Few More Questions!!!! - 11-13-2007, 01:52 PM

I have a few more questions i hope everybody doesn't mind answering.

1. Which chemicals do you all use on the exterior of the vehicles you detail?

2. Same thing just on the interior.

3. What size shop-vac do you use (in gallons)?

4. What did your steam cleaner cost (if you use 1)?

1) PB P-w-C, EXP and Natty's also his SWR but this questions had LOTS of answers...there are so many combos its crazy..and it is really dependent of what you are trying to accomplish.

2) I use a good citrus based APC mixed with water 10/1 to clean...then for dressing PB NL

3) I have a 5 gallon 5HP Craftsman's and love it!

4) I don't have one sorry

1: It varies, kind of a loaded question as there are so many aspects to the exterior.

2: Same as Dave, although again this is a preference I do like PB NL because I prefer the Matte look, some like glossy...

3: I use a 5 Gallon, along with my Metro vac.

4: By Steam Cleaner, do you mean a Carpet Extractor, or a machine with a boiler that heats up water to produce steam, that you clean with? I have the later, it cost me $600.


I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.
