Re: Who details their "detailer"?
Just a habit for me to clean off/wipe down every tool I use after a job.
I probably have over 60 grand invested in my equipment, power, and hand tools.
I treat each and every one like it's my baby.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: Who details their "detailer"?
Does ceramic coating your polishers count?
A wipe with a damp cloth makes them brand new.
The one thing that bothers me to no end is scuffed cords. Yet to find a good solution.

IMO:
To even remotely insinuate/imply that the
hard-working souls in the vehicle refurbishing
industry (ie: Detailers) are a “tool”...is, to say
the least: inconsiderate; insensitive; unkind.

Re: Who details their "detailer"?
I never gave this topic any thought. But it probably goes hand in hand with Dr. Jordon B. Peterson’s advice: “Clean Your Room!!!”
Now you guys have given me purpose for tomorrow.

Always wipe it down with either ONR or even Eraser if that was just used and is handy. I can’t put it away dirty, just can’t.

Re: Who details their "detailer"?
Everytime I see the ground's signature (scratch marks) on the handle of my Flex, I wince inside just a little bit for not protecting it, but I do occasionally wipe it down, and even unscrew the handle to clean the misc dust & debris from the motor and trigger area with a detail brush. I hope this helps extend the life of the tool.

Re: Who details their "detailer"?
Something happened to my bottle of 3D One, and it looks like some polish erupted our of the top - in the bag - all over the 7424, and the bottom of the bag. Top was in the closed position after I was done with it earlier.
So yeah, needless to say that one had to be cleaned up!
