So the other day my old man asked to see what i could do with his highly neglected 1999 black Toyota 4Runner which he initially took great care of until 15 years ago when he had a knee replaced. Since then it's been parked outside not far from the pacific ocean so on windy days you can taste the...
Detailed my Audi earlier today. It's a 2010 with 50k miles. Thankfully i no longer commute to LA so both this car and my 2007 Evolution 9 which i recently sold had very few miles on them. The Evo was a beast and was used mostly for track weekends. Took it to a dragstrip once and did a 11.2 1/4...
Today got everything ready for a full detailing which i'll be starting in the morning early. I'm planning on giving my Audi a thorough washing, compounding\polishing with M105 and M205, and an IPA wipe down. Before sealing things up, i was going to get out my fine line tool and touch up a few...
I recently treated all the leather in my 2010 Audi with something a bit different. It's a product called "Leather Honey". While i wouldn't use this product on new leather, this car is older and the leather needed softening and this stuff really did the trick. It's a lot of work to apply since it...
I'm with Mike on this. You can't go wrong with the Porter Cable 7424XP. I bought mine probably 15 years ago an it's still going strong even though its fallen off step ladders countless times and even survived being borrowed by my brother who is one of those guys you NEVER loan tools to. lol.
Just so everyone understands this, don't cheap out and buy the "brass" quick connects found at places like Home Depot. They are NOT solid brass and it doesn't take long for a little phenomena called 'galvanic corrosion' to not just ruin your quick connect, but your hose nozzle as well...
Most products designed for black plastic trim work for only a very short period of time and add very little if any UV protection. The exception to this would be some of the ceramic coatings which are closer to a wipe-on clear coat than something that removes/cleans oxidation and (my favorite...
So whoever it was at Porter Cable who thought it was a good idea to use two different systems of measurement on the same machine (7424xp)... i can only hope a flock of pelicans finds his car and does what they do best. lol. 3 trips to the hardware store after first buying some 5/16-24 stainless...
Being completely unfamiliar with the term Jeweling when it comes to the art of auto detailing, I am quite pleased to see that it has absolutely nothing in common with the jeweling i'm familiar with, in Gunsmithing. In fact, its basically the exact opposite.
Today was one of those days where I just should have stayed in bed. I twas my day off, got up early to give my 2010 Audi A4 a compound/polish/wax before it got too warm out and just as I finished compounding half the car, my old Lake Country 5" backing plate decided to separate the top from the...
There isn't a chance in hell you'd be happy with the results, especially when you discover you've made things 10x worse by spraying lacquer on top of Urethane base paint. You can put urethane on top of lacquer, but not the other way around.
So wait... lemme get this straight. It's AR's fault for you not checking to make sure the foam gun would fit? Attachments differ between brands and between gas and electric models.If you didn't know that, that's your fault.
Just like the other guy... you blame your own ignorance on anyone and...
So let me get this straight...
...you complain about "proprietary" connections even though you should have already known about them if you just looked at the product.
... you complain about the leaky hose connection that YOU broke, but if you had actually spent 2 minutes to research a product...
Excellent video, i've been wanting to see the gun in action. I've been using pressure washers for over 10 years on my various cars as do quite a few of my friends but I've never came across anyone with one of these. I'm guessing they're pretty much a mandatory item to have in parts of the...
