    Post your vacuum cleaner

    I have a the Ridgid 6 gal 3.5hp and I hate it. I don't use it for car cleaning, mainly garage stuff. I used it in my old house while remodeling and its crazy loud, and really doesn't clean well enough for how cumbersome it is. Now that I'm in a new house, its more in the way than anything. I'd...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    What do you use to clean it before topping? I'm using the store bought-bathroom specific cleaners, and they arent cutting through the hard water spots. It's not a copper sink though...if that matters.

    *Your first car*

    96 Explorer XLT with the 5.0. My dad got this off his friend for $800. It ran great but it used to kill me in gas...some lady hit it while it was parked by the curb in front of our house and totaled it. I used to smoke my buddy in his dad's 04 Ram. Good times.

    Steal a Base - Steal a Taco

    It happened during the WS...When someone steals a base, Taco Bell gives away one free taco at a later date.

    Other hobbies or past times outside of detailing

    I’ve yet to make/try a French 75 but I’ve been meaning to. The wife doesn’t help me cook, but that’s ok. I’d much rather eat my food vs her cooking…lol Sent from my iPhone using AGOnline

    Other hobbies or past times outside of detailing

    You guys have some cool stuff going on outside of cleaning cars. I dabble a little in a lot of things, and tend to go in and out of them. Right now it's Watches, watching sports, video games (cold war currently), cooking dinner for my wife, trying new restaurants, and learning how to make...

    1.1 vs 1.25 Orifice for Foam Cannon

    Hit Dislike on accident. I haven't tried many of the store branded soaps. If the car is really dirty I typically use an APC 1:8 or 1:10 and spray it on the car dry. Let it sit for a couple mins and then foam over that. Normally my cars don't get that dirty and I rarely clean others' cars...

    1.1 vs 1.25 Orifice for Foam Cannon

    Right here with you, my local big box store had Gold glass 64oz bottles on sale for $6. I bought 4 of them and still had some at home lol. They also had the CG bucket bundles with the Mr. Pink, some dressing, and wheel cleaner on sale for half price. I bought 3 of those. I also have been...

    The Season of Discontent is upon us...

    I'm in North Texas, so I'm right here with you. Be lucky to rinse a car off after 9am in the spring time and get it dry without water spots. The mornings right now are awesome.

    Finally investing in my own polishing equipment.

    I was racking my brain on this for a couple weeks because I'm in the same situation you are. Recently watched Apex Detail's videos on polishing with body lotion, and then with water. The pads were more important than the polish/lubricant used. I bought Turtle Wax Pro 1 and Done. It seems to...

    The Season of Discontent is upon us...

    I keep all of my gallons, coatings, and things I don't use on a regular basis in a coat closet inside the house. RTUs, shampoos, etc. are in the cabinets in the garage.

    What's everyone's thoughts on the Covid-19 situation?

    My wife was in the same boat. Didn't want the vaccine, then she got Covid. It's supposedly worse for people with asthma, which she has. She pulled out of it after about 5 days with antibiotics, and received the antibodies. Now she wants to get the vaccine as soon as the time is up on the...
