    All Orders Ship for FREE through January 1st! What should WE call it?!

    Darn, was hoping DP HI APC would be BOGO. I really want to try it but can't justify the price when I pay $50 for a 5 gallon of what I currently use.

    The LC Red seem to be doing an even better job. Sad day, I only have one of them. This is the first time I've ever had to use it. Definitely ordering a 6 pack of them after this job

    Looking for LED Shop Light Suggestions

    Does the light even help when you have no room to do anything. My claustrophobia would end me.

    Yeah, looks like I'll have to try the Flex. This is my first Tesla, grabbing the 4000 bottle off my shelf now. I don't have 4500 so hopefully this does the trick.

Also it sometimes has an...

    How to Fix RaceDeck Free Flow Slippery Tiles

    My wash bay is outside so no, I wont be washing on these tiles. But I do pull wet vehicles inside nearly every day and also walk inside with wet shoes and it obviously was an issue before. From what I've been told it's very easy to vacuum through the ribs in the tiles.
