    Griot's Cordless DA Review

    Ok so I have to admit, when I saw Griot's announce this, I jumped on it and ordered one. I've been waiting for someone to come out with a cordless LSP applicator. So after using it a couple of times, here is my honest feedback: Pros: Convenient. I can take this with me to a car meet or...

    Garage Mods for Efficiency

    That's like asking me which testicle I would keep! In all seriousness, if you are referring to just the drying ability between the two units, definitely I would keep the Master Blaster, that's a no-brainer. However, since the Vac n Blo is first and foremost a vacuum and not really a very good...

    The PSI of the pressure washer, I was told, has little to do with how much foam you are able to get out of the MTM Hydro cannon. Rather, it has to do with GPM (gallons per minute). This unit I believe is a 1.5gpm and my previous one was a 1.7gpm, I believe... I have not got the chance to foam...

    Although the Vac n Blo is marketed as both a vacuum and a blower, I find that the output of its air leaves much to be desired compared to a dedicated blower. I compare its output to that of a warm hair dryer. The master blaster is the way to go if you have the money to dedicate to it...

    New Wax Fridge

    Well I agree. However, in these photos, I had just finished installing the shelves and rearranged the waxes for the photo, so it lost all the cold air with the door being open. The temp display is showing current temp, not target temp. It is currently holding steady at 55.

    Garage Mods for Efficiency

    I'm not either lol... I called a couple electricians in the area but nobody was interested in such a small job, so I YouTube'd it and learned how. I have 10 gauge wire going from the panel's 30A breaker to this outlet. So I used 10ga. wire from the load terminals on the first GFCI outlet to...

    EDIT - I reread your post and noticed you said 20 ft. Sorry. I have two extensions on top of the original for a total of 30 ft. which in my trials, is necessary in order to reach the rear of the vehicle when parked in the middle of my driveway. I've used this MB since I bought it at...

    Yes, you do lose some air output with 3 extensions on it. From my un-scientific observations, through nothing but overall feel while using it in this configuration, I would guess that it feels like I lost about 25%-30% of the "kickback" force while in use. Now, granted, this master blaster is...

    The mount is a single piece of metal that is mounted on to the wall using 3 screws. How strong it is depends on what you mount it to. In my case, I mounted it directly into concrete block using 3 Tapcon screws, pre-drilled. That mount is very sturdy and I can most likely do pull-ups on it (if...

    If you're like me, you enjoy detailing. A lot. More than most "normal" people. However, I absolutely despise setting up my gear and cleaning up after I'm done. To me, that's just chore work that is not enjoyable. I like rinseless washes when the situation calls for it, but on my weekends...

    New Wax Fridge

    I ran across this at Sam's Club a few weeks ago. It was on sale for $80. Holds 6 bottles of wine. As a detailer, of course my first thought was, "waxes!" So I ordered one. Haier 6-Bottle Wine Cellar with Electronic Controls - Sam's Club It's small enough to fit on my shelf nicely and I like...

    Bug Guts Driving Me Insane!

    We have bug season twice a year here in Florida. So when that time of the year rolls around, I found that the fastest and least-aggravating way to get bugs off the front of the car is to use APC. Yes, I said APC. I spray down the front of the car with it, let it soak for a minute or two, then...

    DIY Full Flow brass garden hose shut-off valve

    I used to just drag it and drop it on the driveway when I had my previous el-cheapo shut off valve, but not anymore. The larger shut off handle acts as a hanger for the side of my bucket! I also like how cool it looks now, so I take care not to reel in the hose with it dragging across the...

    longest lasting leather smell leather conditioner

    Go to a leather store and ask to buy a scrap piece of leather, about 8.5x11 inches or so. Store it under your driver's seat. Under the passenger seat, buy a cheap, new PC motherboard. Put it there. You will have a new leather smell + new electronics smell, especially after a hot day. This...
