    Dyna-Jet Chamois Wringer Review

    For $150 you could buy a large supply of guzzlers. I like the idea of the wringer, but unless I had a high volume shop with many employees using guzzlers or the like, there is no need for the wringer. -Sparty

    Autogeek site used in China?

    I was in China three years ago and the government then had tight control over their citizens access to the internet. I do not believe that they are able to legally access internet forums outside of their country as of yet. -Sparty

    Detail supply storage during winter

    Most of my supply stays in the garage, it is well insulated. Even with the coldest PA winters, the coldest it gets in the garage is 40. The only thing I bring in the house are the waxes - too much invested in them to take a risk. Last year we had a mild winter. Hoping for the same again this...

    Craigslist Job Posting

    Holy Heck. My field is education and I hate to see this. What is really sad - this type of ignorance is becoming the norm.

    Mechanics - please help!

    If you see that you have a good hot spark but it will not turn over you should check to see that it is getting fuel. If not you may have a bad fuel pump. If it is getting fuel you may have a large vacuum leak. The EGR valve could be stuck wide open if it is a EFI engine. If you are getting...

    Whats your favorite OEM Paint?

    Considering the cars, trucks, and SUVs I have owned and considering the cars, trucks, and SUVs I have detailed I like the OEM paint on only a few. It is easier to say which OEM paint I dislike. :laughing: I will give you a quick run down: I love the paint on my 2012 Volvo XC60 R-design - very...

    Your favorite tire brand?

    Read the reviews on TireRack.com, they are pretty spot on. Over the years I have tried many different tire brands, Pirelli, BF Goodrich, Dunlop, Bridgestone, Kumho, Continental, Goodyear, Michelin, Yokohama, etc. Every brand had its +'s and -'s depending on the car and driving style of the...

    Phone number on buiness cards..

    Two things can happen here: 1. People us the card for the website url and then when they see our prices, they fold. Some people have trouble paying for a professional detail - they do not understand the hours involved and the process - they only see the price. 2. And this has happened to me...

    Paint issues after polishing

    Not easy to tell from the pics, but I have seen something similar on a repainted Jag. On the Jag, those spots were clear coat failure. -Sparty

    Favorite / Least Favorite Memory from your first car?

    My father and I bought my first car when I was 14. It was a 1966 Mustang 2 + 2 Fastback 4 speed manual. It was in pretty good condition other than the motor was blown and some dents and dings, cracked front wind shield and some torn interior seats, very little rust. We proceeded to tear it...

    Bad timing to lend out my rotary

    My buddy, Sean, was polishing the diamond plate on his motorcycle trailer and needed it. I guess I needed it more. With the rotary I could have finished in about 9 hours. -Sparty

    Bad timing to lend out my rotary

    I know, crazy thing. It did do a decent job, but the etched water spots were the headache. They were beyond compound. The results were night and day, but not mirror finish. For a novice they would think it was great, but when I was looking into the paint I could see my reflection was about...

    Bad timing to lend out my rotary

    Detailed a 2005 VW Passat (Northern Green) today. The paint was the hardest paint I have ever encountered. I lent out my DeWalt DWP848X rotary to a friend on Monday and really wish I had it today. 12 hours with M105 and M205 with my Flex XC3401 foamed wool and orange & white pads. I was so...

    A very bad day...

    Is it possible that the vehicle was sealed with something like Opti or Cquarts? Sometimes a dealership will seal the car - the dealer wanted to sell me a sealer package on my Volvo for $500. I told them I could do it myself for $50 and know it was done correctly. His mouth dropped when I...

    Lake Country CCS vs Flats....

    For me the pad preference is based upon the polish I will be using. Normally I go flat with DAT polishes and CCS with SMAT polishes. I have yet to try the hydros - they are in my cart, waiting for a sale. -Sparty
