    Tonneau cover protectant applicator

    After seeing these suggestions, I'm going to give the paint pad a shot. Probably two paint pads, one for applying and one for buffing. Possibly modify the one for buffing with a microfiber towel. I'm most definitely going to borrow and destroy one of my friend's Swiffer WetJets, and try...

    Tonneau cover protectant applicator

    It isn't just the overspray that I'm trying to avoid. I need something that's going to give me some reach. Even though it's lowered, it still is a long way to the middle of a full size Chevy pickup's bed. And the less that I have to lean up against it, the fewer opportunities I have to scratch...

    Tonneau cover protectant applicator

    I didn't know they made a 4 terawatt Swiffer ! Where do you get those? Did CERN have a garage, er...laboratory sale? j/k I like the way that you think, Bob! (aka FUNX725) I've a WetJet that I use in the house, and I'm familiar with how the spray nozzle isn't exactly a precision device. I was...

    Tonneau cover protectant applicator

    (Hint: add the paint pad instead.) I'm not normally confounded by posting photos in forums, but wow.....not even a simple "add URL of picture here" was helping me that time. I had a bad feeling that last time I painted in an unventilated room, I took about 12 IQ points right off the top. Now I...

    Tonneau cover protectant applicator

    I like your idea of the paint pad rather than roller, ZimRandy. It would have better product control, and still give me the ability to add a longer handle to it so I'd have good reach. I'll be honest, outside of this forum, (i.e. IRL) you shant be getting any credit for this idea. :laughing:

    Tonneau cover protectant applicator

    I've a 1975 Chevy longbed pickup with a vinyl tonneau cover. Over the years, I've not found a good way to apply protectant to it. Earlier today I had a (hopefully) brilliant idea! Use a paint roller, on the end of an extension pole. Wide, consistently sized row of protectant with each pass. No...

    Winter wash dilemma, need suggestions

    You said your garage doesn't have a drain inside, so you can't wash it in there, but do you have a driveway that you're able to use for car washing? (I've lived places that prohibited that sort of thing.) When faced with this problem myself in the past, I've dressed in my winter gear, (Thermals...
