Squeegee? Only if you want to scratch your paint. Use a soft microfibre drying towel.

why would you spend extra money on a water filtration system, the water that comes out of your water spout is the same as your kitchen facucet. If you dont want spots, than dont rely on your car to air dry, get in there and squeegee all the water off after your done washing it

ProGamer24: Its always best to take pro cation when detailing cars, especially if your detailing for customers, waxing does help water from settling on your vehicles paint, but Investing in a filtration unit can help tremendously, also using the correct washing methods will help prevent swirls (Correct Washing Method: Two Bucket Method, Sheeting Method, Waffle Towel) , hard water spots can be hard to get out sometimes

I have detailed my car at home numerous times. If you wax your car water will basically bead up and fly off the car if you use a good microfiber cloth. You dont need a filtration system.

You need the compressor to blow the water out of the mirrors and trim locations (if you are a good detailer)

Prob blowing down things. Like dust off an engine or that. Just guessing

dude your an idiot. cleaning a car in sunlight can be very beneficial. I have been detailing for over 10 years and shop light is different then sunlight, when detailing with swirls etc. also many companies make sun safe products, you dont know what your talking about.

wow. there was nothing about actually detailing your car

You don’t need DI water to keep from having water spots. You can still have water spots even if you use DI water. What makes a water spot is dirt settling in the water and when it drys the dirt is left behind. So as long as you dry the car as soon as you finish, souldn’t be any spots. As far as washing car in sunlight you just have to work faster. You don’t want to wax in sunlight unless its a wipe on wipe off wax. YOU IDIOT!!

Dude your a knucklehead, stupid idiot!! If u were a good detailer (I’m a professional) you’d kno that U can’t clean a car in the sunlight, hell I bet u do windows in the sunlight too…….IDIOT!!!

thank you i never thought to use air for detailing.
November 28th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
we had numerous detailers that had that same water tank and a 9” cation/ anion Di setion with them in a 20′ box truck and they would turn around to us every week and repeat customers it was 100.00 150.00 per exchange as long as they didnt damage the resin in the tanks.
You would be surprised where these people pull up to steal water. Btw , I worked for Culligan for a few years and know all about this. All it takes is a a salt brine charge and acid charge to recharge the tanks.

loved all your videos
November 30th, 2009 at 4:15 am
yeah idk to much extra equipment i just use product rags buffer and some odds and ends tools like scrub brushes and such but no reason should need to be carrying around a huge tank of water and water filtration systems thats a little excessive. If u just work fast u wont have spots its that easy . same goes with wax work fast and it wont dry on like cement
