    Big roofs

    I use a Werner platform from Lowe's. It's a little over 4 feet long, 20 inches tall and about 15 inches or so wide to stand on. The legs fold up for storage. With that said, I'm 5'11" and still have to get on my tippy toes to reach the middle.

    Review: Montana 10" Boars Hair Brush - Does It Scratch?

    Great review! Methodical and honest. You gave the brush every opportunity to scratch and tried to make it so. I think a lot of folks dismiss it out of hand because it because it's a brush. I've been eyeing this brush for some time. My Suburban has a lot of real estate up top (everywhere for that...

    Vinegar?

    It can be used on the outside of the glass for water spots.

    My first DA detail - 2006 Mustang GT - advice welcome

    It really came back after four years without wax. Looks like it's coming along real good. Stay on top of it and you will never have to work that hard again. I hear ya on the pollen. I washed mine Sun. afternoon, and when I went to get in on Mon. I had to run the windshield washer just to see. :(

    Would you buy this to detail in?

    "Good on gas" is subject to interpretation. Anything over 10 or so around town is "good on gas". It is definitely a PIG. I had one about that same year. Loved it. Hauled five kids in it. As far as image, it depends on the clientele you're going for. If you do a lot of classics and hot rods, I...

    How to Finish Garage Walls

    You could use FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) panels. They come in sheets. The ones I've seen are white with a bumpy, textured finish, very glossy. Kinda pricey, but you could wash with a hose and detergent. Or like WAXOFF said paint. Use semi-gloss and it will be easier to clean and more...

    3500 Year Old Tree Burns Down

    I know this is old news (Jan 16, 2013). I just read an article about it. Some DUMB A$$ meth head burned down the Senator Tree in Orlando! The tree was about 3400-3600 years old! This stupid meth head went inside the tree to do her meth and caught it on fire! WTF??!:rant: Woman arrested for...

    Prima Epic + 13 yr old truck =

    You expect new cars and exotics to look pristine and glossy. But to see regular everyday vehicles pristine and glossy gets my vote anytime. Great job!

    Handeling New Helper´s missing a Day at the shop

    :iagree: I used to have a small business some years back. No more than 10-12 employees. It is very difficult to find someone who will treat your business the way you treat it. They just don't care. If/when you find a good one, pay them well and treat them well. When I got out, I said never...

    Detailed: 2012 BMW F30 328i - Alpine White

    The car looks great. It's hard to do impressive with white. When you nail it, you nail it! You can't beat white done right!

    Interior 2002 Suburban

    It really doesn't get all that dirty in between cleanings. I wanted something mild. For this it seemed to work rather well. Some of the rear cup holders had some spillage that needed a stronger cleaner. For those I used the Zep Citrus.

    How To Keep Your Car Looking Its Best Using Alternative Ways To Traditional Washing

    Very nice article. I've been rinseless (ONR, GDM) since Jan, '13. I tried the Megs Wash 'n Wax Anywhere. It just didn't seem cost effective for me. I used approx. 3/4 of a bottle on my Suburban. I figured I could go to the Lazer wash for about the same money. I love rinseless washes. I use...

    Interior 2002 Suburban

    I just wanted to freshen up the interior in between rain showers. It didn't need a really deep clean, on the other hand, it was too dirty to live with. Process and Products Interior was thoroughly vacuumed. Floor mats removed and lightly sprayed with Folex to remove red mud. All interior...
