Have you used a Pro gauge II? If so are they ok for the weekend detailer ? How much would a gauge cost? I see Pro motors products list them as item 2438 but no price. Help anyone. Thanks Denny:confused:

From what others have said they aren't worth the money. Save the money and use it on one of the digital ones.
 
Paint Thickness Gauge- Model DEF-900



Itâ€â„¢s interesting to note that painters must now demonstrate proficiency with an electronic paint thickness gauge in order to become certified to perform refinish warranty work for General Motors Corp. (GM) vehicles.



German and Japanese cars: 4-5 Mils (1 Mil=1000th of an inch)

With the exception of:

Lexus-White and Tan: 5-7 Mils, Lexus- Black and Silver: 4.5-6 Mils

BMW: Silver: 6-7 Mils

FORD: Approx. 5.5-7 Mils

GM Cars and Trucks: Approx. 4.5-6.0 Mils, Jimmys and Blazers: approx 7 Mils

Chrysler: Approx. 5.5-7 Mils (Note Sebring hoods are fiberglass)

Dodge Cars: Similar to Chrysler

Dodge Trucks and newer Ram Pick-ups: Cab approx. Mils and the boxes approx 9 Mils

Jaguar: approx. 6-7.5 Mils (but they tend to vary)

Jeep Grand Cherokee: These read approx. 6-8 Mils, Wranglers: approx. 4.5-5.5 Mils
