I talk directly to the service team that will touch my car or truck and let them know my concerns, washing, hands on the paint, etc.. No guarantee, but I like to build bridges.

My suggestion is to start offering some of these new services and then start weighing the pros and cons of...how much time to complete tasks? how much space is needed to park the vehicle for that duration? cost and profit margin? and so on.

Ok. That is your point of view for "high end detailers" I guess, but like I said in my original post from my experience at hot rod shops and for show cars... the final product needs to be wet sanded to get the highest gloss. This is what I have seen by most body shops that do show cars. I think...

Ok??? Not sure why you replied to my quote??? I was making a statement about the original start of the thread...which was about dry sanding or wet sanding....did you read the start of the thread? what was your point you were trying to make?

welcome.

Thanks. I just got an email from Dewalt as a follow up. They said that there is no need to lube the unit. They put that blurb about lubing in all of their manuals and it is a general statement that is not directed at the DW 894. Im the MAN

I too was looking into steaming. Anyone have any experience with it and what machine to use?

I was reading my DW 849 polisher's manual again and it recommended taking the unit to a service provider for lubrication every couple of months. I could not find anywhere instructions as to how to lubricate the unit. I would prefer to not pay a service man to lubricate the unit. I should be able...

Who makes brake clean or is that the company?

thank you. when I was doing a search I was only pulling up one 1Z product.

ok, this may see like an obvious question-answer but sometimes hearing it from others is a good thing right? On the sides of my APC+ bottles there are two marks one says 10:1 and the other mark says 4:1. What I have been doing is filling the water level up to the designated mark and then...
