So I'm in the market for a steam cleaner and I have the ability to spend up to $2000 if I really want to BUT I am a super cheapskate and would definitely settle for a $700 one IF it was worth it. From my research I'm deciding between the Dupray Tosca($995) and the Hill Super Inox($1800). I know...

Sorry but I'm gonna have to play devil's advocate here. I recently tried OPC at different dilutions and it did nothing better than my drastically cheaper APC+. Every surface that OPC could clean well, my APC+ could clean just as well at a much weaker dilution for much cheaper. Maybe I just...

I'm in no way a successful detailer in my eyes but 2011 was my first true tax year and a HUGE learning experience. Best advice I can give is to: 1. Register your business on Google, advertise on Craigslist and maybe try some other free listing sites. 2. Keep all your sales and expenses neatly...

You can get it from the Android Market or Iphone App Store. Once you download the app you have to go to their website to fill out your info so they can send you the free card reader or at least that's how I did it several months ago. Oh and last time I was at Best Buy I noticed they were selling...

I do detail work for a dealership and they have the water based dressing there. It works ok on interiors but it was absolutely horrible for exterior use. I tried it fs on tires and it streaked and absorbed into the tire very uneven like. I used it on trim/wheel wells and it looked good for about...

I'd highly recommend Optimum Polish II for what your describing you need. That's what I use for all of my 2 step paint buffing(Polish then seal). It has amazing work time and removes moderate swirls and other paint defects. Its technically a Polish and not a paint cleaner though which I prefer...

Got any more info on this??

I too was only working with a LGM so when I was looking to buy an extractor I almost bought the Aztec but after posting this thread(http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/45003-aztec-hot-rod-durrmaid-super-1600-a.html) Kristopher1129 basically talked me into buying the Mytee...

Thanks for all the feedback guys! I can somewhat understand why some of you may think offering other services besides detailing may not look good but the way I think of it is that us detailer's should be the most knowledgeable people when it comes to polishing/restoring just about any surface...

Yeah I definitely know its not a service in high demand but I just wanna offer something totally different than other detailers. It's not about the money for me. Anyone know of any other odd ball services one could offer using detailing products?

So I was watching Animal Planet the other day and saw a show called Tanked. It's a show about some guys that make some of the best acrylic fish tanks in America. I noticed after they finish installing the tank they go over it with a buffer and some kind of polish. I of course immediately think...

I got pretty lucky with my website after reading some of these posts. A friend of mine who does a good bit of photography for me offered to do my website for me when I was just thinking about starting my business. He said the hosting was only $20 a year since he already had a website through...

You can waste money trying other "dressings" but you really have already found one the overall best detailing products out there in 303 AP. If you wanna try something different that will surpass 303 you need step up to a trim sealant like Ultima Tire and Trim Guard. This product will amaze you...

Yeah this site has helped me a lot with so much. Hell I just made a $800 decision off of one page of posts but mainly yours since you have both machines. I'll let ya know if I end up wanting to do that trade but I dont think you'll be hearing from me haha. Thanks again! I hope your right! I'll...

Well I just bought the Mytee 8070 and can't freaking wait to try this thing out!! Hopefully its a night and day difference from my Bissel LGM haha. AG DID price match it for me with the shipping included that the other site was going to charge me so it was about $695 total which is a lot better...

I can't believe my mind was changed so quick lol but if anyone would know which is better it would be you with the machines. I found a website that has the Mytee 8070 for 649.00 which is a lot better than AG's 799.00. I'll still buy through AG though if they'll match it since I love to support...

Thanks for the input. After reading your and Kristopher's post I'm reconsidering the Mytee. But yeah I'm in no way close to getting a big machine like yours until I get a bigger shop. Thanks again.

Yeah I did look into the Mytee 8070 but the water lift was only 85" compared to the 102" of the Aztec or Durrmaid so I was turned off to it immediately. I don't know too much about hot water extractors but water lift seems like it would be the most important part of the extraction process aside...

I'm about to buy a hot water extractor this week and I'm pretty torn between the Aztec and the Durrmaid Super 1600. My budget is around $700 and these two machines seem to be the most bang for the buck in my opinion. I've heard horror stories about the Durrmaid's but from what I saw all the bad...

My guess is some people don't want some AG staff to know that they go to these other sites to get products even though AG wont allow it here anyway. Just my theory.
