Ok ! This is what I would like to know. What kit should I start with. I have 2 craftsman buffer/polishers 1 and 7 in. That 3800 random orbits per minute and a craftsman 10 in. Should I keep them. Will they help me.
 
The 10" won't--could you give us some more detail on the other one?

As far as what kit to start your business--will you be full time, mobile/fixed, friends/family, what?
 
I would start out by doing some more reading about polishers if you're going to machine polish paint.

Here's a video to watch...

Do spend more time reading.

The most knowledgeable detailers I know are detailers that hang out of a quality forum like AGO and self-educate themselves.

Thanks Mike.. Since this post I have read a lot of material and watched hours of video.. I'm on AG every day learning something new. Thanks for your recent post squirrels and swirls.
 
What do you mean by kit? Are you looking at purchaseing a whole business start up kit? I know there are some websites that sell start up kits ex. Detail king or rightlook these kits are a rip off thou. You can use those kits as a guide as to what you need. Autogeek prices are much better and they are a better company to do business with. Be carefull with start up kits because there is a lot of products you will never use. Your best kit would be to get some basic equipment, chemicals and supplies.
 
^^ Absolutely right...I've looked into Detail King and it's definitely a rip off

Back to the OP...good luck with your business and just read read read here
