Show Your Jacked-Up Rigged Detailing Stuff

[swanicyouth]

So, I came up with this idea and it may even help someone fix something. I'm a destroyer. I'm hard in everything. My stuff breaks. So, a lot of time I rig it up so I can still use it.

AirForce Blaster developed an air leak when it got a tiny dent. I think it fell. So, I got RTV and sealed up the whole thing air tight, including the "normal leaks" then I wrapped it all in electrical tape:



Hit the cord area too, as air leaks out of there. Also, knowing my luck, it would probably go bad eventually:



Looks bad, works good.

Here we have a classic. All of a sudden, the battery case cover wouldn't stay on my Brinkmann. Other than permanent Krazy Glueing it shut, it took me a whole 5 mins to come up with this one:



Then there is the foam pads that have de-laminated. I Krazy Glue the Velcro on and it seems to work fine. Don't worry, very careful not to get it on any area that touches paint:



Not so much a detailing tool, but I do use it to warm leather seats to dry CarPro Fabric & Leather. The cord to my Wagner heat gun has been burnt so many times I covered it in tape, then Krazy Glued the ends so it doesn't unravel.



Basically, I buy a lot of Krazy Glue. When it comes to KG, I find the cheap 4 tubes for 99 cents generic stuff works just as good as the stuff that's $3.99 a tube. Just an FYI

Nice fixes.

The only mods/fixes that I can remember off the top of my head are....
I fixed a 25ft extension cable to my blaster sidekick
Installed Velcro strips to my flex and pc power cords
A split washer for the flex blacking plate

Swivels now, and doesn't ever fall over...

Nice. They should call the AirForce Blaster the AirForce Tumbler, as its almost impossible to use the thing without it flipping over. I turned mine into a handheld unit with a manageable hose.

Tadd, I like that. I keep mine on a cart.

My homemade two bucket dolly....

Used a moving dolly and a plastic tote lid along with two 5 gallon buckets cut to secure wash/rinse buckets to cart.



These holes drilled in the bottom allows any water to drain and prevents the buckets from creating a "vaccum" when taking them out of the cart.
