    Need Help Purchasing The Right Equipment...

    Hello Everyone - I`m all over the place with getting things together for my auto detail business to open December 1st. I could really use some professional advice on purchasing a few products...

    1) The ozone machine: I found two on Amazon for under $150 ... worth the purchase? Suggestions?
    2) Air compressor: What`s the correct name for and where can I buy the "air spray hose" to blow out the dirt in the real tight spots throughout a vehicle? Suggestions?
    3) Vehicle Turning System: I probably sound stupid trying to explain this, but the system that a car drives onto in the garage, and then a person is able to spin the car around to allow space for another vehicle... What is this and where can I purchase something like this? Expensive I`m guessing?

    I would really appreciate any comments on my questions above and thank you. Also, if you have any advice or tips on products/equipment to purchase that would be deemed "required" to run a detail business appropriately Please share your thoughts! Thank You Thank You.

    Happy Thanks Ya`ll!

    Jim

    I`ll try to help as best I can

    1) I have no experience with ozone machines so I can`t really help with this one

    2) do you mean a blow gun? I bought a kit at Lowes that has a blow gun and an assortment of tips. The one I use all the time has a a lever to trigger the air and i added the tip covered in rubber from the kit. Just look where they have the compressors and connectors and you should find the kit

    3) not really sure what your talking about. All I can think of ate turn tables and they are really expensive. The cheaper alternative might be go jacks. They jack up each individual wheel and then you can push the car around where you need it.

    1. Can`t help you with that one.

    2. Hopefully Rocket answered your question on that one.

    3. Technical term for these are car dollies if that is what you are looking for. Google it. Price varies but make sure you buy heavy enough duty ones to cover all vehicles sizes that you plan on using them on. There are lots to choose from and a variety of prices. I do not have any experience with them.

    Hope #3 helps.
    Dean.
