Yeah yeah... I hear ya. I just need to put together the money.
I bought a pressure washer last week so I could buy a foam cannon from you guys. I'm trying to step up my auto detailing game. Not as a source of income, just for my personal vehicles.

Using both the Aztec Hotrod and the Mytee Lite 8070 Hot Water Extractors
Me showing to pull the extractor s-l-o-w-l-y over the fabric

Microfiber DA Correction Systems & Paint Coatings
The class used the Meguiar's Microfiber DA Correction System on one side of the Corvette and the Optimum Microfiber DA Correction System on the other side of the Corvette.
After the swirls were removed the students were able to test out and use Opti-Coat II and CQuartz on the Vette. The results were flawless.
The students were able to use all the different DA Polishers plus foam pads and Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover and Advanced Finishing Polish to remove the swirls and restore a show car finish to a 1949 Chevrolet Carryall that started out completely swirled-out from the miss-use of a rotary buffer.
1949 Chevrolet Carryall Extreme Makeover
After the Vette is finished we tackle the 1949 Chevrolet Carryall using Pinnacle Polishes and Flex Polishers plus PC's, Megs and Griot's DA Polishers.
All the paint on the Carryall looks like this...
These classes are fast-paced, educational and a lot of fun!
