    pressure washers

    for detailing you have more than enough pressure. Personally, I would think a hose is all you need. I have a Landa washer that's heated and rated at 4,500 psi. I clean heavy equipment. The average homeowner can get by with what you have. Pressure washers around cars scares me, seen paint...

    What kind of hourly rates are acceptable in the Chicago area?

    TimmyG, You are to be admired for your involvement with your friends son, Chris. When our time is done, life isn't about how much money we made, the cars we drove, ect. It's all about stamping the world with our character. You see it, it's throwing that rope to someone you know is struggling and...

    Local Dealership Called

    remember you'll be under the gun no matter the car line. You won't have the time to finesse them like you might want. I'll guess that's why you left this working environment............

    Flex 3401 generates a lot of heat?!

    Agree with Dave. Anytime you have friction you will create heat. Aluminum dissipates heat rapidly hence the choice on the Flex. Many car engines have aluminum parts for the same reason. Personally, I would use the tool without worry. Be aware it gets hot and handle accordingly.

    BMW M3 meets OptiCoat

    I share your passion with BMW cars. I lived in Germany for five years and was a frequent visitor to the factory. Simply amazing how they run their auto manufacturing. I have to mention after the tour there was free beer and the German's were very welcoming. Car looks excellent! I want an M5 but...

    How steep is the learning curve with a Flex?

    My first machine polisher is scheduled to arrive sometime on Monday, 6/10. I bought the Flex 3401 after a few years of being "on the fence" about the purchase. I just can't hand polish anymore due to a serious injury. I most likely went overboard buying the Flex for our two cars but I figured...

    Seth, I am moved by your motivation to get back to something you seem quite passionate about. At times life can be a test, one we don't know how to study or prepare for. When faced with a situation we bear down and do what we need to and get through it. Always remember this: tough times don't...

    Just Tired of loosing stuff in the Shop

    surveillance equipment is a great idea/deterrent. The equipment will pay for itself as you find the guilty party. I share your anger, dishonest people make the price of goods increase, cause more work and time to catch them and it's just wrong. Hopefully you can catch the guilty individual...
