Always size your tools against free air delivery, which is 10.2 CFM here.Is this enough for a full-time detailing business?For a single operator, comfortably. For multiple operators using air simultaneously, look at the three-phase range.What maintenance does it need?Periodic oil changes and regular tank draining.
