I use the Metro Blaster wall hanger for the vacuum, but the hose is hung above it on one of those common wall mount half circle sheet metal hangers for garden hoses. The Metro Blaster hose hanger is pretty worthless.

Google Autoglym bird dropping. Their research found that it isn't the uric acid in bird droppings that ruins clearcoat. It's the heaing and cooling cycles and temperature differential if you don't clean it off. You may or may not believe it but an interesting read.

I use the Milwaukee M12 LED bar. Love it.

I used Optimum Tire Protection on a new set of tires, and it was terrible, had to painfully remove it. Same tires, 2,000 miles later, it worked great. I clean them until pure white foam shows on the tire. Like 5 or 6 rounds of cleaning with Power Clean and a power scrub brush. I've also...

I clean running boards using an APC of choice like Power Clean or Meguiars diluted 10 to 1 and a rotary polisher with a soft brush. I've tried multiple tire and rubber dressings (Meguiar's CarPro PERL), including using Solution Finish, Weathertech Floormat dressing, and McKee's Floor Mat...

Wish the wheels were larger. That won't roll around well on my concrete driveway. Wheels will jam in the expansion joints.

Bought a Scion IQ to restore, and I'll need to replace the clear plastic cover for the speedometer and tachometer gauges which was damaged by the previous owner. Any benefit to coating the new clear plastic cover before I install it? I have Meguiar's Headlight Protectant and Gyeon CanCoat...

Tuff Shine Tire Cleaner and Optimum Power Clean are the only two products I've found that will completely clean brushes that are used on tires. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Yes, the Flairsol sprayers. You can spray directly on the tire and just walk away, but I find I'm most accurate by spraying on the brush and applying. No dripping on the tire that way. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I use the same brush as recommended by Eldorado2k, but I now use one of those beauty supply spray bottles to load the brush, instead of a standard pump sprayer. They pump a super-fine mist and one spray will do a car tire without any dripping of the dressing.

I've had mine for a couple of years. I've only used the tapered cone tip because it's the most concentrated. If they made a 12HP model I would use that :) All my vehicles are coated and regularly topped with a sealant (Gyeon Cure, Hyper-Seal or Beadmaker) and still the water doesn't move as...

Do you think the CBEAST will ship in 2019 Mike?

I use these as my general shop towels and love them. Plush towels don't scrub as well as these terry weaves. I soak them before washing and they clean up great.

Yes, I've done two vehicles this way. A couple of panels at a time, correction and then apply a coating.

If water spot removers aren't working, I would try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser first (followed by your favorite trim restorer), and if that didn't work, a heat gun used carefully. Solution Finish is the best trim blackener I've ever used, but I would try to remove the spots before using it.
