    How much to charge

    I started at 14... It's been great to me all throughout high school (17 now btw). Congrats on starting your own gig! The $30-40 hourly rate seems pretty common on this forum.. To me, if I can earn $20-25/hr, I am content. I recommend you charging similar rates, but please do what you are...

    Pressure washer

    It will cut your work time and make your life easier... IMO, invest in a good one, otherwise it is useless. Expect to spend between $350-500. Good luck!

    My first boat detail. It's a doosie!

    Best 5.5" Pads to go on PC7424XP

In comparison to Meguiar's, the foam structures seem to collapse quickly and under little to no pressure. SO, the question...

    Detailing Vehicle / Personal Vehicle

    I recently bought a black 2003 Hummer H2, and I LOVE IT! They are a great choice, impress clients as somewhat of a specialty vehicle, and the gas isn't as bad as it would seem... However, the Element does sound like a great choice with its versatility. Good luck!!

    PC Continues to Give Trouble

    Hey Autogeek! Wondering if anyone else is having severe issues with their 7424XP? My spindle from the motor to the backing plate and counterweight had broke on my last one, so I ordered a new one and fixed the other. My new one=same issue. However, after being fixed, this one is extremely hard...
