I work on cars too much and the callouses on my hands would leave the paint looking like somebody had waxed it with a screwdriver! Works for him though.

Honestly, aside from him using ultra-expensive products and the fact that he uses his (grubby, oily, dirty) hands to rub the wax on, his process is the same as mine. The depth gauge is a bit much...
Not a big fan of the power washer either.

the bare hand thing is just wrong .. no way to get even coverage with your bare hands.
my damn hands would be purple if I did that.
never been a fan of the pressure washer either .. occasionally I will use them on factory wheels, and sometimes wheel wells, but never on paint or the engine.

Wow. I'd never use my hands to apply wax of any sort to a vehicle. Just doesn't make sense, and even coverage doesnt seem possible. The depth gauge is a great tool especially when picking the right compound, though it is a bit much IMO. I'm not fond of the pressure washer, though he wasn't very close with it. I want to know whawt soap that was though, very very sudzie (sp?)...

I can't believe he washes the cars in direct sunlight! I go a step further when I have time and clean the inside of the wheels and suspension etc. I have not had time in awhile.

the pressure washer would be ok if its used at a distance, which it was, and I think thats where the "35*" temp comes from, the water shooting out at a distance is fairly colder.
The depth gauge was pretty high tech. I think the hands would be ok to use to apply the wax, but probably its just mostly to get the expensive done-by-hand to justify the high price
that guy must have some high endurance forearms!
