    Vacuums

    most likely. that or another one i found, exact same design but 6.5hp and comes with a wall mount bracket. the included accessories are not terribly important. since Lowes and Shop-Vac sell a Car Cleaning Kit that comes with hoses, crevice tools and many others for around $25.00

    How Do I Polish and Care for Carbon Fiber

    clear coat is generally very soft and thin. Gelcoat is not. I believe gel coat is much thicker and can finish out to a smooth surface even if applied on a rough surface. Ie... fiberglass or carbon fiber weave. i could be wrong. ive worked with carbon fiber very little just going from my...

    How Do I Polish and Care for Carbon Fiber

    :confused: Carbon fiber doesnt get clear coat as car body panels do. its typically a gel coat similar to fiberglass. unless the parts are painted, then they would be primed, colored, and clear coated. I am not sure how normal automotive products designed for clear coats would settle on a...

    How Do I Polish and Care for Carbon Fiber

    ballin! :) might want to look into marine care products. since carbon fiber has a gel coat rather then a clear coat. i would say to care for it the same way you would marine surfaces. which are also gel coats. Im going to say you definitely want something with some UV protection.

    105 and SSR 2.5

    imo SSR2.5 doesnt even compare to 205. I dont know why but 205 is just such a pleasure to use. it goes on easy, gets the job done and wipes off easy. SSR2.5 is a great product but its streaky and if you use too much it can be a pain to get off if it dries. i feel like 2.5 has a longer working...

    Car DECISIONS!!! HELP!!!

    except none of the cars affected are what he is looking at. True, Mustangs are enthusiast vehicles, but they are also far more common. the problem with the mustang is sure its fast and cool and all, but it looks just like the other mustangs. Sure it might have bigger wheels and such but to an...

    Car DECISIONS!!! HELP!!!

    they have been out for several years. Although i think the verts may be newer. Everyone here seems pretty terrified of used cars. Why? ive owned several cars with over 100,000 miles. In fact id rather own them then. because the car was 1/4 of the price of a CPO car and never had any problems...

    Car DECISIONS!!! HELP!!!

    i think you should consider the newer 335 verts and audi's vert offerings. the A5/S5 are great cars. Benz verts are small or ridiculously expensive. the SLK is tiny, the SL is expensive.
