    Godaddy social - anyone use it?

    OK so you don’t like social media but you’re not willing to use it as a tool to grow and expand your business?

    Undercarriage protection question

    Whatever you put on there to “protect it“ will need to be washed off anyhow so personally I will just plan on putting it up on ramps and cleaning it thoroughly after I get home Anything else will just make a mess that requires cleaning anyhow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cordless polishers

    If you had a cord to tether to a backpack or belt doesn’t that defeat the whole “cordless” thing? Be better off just plugging it into the wall at that point and not dealing with wearing the battery Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
