Doesn't have to be too expensive. I found a used Therma Kleen 1000 (1000 psi, turns to REAL steam) for $350. There is a marked difference between a hot water pressure washer and a true steam capable unit. For tar, engines, even compound removal, I really like the steam capability. I even...

Just in case it needs to be a unique entry, I'll post my close second choice. A Linenfelter bodied C5 Vette:

Saleen S7 Twin Turbo: And yes, I'd gladly review the new MB! edit: Doh! Didn't see pinpoint posted the same car. Well, I'll stick with it and commend him for his good taste!

Boy how I wish I lived in Florida...

^^I agree, love it!

Congrats, RPM!

My customer's '59 T-Bird receiving a full cut and buff:

Wow! Awesome find!

The "Polish Radar Detector" works well for me. I normally cruise at about 5 over until the guy doing 20 over passes me, at which time I up my speed to his and keep a couple hundred feet back in the right lane. It's saved me a number of times from tickets by seeing them slam on their brakes at...

It was 100 degrees in the garage I was sanding a car in last week (about 1.5 hours from Vegas). Shade is a must, but of primary importance is your hydration. A gallon plus in 8 hours in those conditions still barely cuts it when its 110-115 outside and your garage is humid from the sanding...

I'm sorry, but I just don't buy it even though I agree with your overall view. While $20-25k/month isn't a shabby income, it doesn't support 5 homes in 5 states (especially if married), unless a trailer on land constitutes a home. Are you using the Belize property to produce an income?:Picture:

You know what they say about opinions... Do you keep your trailer parked inside or outside? Is your address listed on your website? You are right to be concerned--a trailer is easy to break into, but a small storage garage can be rented pretty inexpensively and give you lots of protection.

Valspar 173 slow reducer. Works wonders where thinners won't, like on urethanes.

Look up "Rupes washer mod". There are a few threads floating around about it. It (combined with some technique practice) is supposed to really help keep the Rupes spinning.

I just read that again and realize it might have come across as terse. That was not my intent, but I am wondering what your technique is so we can help. Are you sanding by hand or machine? How much sanding experience do you have? Are you getting a nice, even pattern without tracers? Any...

Adapt can remove 2000 sanding marks (though not the most efficient) while using a DA and you're not able to with Cut on a rotary? I think something's off in the technique... To more directly answer the question though, given the body shop environment and for a price point similar to Cut, I'd go...

You also need to convince the parade organizers not to put you after any of the horses :)

Re: 1998 Isuzu Rodeo Extreme Makeover! - Factory Single Stage Paint Looks awesome as per usual! That would explain the $1000 worth of detail work on a $1000 car;)

If you have a steamer, they are great at cleaning compound from rock chips.
