<HTML>Vesta..where to start ! Here what we have in our bay .
Ok, Thermax extractor,shop-vac, De-walt variable speed buffer, cheap brand variable speed buffer, fixed speed Snap-on buffer, Cyclo polisher, Porter Cable polisher, various orbital waxers (not used) . Big compressor (not sure on make ) , heat gun, smoke box ( or air purifier, its been here so long no-one is sure what it really is) .
Thats the main hardware so to speak.
The only things we dont have that I want to get are an ozone machine , paint gauge, magnifier, high speed dryer, and some sort of chemical dispensing system. Some of our guys dont know the difference between a half ounce and a half gallon.

<HTML>Here in England, there seems to be a far greater concern over interiors than paintwork. We also have to dry the cars in the absence of California weather.
So we have two shampoo machines, steam machine, ozone machines (about 3), blow dryers, dehumidifier.
We have also just bought a machine which pumps various smells into the cars, 'new car smell', leather' etc. Although I don't think anybody has actually used it yet.
Other than that, we have all the usual stuff, hot preassure washers, buffers, polishers, etc.</HTML>

<HTML>P.S.
Im returning the machine which pumps smells into to car as it was quite frankly... crap.
If you get offered a machine which works on catridges... don't bother, as the smell lasts about 2 hours.
Im having a fogger delivered on tuesday, hopefully this will be more useful for all sorts of things.</HTML>
