Of note, I tried a way to dry my pads quickly over the weekend. Air fluff in my dryer on the drying rack. Just blows room temp airnover them. 45 minutes later all 6 pads I had in there were dry. Even put them back on the rotary at full speed to see if any water would fly off, nothing.

Firecrackers. Don't have to shoot em. Just toss a few out the door when you see the birds. About a 10 shot should be enough to scare them off.

I'm quite familiar with the story, anyone that's in my industry should be. I actually remember it first from WKRP when they did the episode on it. It's tragic. And it still happens on occasion. The last time I remember something similar was a festival in Europe about 8 years ago or so where a...

Ok well I'll give it a shot. I seen your blackfire review after this thread. So it gives me a bit of hope. I'm not going the Flex route yet but one of my clients has a rather large set of brass this may require it (I'm designing something now to hold the cymbals in place while polishing before...

Mike thank you. The PNS looks interesting and easy enough to apply that my colleagues could use it without much though. That being said what would you recommend for cleaning after application? Some of the cleaners and such in our industry are snake oil, and many are harsh. A lot of them I...

I've played that place twice. Both times that floor is back to GA seating. For years though that was never the case in Cincy. We'll see what happens, and how quick it all goes back to complacency.

Wolfgang MetallWerk™ Concours Metal Sealant or something else over brass? Ok so to continue on with making my professional life easier, I'm curious about this metal sealant and if it will work on Brass. Per the description it says: The water-based, acrylic formula is completely safe and...

So just did a full polish over the weekend on my Outlander, after a long hiatus from doing details (life get's busy, and my travel schedule doesn't give me much time at home). I used an old bottle of Menzerna P106FA (Superfinish) from at least 11 years ago (I've been planning this for a couple...

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I have a feeling the Darwin Awards this year are going to have a tough time picking winners.

I'm one of the lucky few in the music industry. Wife works for our state (fraud and enforcement investigator, don't talk about shady ####, I have to tell her if I see it), and is working from home. I'm on unemployment, and between the state, and federal that just hit, I'm making pretty decent...

I've been away from detailing for a long time, so I can't compare to other products. But it worked ok. I'm sure on a properly maintained and cleaned vehicle it would be an easy spray, soft scrub, and rinse. On my Outlander though, it's a different story. I travel a lot for work (think...

Cool. I'll see if I can get him to send a printed sample over, and then i'll put it through the ringer for dirt and such after a coat of Opti-coat. Just wipe on and walk away right? I actually have some Isopar here as it's a great solvent but I wouldn't use it on paint. Did it once cause I...

Talking to my wrap guy, he does a lot for Tama and other artists too (He's done the last couple Anthrax kits, the Starbucks inspired, and the purple pentagram kit). Tama clear coats over those after a they install. So with that being said, what product do you think would work to hold up to a...

Something a little different Ok so something a little different from paint protection on a vehicle. I need to find something that works good for a vinyl wrap. And this is gonna be kinda specific. I've used some of the products here in the past with great success in the music world of...

So I used my DIY Scrubber yesterday after getting some tire and wheel cleaner. It worked pretty well. So what I did was made up a bucket of soapy water with the Griots Foaming Surface Wash and threw my wheel brushes in there. I used the scrubber on my 18v drill full torque on low speed as it...

Cordless only not to worry. I've been zapped by water on a metal drum riser before, don't want to feel that again. I'd put it worse than actually being set on fire (part of the show at that time).

So being bored, and after reading a few things, Mike's review of the Mighty Mini Polisher (tire scrubber) got me thinking. I made a brush attachment a few years ago for my drill to scrub some stubborn grout lines. So wondered if I could adapt it for cleaning old tire dressing and such off my...

Uhhhh, where's this, asking for a, well ####, for me. I need to get my med card here yet...

I just use regular ole Optimum No Rinse works pretty well for must stuff. Just used it for a rinseless wash on my engine bay and it removed most dirt and grime. Some stuff needed a stiff brush but that broke ugh.

Perfect. Between the Total swirl remover and this. Good on polish then. Even have an old bottle of XMT#4 that I won years ago. Never used it though. Never had anything that messed up.
