HOLY ROLLER SKATING CHRIST !! DARN GOOD THING I ORDERED THE FG400 AND THE SF4500 ON THE EASTER SALE!! I guess you could say the 'PAINT HAS RISEN' this Easter !! Good job man.

So last week, i bought me a new Mytee Lite II. Called a friend, we did his carpet, came out great. Today, i did my truck. Same results. M y wife said it looked brand new. I love it!! Now for the cons: The hooks to wrap the cord around are WAY TOO SMALL. I may get 3 wraps, and the long...

Yoe ever been on a Matco Tool truck? Sure, it all says Matco on the impact tool, but you can bet your a@@ that under that name is an Ingersol Rand. Only difference is the price. I can go to tooltopia.com and get Ingersol Rand at darn near cost. My 3/8" IR Ratchet cost me $109, shipped free...

Ok, so i sold a car that i fixed up for $3300. I want to buy some detailing stuff. I already got a steamer. I got a great deal on a brand new Mytee Lite II, so I bought that yesterday. Now, I need some foam pads. I have the Harbor Freight DA, and like everyone says, the backing pad...

As an ASE Certified automotive tech, your on borrowed time with that timing belt. Get it done first. A good shop is going to ask if you want to do the water pump as well, and you might as well since the tech is RIGHT THERE. Also, timing belt idler and tensioner pulleys need to be replaced with...

I should have clarified that I don't take the seats out every time I clean my car...usually once or twice a year . When I clean a friends car, if its nasty under the drives seat....it's coming out.

I've been cleaning my own cars for years now. Sometimes, I really let the interior of my truck and my camry get really bad. I have a full time job as an auto technician, and on weekends, my friends or people who've heard of my quality of work call me and want me to work on their car. But, when I...

Muscleman... I'm an ASE certified tech. Been one for 16-18 years. While you can make money flipping cars, salvage titles make ALOT of potential buyers run in any direction AWAY from the car. I bought a 2003 Acura TL Type -S for $300. I had to do a ####-load of work to it, but nothing I...

I'm in Houston, he's in Des Moines. Thats a long drive for a detail. And i doubt he'd let me touch it.

As a testiment to my brother, he's also a auto tech for Ford. He takes care of his stuff, just like I do. When we were kids, we used to beat the hell outta eachother, snitch to our parents about what the other was doing, and sabbatoge eachothers belongings. Like we say now, We just raised good...

Ok....so here's the story. Several months ago, our shop had a customer come in. (I work as an auto technician). His car just died while driving. He gets it up to the shop, I start taking a look at it...BAM ! Timing belt broke. More than likely, the engine is done for, as its an Interference...

I bought a microfiber drying towel today at Wal-Mart for like $9. It's 2 sided, so one side grabs most of the water, and the other for fine finishing. I usually use a water towel, or what ever it is. Feels kinds slimy when its wet, but it grabs water like a mo-fo. Anyway, I used the new water...

The backing pad on the HF DA is a POS. If you get the foam pads for HF as well, the backing pad will start to destroy the edges of the foam pad. And as your buffing, you'll start to see foam bits all over your hood, roof, wherever you might be buffing. I took off the backing pad, put it in a...

AAHHHh yes...Pasadena Pasa-get-down-dena Stink-ah-dena Sulpher-dena Thankfully, i'm up in the Woodlands / Spring area. But the 3 damn trees i have in my yard don't help either

True....but i like to stand out from the croud. And when your asking someone to fork over a good chuck of change, that car better look every bit as good as the asking price.

I'm not knocking the process of detailing....in fact, I love doing it as a side hobby. What I think sucks is DETAILING THE SAME DAMN CAR EVERYDAY !! I have a 2003 Acura TL TYPE-S that i'm trying to sell. And since we're in the pollen season here in Houston, Tx, EVERY MORNING before i go to...
