    Basic setup for $1000?

    Just wanted to say there is a lot of great no-nonsense advice in this thread and is going to help me tremendously on what to do should I pull the trigger on detailing for extra income.

    New logo...thoughts?

    Looks really slick. Classy, simple, easy to print because it's only two colors... Good stuff.

    Lowes ONR grout sponge...

    So, I've tried the sponge a few times and so far I'm not really digging it. Catching and releasing dirt works great but it is taking me quite a bit longer to get a vehicle as clean as with a mitt. For instance, cleaning the rubber around a window or windshield takes me one pass with a mitt to...

    Supplemental income in addition to detailing?

    I used to do carpet cleaning professionally and that little machine will flat out not handle home carpet cleaning unless you are doing one or two light spot cleans.

    I'm starting to see the value of wheel and tire cleaners

    In the past just used general degreasers because I thought all wheel and tire cleaners where like Armor All products, which I hate, but recently tried Mothers and I, now too, see the benefits of a quality dedicated cleaner. Just like the OP I used half a bottle on the first vehicle, but...

    G110v2...2 for 2

    Where you using an extension cord with it? If you don't have a proper gauge extension cord it can cause failure with things like the power switch of the polisher or connections (wiring) leading up to the switch. Just a thought because I learned my lesson after melting the power switch of a...
