I'm planning on opening a detail business and am hoping some of the pro's on the forum would share some info. I realize that there will be those with comparatively small operations to those with large and well established businesses. I'm interested in hearing from any and all. I'm trying to...

One of the great things about this forum is that these posts get you thinking. I've never thought about using two small ladders as a scaffold! 'nuff said from me. That's the solution. Thanks to everyone.

I've looked at the Werner Platform, but it doesn't provide enough height. The ladder idea is worth considering ...

Problem I see with a ladder is that your facing the wrong way and need to twist left or right. I may pick up a 3 or 4 foot step ladder and cover the back side with thick foam; just in case it tips over against the body. Since I'm considering detailing as a business, I've thought of an actual...

I'm currently working on my wife's XC90 (these things are about the size of a school bus!) I used a small step ladder to reach the roof when washing. But how do you tackle this if some guy, like me, wants to apply or remove wax, etc. with a D/A? The step ladder feels a bit to unstable to be...

:iagree:

Re: how to determine what a wheel is made of Subscribed to thread. Can't wait till it's available.

Re: how to determine what a wheel is made of I know I must have sounded like a box of rocks in my OP; but this every third grader knows :doh: I'll try and take more time in the future to be more specific. My concern has more to do with any possible coating the wheels may have and any...

Re: how to determine what a wheel is made of I just got back online and thanks to everyone that took the time to reply. So I did check some auto mfg.sites and it seems many are using anodized aluminum alloy, painted and clear coated; as was stated. The info that "most of chrysler/dodge/jeep...

How to determine what a wheel is made of ? I've read threads that recommend different products for cleaning/polishing aluminum, mag, chrome wheels, etc. and was wondering how you tell the difference? :confused:

Thanks guys for the replies. I've considered Booms , but I'd need to put the vacuum system outside, way to much noise. Was about to pull the trigger on the shop space but it was rented :(

In my neck of the woods there are no shops available with floor drains and I'm guessing having a contractor add one would be way to expensive. So I've been looking at products like this (and no it's not SPAM) POWER WASHING CONTAINMENT MATS CUSTOM MADE | eBay I think DetailKing has some that...

Thanks for taking the time to answer all my ?'s and then some. Ya know there's a 'Black' model of the Tornador available in Europe that's supposed to be more powerful (= better?) as well as the Twister II in the video. All these units are mfg. in either Taiwan or China. Sure wish we could get...

The dash? Radio? Vents? Cup holders? And no residue? How easy was it to wipe the cleaned surfaces? A brush for the vents? And oh yea, I forgot about the headliner? Was it faster? Sorry for all the ?'s but trying to get a clear idea of how useful it really is.

Not the foam gun. I have searched - seen the videos It seems this tool is used on everything (in one video a Jag - from the dash to the headliner to the wheels) Companion product - enzyme Super Concentrate - This is usable on all surfaces from leather to mag wheels? What solutions are...

Thanks OLDMAN But I was hoping for references/experience with companies like these: Glass Repair, Windshield Repair Kits, Windshield Repair Kit, Glass Protection - GlasWeld

Hope this is the place to post ... and I realize its Superbowl Sunday I've been lurking the forum in anticipation of starting my own detailing business. It seems worthwhile to get the training, but living in the SW, offering rock chip repair also seems to be something I should be skilled at. A...
