I remember seeing somebody on here using a small battery powered low pressure washer for mobile jobs. I just thought I'd check and see if anyone among us has any nifty machines for mobile washing purposes. I have phased out major water use for everything except for my boat buffing services...

I normally charge $26/foot for boat buffing. What should I charge for RV buffing? I'm doing one tomorrow. Gel coat front and back, but standard rv sides. Not sure what to do about the sides yet either. Any suggestions? Sorry about the short post but I'm on location and using the iPhone.

I just got an email from a customer asking if I could polish his street bike wheels. He said he could sand blast them first. I've done some old Harley cases and heads but I don't do a lot of metal. The wet sanding is a lot of work. Any thoughts?

I normally just do daily drivers, which in my area are just regular cars that cost under $35,000 new. But last week I was so lucky (or thought I was) to get someone with a collector car that was actually worth some money. This is a guy that drives his genuine 69' Chevelle about 3000 miles each...

I started on the hood of a Volkswagen passat with my rotary. After two hours polishing in the sun I couldn't figure out why I couldn't remove some light holograms. I even went at it with my DA. Finally I realized that the sun glasses I was wearing had some kind of marring on them that was...

I don't NEED either of these at the present time, but I want them :) Should I?

I'm fully buffing and detailing a 55' yacht similar to the one in this pic. http://theboatpictures.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Maritimo_Flybridge_A55_Yacht.jpg In past large yachts I've always been able to get the brow, the roof over the lower "windshield" of the craft, by reaching...

So I had a little crack in my iphone 3g screen and decided to buy one of those screen replacement kits. Yesterday I followed the directions to the T after watching youtube videos and some PDA website videos. After I got it all back together I discovered the phone had turned itself back on while...

CM8822 Paint Coating Thickness Gauge Meter F/NF Probes | eBay I know you get what you paid for, but has anyone used one of these and is it any good compared to the nicer ones found on AG, etc??

Over the years I've grown apart from my DA with regards to correction work. Actually I never really liked it much from the start. It's an Ultimate Detailing Machine I picked up from Autogeek. I found myself steering clear of it and eventually avoiding it like the plague. It vibrates my hands to...

I got an unusual phone call from a guy the other day. He called and said he got my number from a friend of mine who owns a detailing product supply business (who keeps my cards handy for referrals ). He was trying to buff his boat on his own and had tried using a product that my friend the...

Does anyone know of a decent place to get a good aluminum polish kit? Preferably in Canada? I was going to get this one: Aluminum & Copper Alloy Polishing Kit - Caswell Canada I've been calling them all day and they don't answer their phone, and I can't get the order to work online because...

Anyone know where to get this in Canada?

I bought a bottle of PO85RD this winter and brought it out the other day. One of the things I liked best about this polish was that it worked very smoothly and I could use it outside with no problems. When I used it the other day it was grey! It used to be white. It did not work anything like it...

Hi everyone, I've just started detailing full time last spring. I've been self teaching myself for about ten years now since the time I got my first car was about the same time I got my first buffer! I started a little mobile unit by myself out of my truck and got a decent amount of business...
