Wow!!! I checked out the solutions on Sunmist - $125.00 for a HALF gallon!!!! This stuff must really be something special! Couldn't find an ingredient list - did they supply you with one when you received your solution ? I would like to know what's in it!

You will get some solutions with your maximist. Read through these threads. Get some names and order some samples. Everyone likes something different. Have to find what you like. Sorry. No easy way.

trppnbean, Congrats, the maximist is a great buy for the money. OnBronzer is right! you can certainly get names of good solutions to try, but ultimately it will depend on the color your looking for, the skin types you are spraying , thicker vs thinner
how long it lasts, etc. the most recent posts are here, TBT Revive
TBT will send you nice products you can start with those.

Re: NEW TO THIS! NEED SOLUTION & Start up Advice! please!

A good machine that I use that works wonders and is not expensive is my Iwata Studio Series Power Jet lite. I bought it new on ebay for $275. Not to be knocking on other mobile services out there but I don't feel the need to go buy a $2000-$4500 on a machine when a $275 one does that same thing with the same results if not better.

As for solution goes, I use Amber Sun Norvell. It dries in seconds, no steaks, no orange. I use it on myself and love it. Four Seasons sell the solution . Call them at 1800-325-2769

Jamaica Me Tan is a good solution to use. To me it's like Norvell. Both great results. I usually give the legs atleast 2 good sprays for women.

To start my business with the tent, machine, solution , and spray gun, I spent about $500 and I have no regrets whatsoever.

Thanks- I just ordered samples of norvell and jamaica me tan so we'll see how these go- any suggestions for getting off the last bit of remaining tan before spraying again?

Hey Cruiser

Yes, it is $125.00 per 1/2 Gallon, and I get 30 Tans for each bottle I purchase. 30 Tans X $35.00 per tan = $1050.00 - Works for me! They do offer specials on the solution occassionaly, and I stock up then, in fact I bought 6 half gallons today as it's buy one get one for 1/2 price - Wooo Hooo!! It's worth the price to me as I can depend on the result, and that result has grown my business tremendously. You get what you pay for. I requested an ingredient list and they sent it to me the same day.

trppnbean,
I sprayed with some stuff I can't get off so i know what ya mean. Tried gylcolic spray exfoliators (don't waster your money), 5 kinds of body scrub loofah.etc. It's still there! I went in my hot tub, the chlorine helped a bit, but some of these solutions are tough to get off completely.

Re: NEW TO THIS! NEED SOLUTION & Start up Advice! please!

relaxologie is so right! Those products that "claim" to remove a DHA developed tan just do not work FULLY! They "might" lighten the tan a little but remove it they will not.

Remember folks....... We are turning the top layer of skin Brown. There is no "magic DHA Tan 100% remover!" We loose the UV Free tan as we shed that top layer of skin. Period.

In my experiences the fastest way to get it off of the skin is by sweating and lots of exfoliation.

IMO.......
