Im not sure which bit to put this in :)

Well im not sure which bit to put this in really . When my legs right ill be buying all the gear thats needed to start up a successfull valeting and detailing business so again can anyone reccomend any products/equipment ?

I know it might be a bit differant in the states but if you know of any websites that sell stuff in GBP then fire away


Thanks Ricky.

 

How much do you have to spend?

 

£3000


BUT that has to get EVERYTHING ... chems equipment the lot , id idealy would only like to spend £2500 and get a van with the other £500.

 

Take my advice, only buy a couple LSP's(Waxes/Sealants).

Makita Rotary
Menzerna Polishes- Power Gloss, Power Finish, Super Finish, Final Finish.
Meguiar's M105
3M Backing plate
Pads of some sort, don't get drawn into "CCS" and other gimmicky pads. IMO flat is the best.
Bilt-Hamber Clay
A Glaze of some sort
Tire Dressing
Undercarriage dressing
P21S Red Wheel Cleaner
An All-Purpose Cleaner of some sort that's paint safe
500W Twin Halogen Lights
Extension Cord
LED Flashlight
Camera, the flash helps a lot.
Isopropyl Alcohol
Swissvax Brush
Stiff brush for cleaning the tires
Pressure washer
Leather Masters Cleaner/ Conditioner
Folex
Carpet brush
Wheel brush for the inner barrels
Black WOW

That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure there's lots more.

 

any ideas of where to get them ? ... I know Dollars is cheaper than GBP but , the money i save buying it from america will the shipping be cheaper or will it just be worth buying it from Uk websites ?

Thanks Darkstar 752 you are being a really good help have you got the websites where i can get the stuff from . preferably all the stuff from one or two sites ?

Pad wise im going for 3M and Megs
Makita Rotary
Menzerna , Sonus and 3M polish
Fenex light www.heinnie.com/kjphsw379687/Flashlights/Fenix/Fenix-LD20/p-97-403-3302/
Hallogens Silverline ones , ive got a website for them.


Pressure washer im going for a Kranzle with a Foam lance .

 

Most of the ones that I put names to are available in the UK, and the ones that I didn't, I didn't because I wasn't sure what you would be getting over there in the UK because I only have experience with US only versions of that product.

 

Send us the links ill have a look ... Have you experienced the shipping thingy from the UK to the USA ? (assuming so) whats it like ? how long does it take etc...
