Whats the best way to apply AIO, a rotary, orbital, or hand? J.D.

I need some help, do people like using the 7424 orbital better than the 7336 rotary? I've been reading alot about the 7424 and it seems more people use this than the rotary. Does the 7424 produce better results than the rotary? I am looking to buy either, because my detail man just quit...

I have though about putting up prices for services offered at our shop on our shops site, I had them up for a couple of days, but then figured it just gives people a chance to decide wether or not they want to come in for a detail without me talking to them first. Does this seem right or do...

I have a couple of questions, at our shop we recently started detailing cars for more money. I hired a full-time detailer to handle it all. We only use a brush, the Automagic #8 solution, and a 7hp wet/dry shop vac. It cleans decently, but not good enough. I don't want to invest in a larger...

Does anyone have any suggestions or advice for me? Hello, I'm new to the forums, maybe some shop owners might be able to help me out. We are opening up a Auto Salon down the road from my house. It's a 1800 sq ft shop, 400 sq ft showroom, and 1400 sq ft garage, 1000 dollars a month. We have a...
