    Porsche 911 one step

    Thanks! Luckily the spokes were small enough to allow me to reach pretty much the whole wheel. Took me about 1.5-2 hours to get them clean. I'll post a before photo of the wheels next time I have a chance. The griots HD cleaned up the spokes great, but the barrels needed spray and rinse even...

    Porsche 911 one step

    Some pictures from my job today. A single step correction on this dark blue Porsche 911. The roof had some pretty bad scratches and the owner decided to have me 2-step the roof. The hood was also replaced a couple years ago and it quickly became obvious that the paint used on the hood was much...

    Looking for a sun friendly ceramic coating

    IMO, coatings require too controlled of an environment to be able to apply them outside. Switching over to the non spray type coatings will probably result in other issues like high spots that cure faster than you can level them. Are you at least doing this in the shade? I wouldn't dare try to...

    Topping an all in one with a second product...?

    For what it's worth, I have topped HD speed with Poxy before and after 2 months on a well kept daily driver the protection was all but gone. Was less than impressed with the potentially added benefit of tipping speed with poxy

    Suggestions on cleaning really dirty carpets with pictures!

    Funny to see this thread as I started the thread over on the other site. 2 main issues with his process. One being the amount of fluid dumped into the carpet. Already discussed. 2nd being the lack of any rinsing to remove the chemical from the carpet. Sure he says he "drys" it. But nobody can...

    Looking for best carpet extractor solution

    I run just water thru my extractor. Its much more effective to spray your cleaner of choice on your carpet/upholstery and allow it to dwell for anywhere from 5-10 minutes, then extract. That being said, Im currently using a cleaner called eco green that has been very effective for me. Mixes...

    Trashed grounds maintenance truck

    Well, I get it though. The truck served a purpose. My friend has a business to run and maintaining the truck isn't going to do anything more than hurt his bottom line. Sure it could of used a vacuum here or there but with the abuse that truck went through, if he went back to using it (it's...

    Trashed grounds maintenance truck

    Ive liked it. It works great and leaves a nice satin finish IF you buff it a few minutes after application. Not buffing leaves more of a semi gloss finish (yuck). Im on my last spray bottle refill from the gallon I purchased well over a year ago and actually have a gallon of 303 on the way...

    Review and how-to: Vapor Chief Steam Cleaners by Mike Phillips

    If im not mistaken they use some type of electrical current which goes thru the water to monitor the level in the boiler. Distilled water is not conductive, tap water is, and therefore the machine would probably assume the boiler is empty and wouldn't heat up if filled with distilled water. I...

    Website help along with SEO

    I don't know too much about SEO but I do know that search engine look at the page title first, then the page description. So your google terms you want to show up for, should be included in your page title AND your page description. I'm unfamiliar with Wordpress and godaddy, personally I use...

    Trashed grounds maintenance truck

    Works great, smells great. Can't ask for much more. I work in direct sunlight all the time so the fact that it's made for that is excellent.

    Trashed grounds maintenance truck

    Thanks! No, he's already listed it for sale and I wouldn't be surprised if it's already gone. It was a GMC 3500 converted to a dump truck. Not exactly anything that could really benefit from a proper detail anyway.

    Trashed grounds maintenance truck

    Heh, I was well aware of it. I do appreciate the criticism tho! he came out and put some mulch down for me and trimmed all the bushes in my yard in exchange for me cleaning his truck. So no money was involved. I was 4 hours into the job and was out of time and couldn't keep chasing the small...
