What compressor is required to run these tools? I could not find any specs on either Meguiar's or Chicago Pneumatic's web sites.

As far as ladders go, this is the ticket for me, laddy! Portable Detailing Platform & Workbench - Griot's Garage

Has anyone tried the new Cyclo 12A Pneumatic polisher? It's based on the classic model 5 polisher, but requires an atomic powered air compressor (22scfm @ 90psi). According to the video on the company's website, if you have a 15HP air compressor, you have the equivalent of a 15HP polisher...

If it's lumens you pursue, look no further than "The Torch" 4100 lumens, hot enough to start fires, fry food and stun large animals at close distance. Too bad the battery life is a measly 5 min. Not bad for $150.

Take a peek: Natural Thyroid Choices - Mountain Dew Highlights: Yellow Dye #5 is made from coal tar; has a pH level 3.3; 55mg caffeine; 11.5 tsp sugar per 12 oz. Of course, Diet Mt Dew won't have the sugar levels of regular Mt Dew, but it has a host of other chemicals that probably aren't any...

Too bad it (and the regular Dew and many other fruit-based drinks) is made with Brominated Vegetable Oil, deemed toxic and has been banned in over 100 countries.

One facet of detailing I've not tried is engine detailing. I've researched this topic a lot and I'm still overly cautious when it comes to spraying water into things that don't like water that much. Most of the detailing procedures and photos/videos posted here and elsewhere show cleaning only...

I attended Detail King's detailing class last May. The class was a 2-day event: day 1 focused on how to run a detailing business; day 2 focused on how to use their products and detailing procedures. I extended my training to a 3rd day which covered advanced areas of detailing. Of course they'll...

I tried the Flex 3401 at Detail King training in May. I didn't like the fact that my arms became numb quickly due to the vibration. I like the Flex's form factor and features, but I can use my Cyclo for far longer without the numbness in my arms.

OK. I stand corrected. I was speaking on the premise that some experienced rotary users have stated they prefer rotary buffers over DA's for all polishing. If I was more experienced with my DWP849X, I'm sure I'd use it more often than my Cyclo. Well, maybe...maybe not.

The only way you can become proficient with a rotary buffer is the same way a piano player gets to Carnage Hall: Practice! Practice! Practice! NOBODY, including Mike Phillips, woke up one day proficient in handling a rotary buffer. He along with the rest had to learn the old fashioned way: Get...

What do you use for the interior in lieu of the VX5000? One of the big selling points for the VX5000 (and other similar dry steamers) is it's :xyxthumbs: for cleaning the interior; some are capable of cleaning the exterior, too (the South Korean Optima Steamer comes to mind).

I bought Renny's video and it contains a lot of good information on how to use the VX 5000. If you're not familiar with using a steamer in detaining interiors as I am (I'm just starting my detailing business), pull the trigger and get the video. I've watched it 3 times so far and I've learned...

Maybe he lost it in a nasty divorce and it's going to his soon-to-be ex-wife?

Hi, Mike! I'm Jim.

Without knowing your storage requirements, how about a Chevy HHR Panel wagon? That'd be classy and functional as long as you can get along with two seats. An auto repair shop in my neighborhood uses one and it has a nice graphic wrap making it really snazzy. I've seen used ones on craigslist for...

Does anybody use the Mytee 20 – 110 Deluxe Prep Center? I see that Detail Plus has a similar product, too, called the "Express Detailer". They look interesting, having 4 chemical sprayers, high power wet-dry vac and extractor in a handy, portable unit. I was wondering if such a device would...

I detailed my sisters 1999 Plymouth Voyager van today (I'll post pictures later) concentrating on the interior (even though she's my sister, I still have to contend with "girl-stuff") using Folex as the cleaning agent and my Wagner 905 steamer. Two hours later, I concluded it would have gone...

Isn't one of the biggest arguments in favor of steamer vs extractor is the steamer uses less water than an extractor, thus the seats and carpets dry quicker? What do you use for the rest of the interior? I'm on the fence for buying either a VX5000 or a HP60. Sounds like the HP60 would be the...

I bought the Cyclo Pro 5 as my first "real" polisher for the same reasons. The adjustable speed is a really nice feature. I had no idea what the Cyclo's VES vibration-less feature, the best of all polishers, was all about until I started using it. There's virtually no vibration with the Cyclo...
