Swisstrax through the detailing space and a more integrated cabinet/work bench/sink arrangement. A wash bay would also be on the wish list, either inside or outside.

    My dad is a retired building estimator and designer, so I do have a foot in the door, I just need to get motivated.

    I mapped this out on an Excel spreadsheet to visualize what I'm dreaming of. Maybe one day.

    That's the appropriate 'Geek/Autopian residence: A large garage with a small attached house.

    Oh sheesh, you have Powerball down there, too? I haven't seen any of those center-post hydraulic lifts in a long time, for the last 40 years or so here in the US all anyone installs is the two-post lifts--that all may be cost-driven, however.

    Most times nobody out there but you to protect you the moment you or others in your presence face a situation of life threatening or serious bodily harm.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    My nephew got a new windshield in his Tuscon last week, he hadn't touched it since it was put in, and didn't really have anything on the shelf. I thought it would be a good opportunity to test out Glaco on some fresh glass. I gave it a wipe over with Eraser, then applied a double coat of Glaco, while that was drying I decided to treat the side and rear glass as well. Came up good all round, but I did notice the wipe off was harder on the windshield, I bit more effort required on the new glass. The whole thing needs a wash, but there are showers predicted for the next few days, so I'll leave it at the glass.

    Noticed how shiny and clean my GLI looks sitting in winter hibernation. It warms the coggles of my heart.

    Hopefully get it on today! Had to straighten them out they came bent all to hell..... first time I ever had that issue. Also the font is all pixelated and fuzzy looking even plates are getting cheap and flimsy. Oh, and no more 3D bubble font also not a fan of that.

    Another rinseless wash for the Qashqai, it got rained on yesterday, also bird bombed, so it couldn't be ignored. I used ONR this time as I'm running low on Ech2o. With everything on sale, they're out of stock at the moment.
