shop setup

have you looked into one of those containment mats? I know Chemical guys sells them, it basically is a large plastic tarp with a inflatable edge to control the run off...........hooks up to a reclamation system etc. Might be worth looking into since they have some pretty strict regs at the place you have a shop........

good luck, sounds like you got it under control!

 

thanks kilo,

the shop vacs will be more than enough. very little water, just want to avoid the build up.

can you suggest the stongest wheel cleaner that is acid free (ph balanced)?

I would give the Griot's HD a try godoman. It's local, cheap, and IMHO does as good a job as Sonax.

Where's your shop located? I'd like to stop by after work sometime and check it out.

 

I like Autoglym CWC, but I use CG Citrus and various APCs

 

I am located in the University Place area. It is bare bones empty at the moment. I work a full time job (grave yard) and will work the shop every day during the week, and maybe saturdays) after 11am and try to keep it open until 4pm as I need to put everything away and drive back to maple valley to sleep. this is just a soft opening until march. I say that because it will not be "complete" like I want it with shelves installed by my friend (carpenter), T5 lights to make it look like a giant oven and some mirrors. also the carpet extractors.

till then, I will upload a pic that I have on my cell that I took of the shop with two honda s2000 that my friend and I parked inside of it to show the size of it. funny cause he has a white one and me a black one.

so autoglym cwc and cg citrus as well as griots HD. I will give all 3 of those a look at

Godoman,

Congrats on your new beginnings. I would go grassroots and really get the minimal amount of things you need first.

Your basics till you can figure out what the jobs are like, and what your market is.

You can always get started and build yourself up to where you need to be, no need for the extractor yet or the big ticket items.

I would even go to say no need to get gallons or ton of chemicals either. Start slow and go from there.

I would spend on the lighting etc.

 

You should try Brown Royal on the wheels, I know its acid free...

 

Thanks phill. Actually, everything that I own already I listed except for the 2 vacums. I have been in the process of creating back stock for a year waiting to find the right place. I will hold off on anymore buying
