    YouTube video: a movie theater in my home !!

    That's a dam sweet set up you have there. I have a projector in my living room as my main TV in there. I bought a used Acer 720p Projector on ebay by accident (I took a stab at the starting bid of 199.99 shipped). It looked almost new in the box when I received it. When I turned it on the lamp...

    Tornado Red MK7 VW GTI detailing done, not satisfied with the outcome?

    I actually did a new red jetta the other day in the same color. Using megs D 300 / 302 I was able to make a scratched / swirled / sapped roof / hood / trunk near perfect, and then 301 the entire car in under an hour.

    Would you have this fixed? Wait??

    oh dam, yea, 100% take that BS in. I'm sure they have a qualified shop to handle it. Don't be afraid to refuse it if you're not happy after it's done.

    Any landlords

    Opportunity for a tile upgrade. Take the remaining good boards from the bathroom as replacements in the kitchen. Replace the bathroom floor with 1/4" hardiboard + tile. Make sure to double up on the toilet wax ring when you set it this time. No matter who was living there you'd probably never...

    Product dried on pads - bear to remove now

    I will let mine soak in what ever all purpose cleaner is closest to me at the time, and then use my pressure washer from like 24"+ away on the stuff that's real bad.

    Tornado Red MK7 VW GTI detailing done, not satisfied with the outcome?

    My experience with the new VW's has been the opposite. Normally on the softer side, 4-6/10 tops, very manageable.

    Fire truck price!!

    I just took 9 trucks + 1 ambulance = 10 x 2 days each = 20 + 1 day each tahoe = 22 days x $250 a day = $5500 Give it a variance of 2 days either way , and you come up with 5000-6000 in about 4 weeks. I've never done a fire truck though, it could take 3+ days each truck. A plane detailer might...

    Who makes the best black wax?

    What negates the first part is the old adage "The customer is always right". What negates the second part is that I'm here doing R&D to obtain knowledge, and hands on experience. Also how can the GP be wrong about something as subjective as the perception of what looks better? Also, the dodo...

    Fire truck price!!

    I'm going to guess that this falls in the $5000-$6000 mark before it's all said and done, and takes 4 business weeks for 1 guy.

    Who makes the best black wax?

    I've had multiple people ask me if I have black wax. I want to be able to apply said "black wax" when asked. I want a product that I can stand behind that I've personally tested * and approve of * before I apply it. Some of the general public has the opinion of * right or wrong * marketing...
