    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.

    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.

    -But this is the first time I’ve ever heard
    of Polishers referred to as “detailers”.


    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.

    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!
