I don't think my back/bones/muscles could take the beating of doing it as a trade.
My weapon of choice is the Makita 9227. Got one for free, so cant' complain. I have a 3" extension with a 3m backing plate. Also have a rubbish boy's 3" backing plate for harder to polish areas. And down to a 75mm backing plate for spot polishing. Haven't really bought anything for polishes other than Menzerna as they work excellent for me. I have some Scholl's to try out though.
Favorite waxes... depends. RBOE is my favorite for looks, but application is kind of a PITA. It's look rivals Vintage, but at a fraction of the cost. Otherwise, I use Supernatural. I have a pot that was signed by Dom and PJ, to me:
Nice to see another detailer over here. I have been meaning to get back into the hobby.  |
Nice! I used to detail on the side, but it was just a handful of quarterly customers with pretty high end rides. Now, I just do my own rides. After about 5 years out of it, I ditched a lot of product and bought new stuff. Holy hell stuff changed in 5 years. Have you seen the acrylic coatings? Badass stuff. Also, trim sealant is a godsend (expensive, but damn good). I still just rock the PC 7424.
Waxes/Sealants I still have:
Menzerna Powerlock - New favorite
Pinnacle Souvran
Pinnacle Souvran Signature V1
P21S
Zymol Carbon - this is 13 years oldm but was my gateway wax so I have not tossed it. Plus it smells good
Gtechniq
4 Star UPP old formula
Klass twins
Poorboy's Nattys
