    What % on this forum are Prof detailers?

    A professional is one who earns his living doing that. I would doubt 10% earn a living doing this work, I do think there is a lot of hobbyist here. It would be a hard way to make a buck full time, and the ones working would not spend time on the board. Most business are bicycle business, you...

    Cost to install outdoor water faucet?

    Gator bites eliminate the need for sweating, they make a T and you just push it on, and it digs in...even the water does not need to be out of the pipe...they are about $12 for each T, but cheaper than a plumber, who just stick bread down the pipe and sweats it. Lowe's has tons of different...

    Novice

    Being retired, you should take a run down to FL to the Detail Show in March and talk them into doing a demo on your vehicle. I am 70 so I also tape off a small area and take my time...if I get in a rush I'll hire someone and appreciate the work they have done... I can see the buffer burning...

    Electronic Paint Thickness Gauge

    Really only needed when you are wet sanding..but here goes.. Using a paint thickness gauge gives a professional detailer credibility and also acts as an insurance against ‘break-though’ of a clear coat, which would entail a re-paint and I suspect a very irate customer. Original paint has a...
