A. The product is actually very good. Purchased in 55 gallon drums, it only costs the operator a few pennies per wash, so it would be silly for the operator to skimp.
Even when marked up a buck or two, it is still an excellent value to the customer.

Very good product, very good profit margins.
That is interesting. I would have assumed the opposite.

But is it really worth putting wax on paint that needs paint correction at some level before the wax goes on? Either clay bar or fine cut cleaner and polish?
