RUPES Giveaway! Autographed RUPES 21 Mark II Up For Grabs!

I've decided to shift my business model to shoe polishing. I did the math, every customer shows up with one car, but they show up with two shoes! For the mobile guys, they may have two or three cars in the garage, but an entire closet full of shoes. The numbers are even more staggering when you find the customers that like to stay on trend with their footwear.

Ivan was my first customer.

Gave this the old Number 7 rubdown Friday, and just finished with M205. Which sealant? I'm thinking Hydro2. Blackfire Wet Diamond Metal Sealant on the hardware.

The PC 7424 is still going strong, despite the heat.

Everybody has their favorite mementos of loved ones passed. Growing up as the son of a mechanic who taught me all about using tools and auto repair, mine is my late father's 50's era Snap-On center drawer section, stacked between my 80's top and bottom cabinet. Still getting regular use in my home garage, I devote some time on Father's day to freshen the thing up a bit:

Hardware polished and reinstalled.
I can't and won't undo almost 60 years of patina, but at least it's clean:

Polishing up my RUPES keychain using RUPES' Ultra Fine Polish while reading my favorite forum:



All done and looking sharp!



If only I had a RUPES LHR 21 M II Big Foot signed by Nick, Mike, and Dylan to use for future detailing projects - large and super small!!
 
I wanted to make my faucet and shower head shine.

Crazy thing is I've done this before several times lol. Sometimes I'll use Klasse AIO.





 
Here's my entry: It's an old pedal car that my cousin bought for my niece. Except it's been sitting in his garage collecting dust for a few years so I figured I could bring some life back to it.

The 1st thing I did was give it a thorough waterless wash with Megs D114.

Next up was restoring some shine to all the chrome bits on this pedal car, starting with the bumper, which was in pretty bad shape.

The long throw of the Rupes 21 is supposed to be great for large panels right? I think I have the perfect application for it. Probably one of the largest garage/barn queens around. Don't get me wrong, the Mini is an amazing tool, but I think it might be in a little over its head on this one. There is also a BIG green tractor that could use a good polishing. I don't think I'm going to dress the tires though. lol
