Welcom aboard 4ord! You've just taken the next step in this great addiction of auto detailing. The gals and guys on this site are always at the ready with info and tips. The pics are awesome too! My F150 in the garage said you must be ok with all that great hardware in the drive. He said the...

Welcome, Ken. First thing you need to do is look up Bobby G. The man is a wealth of knowledge and a true fan of the hobby. Second, spend a few evenings looking through these forum pages. I've learned tons of tips as well as a few things that have taken my cleaning/detailing to a new level...

I've searched this topic myself for a few months. I've had guys tell me to buy a commercial pump and gravity fed will work. Other guys say no dice. I actually came across a repair center for outdoor equipment (they're authorized by Honda and Cat) and he said no matter what type of pump $40 or...

OK....gotta admit this one as it's on me. When I was 16, I had a light beige Toyota 4x4. I took it off road all the time. One time, I had scratches from branches off a trail we went down. For some reason, my friend and I thought a Brillo pad would get rid of the scratches. Holy schnikees...

I hate to say it but one of my favorite Simpsons episodes is where Homer is being driven to the hospital in an ambulance and the driver comes across a deer standing by a deer xing sign. Driver looks at the passenger, while the ambulance is stopped, and says "how do they know to cross here?"

Very nice. That's a great color too. I'm right there with you on the kids transition. I had grown accustom to washing my daughters Civic and she started college in August. I get done with the wife's car and my truck and I find myself a little lost. Make sure to keep the paint shiny and the...

Oh, man!! I thought that stuff was Saturday morning cartoons and my birthday presents all wrapped in one white bottle. I can remember washing a friend's yellow '73 Jeep with Westley's poured in a bucket. Strange thing, it wasn't real shiny after that. Lord, the things we tried when we had no...

NICE! The gymnastics crowd must be at a Metallica concert... Long Live Shelby!!!

I did a red Dodge Dakota that was pretty swirled out with a few spots. It turned out pretty sweet: - wash - no clay as paint was actually smooth, just swirled and a little dull - PC7424XP with LC orange pad with Megs M205 - Megs Gold Class liquid wax The truck belonged to my Uncle and he brought...

No, no...Meghan...you're going to "try some out to make sure they're up to Autogeek standards". All in how you phrase it, yeah?? By the way, you'd better get a few for Nick to "try out" too.

Just came across this forum so apologies for the delay. Have you looked into a vent/fan skylight like they use in RVs? A friend of mine does interior repairs for dealerships and he uses paints and dyes. His Safari has 2 vents that use electric fans. It's quite impressive how much air they...

Right with you (although a little older)! I can remember using Comet cleanser and a scrub brush to get my BFG Radial T/A letters white. Of course, after that, they were doused with Armor All. I used dish soap all the time with the same scrap of a beach towel as a rag. I remember the first...

I'm not too concerned with the portability. Should be able to slide around the car. I looked at one that puts out 1800 psi. Would that still get a good foam coating? I guess there has to be some correlation of psi to soap/water in the container.

Happy Birthday Bobby! Nice to know I share a birthday with a great character such as yourself! Hope you have a great day and go put some soap and water on that 'Vette!

Thanks for the response ARizzle!!

Who uses what type of machine? I've been looking at electric models for vehicles (and to use a cannon). Seems a lot of you are using Karcher. What about psi ratings? I've read around 1,500 is where I want to be. I have a 2,500 psi gas engine unit with a Cat pump, but my manual says the pump...

So many compliments!! Where to begin?? 1- awesome photos and great commentary 2- great you and your sister work together 3- you are a perfectionists! What a credit to the trade and this forum 4- REPEAT business. It is what we all strive for after all. 5- obviously you two aren't afraid of...

WOW!! Richy, you need to send the 11th 'after' pic to BMW. If that isn't a perfect brochure picture, I don't know what is!! Very well done! I bet she didn't look that nice leaving the showroom. 1st sister isn't jealous, is she??

Oh, Mike....sooooooo jealous of that incoming class being around that orange monster!! Please post so many before and after pics that Megan gets mad at you. Good luck.

HA! I'm reading some of the posts to my wife and she says I can't post because I'd end up putting it in the bedroom over the dresser. Wow, I really love that woman. She knows me...really knows me. Good luck all!
