    Clay Bars

    Lots of Microfibers

    Waffle Weave Drying Towels

    Hey, where in Wisconsin are you at?



    Your list looks good. Maybe get some painters tape and some APC.

    Milwaukee.

    The blue painters tape I have, I forgot to put it down.

    I also have been using Zep`s Citrus Degreaser, dilluted 1:1. It seems to do a pretty darn good job.



    My grandparents have a place pretty close to Green Bay about 45 minutes away, in Oconto. I like it up there.

    I`m certainly not a professional but I think if you do it `on the side` you should be prepared to turn down work if you don`t have the proper tools. I think a lot of guys make the mistake of biting more than they can chew especially if they don`t have the experience of dealing with all types of situations. However, since you`re just doing your neighbors friends and family it sounds like you`re good to go. You seem set up for basic details that consist of polishing, wax, etc..



    Good luck,

    Thanks. No, I definitely check out the cars first and make sure I can handle them.

    I let them know what I can and can`t do.
