I have logged about 20 hours on my friends DWP849X, it's an excellent machine, but I still prefer my old, worn in Makita 9227c. I do a massive amount of work via rotary and for me, my old Makita is the bomb. It's personal preference.

Griots ROP with 3" backing plate and pads worked great on this Harley I did. I say go for it.

Yup, It seems the every time I see a disgusting, nasty, foul interior from one of these "soccer mom" cars (minivans), and think to myself it could get no worse, the next week i will get one way more disgusting :( It seems there is no limit to how nasty some people can get their cars.

Both my cars have coated/protected leather so I use Leathermasters protection cream after cleaning them. Same stuff I use on most of my customers cars that have protected leather.

Like stated above, LA's totally awesome works great. I use Zep Industrial Purple Degreaser, it's some gnarly stuff and smells quite a bit harsher than zep 505, but for really nasty tires, it's worth it.

My hard earned money will never be wasted on a HOA, its just simply code enforcement in a town where the median house prices are ridiculous and everyone wants to protect their property values. Your free to have all the hobbies you want here, as long as they don't break code/rules. I used to...

Oh yes they can, will and have where I live.

Depends on the city/county I think. At 1-3 cars a week, I think you "should" be OK, but where I live, if you were doing cars every day, it would be a problem.....and any water runoff down the driveway, into the street, or storm-drain, that would most certainly be problematic (where I live).

That is the same extractor I have and love it also. IMO, there is no beating hot water carpet extraction on carpet, and there is no way a shop vac will ever replicate the results a hot water carpet extractor can produce. For any professional auto detailing shop, an extractor is must.

IMO, absolutely yes. I went the whole shop vac route when I first started out a long, long time ago. It took me 6 months in before I got my extractor and I've been using the same one for the past 6 years. It's an essential tool in my detailing arsenal and I wouldn't be without...

I get my fair share of cars that need the smoke odor removed. Usually the process is full interior detail, shampoo, extract all carpets upholstery etc. and clean everything with special attention to the headliner like stated above, let the carpets dry and shock treat the car with ozone. Also...

Paint correction, paint reconditioning, you can pretty much call it whatever you want. Removing defects and making paint look basically new in 1.5 hours on a car that's got heavy defects.....I think you'd need more than just luck and skill. But then again, everyone has their own idea of what...

I take checks and a huge portion of my clients pay via check. Never had one bounce in 8 years.

Very nice work on that boat. I've done quite a few boats and dang, it's a lot of work!! M67 with the Rupes really did a fantastic job. Now what we need in Cali is some rain for all these boats.

Well your lucky, most the cars I get in my shop are trashed, and if that car gave you nightmares, the nasty, dirty, disgusting cars that come in to my shop would probably give you a heart attack. Nice job on that interior though :xyxthumbs:, I bet your customer was thrilled.

Rust holes, dull, scratched, interior trashed, but not one door ding :D Maybe they are just really good at parking really bad :xyxthumbs:

Wow, $13 for one of those on amazon, my local Dollar Tree carries these, for well $1 of course. I bought one and broke it the first day.

That is one great looking Honda Shadow. I was "trying" help one of my friends clean up a rusty POS used Shadow he bought, and one things for sure, it will never look as good as yours Bob.

Ha, well he's using a stock photo of a guy using Sonus, and I'm sure that's all the Sonus this guy has ever used. :xyxthumbs:

That Porsche has some crazy gloss, excellent job on the detail.
