Show notes

SCANGRIP has developed a complete concept of specialized work light solutions designed for the detailing and paint industry. The unique features of the work lights are also specifically designed for accurate color match.

The SCANGRIP DETAILING concept has embedded all possible needs for effective and specially designed work lights including suspension and stand solutions for both stationary and flexible positioning of the lights.

Our new range increases the quality and finish of each operation and reduces the rate of time-consuming and costly re-work. Due to the special LED features, the SCANGRIP DETAILING range is perfect for any paint, polish, cleaning or prep-zone operation.

The second generation Detailing lights features a new 2 COLOR LIGHT function. This provides you with the option to choose between 2 different color temperatures depending on the type of job to be carried out. Typically, the WARM LIGHT (4500K) is useful for bright surfaces, and COLD LIGHT (6500K) is ideal for dark colored surfaces.

260 - Detailing Myths For Detailers w/ Darren Priest Dec 05, 2016

Show notes

After being in the industry for almost a decade I have come to the realization that there are "to many to count" when it comes to myths about detailing.

A ton of my customers have apparently "owned auto detailing" businesses in the past and want to pass on their mis-information.

I welcome new tips and tricks all the time, especially when it comes from someone who has gone before me, but lately i've been getting tips that I just simply know are not right.

On the other hand, there is a lot of confusion with detailers just starting their business about what is the right way to do simple detailing, while remaining profitable.

The simplest of these being that you must work on high end cars only to make money.
