The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) IV

GaleForce

Oh you're absolutely right.

I'm talking from a "time is money" (business) perspective.

RO is definitely a tool i use to save time. i use 6" and 3" RO's when using any polishes or doing wax/sealant application.

i dont have time (nor the elbow) to be doing everything by hand for sure.

I should get one of those although, I feel very accomplished after a thorough exterior wash, clay and hand wax

i use to do everything by hand, but i found out how fast i can accomplish using RO's, i haven't looked back.

and if using polishes and polymers, i dont even wash the pads these days. i just use it once, toss it in the trash. saves more time.

GaleForce

It really depends on the condition of you paint and the level of correction you want to achieve. Products and machines can have a serious affect on time used/saved. With the new Rupes Bigfoot 21, I can correct paint in almost half the time it used to take. That time savings = more cha-ching in my pocket and less time the customer is without a vehicle, all while achieving the same end results.

I'm not looking for paint correction right now. The paint is fine except for tons of rock chips, and I'm not touching those. I figure if I keep up with the wash and wax, I won't have to worry about paint correction too much. I've got a couple of scratches I'm going to work at again by hand when new pads arrive, but I will definitely borrow my friend's orbital if necessary (another reason I haven't bought my own - he's down the street from me).
