Mike's cool detailing cart - brand name?

[david b]

I've looked all over this forum without success. Anybody know the brand name of the detailing cart/tray that Mike P uses? It's visible in a number of his pics.
Thanks in advance
David

I dunno if that was an autocorrect--that's Blue-Point.

If this is the one you are talking about:

The link doesn't work anymore--try here: https://store.snapon.com/Service-Tra...g-P647886.aspx

It also comes in all black: https://store.snapon.com/Service-Tra...--P741291.aspx


Hopefully I'm not going to get banned for updating a link Mike already posted.

Interestingly enough... I have an article on this car and it's titled like you titled your thread.

Also just to note, the way I found it was I typed the below into Google and it came up as the first link

I have found the fastest way to find any of the articles I've written over the last 15 years is to type a few key words PLUS my first and last name into Google and in most cases, multiple articles will pull up.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, that's the one I'm talking about. Blue Point. Appreciate the assist.

No problemo... thanks for getting the updated link on the Snap-On website.

I have updated my original article with the latest link.

For the record, I've updated the link in that article written in 2012 a number of times. Snap-on, like many companies keep updating their sites and this means new URLs making any old URL non-working.





It is a cool cart. I use it mostly for taking pictures when showcasing the products I use like this,

One of these days I need to go through the entire forum and create a thread that shows the hundreds of cool cars that have been detailed here at Autogeek's Show Car Garage.


It would probably take a week to do this because it's going to be a LOT of cars.


I'm glad that over the years I've taken the time to document the before, during and after for all the cars that have been through our classes or that I have personally detailed.

How to buff in tight spaces using a rotary buffer


For doing correction work in tight areas and on thin panels I use the Flex PE14 with a small pad. I call this surgical or precision buffing. To do this you need,

1. Lightweight, compact rotary buffer
2. Rotary Buffer Backing Plate Extension(s)
3. Small backing plates
4. Small buffing pads, both foam and fiber

Here's an example on the Lotus Esprit I recently buffed out. I used these pictures for my class at Mobile Tech Expo, "How to use the rotary buffer".




Surgical or Precision Buffing
I could have done this type of precision buffing using a FULL SIZE DeWALT, or Makita or 3M or Milwaukee Rotary Buffer but it's the compact size, that is no bulky body in the way of my view or in the way of body components, plus the lightweight plus the slow RPM that makes the Flex PE14 the perfect tool for this type of work.

1. You want power?
2. You want ease of use?
3. You want to buff out thin panels or get into tight areas to do correction and polishing work?

The Flex PE14 and small pads, backing plates and an extension or two and you're good to go...

YOU detail cars, Mike?

Huh. I had no idea.

(Please do not strike me, oh Great one!)

Ugh. Okay, well, add the Cool Cart to my "don't NEED but really WANT and will probably find a way to justify sooner than later" list. It's ergonomically sound, that's for sure.
Mike, looking forward to learning on the rotary! Have a tough edge on the 300ZX that's probably going to need it.

Wow! Just noticed I'm not a junior member any more... Ain't that special!
It's 0320... don't mind me.
