              I still wonder about the $70 Harbor Freight one. I would think if you where a pro like Nick it would make sense to have the ETG one but for me it doesn't pay. Then again if it's not at all accurate your probably better off not even having one.

                  BINGO!
                  Why would you want to chance it? Maybe someone can do a side by side test between the ETG gauge and the $69.99 model?

                    Oh, and I am a long ways off from being a pro. But thanks for the compliment

                      Your in the top list of detailer's in my book. Don't sell yourself short.

                      I wish I knew someone with a ETG I would buy the $70 one to compare. If it was junk, I am sure they would take it back. If it's not accurate and consistent then it would probably do more harm than good.

                        this etg is $105.00 but they don't carry the etg2. I'm waiting for a rep to call me back.

                          I think the link it the old thread by Joe is wrong now. That looks like something else. It says that it's for rust proofing. Here's the link you want I think.

                            Well, thanks for the kind words! I think I'm blushing But I'm a long ways from being in the same ranks as someone like Joe, Mike and a few others on here. Those guys mad skills!
