Have an AR Blue 383. Been trouble free for 3 years. I only do 3 cars in the house plus 5 more from family members. PSI is one thing but GPM is just as important, in my opinion. My AR runs an MTM...
Thanks Mantilgh, exactly right.
Sorry buddy01, I wasn't real clear on that. Set the boards in front of the tires and leave about an inch or two of the outside edge of the tire where it won't be...
Waxing is fine on a high ender like your Tiffin or a Prevost, but careful when waxing the lower end units as most of the graphics are vinyl. Something like 303 has to be used so as not to dry out...
I bought a $12 HVLP spray gun from Harbor Freight. I set the compressor around 15psi and spray the tire. Gets into all the cracks and tread blocks pretty well. I tried tile sponges, flocked...
you may be thinking of a freshly painted car from a body shop??
those are the wash only with water after 30 and don't wax until 3 months kinda thing, or so I've heard. I had my daughters Civic rear...
Wow! jms493, you gave new meaning to the commercial, "they lived". Sounds like everyone's ok now?
What color are you getting on the new Subbie?? You should take your pics of the detailed one in a...
Very well done...especially for a 1st time. I don't know what tools you have, but another option:
1. Meguiars Ultimate Compound
2. DA polisher
3. orange pad
A few dots on a primed pad, set the...
I may have missed it but is this tool a direct drive, like the Flex? It seems reading "standard throw DA polishers" may have answered my question but I want to be sure. I own a Porter Cable, and...
Are you referring to when they begin to fade a bit? Mine are almost 5 years old and around the 3 year mark I noticed the drivers side wouldn't "bead" water after I cleaned it. The passenger mat...
Nice work!
Judging from the background, it looks like this bath was still a little chilly....
I'm in Atlanta and we aren't real familiar with that white stuff on the ground. I have a 2010 F150...
what about spray painting? If it's yours then prep with some 400grit paper and rattle can it. You can always wet sand it smooth.
Small enough area so you'd be the only one who knew.
Awesome job! I bet it didn't look that good when your customer picked it up new from the dealer. I like where you taught her something on the Wrangler clean up. I think the people we deal with...
I've had my PC for 2 years. I do my 2 cars, my folk's 2 cars and my sister's without a problem. That being said, as someone addressed in an earlier post,...
Just my $.02 but I don't like any bag for stowing/carrying any tool. I use plastic bins for every thing I own detailing wise and tool wise. I have this for detailing and different versions of it...
That's a lot of work. People see classic cars and the beauty but they don't see the hours upon hours of time, labor and love that goes into them. You have obviously spent the...
Remember, mph isn't what you should concentrate on. CFMs are what you want. Most commercial backpack blowers only blow around 150-160mph but have 1,000+ cfm. Where a "homeowner" model will say...
Welcome BrandonB. Yes, you have signed on with some of the best teachers around. Tons of information and questions answered all day. Best part is you get different peoples takes on the same...
Awesome job!
I just worked on my sister in law's silver Accord. Didn't turn out the way I wanted so I Googled "polishing silver cars". Should've known it would lead me here. I used some Megs...
Just to chime in on this:
I have an AR electric and a Honda/Cat gas. Love both of them in the right application. For instance, I wash out of my carport so as long as the car goes in carport it...
