    My hat is off to you guys who do this for a living

    Try two cars and three RVs every week, 7 days a week with no days off for 3 weeks. The trucks that are running me over making more soar are getting bigger and bigger. I'm 56 years old, but like the poster above stated, you have to stay in shape by working out a few days a week, plus waxing...

    PC 7424xp problem

    OK... my 7424xp was getting to the point where it would not run at lower speeds, and then it would just cut off. If I let it set for a bit then it would kick back on, but only for a few seconds. Replaced the Speed control switch and it seems to be running fine now. I haven't taken out for an...

    Buff magic (use) question

    There are several videos on you tube which are well worth the visit. Try using very little product as you'll see in some of the videos. Start out at a low setting such as 1.5 or 2. There is no need to apply much pressure as you're letting the machine do all the work. If it starts hop'n, then try...

    PC 7424xp problem

    I know this post is old, but would like to know if, by replacing this speed control switch fixed the problem. I hate it when a post goes dead without any follow up. My PC is doing the same thing and will be replacing the part. Certainly would be nice to know before hand if it was the speed control.

    should i buy the VX5000?

    Yes, 3 years parts/labor on both of these units and lifetime on the boiler. I'm not sure I would go with the higher unit because it's priced out of my budget for now. The lower unit seems better for what I do as I am Mobile only.

    should i buy the VX5000?

    Make sure that the only two buttons that are on (on top of the machine) is your heat and spray. The other button is for for hot water, I rarely ever use that button. On your handle is also an low pressure and high pressure. For high pressure both buttons should be in the up position. For low...

    should i buy the VX5000?

    I had a similar situation with shipping. Apparently these units are shipped from Italy and when I ordered mine, steve told me that one of his guys forgot to inventory correctly and he didn't realize that they were all out. I have had some issues with mine... stopped completely working one day...

    What do you pros use to remove glue behind Decals??

    Goof Off - not Goo Gone. There's a big difference. Goof Off will rid tar, tree sap, and even left over glue with ease.

    Portable detailing canopy. Who has em.

    I have a 10'x10'... it's too short due to the sun's angle at times. I would much rather have a 10'x15'. Much of the problem is the windy days. You certainly don't want this thing blowing into the side of any vehicle. A good gust of wind can easily turn your tent into a hand-glider within...

    Portable detailing canopy. Who has em.

    Grab the inner angles closest to the center and while pulling apart, drag the tent back slightly. This will open the tent some so you can now get underneath the tent. Find the center post and slowly push up until the tent opens. Now you can work one leg at a time. Always try setting up so you...

    Giveaway! Flex Changeable Backing Plate System

    I have both, the Porter Cable 7424 and the Flex 3401. After a day of using the PC my hands get numb and my arms hurt. The Flex is a very smooth running machine with little to no vibration. Due to its smooth yet powerful operation, this machine can run all day, and so can the operator.

    My achin' back.......

    I am 56 and I have a full time mobile detailing business. I work from 8am to 5pm, sometimes 7 days a week. I have been detailing 40 foot RVs most of the season... getting up on the roofs, polishing rims, standing on a ladder and scaffolding much of the day. I have serious back issues - I have...
