Yea I totally forgot that was one of the key selling points when I picked the mighty force. The tips/ fittings all the way around are the same as the expensive units. The gun is also the same quality you'd find on a more expensive unit. If you go with anything else you have to buy replacement...

Yea, I'm making that transition as we speak. I'm staying on board part time, really trying to stick out the semester (because I'm still in school for business) and get through the colder months with a pay check before I can really go full swing. That gives me enough time to get my ducks in a row.

Yea I might take a chance on a white car, but I'd expect to polish just about anything else just as a precaution.

I like these little transit connect cargo vans I see running around. You sound like you might be working on bigger vehicles than I though, so you might need a big van/ enclosed trailer and a bigger truck. I'm setting up my mobile unit right now which is a reg cab/ 6.5' bed pick up. Planning on...

damm now I have to go back. I don't have a single good leather product in my bag of tricks right now. Did you also try it on plastics or just leather?

How do you like that leather conditioner? I was afraid to buy it.

Bought the last 2 clay bar kits at mine. That was a score! 2 (small) clay bars, a bottle of quick detailer (thats $4 each) and a large microfiber for $9.00. I also got some of the tire gel "wax". I picked up some megs water spot remover for $6.00 It seems like the same consistency as other glass...

I had management SEEK ME OUT for advancement, and actually create a totally new title/ opportunity that didn't exist prior. I changed my school/career goals to fit more in line with there schedule only for the "higher ups" to come in and make changes to fit in someone new because his father was...

I work for a big corporate automall, and I started the job with hops of learning the business so I could the very same thing. My detailing business is barley in infancy at this point but I already see it aspiring to a used car dealership in the future. What we as detailers do is add value to...

I just got the same pressure washer (only mighty force) I was surprised that the hose / cord reel works as well as it does. Good machine but the hose could stand to be another 5-10 feet longer. I got it for $150 on sale and you can't beat it. Even comes with a quick connect for your garden hose...

Phosphoric acid / laquer thinner.

Forced rotation DA? Mystery foam pads? This will bug me for days.

Me being the innovative type I decided to make my own tank. I have readily available plastic 55 gallon drums at my disposal. (and I'm also pretty dam cheap) I figured why spend $150+ When I can rig up one of these for the time being. I got a northstar 3.0GPH on-demand pump ($90) I used this pump...

The problem is he can't effectively go backwards. This guy is not going to want to go from 25% to $25 an hour. (or $1500/ 60 hour work week) OP instead (only my opinion) you should find someone who will work hourly for $18-20, and knows what they are doing, or is at least trainable. It sounds...

I'm not sure if makita makes a unit that does not have the soft start feature but make sure the one you pick up has it.

I'm really curious now. I read through all of the posts to make sure that you didn't answer my looming questions only to find out that you were purposely omitting the details that I'm seeking. I'm assuming now, and this is purely assumption, that you used some type of MF pad on a DA. (forced...

lol.

Pretty easy to check. If you think he's significantly diluting the product then buy a new bottle, and then get 1 refilled, hold the contents next to eachother in completely clear glasses and swish it around. Is the color lighter? Is the consistency the same? You can also weigh them both on a...

yea so long as it actually matches and looks decent it's a no brainer for dealerships and retail customers to pull the trigger at $50 a car. The guy I've seen at a dealership I used to work at would go around the car with some 1 step polishing product on a rotary, and go back around and touch up...

I'm just wondering if anyone on this forum is doing this as an add on to their business. I'm considering offering this and I'm just looking for the best systems out there, or if it's best to just acquire as many enamel color pens as possible as you go. If you see it as a waste of time let me...
