    Introducing the DP Turbo Car Dryer! 6.5 Peak Horsepower Blower for Drying Your Car!

    Yup, I agree…. they look almost identical to one another… I use the orange hose as a dedicated vacuum and the black one as a dedicated blower. I ended up cutting the black hose in half to keep it from hanging down and possibly marring the paint. Still wondering how ours compares to the DP...

    Small (but good quality) electric pressure washer

    Took your advice and ended up getting one myself…. so far I love the thing. The ONLY thing I'm potentially worried about is breaking the blue/clear plastic Quick Connect hose fittings that comes with the unit. I've been shopping around looking for some brass QC fittings that could replace...

    Weather Tech Floor Liners

    We usually always go with Weather Tech floor liners in our vehicles. But this time we decided to return the WT liners because they just didn't sit right in our new Mazdas nor did they cover most of the edges like we were used to seeing in the past with WT. So we went with Husky this time...

    Microfiber Towels

    I wash ALL my Rinseless, WW Glass, and Drying MF towels together in the same load. Everything else, including general maintenance, compound, polish, and wheel towels soak in a five gallon bucket w/ a little APC for a few hours before being washed separately from the other towels! So I...

    Microfiber Towels

    Bissell Carpet Machine Recommendation?

    I tried two different Bissell spot cleaners before going with the Little Green Pro Heat! The other two models I tried were only 3amp while the Little Green is 9amp. Also, the dirty water tank "Full" line on the Little Green is much higher then most of the other units allowing you to work...

    Hose nozzles

    We have about 110 lbs of pressure coming out of our spigot at home …...so plenty of pressure. :dblthumb2: Out of these six Nozzles…. My favorite (surprisingly) is the one on the bottom left. It has an EXCELLENT single sprayer that doesn't fan out or spurt at all. I also love the shower...

    Foam gun choices

    If you have a mid-sized or larger car/suv/truck, then go with the larger foam gun so you don't have to stop in the middle of a wash just to refill. Autogeek Half Gallon Foam Gun with FREE BONUS

    Purchasing Pressure Washer - Have A Few Questions

    Hey Ousooner2, how are you liking your AR112 and AR foam cannon so far? With Kevin's help, I too decided to go with the AR112 instead of a much larger model I was considering. Should be here Tuesday! :) I also went ahead and got the AR foam cannon as well to replace my foam gun. I'll be...

    Shop Vac find at Home Depot

    I just ordered one of these shop vacs and know that the hose fitting is 1 7/8". My question would be…….which hose set up should I go with? There is the 1 7/8" hose….RIDGID 10 ft. Pro-Grade Universal Wet/Dry Vacuum Hose Kit-VT2570 - The Home Depot *** OR*** I was looking at this 1 1/4"...

    Microfiber Towels

    Completely agree with cardaddy's posts….MFT 360's & 530's are also what I find I reach for the most when detailing. And I too find that the 700's lint like crazy…even during rinseless washes and after multiple washes in the washer. Still Sheds! For drying my vehicles, I use a dedicated leaf...

    Road trip in April - What detailing essentials should I bring?

    Great idea for a thread Nick… The wife and I will be attempting a 2700 mile road trip from Arizona to the Lake of the Ozarks here in June. Was just thinking last weekend what detailing tools and products to bring. And speaking of Microfiber towel cleaner, I personally like to recycle these...
