That's usually how it always is lol. I'm getting out in January so they won't send me to the board. If I decide to go NG though they might just throw the rank at me haha

I have same Pressure washer and I love it..Sometimes I have to purge it cause it gets an air pocket but that only takes a min to turn off and let water flow. I would much rather deal with that then anything a gas PW would offer. I dont need anymore PSi or GPM my cannon works awesome and I dont have to listen to a gas engine running the entire time. Electric for me anyday over gas.

Don't get me wrong I loved my GWs its nice to have at home. But when it comes to mobile and commercial use, gas all the way. Ive owned both and for washing I love the extra GPM more water than actual air. The only draw back is is constant noise and no automatic shutoff.

Been working with my new da polisher, waiting for pics to upload and will share.

Anyone on the fence for buying a da polisher and m105/205 should just give in and do it. Its super easy and turns out great.

Here are just a couple comparison shots before and after correction. Poor lighting but you can still see the difference...

This is exactly the reason I love doing this stuff. Customers who understand an appreciate!

I got this message from the owner of the 2005 GT today:
"Dan - just wanted to mention that I washed the car for the first time since the detail. The paint is outstanding in the sunshine...no swirls. And I noticed that you managed to eliminate a scratch in the rear quarter."

Detailing has been put on hold until we are done moving. Then it's time to re-start any resemblance of a business I already had, lol.

I cleaned my pads I used on my car over the weekend to buff it out. I found my new way of cleaning them. i use to stand at the sink spray with APC rub them use little dawn rub rub rub and more rubbing to clean them..Now I forgot where I read it but tried someones else way. I just put on the grit guard in the bucket..take my pressure washer and boom 5-10sec later they are clean and look almost brand new

Good tip. Always hate cleaning pads w/ dawn. Takes forever to get the soap out..

I was like 2" from the pad surface..I used my 45degree tip cleaning them so it was super strong beam. didnt seem to make any damage to the buffnshine pads. if you go to far away it wont clean the pad and just blow it around in the bucket
