Thanks for the thorough response swanicyouth, I am wondering how long 100-300 gallons would last. There is no, none-resin system? Aka. spend more, pay less over time?

Hi Everyone, I've wanted to setup an easy procedure for our cash washing employee, and make it quick and painless. We have tight quarters here, and driving every car under the shade is unpractical. Furthermore, I wanted to install a water filtering system so that you could wash and rinse cars...

Thanks for the ideas and tips, I am going to see what I can do before I send it over to the painter. So far I'm in $450 so my luck may still be on my side!

Stick a fork in it Clear Coat Failure

I have a 1999 Red Saab 9-3 Convertible that I am prepping for sale, the big problem is the Hood and the Trunk, both have clear coat failure. I am seeking some advice on what to do, I can have it repainted for about $200 but in order to save cost, do you guys believe I can make it look decent...

Wanted to Update Everyone even though this was awhile ago. - the spots were from a lacquer thinner that the FIRST bodyshop refused to claim he did it... - took it to a SECOND bodyshop, and they painted it, took them a week when they quoted me 2 days. They dropped it off themselves (it looked...

This is the one I got from Amazon, I looked at the Hoover and Bissell but ended up with this one. I can't remember why, I will snap a few pics of the actual unit.

Wow those are nice indeed, a little way out of my price range. I would have to have a line of people waiting to get dry ice blasted in order to pay something like that off... Maybe it'll be something on the wishlist in the long run. In the mean time I will be seeing the difference between the...

Awesome, Thanks I spoke with the county water guys and they gave me the few options we have. Basically a water basin with an oil/water separator just liked you said. It will have to be inspected as well.. Any tips on a unit for cleaning engines? Hot Water Pressure Washer? Steamer? Hot Water +...

So I have been looking into cleaning engines, not just detailing the top part and the plastics, but thoroughly cleaning the whole thing in effort to either make the car look good or to help find a leak. I have been doing a lot of research locally, and online but I figured I would ask the...

GG6, Cyclo, and Makita

Man I bought like 8 rolls of Blue Tape from Harbor Freight, and that stuff is bad... I have to press the roll against the car in order to let it stick, and not have it start ripping in different directions... if I try to extend anymore than 4-6" of tape, it rips.

The Blower doesn't pull the air from the tank holding your trash, so you would be fine. I Just picked up a VacuMaid GV50, I was going to get the Bissell but this one was the same thing, with a little more power. I will write a review once I have it mounted and used.

When you are working out at 5am and doing some leg extensions and notice the swirl marks on a machine sitting in front of you... it begins to bother you and you think of this thread furthermore you think of how you would remove them and stop yourself from telling one of the employees

Hey B&B, I think some of the other members may be right with getting a check-up. Although it sounds like you had a severe lifestyle change. The same has happened to me. When you are living a very physically demanding lifestyle (training fulltime/part time for an event) you will be consuming a...

Thanks for the Info guys, I have been using the MF system with speed 6. Woops...

What is the proper care of the Microfiber pads and cleaning once you're done? I am using the 6" Griot's DA, with the 5" Backing plate and 5" pads. Should I try the 6" pads? (It was recommended to me by someone) or stick to 5" back plate w/ pads.

Well.. I finally cut this properly. Using the Meguiar's MF system and was not happy with what I found. I took most of the overspray off and found that whatever the compound was, it eroded away the clear coat. So unfortunately I will bring back the car to the body shop...at least show him, and...

He gave me a really good price, so I don't want to be a pain. I will handle it myself.
