I'm just a new for Detailing, What machine should I buy for Interior and Exterior detailing also the best canon for car washing. I'll practice first before opening a Carwash and Detailing business.
 
I'm a big fan of do it once...do it right.
So here are my thoughts.

Exterior
Washing:
I use a small Ryobi 1,600 PSI 1.2 GPM Electric Pressure Washer
MTM Hydro PF22.2 Professional Snow Foam Cannon
2) CarPro Merino Wool Wash Mitt
2) Grit Guard Insert

Machine:
RUPES Mark 3
RUPES Mark 3 - BigFoot LHR 21
RUPES 5" Backing Plate
RUPES 5" Backing Plate
I prefer the 5" backing plate and 5" pads on all my DA machines.

Pads:
Lake Country HDO Blue Cutting Pad - 5 1/2"
Lake Country HDO Orange Polishing Pad - 5 1/2"
CarPro Gloss Pad 5"

Compound:
Scholl Concepts Shock 2 Cut Extreme Compound - 16 oz.

Polish:
Scholl Concepts S30+ Nano Compound - 16 oz.

Towels:
10) CarPro 2 Face Multi-Pack (No Lint) 16" x 16" - Orange

This should get you started...
Other suggestions appreciated.

Yepper, the Rupes 21, and the pressure washer/MTM Foam cannon are the big-ticket items.

The Rupes 21 is the big one. Remember get the 5" backing plate then get all your pads in 5".
I have about 12 different machines the Rupes 21 with a 5" bp is my go-to 90% of the time.
