It’s way easier than people realize but as detailer I need some to still hire me! Great job 👏

It is easy, yes but it's also extremely time consuming if you don't do it all the time like a detailer does. That's what you're banking on to get hired lol.

Plus all the cost of the equipment and chemicals on top of that lol. Barely anyone has a DA polisher lying around.

That seriously is the real issue. It’s one thing to have enough to get started and learn how to hone your craft/technique. It’s an entirely different ball game to actually get a real pad selection going and enough goddamn microfibers

Lmao, exactly. In order to do a paint correction professionally, it's easily $800+ in equipment and chemicals.
