I'll clean & wax as many as she sends my way. If it brings in a few customers so be it. Not banking on this being a permanent deal. Hope it brings in some customers and allow me to build my skills to do a higher level detailing program. My idea is use this to get my name out there. Not making a...
Thanks Jon! I do a lot of side work with mechanical, modifications and body/paint so this just fills it in a little more. 4 kids to feed so more money is never a bad thing. But it may take over.
Thanks for the product recommendations! Right now we are using 95% Megs products. I knew from the...
Been talking with my brother in law for the last few months. We both could use some extra money to make ends meet. Many ideas have been bounced back and forth. I recently painted a hood for a customer (side work) and was the first use of a DA for the detailing side of it. Have been using a...
Excellent information, thank you!

I know there are far too many pad / fluid combos one can use (at least I would imagine). But using what I have currently can anyone suggest some starting combos I can work with.
I found this on MOL… which is kinda sorta what I am looking for if at all possible.

Aside from that I...

Hey, I am sure I speak for more than a few. Your articles are very well detailed, to the point, and even without pictures easily understood. Hard to accomplish especially when explaining technique. Just wish I was closer to be able to participate in one of your...
More excellent suggestions I had not thought of.
I would have gone GC but the local place I went to was out. Once I use up the DC I had planned on going with GC. Seems a clear winner in all of my research.
Thanks!!
I just purchased a Makita 9227 a few weeks ago ( and love it WAY more than my old air powered CP unit ) as well as have had a Porter Cable 7336 for years.
I have the W65 BP and w7000, 8000 and 9000 foam pads for the 9227. Also have a W5000 wool for it. I just ordered a backing plate ( Lake...
I want to be able to better detail my personal cars. I also perform most any auto body repair / paint refinishing task as a side income/hobby. I want to be best suited for most anything I come across. I feel I have a pretty good base but want your guidance on what I may be missing that you feel...
Now which one? Meguiars, LC, 3M or the Buff and Shine.....
What would one look for to determine the best option?
I will check those out. So far I was looking at the LC 5.5" pads. Wont need cutting as I will use the rotary for that. Just polishing and finishing I think...
