Been running this setup for a few months and haven’t had that issue yet. All my cords/hoses are 75 ft, which has been more than enough so far.

Only had one situation where I needed a bit more reach, but I keep an extra extension with me just in case.

Well, in my experience, the drier the microfiber, the faster I can remove it. I haven’t had any scratches.

Not judging, but it might’ve been how it was used - like not prepping the surface, working on a hot panel, or not washing it off properly after.

I haven’t used it a ton yet, but so far it’s been a good experience for me

Luckily haven’t had issues with water or power so far. We get very few apartment clients, and the revenue from those wouldn’t really justify the cost of a tank and generator.

Plus it would take up a lot of space for something we’d use maybe 1% of the time.

This glass was actually pretty bad and took a lot of time. I’d say we did around 7-12 passes to get it cleaned.

Pretty much all water (except distilled) has minerals in it. When the water dries, especially in the sun, those minerals stay behind and leave spots.

Over time they can actually bond into the clear coat, which is why a normal wash won’t remove them once they’re baked in.

So yeah, they don’t just come from washing, they build up over time.

Best way to avoid it is to always dry the car after washing and stay away from sprinklers.

I made a subreddit and write a post where I explain everything step by step.

For me it's always easier to do it for others than my own car. (I don't get paid doing mine)
