I really don't buy anything at Target for my detail business...it's also a 40 min. drive my home.

I don't use soaps so that wouldn't work for me and since I import my own towels that would not make sense either.

I saw an express wash the other day with about 2 drops of auto wash, a little quick detailer, and water. There is a formula. It worked very well on the car that was mildly dirty. Product cost was less than 4 cents. Virtually no water was on the ground because there was no prespray/rinse.

Ivan from Canada also had his own product that was very impressive. It repelled water better than any of the other water smart products tested IMO.

We used it on a dirty red Triumph in the sun and it did not leave scratches..neither did ONR for that matter and we were not using two buckets or prespraying any ONR on the car. That said, I have a Mercedes tomorrow and I still use the pump sprayer before washing.

From what I am seeing and from the talks I am having with some business leaders, the changes in "mobile detailing" and so forth are coming very soon. As in any business, times change and so does equipment. I think there are a lot of nervous equipment dealers right now- but the good ones will adapt and move forward and be successful.

I don't see too many GEM polishers out there, but there was a time when they were the polisher of choice!
