What about Rupes Bigfoot Polisher? Anything I can use as a scrubber?

I figured there would be different towels for: -Rims/Engine -Windows - to clean with the window cleaning spray/product -Windows - to 'buff' -Paint drying (i.e. the Guzzler to pick up whats left after I leaf-blow the car) -Wiping off compound/polish -Wiping off wax

Only be running it 8 days out of the month man. Saturday/Sundays. Fair enough man I understand what you're saying. I understand bud. Good thing I'm not opening up until July and I've got 10 'practice' cars lined up ahead of me I'll be doing for free. Doing as much research as I possible can...

What are you referring to when you say that HD Speed had 'dusting'? What is 'dust' in the detailing language?

Which do you use for what process and why? Links to purchase would be nice too. Article... http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/pinnacle-wax/28651-how-machine-apply-wax-using-da-polisher.html Cobra Indigo Cloths Cobra Indigo Microfiber Polishing Cloths 12 Pack In this article I saw Mike P...

Fair enough bud. Will look into raising them accordingly & re-arranging my packages/add-ons. Yes I've detailed my car and about 4 of my family's cars. Not to this extent though so yes I can see how I've misjudged the time-frames. I'll get a better graph throughout my practice cars. Yes I am...

'Good' detail as in the premium package? I assume it would take very long. I've got some practice cars lined up... '93 Nissan 240SX Convertible (Premium Detail) '94 Nissan 240SX Convertible (Premium Detail) '10 Honda CR-V (Basic Detail) '03 Chevy Cavalier (Basic Detail) '10 Honda Accord...

Benefits of coating vs sealant+wax? Haven't researched much into it. I was under the impression that you had to let the coating 'sit' for 24 hours or something along those lines?

Also, I have created my business card... I'm just having trouble between which 'back side' I want to use. Front Back Side #1 (No Dark-Blue Top&Bottoms) -Note the text and everything else in the card (even the front) are in the most basic, simple color 'BLUE' there is. In side #2 the top &...

Basic: 1.5-2.5hours Premium: 3-6hours. Not concerned about how much I make an hour honestly. I have a good job Mon-Fri and only doing this on Saturday/Sundays as a hobby because I enjoy doing it... just going to charge a bit because it's only fair lol Engine Bay Add On - I agree. Rims - Wax...

That's what I'm saying man. How come people compound before they polish?

I'm thinking about having two packages. -One would be a maintenance/production/basic package for essentially a daily driver. Would be for customers just looking for that 'shine' that simply clay barring can offer (lol). The clean interior, nice looking engine bay and the wheels/rims all shined...

Compounding and polishing are about the same thing. Only difference is the aggressiveness, correct? Compounding and polishing BOTH cut into the paint, but compounding essentially cuts deeper. Shouldn't one polish FIRST as a 'first attempt' to try and get a light scratch out, remove some...

Fair enough. Will probably just have everything except the generator and expect to use the customer's electric.

Maintenance details which will take 1.5-3 hours or Premium/'Showroom' details which will take 4-6 hours. Could do 3 maintenance details in a day... perhaps 4 if I'm willing. Could only do 2 'premium' details in a day. Yes it would be nice to find a quiet generator. If you or anyone else...

That's what I meant and was looking for lol. Something to give me some water pressure instead of the water just spraying out of the nozzle at it's normal speed... Sorry long day haha.

Alright then so I've decided I'll be using a cargo van as opposed to a small truck. -55gallon water tank to hold water that I fill up from my house's spicket -some sort of air pressurizer for my hose so I can have water pressure... -generator (to run the water pressurizer) Apparently no need...

What's the difference between Meg's gold class and their professional soap?

...buy in decent size to begin my detailing business. -Car wash soap --Meg's GOLD Class soap has been used on my car for awhile and I really like it. I've never used any other soap so I don't have anything to compare it to. Am I missing out on not using a different(better?) soap or should I...
