so (and this is a geniuine Q from a newbie), if you get an absolute minger that no doubt needs this treatment, could you confirm to the client that you can have a go with the said process but if the finish is removed you will have to charge extra for the finish application?
how do you go about it with the micro fibre mike?
or do you know when it is safe to use and not to, and therefore tell the custy its a clean (all be it a harsh one) or its a resto?

Derek I think it's a personal thing, if you think yu need to say something you do but if you think the top coat may go anyway you would offer them a 2 tiered price clean only but open to the elements or clean and re seal although I haven't come across it.

PS I'm surprised that knowone has made a finish that can just be trigger sprayed on and left to soak in and lay flat like some concretes and other finished just so you don't need the compressor.

Derek
A careful pre inspection will identify the problems before you start and then you can qualify with the customer what can and cannot be achieved and what price will be involved.
This is something that is a crucial part of our training - learning what is possible and what is not.

Not wanting to steal Judy's thunder but this should be done for all of our work but you need to be trained and also you can't buy experience that only comes when you have either got something right and worked out why or totally got it wrong and worked out why.

Derek I was thinking of the easy and cheapness of the application have you seen the cost of the cans compared to buying it in a 5L?

I though that you could have a high quality spray and spray it on like the protector from LTT hair dry it (Derek you'll have to get yours out of the loft) and then apply next coat, no messing with compressors.

Just to clarify Paul does'nt actually charge for his training. I was referring to the boot camp in May.

And whilst I am tempted, I won't get into the sponges issue, I think we are all big enough to make our own minds up once we are in an informed position to do so.
