No, I get it. What kind of cheddar are you talking about for these low-flow machines, and what sort of psi? Do you use the normal wand that comes with it, or are there tips designed for this particular application?

Define low GPM for me. I'm not sure what you guys are used to using. For the applications I'm familiar with, anything less than 8GPM is low...but seems like it might be a bit excessive for cars. Help me understand. If you're ok with taking something back once a year and replacing it, then so...

Gentlemen, you have piqued my interest. Please discuss the forced rotation of a DA, and pros/cons associated with it.

Your first problem is buying PW's from places like Costco. That's like buying a DA from Advance. It's not designed for more than occasional use.

Thank you.

Someone explain the concept of a rinseless/waterless wash to me, please.

Thanks, guys. When I say "comfortable", I use rotaries all day long...but it's on floors. BIG ones. No, I realize that one must practice with these things, and I intend to. I'm just trying to wrap my head around strengths and weaknesses...I'm a big believer in understanding your equipment...

You guys need to install "Like", "Dislike", "Agree", and "Ohmigod, that was hilarious!" buttons so that people can rate posts. :)

General impression I'm getting is the DA is more user friendly, and less chance of screwing something up. Rotary you can burn through the paint, but as long as you're comfortable with it, it will do the same area quicker than a DA. Is this correct?

I'm not trying to knock you, c2a...from a cleaning standpoint, gasoline is an excellent solvent. There's a couple minor problems with that, though. First, your body doesn't react well to its presence, in general. Second is the flammability aspect. You're dealing with someone's car. That...

^^Is this guy for serious!?

Jon-Don is a good distributor for a lot of stuff carpet cleaning, but I'm going to be straight up and hope Bill Yeadon doesn't get mad at me for it...:) You can get better encap products at Excellent Supply. They're located in Florida, so you'll have to have it shipped, but I think once you go...

To this point, I've used Meguiars on my vehicles. Now that I'm thinking about doing this in a professional capacity, I find that it's just like Carpet Cleaning. I've got a distributor I use that is on the national level, and their products are top notch and not available to the normal...

Follow up question: He differentiates between clear coat and gel-coat. Someone talk to me on a technical level about what's going on with a gel-coat?

SERIOUSLY!? You're my bloody freaking hero. Thanks a lot.

Anyone detail boats, and willing to share what goes into it? I've got two lakes nearby, and thinking of pushing in that direction.

Nice. Yeah, I've used HWE and I've used encap. They both have situations they work, and work well in. I tend to prefer to use HWE because I can blitz a freaking carpet and not feel bad about charging what I do that way. Nice to meet you, and thanks to both of you for the input.

I'm a floor guy looking at adding detailing as a service. Saw a video where he sprayed some really foamy stuff onto a floormat, worked it in with a brush, and then wiped with a twisting motion using a MF towel. Is this a normal, accepted method of cleaning it? Can someone talk to me about the...

Hullo, fellas. I'm Joseph. I clean stuff. Carpet, upholstery, tile and grout right now...pressure washing, wood floors and rugs are in the future as my business grows. I'm two years into this, and have been watching some videos online from AMMONYC. I'm pretty sure that with the expertise...
