    Whats a good pressure washer

    I'm no scientist but I have noticed a difference based on the water pressure of the hose outlet at different locations in different cities. Not really convinced to be honest. Mainly on the larger PW. The smaller ones may not be able to use all the pressure anyway.

    Starting new shop. Please see pictures

    By the hour. I dont pay commision because it speeds them up and makes me have to go back over and check their work even more than I already do. I pay quarterly bonus based all facets. Performance, punctuality, attitude, experience, flexibility, customer relations etc... And I wont hire...

    They call the sinks "laundry tubs or utility sinks" you can get a smaller one with faucet for around $150. Its to rinse out towels, fill buckets, clean parts etc.... I have never seen any type of shop that doesn't have one. How do you fill a bucket with hot water? Or rinse out a towel as...

    Honda CBR 1000RR Detailed by Etiennè

    The bike looks great although it looked quite clean to begin with. But why are we talking about the bike? That house is sick man. The driveway. The garage doors. The darn palm trees. I really dont like you right now.

    GG 6" DA Polisher Taking out spider web scratches?

    Is it factory paint or if not is it base clear or single stage. (If not sure, did the pad turn the color of the car while polishing?)

    2007 Civic Coupe

    The pictures are borderline worthless but I'm sure it looks awesome. That model in red always pops. Well done

    Whats a good pressure washer

    Wait a second....your original post says you were thinking about buying one, then said you have tried the same one and was not impressed. Then said you weren't sure if my recommendation of one with the same psi would be enough. Not sure whats going on here.

    Whats a good pressure washer

    Well sort of. Ive cleaned very muddy truck undercarriage and had success. Is it my 3,000 psi Generac? Of course not. But its not $300 either. Even a 2,000 psi is going to cost you about $200. If you can afford it get one in the 2000 -2400 range. I've found that the biggest thing is how much...

    Whats a good pressure washer

    Oh my goodeness I just noticed that Ace is selling it for $69 through the end of July. Its 1600 psi but its 1.58 gpm, and thats big time water flow for a low end electric. You're crazy not to buy it at that price. AR blue clean is one of the top brands in electric PW. Thats a steal.

    Whats a good pressure washer

    I recently did some research to find a new electric portable one. Went with the AR blue clean ar112 model. Works very well and only paid $63 shipped, lightly used on eBay. Looks to be discontinued since lowes and HD no longer carries it but Ace Hardware does.

    is it worth buying neoprene car seat covers?

    I put some on a brand new car I bought back in 2002. A focus. Had them on there for 6 years until I sold it. 60k mikes and when I removed them, front seats only, you would swear the seats were brand new. They were more of a velour cotton fabric very soft and smooth but they certainly paid for...

    Good wheel cleaner

    Use them every day. Not meguiars but another brand that is brown like it. Couldn't live without it. And when its extreme we use Malco brake off. Stuff is ridiculous strong.

    I dont see a sink/tub. One of the white plastic ones are absolutely necessary. You will use it all day long

    Using AIO'S

    Not sure how that differs from my response. Say doing half of the hood on a small car you make maybe 10 total passes. Really just comes down to what type of results you're getting. Try a spot and see then adjust accordingly.

    How many cars from 1 IronX Bottle?

    If you hit the whole car then maybe 4 or 5. I usually dont use it or will just use it in spots like back ends or wheels. Places where most contamination exists.

    Using AIO'S

    I do 50% overlaps usually. Meaning go down and back then move over half the pad width and go down half the pad width come back. And so on

    Gave some of my toys a weekend wash...

    Always more light. And then some more. Then....you guessed it, even more. We use HPS lights. Expensive and high wattage but no comparison to halogen or fluorescent. Maybe just get 1 or 2 with the dome reflectors. Plus they put off good heat in the winter, if you need that.

    Using AIO'S

    Again, we do auction/production/dealer work, and we use meguiars m66 as a 1 step AIO about 90% of the time. Orange LC pad with a GG6 and you get best of both worlds, cut and polish. Obviously we dont care about protection much, but you a bit of that too. And its CHEAP!!! Highly recommend for...

    does the car value retains its value when it is maintained?

    Thats right, Bob. Supply and demand is important in everything. Perfect example is mercedes s550. The auction runs several of them a week, problem is there are very few buyers for used ones. Most people who can afford one want a new one. Saw one sell at the sale last week that was in great...
