<HTML>Buda, your a hell of a salesman,but if I keep buying stuff that I can get by with out for the present time,I can't get my "HOT-ONE" Extractor. Very good offer,and may do it anyway,as everytime that big electric mtr kicks on to run the compressor,thats one less time it will sometime in the future.

<HTML>Keith, try Northern Tool Company on line catalog, as they have some good ones. I'm still working on my home shop set up, and bought one from the 3 day Gypsie tool pedalers, that come thru our neck-of-the-woods. I wouldn't hit a dog in the ass with another one,if ya know what I mean. You get what you pay for, so do your home work, and get yourself a good one.

<HTML>Steve, If you are interested, the nozzle I referred to is a Lonn Mfg. CO. INC Water Saver- Indianapolis IND. The Blue Point Number is YA-297. The Snap-On Tool Truck venders can get/sell you one. Mine cost me $20.00, and outside of crushing them with an Abrams Tank they will last a very long time.

<HTML>Sol, Forget the wax crap,and go to Detailplus.com,and order yourself a 1 gal jug of Diamond Plus Sealant. Then clean it good, and give your self a good coat of the sealant. Kick back, as you won't have to do this again for another 4-6 months depending on the weather. Then after sealant ,when washing "U" can use a detailing spray if you want.

<HTML>No I haven't,but I was think about one,but with the Big 5hp 2-stage air compressor in the shop, I haven't really got to excited. It maybe cheaper to run the air wand enlieu of the comp. I'm thinking about it though.....Brandy</HTML>by Eric Brandenburg - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>Chris, maybe you will answer my question about 78 threads ago on this subject. There was someone about a year ago, that wrote on the forum about a company called Brotex,Inc in St.Paul,Minn. They also gave a womens name of JoAnn Sparkman for the Microfiber,or detailing rags contact,was that you???....

<HTML>Way to go Bill, the alcohol rub down, as you say will tell the tale. I did the very excact same thing, only I used my Hutchins air driven DA to work this miracle,and I felt so good,and this warm feeling came over me, until I washed the buffed area off with MS,and still had the battle scars. I got out the old 3M,and Mikita Buffer and went to work. 30 minutes later the complete dog housby Eric Brandenburg - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Steve, I bought a hose nozzle from the Snap on Tool Man, that comes to our shop. I gave $20.00 for it. It is a "Blue Point" tool company product, who now is owned by Snap-On. My Buddie bought one in 1981 from same toolman,and the nozzle is still being used everyday at the body shop. It looks like a piece of 3/4" hose, on the end of a brass nozzle,that screws to the hoseby Eric Brandenburg - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>Bee, go to Detailplus.com, then click on special offers. Bud has a reconditioned 3 gallon Tuffy for sale which is about 300-400 dollars off the regular price. One of the other Detailers a few months back bought one of his,and has had very good luck with it.

<HTML>To Dave and all the rest: Any piece of equipment when used, will break down at some point. I saw a HP-500 unit in Kenova,WVA this past week sitting in the doorway of a Detail Shop,and from the street,as well as up close it looked to be a new unit.

<HTML>Ok Bud, now that you have improved our intelligence on how us Detailers can get really screwed on purchasing what we would think to be a Super Concentrated Chemical, so we can cut it with water,when its already been cut with Brine to make the thicker or a heavier emulsion. Without calling my friends at the Refinery Lab, what other method can we use with out a taste test. Better yet ,by Eric Brandenburg - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
<HTML>Hey Jorge, listen to Bud as what he says is what we do at a Paint/Body Shop I'm working at,doing the Water Sanding and Buffing. When we sell a detail with the repair work, then have the customer to return back in 90-120 days to wash and install a coat of Sealant. But not until the paint has cured so to speak.

<HTML>Brian, The Detailer with the Mytee Extractor problems had a set of rolling scaffolding with a set of 4" locking casters that looked like a good set up. The metal scaffold boards had a locked over round rungs that were spaced from 2'- 4' graduations.
