    Dry ice cleaning....

    Pretty cool technique. And to think I have a liquid nitrogen tank sitting right outside my biotech lab that is 2 stories tall. If I could only get close enough with my car out back maybe I could rig up a hose to clean thing up.. well, then again maybe not ( not worth an instant addition to the...

    +1 for pretreatment; it’s pretty much a habit ( doesn’t add that much more time to the process)

    Ceramic coat a road bike

    Any input, watch outs for ceramic coating a tri bike. Recently replaced my tria bike with a carbon fiber bike (lighter, aerodynamic as these senior citizen hips need all the help I can give them). Was thinking of ceramic coating it. I would first do a test area.( FYI, only the handle bar tape is...

    Disposable microfiber towels for cleaning up bird droppings

    Been using Costco towel cut in half ( wet towel n lube the the birdspot well). Toss when done.

    Pressure Washer Question

    I use a battery powered Sunjoe 6001c to rinse and a pump spray to foam, you would need a 5 gallon bucket to keep some extra water in (this is if u are in the market to purchase another pressure washer). I then empty the pressure washer n pit in a gallon of DI water for final rinse. No need to...

    Brand New Truck; Detailing prodecures

    I ceramic coated my F150 one year ago and still going strong. Keep in mind that a truck takes 2x as long to prep and coat. The panels , the hood , the bed are definitely massive compared to my wife’ s IS 350. I used Wolfgang Profi coating, fairly easy to use. I let mine cure overnight in the...
