here are some shots of my garage and the products and supplies i use to detail with . these include wheel polishing/ aluminum polishing stuff . the shot of the desk is my wheel polishing stand . it cost a buck at a thrift store and it allows me to be comfortable while doing hours of polishing .

i paid 175.00 2 weeks ago ..i bought it because i was having troubles with my karcher .. i went thru 2 karchers and my warranty was almost up and they would not offer me new warranty on my replacement so i got a refund and went to home depot and got this one . its got lots of pressure and it doesnt fall over everytime i move it like the karcher .. but the karcher had a little soap pickup hose you could stick in a gallon bottle and you could soap up the car without using a bucket .. ill have to check out the price you mentioned and see if i can get some money back ..

Big ron I have the exact same Pressue washer - there is a soap resiviour (sp?) on the bottom of it that will dispense soap if you use the variable pressue wand at the lowest setting!

Bigron the garage looks good. But, the wheels caught my attention. They look sweet.

I just stripped the clear off some aluminum wheels and want to polish them. Have metal polish, wet sand paper (600,1500 and 2000). Have brown, black and white compounds and poorboys wheelsealant. Have buffing wheels, air compressor and some air drills and small air grinder that will take the buffing wheels.

The question now is how do I get the mirror finish you have on your wheels onto to mine....
