My buddy works for a car shop (accessories/remote starts/audio/video) that also has a PDR guy. Lots of money to be made... especially if you've got ties with a dealership, and get a hailstorm. I believe he netted $80K one summer (june-sept) on PDR alone.

Patio furniture, concrete cleaning (although, not sure how well an electric would work), vinyl siding, awnings, fences (PVC or wood), cleaning gutters?, exterior house windows (be careful). I've also used mine to clean off old grills... I dont use it on my new one, because I love it too much...

Never thought of using a rental to "practice". Awesome idea though!

I've been using Blue/Black CCS pads on my PC 7424XP at speed 3-4.... works well for me. I use meg's gold paste wax sometimes, and just use the applicator that comes with it.

Thanks, guys!

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but I was just curious if anyone has any experience with the cheapo $35 paint thickness gauges on ebay. I have no plans on doing professional detailing, but I am getting it more for when i help out friends/family with their cars. Is it...

In his defense... i have a TC, and the paint everywhere (especially the bumper) is AWFUL... gets scratched down to primer by practically anything!

I've been to three targets and havent found any of the EcoTouch products. During a visit to menards tonight, I found some "decent", not Incredibly Cheap Deals on some mainstream car care products. They are a bit cheaper than Amazon and other sites: Meg's Ultimate Compound: $7.00 Meg's Gold...

Not sure when I'll be doing it... but pictures will definitely be taken!

Thanks, guys. Hopefully I can get it done decently. I haven't started charging anyone yet, as I am still very new to detailing. I look at these friends vehicles as a chance to practice. Hopefully I'll be confident enough to start charging soon. :)

Just wanted to share something that happened last week. One of my friends realized that I've been getting into quality car care and detailing lately, and asked if I could help her get some scratches out of her trunk lid. I said that I could try, but it depends on how deep they are. I asked if...

Roger - Thanks for the recommendation. I'm still pretty new to this world, and haven't seen 476 mentioned before. I'll definitely look into it!

Thanks, guys. Ive noticed that I can apply DG in directsunlight on a hot car with no problems. In all honesty my cars dont get much love in the winter, due to the lack of heated space, and the cold chicago winters. Winter performance is not a big deal for me. In the summer, I maintain them as...

Ive had my bottle at home for over a month... i really gotta try it out. Stuff looks amazing.

Just looking to see what the opinions are on these. It seems like they're close to the same price. Just looking to use on DD kinda cars. Ive used 951 on a couple cars, and was impressed, but have not yet tried D156... and a gallon is a lot to buy :)

Used these ones before on a Rupes, pretty amazing... Especially since I only own a PC. I've been craving a rupes, and combined with these pads, it would be great

Awesome job!

Had the same problem with my wheel brush... i just used simple green to get rid of the grease, then rinsed with apc and water. Mine doesnt sound like it was as bad as yours though. If you think its trashed anyway, maybe some brake cleaner would strip the grease?

Anyone looking for a durable (but really heavy) all rubber hose? $39 for 100' if youre a member of the craftsman club Craftsman 5/8 in. x 100 ft. All Rubber Hose - Lawn & Garden - Watering, Hoses & Sprinklers - Garden Hoses

same question I have, although I'm sure those brushes are still awful from brake dust and such.
