Okay, a post about something I know a great deal about. Albeit my experience is with much larger generators (I work at a hospital). First, think about the quality of the power you need. Rinky dink generators don't mantain good voltage and hertz. they drift a lot as load changes and there is...

Im loving what Rick is saying. He could be charging for his sage advice. Totally rings true with other things I have done (I'm not an auto detailer). As someone new to all of this....what strikes me is the need for you guys to educate the customer. They need to understand that going to a cut...

Rick from Texas made some good points (so did others). You would think friends and family would support someone starting out. Sadly it has been my experience that they are looking for deals and would pay a total stranger more for the same work. Best not to do business with them IMHO. Put...

I'm a total newbie so keep that in mind. I'm quickly coming to the opinion that a lot of harm is done washing the car. Using something like a normal bath towel to dry your car afterwards can scratch the you-know-what out of it. Slow down, take your time, and ask a lot of questions. Carefully...

Standard pipe threads, as opposed to threads without a taper that may use a sealing gasket/o-ring/etc, have a spiral leak path from crest to root. They also aren't cut to precision standards. Without getting too technical this amounts to a thread sealant being required. There are many good...

No idea what is needed for headlight work....but as far as a quality drill motor.....IMHO you can't beat a used milwaukee drill motor. I think their old 1/4" single speed drills are as good as it gets. Not as much of a fan of their newer 1/2" variable speed drills but there are still a good...

I will give consideration to a machine. Is the porter cable the one to get? I reckon I was avoiding one because I've seen people cause a lot of damage in the past. I'd like to learn how to do things the right way.

No, nothing near as bad as the pics above. You can't see it normally. Lets just say being a single parent....determined to see his daughter through college....has left me driving cars not worth taking care of. The Vibe was purchased as a pre-certified car so she would have complete coverage...

Okay, total detailing newbie here.....as in the kind that never waxed his car in his life.....and I'm old:) So I did a little reading and decided to give it a go on a metallic silver 2008 Pontiac Vibe. Washed with Rain X brand shampoo using a normal wash cloth. I have three huge oak trees in...
