Contact Steve Clingan at Vapor Systems LLC, (US distributors of the VX5000) 1-888-831-4744 or vaporsystemsllc@att.net. They repaired my leaking VX5000 and it works like new. The cost was about $300...

Does anyone use steam to clean a leather covered steering wheel? It seems to me that using a cleaner/conditioner will make the steering wheel slippery, or sticky.

Cyclo makes a 12A pneumatic version of their classic model 5 polisher. As jdsmith stated, you need a substantial air compressor, something you'd find in a shop. However, you can't bog this unit down...

Wearing bi-focals.

Have you asked a body shop what they would charge for the repair using conventional body shop techniques?

I'd use that as a reference point, not what other PDR techs would charge, or what people...

What a sweet ride and equally sweet detail! How long did it take?

In Russia, it's illegal to drive a dirty car. Maybe we need a law like this?

I bought a bottle of Collinite 845, opened the bottle, then put it away. A few months later, I was going to use the wax on my car, only to find the cap didn't seal the bottle very well. Now it's a...

How many overbook appointments, like the airlines do (they tend to overbook flights by 10-20%)?

PayPal has a card reader. That's what I use.

I used Meguiar's Quick Detailer that came with their clay-bar kit. The first thing that hit me between my eyes was the odor which gave me a mind s-p-l-i-t-t-i-n-g headache. Has anyone else...

I've restored headlights using the GG 3" mini polisher with sanding disks and polishing pads. The downside is the product sling and dusting from the sanding. I'll spend another 15 minutes just...

The inrush surge current can be up to 100x the "steady-state" current rating meaning the motor can try to initially draw 150A for 1/2 cycle, thus tripping the breaker. One thing that can help tame...

Compressor motors have a substantial "initial surge current" requirement. Have you ever noticed your lights dimming when the refrigerator or freezer starts up? That's the initial surge current on...

In the Midwest, car battery life is usually about 5-6 years. In the desert Southwest you're lucky to get 2 years.

A in-car jumpstarter like this one should keep you out of trouble, unless the...

I'd add a 2-post lift. They're not all that expensive, around $1500. Atlas® BP8000 Baseplate 8,000 lbs. Capacity 2 Post Lift | Greg Smith Equipment Sales, Inc.

My first polisher was the Cyclo 5 Pro. I chose that model over the Flex and PC's for two primary reasons: The Cyclo is Made in USA; and it has virtually no vibration, unlike the PC. I've been to the...

$50/lap in an exotic car like a Lamborghini? Not bad.

I like to use Optimum No Rinse and Shine. If I don't have ONR, I like Stoner's Invisible Glass aerosol as I find the application works better for me than the spray bottle.

Dittos on using a decent...

I agree. The police have guns, handcuffs and alternate living quarters complete with roommates.

I'd check with the landowner first, not the tenant, regarding car servicing on their...

I detailed at a local auto auction a couple of years ago and I wore a mf towel over my belt buckle to prevent scratches. I was aware that metal buckle can poke through the towel so I kept that in...

I noticed you use multiple steps between washing, claying and using Iron-X. Have you tried using CarPro's Snow Soap with a Nanoskin AutoScrub Wash Mitt at the same time? Would that cut time and end...

Are there any microfiber kits for the Cyclo? I don't want to spend another $200-$400 for a machine just to use MF pads -- it's not in my budget.

Would it make sense to cut the Meguiar's 5" MF pad...

Maybe it's the UV inhibitors in the ONR? Maybe you found a new use for ONR?

I once upon a time fancied a career in astronomy, but you're nobody unless you have multiple degrees -- at least one if not more PhD's -- or discovered something. Astronomy is one of the few sciences...
