    ^ they are, I recently decided to pick up detailing as a side job. Detailed only close friends and families cars with my old UDM for the last 6 years. Still learning the new rotary at this time.
    I'll get better though!

    ^ you can buy them in gallons @ just about any grocery store. I got mine at Walgreens, it was 3 for 2 bucks.

    De-ionized water?? are you sure its not purified water? i have a small ass computer screen so i cant see much detail lol.

    i just rent a DI filter tank, gets me 900-1400 gallons and only costs $40

    Looks like a good start. I use Distilled water for ONR washing and use for mixing chemicals.
    ADVS where do you get the filter from?

    sal, i rent it locally from a water filtration place. they deal with RO and DI systems. i was told to check local collugan places, they rent tanks that they use for big systems

    I don't think its de-ionized. It says distilled water on it.

    Here are the pictures, I really want raceglaze brushes (the whole set of 5), but cannot justify at this point because I am just starting out, and don't have a steady stream of customers yet.

    Exterior Care:

    My three polishers (Flex rotary, GG6 and GG3), and my Vac and Blo unit:

    nice collection ;)

    Are you satisfied with Eagle One Nevr Dull ?

    Gives you good results or not?

    Never dull has only failed me once, but I didn't know better then and used it on a non clearcoated rim (polished lip, no clearcoat), and it hazed up the lip, lesson learned there.
    But its done great jobs @ polishing the chrome trim and exhaust tips on my tsx.
