most of the stuff were just things lying around the house. you might find one at cosco or any of those discount stores. bolting on a flexible plastic ridge will work. np, glad to help

i am, thank you. it Is electrical. i've used it 24/7 to pump water up to an overhead aquarium filter when i was a kid. most of the time my arms are underwater setting up the ~100 gallon aquarium while these pumps are running. it can simply be plugged on a socket with a switch or a gfci. i...

aren't you guys gonna try an aquarium pump? mine's still working. it doesn't have a lid since there's no splashing outside the bucket.

very late reply.. i missed that sale. anyway it's too bulky and costly to ship halfway 'round the world. I do see the value of the commercial pad cleaners especially if they're gonna be used regularly. i'm just glad i'd thought of this one. I mean, I was able to make more just for...

easily with this http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-tools-accessories/32608-indiej-s-pad-washer.html because something complicated will make you apprehensive and avoid the process altogether. HTH

yes, dawn. rinsing it with running water in a pad cleaner is a cinch. ok for cleaning on the fly or for storage.

most of these pw bottles for foaming are far from the snow foaming that you would want. post a pic so people can help.

those are the reasons for this :whs: toss it like a pizza dough.

outside the bucket you say :) ... some of you guys may not have come across this: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-tools-accessories/32608-indiej-s-pad-washer.html i've tweaked this some but you could do with just a 4 gallon/16 liter pail with a little catch near the top...

Richy, can we do the same for the applicator? this one might be more frugal than parsimonious you. thanks for the tip :dblthumb2: i did throw everything immediately in a pail of medium dishwashing solution last time, washed, stored and never touched them since.

way to go with the power efficient LED. there is a way to find swirls with different light sources. it is harder to find swirls in a well maintained car but it's more pain to see those spiderweb swirls on your car :) i'd like to find power efficient lights that are similarly capable like...

:) i just don't have that space. i'll try to make one although it's a lot for someone who does this only for one's self (not a biz). i take you have a wide garage where you can prop the halogens for away enough not to flood the panels with their light. since the light from source should...

for light colored surfaces, it's about getting an intense reflection of the light source and as little light thrown by it on the side so if you move the light source away, the light thrown does not reach the surface as much, easier to see the swirls. i need the proper lighting terms/words. i...

hi avi, good news then. Richie, what soap did you use? how was the MF towels on cars without CQ? i was able to use just 1 - $1 20"x12" MF for buffing and set aside my MF bonnets for buffing wax. not gonna risk it.

at 1500psi it would work, it wouldn't be too weak. don't chase the rated pressure because that may be the limit for that foam cannon. after which it may fly towards your car or become a part of you. the quick disconnects will be different for every type of PW gun. i refer you to the...
