Because none of you have the right idea!

You don't need a pump, you just need to spend decent money on decent equipment that works.

This sort of thing I'm not willing to be too helpful on as I did the research - the info's out there if you can be bothered to look for it.

That thread won't tell you everything. I spent MONTHS researching all manner of things to do with valeting on detailing on numerous sites both from the UK and US, practising etc etc.

Getting your tank / pressure washer set up right isn't a "small" thing believe me - considering it's what you will use on EVERY job it needs to be right lol.

People can only research what has been previously typed out, so surely your input would only help that? if you get what i mean.

The info's out there Chris - yes a lot of what I know came from trial & error but also from a lot of research as I say.

I just get a little frustrated when people try to jump on the bandwagon of something they see as doing well, but can't actually be bothered to do any of the groundwork themselves - just want it all presented to them on a silver platter.

I agree with rich though, surely to be a detailer/valeter you have to have a fairly in depth knowledge of waxes, polishes, clays etc

Speaking of knowledge, is Purple Haze DJ colour specific, if it will work on petrol blue (similar to nautliius blue) ill take one of your tubs
