    Possible use of Power Inverters for occasional Mobile Detailing power-source?

    Hi Kevin, THANKS for the post! This got me thinking actually, it doesn't seem hard whatsoever. A hundred bucks on a beefy dedicated battery, a few bucks on wiring and harness, and another hundred or two on the device itself. The whole concept has a lot of merit, and the nice thing is the vehicle...

    Possible use of Power Inverters for occasional Mobile Detailing power-source?

    Hey, thanks for asking. No, I have not... for two reasons. I was doing some research to see if this would be effective or a practical solution to a plaguing problem during our off months here in Ohio (where it is currently snowing - literally). Secondly, since our detail season only just began...

    Love Folex buuutttt.

    I totally understand the concept, as I've been a director of large companies before, but - getting 400% more... for LESS in some cases from various stores/websites, is crazy (but good for the customer)! :) I have a client appoint for an interior detail in two hours... and I kind of wish I had...

    Love Folex buuutttt.

    I'm antsy to use up the rest of my gallons of DP's pre-treatment I still have, to start using Folex. I've never once heard anything bad about it, which is crazy in the world of internet forums. Is it odd that AutoGeek doesn't carry the single most effective cleaner out there with an obsessed...

    Possible use of Power Inverters for occasional Mobile Detailing power-source?

    Thanks for the help guys! I'm positive this is doable, when/if the time comes, it would be an awesome, stealthy, and ingenious way to do things... and would also allow for other uses like camping trips etc, for a great power supply. Kudos for the awesome help and ideas!! :)

    McCulloch Steamer - Partial Review

    This is really nice and reassuring to see. A company that not only stands behind their products, but sends you a replacement, AND eventually decides to re-engineer their brush to make it less prone to melting. That's cool. I can't recall the name right now, but there's another steamer in the...

    **Random photos of anything... (that YOU have taken)**

    Your Vegas trip looks exactly like ours every year for SEMA or the Mr. Olympia!! Great trip, and Red Rock is always breathtaking. The Shelby HQ is always fun, but many years is hit-and-miss, since sometimes they refuse to take the tours into the actual factory, like something super secretive is...

    McCulloch Steamer - Partial Review

    Thanks a lot :) Between Home Depot and Amazon, there are way over 1,000 reviews total. Many people love this thing, but a lot of people are angry about the nylon bristles literally melting, and some people said it was so useless they got better results using oxyclean and a toothbrush on...

    Possible use of Power Inverters for occasional Mobile Detailing power-source?

    UPDATE: Just found out exact specs! Dyson's 11amp motor uses 120 volts, so the calculation was possible from there: 1,320 watts I'm attaching a screen-shot of the exact calculations in this post... so, I guess all I need is an inverter than can produce a MINIMUM of 1,320 watts, and to be...

    Possible use of Power Inverters for occasional Mobile Detailing power-source?

    Absolutely awesome post, thank you! :) You really seem to know a lot about this, and your reasoning and advice seems really solid. Actually, I know some guys who are amazing with cars, and would know how to mount this kind of system I'm sure. With the installation hardware, the inverter itself...

    Possible use of Power Inverters for occasional Mobile Detailing power-source?

    According to Dyson.com... their DC25, uses an 11amp motor I'm not sure if amps can be translated directly into current draw based on wattage... but if you're 1,000 inverter can't power a larger wet/dry vac, I can't imagine it would power this. So, a 2,000watt inverter would be around $300, and...

    Possible use of Power Inverters for occasional Mobile Detailing power-source?

    Interesting, if that's true, maybe it would be better to buy the generator, which would use less gas I assume than simply leaving my vehicle running of course. I was going based off of the product's description on Amazon, which, now that I actually read it, says this unit can "surge" up to...

    Possible use of Power Inverters for occasional Mobile Detailing power-source?

    Looks GREAT Mike! Thanks for sharing :) This idea just came to me about a month ago - and really got me thinking. Because, if this could power a buffer and a wet/dry vac... or even just the wet/dry vac or a Dyson (which is what we use 85% of the time now while detailing, because even the...

    McCulloch Steamer - Partial Review

    Great info, thanks. I didn't go back and review the August posts, but you're right you listed the warm-up times, which aren't too bad. I was wondering if anything had changed with continued usage, hopefully the product is holding up well and still like new for you. If you're melting...

    McCulloch Steamer - Partial Review

    Thanks!! Would you please speak on just the two specifics of wheel cleaning (baked on road grime, brake dust, iron deposits and so forth, without using $100 a container purple-activated wheel cleaner that now flood the market), and secondly, removing stains from headliners/carpeting/upholstery...

    Possible use of Power Inverters for occasional Mobile Detailing power-source?

    Well, the heading says it all, "Possible use of Power Inverters for occasional Mobile Detailing power-source?" Basically what I'm wondering is since these 12v Power Inverters can just plug into your vehicle, and many of them (including the one I am linking to here, below) can generate an output...

    How To...wash Mike and Ray's Dirty Microfiber Towels

    Does anyone have thoughts on the above? I'm going to the store, and want to add more than baking soda and distilled white vinegar to the mix... and experience with Borax or "Super Washing Powder" which is just sodium-carbonate, or "Soda Ash?"

    How To...wash Mike and Ray's Dirty Microfiber Towels

    Hi guys... been looking into this a lot lately, and found some awesome information. First, though, can someone please offer me some information, or maybe point me in the right direction to do some research, on what makes "microfiber wash" detergents better than regular detergents? I'd like to...
