CHAPTER 103: ESSENTIAL CAR DETAILING TOOLS
Pareto’s Law: Explains, that for many events, 80% of the results come from 20% of the actions. For example, 80% of your sales come from 20% of your clients, but for us as detailer, I say 80% of the cleaning comes from just 20% of the tools.
THESE ARE THE BARE ESSENTIALS! If you have or want more tools, then I encourage you to use them if it helps your detailing, or simply makes you happy.
