better things to be doing than spending endless hours detailing my car. It's my DD so in no way will it ever be perfect and I have the rock chips to prove it... lol Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is your first time, your 1st time results are not going to be good enough to be charging anyone. It is not all that hard to do but it does take practice. A lot of folks are fooled by how easy I make it look in my videos. I am still learning and I've been doing this for 2 years. I agree with Dylan...

0 Toms94 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'm learning, as a matter of fact it sometimes feels like I've not learned anything. The more I work on them the more I find out I don't know. Patience is darn sure a virtue, one that I am learning...probably more than the detailing lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
