    How do you guys stay comfortable?

    One apprehension I always have about detailing is how uncomfortable it can get at times. This past weekend I decided to start a fairly in depth detail of my Mustang, and I realized I didn't have a stool to roll around on. So I ran to Lowes and decided to invest in China and picked up a Kobalt rolling stool. Man I am glad I bought this thing, because now I get to go and buy a new, GOOD one at some future point in my life. I tend to just use a thick sweatshirt folded up under me bum and sit on the concrete instead.

    So lets hear it, what are some of your tricks to keep the discomfort subdued?

    Not sure about the beer, never been a fan. Think Mikes Hard Lemonade would suffice?

    The yoga isn't bad, not sure I could hold a buffer and do the downward dog at the same time though...

    10-4 on that. GET UP and walk about for a moment. Trying to prove you're tough guy can result in major problems.

    Kneeling pad, Harbor Freight rolling stool, milkcrates, tv or radio on, Gatorade, and my trusty dog at my side.

    Im hardcore old school - knees on pavement, polish while bent over, tippy toe polishing type of guy. Now I just hired a guy that is bringing a floral pillow to use for his knees :/ (he's 24) - with that said, I have no idea what to do . He is a great worker that brings a floral pillow to work - Do I let him go? Do I ask him to get a more manly pillow? Or do I change our company's slogan to "B & B, the softest detailers in middle TN!" LOL - and deep down I know this man is smarter than me by bringing the pillow lol!
