That's awesome man.. BTW did you happen to get your shop vac at Lowes? I'm headed over there in a few minutes to get me one too. My wife just showed me that in the ad. hehe... Good luck on your business. I've been wanting to do the same thing for quite a few years now. Maybe one of these days...

Welcome to the addiction!

You are going to love the PC. With the proper selection of pads and polishes and waxes/sealants, you will be wondering how you ever did without one before!

I find that detailing my own vehicles is therapy.

I do have a part time detailing venture that pays for vacations and flying lessons.

PS: You are going to need a lot more mf towels!

Good choices there! I love the Cobra towels, CCS pads, XMT series polishes, PB's NB, and the Pinnacle Safe scrub is a must!

One thing to add to your next order is a quality spray wax such as DG's AW or Pinnacle Souveran spray and also some Micro-restore. Trust me, your MF's will appreciate it.

What's the warrant on the Shop-Vac?

I got the Ridgid model, 4gal/5HP, and it was a little more expensive than others. However, it does have a lifetime guarantee.

Congrats on all the goodies and whitethunder was right, your MF's will love you if you wash them in micro-restore. Also you should check your pinnacle XMT polishing pad conditioner, if it has anything floating in it you should send it back. They had a bad batch and are still trying to figure out whats wrong. They sent out my second replacement yesterday. Luckily autogeek has great customer service.
