Most of my customers don't even know what paint correction is so I didn't buy one the only reason I would buy one is to clean leather with a pc brush attachment

Wow really?

Maybe you should educate them?

Do a test panel for free?
 
Ok thanks but now i want the griots garage da polisher but I don't think I can use the pc brush what should I do?
 
Griots or PC are both good. Get one. Learn it and significantly increase your income.

For fixed location I would suggest retractable compressed air hoses from the ceiling on both sides of the car.
 
Griots. Plus you get a backing plate that is actually usable. Unlike PC.

Add a 5 inch BP and good to go.

I LOVE my GG6.

It is my first buffer too.

Heck I just used it a hour ago :cool:
 
The carpet brush fits a 5 inch backing plate. So no matter what polisher you buy get a 5'' plate for it too. It's the most useful format.
 
Im new to this basically and I bought the Harbor freight DA for 45 bucks with a 25% off cupon you can find online. its more powerfull than the PC, and there is a whole upgrade thread in here (if you get one PM me and ill send all the info I have been sending out to at least 30 people so far.) the brushes will also fit on this DA. Do you have a carpet cleaner? a green machine with water heater is only about 100 bucks. oh and you can get a warrenty on the HF DA for 20 bucks. it will save you a lot of money till you decide to put down the cash for a rupes or a Flex. (I would love a flex but dont have that kind of money!)
 
If you just get the threaded carpet brush it doesn't matter what size backing plate u have. It just screws right into the spindle.
 
Ok so far a da polisher is #1 on my list what should be next
 
Are you just getting started? Do you have basics like clay, microfibers, sealants, polishes, pads, etc?
 
A business plan, insurance , a good attorney, and the sense to realize that a person's car is likely the most expensive or second most expensive thing they own.
