I did a search on greenglides and there are a lot of to choose from.
What is so special about them?
If I just want one or two which ones should I get.
And what about the chinese knockoffs how much are they and where can I find them?]]> Thu, 05 Apr 2007 16:36:12 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3597&PID=102055&title=starting-out-advice-needed#102055 <![CDATA[Starting out advice needed : If you buy a portable dont worry...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3597&PID=102024&title=starting-out-advice-needed#102024 Author: John L

If you buy a portable dont worry about the glide.. It dont have to be a greenglide..
 
A chinese knockoff does the same thing... It glides...

The cds has a good track record, but the hours are pretty high.  I would keep looking, there is always someone getting out of the biz and needs to sell quick, if that tells you anything.  Hang out at your local supply house and put a bug in the salesman's ear. 

The other thing I picked up on in your posts is that you are not looking to get rich.  That's o.k., you sound like a good guy, but unless you go into this with the idea of making good money you will never make it.  It's a great part time biz, but make sure to charge as much as possible on every job.  Do less work, make more money.  Make sense?

Oh yeah, and at your age (no offense) a GreenGlide on your wand is a must.
