^ they are, I recently decided to pick up detailing as a side job. Detailed only close friends and families cars with my old UDM for the last 6 years. Still learning the new rotary at this time. I'll get better though!
^ you can buy them in gallons @ just about any grocery store. I got mine at Walgreens, it was 3 for 2 bucks.
De-ionized water?? are you sure its not purified water? i have a small ass computer screen so i cant see much detail lol. i just rent a DI filter tank, gets me 900-1400 gallons and only costs $40
Looks like a good start. I use Distilled water for ONR washing and use for mixing chemicals. ADVS where do you get the filter from?
sal, i rent it locally from a water filtration place. they deal with RO and DI systems. i was told to check local collugan places, they rent tanks that they use for big systems
^ thanks, I'm looking to start doing this part time (weekend type of deal). Sinc I'm going to college full time and am not working at the moment.
Here are the pictures, I really want raceglaze brushes (the whole set of 5), but cannot justify at this point because I am just starting out, and don't have a steady stream of customers yet. Exterior Care: My three polishers (Flex rotary, GG6 and GG3), and my Vac and Blo unit: Various brushes: Polishes and wax: Pads, towels, and mitts Various polishes & glass cleaner & interior stuff Not shown are my 3 buckets, IPA, distilled water, and my pressure washer.
Never dull has only failed me once, but I didn't know better then and used it on a non clearcoated rim (polished lip, no clearcoat), and it hazed up the lip, lesson learned there. But its done great jobs @ polishing the chrome trim and exhaust tips on my tsx.
