Here is a pic of the glaze bottle (sora) its the yellow bottle in front of the tan vacuum. Notice the nice new HONDA geneator I just picked up

What are the spec on the Honda Generator?? is is close to silent?? Thanks in advance for any replies...I have been reading up on so much info on this site, The tuff part is to distinguish between diferent products, everyone has their own personal choice and are very firm on their stance...Thanks again..

it is rated at 1600W, it is about the size of my shopvac (like you know how big that is) I think it is about 20"highx24"longx12"wide.
It is VERY quite I think the manual said 59 decibals at full load. My shop vac is much louder than the generator!. It is a nice little investment and from what I hear they last a long time. It was a bit pricey at just under $1000 but well worth it in my eyes.

I saw that generator on the Honda Canada website for 1700.00 :scared and it looked exactly like yours. 58 dbl too, well it was like 56 at 25% and 58 at "rated load". the difference is much more than the exchange rate so maybe I will look for other ways of getting one.. If you don't mind me prying - and taking this thread way offtopic - what vaccuum, pwr sprayer (if you do use one), rotory tool and carpetcleaner (ie steam cleaner) do you use..

I am trying to get a Bissel Turbo Little Green Steam Cleaner... but the Canadian walmart site is crap... and I can't order form the US one. Arghhh I will have to call Bissel directly and find out...

Thanks for the replies. It is greatly appreciated..

Take care

Then generator is the Honda EU2000i I got it from a local Honda motorcycle shop for $952 out the door. I use a craftsman shop vac. forgot the number of it, I use a Century spotter for water extraction. I dont use a pwr washer because well I cant fit any more stuff into my trunk

, I have one at home but I dont use it much. I use a Dewalt849 rotory. I have heard the little bissel does pretty a pretty good job for a little unit.

I always give my customers this upfront disclaimer:

"While detailing can make a dramatic improvement in a vehicle's appearance, it cannot correct deep scratches or peeling clear coats, and some interior stains may be permanent. Swirl and buffer marks can be removed or dramatically reduced in most cases. We also use clay detailing when needed to remove imbedded dirt and paint overspray. We can also remove most paint oxidation as well. Only a complete visual inspection can determine what defects can be corrected and those that cannot. Because vehicle conditions can vary greatly, our pricing policy is a only a general guideline."

If I can remove 90% or more of the surface defects in a reasonable amount of time, I am usually satisfied and the customers are ecstatic.

Zane - Would you have any objections if I use your disclaimer or parts thereof?

Did you try Amazon.com? I bought a reconditioned Bissel for $50, works fine. Free shipping too.
