I may not agree with all of his methods, but hats off to him for keeping his clients happy .. None of mine have ever flown me somewhere to work on their car ..

(I need better clients)

yup, like someone else said... high $ clients want high $ treatment. why do some girls buy their makeup at the channell counter, and some buy it at k-mart... none of us guys can tell the difference, so they only do it to feel better about themselves and/or to brag to their friends.

Ok, from what I understand, waxing with your hand is the best way to lay wax. Reason I say this is because most of the concouse/Pebble Beach type cars are done this way, and the carnauba they use it 100%. Its really expensive stuff, because its the real thing. It probably smells much different than the wax most use, becuase its not fregranced by something like most of the wax's you buy today are. The wax he's using with his hand is Zymol Estate Vintage Glaze. Its about 1800 bucks, that's unlimited fill.
