I started detailing for the local Porsche dealership in 98. Learned a lot and was an enthusiast since then. Doing my own cars and such. In 2007 I started 360detail. It was a small detail service I ran out of the back of my Jeep Unlimited. Last year I decided to take the jump and really sink some...

I toyed around with buying skid mounted equipment or even looked at a rightlook trailer. You can build your own for less than half. I started with a custom build 6x10 trailer. I probably could have done a 5x8 but I utilized the extra space for a work bench. Drove 2 hours to GA to the factory...

I have a 6hp Rigid shop vac with the 2.5 in hose. The hose is short and not very flexible. I about to order a custom 30' flexible shop vac hose for this vac. Buying 30' in 2.5"diameter is not only expensive but it will take a lot of room. I want to go down to 1.5 or 1 7/8th inch hose. Its more...

Hello Mike, I wanted to ask you this specifically. I have a LC backing plate on my mikita and Ive had a few wool pads. They seem to be hard and curve around the backing plate. Not only does the lint make 10xs the mess than needed, but it seems to be very stiff and hard to work with. I...

I'm currently trying to research the difference between the 15 and 21. I got excited when I saw Mike Phillips did that car using both machines but he didnt really mention much about them like how they handle, what the correction power was like Etc. it was a 4-6 page thread and I'm pretty sure I...

Hi guys, I just picked up this Optimum Spray gun. Click here for AG link Before I get into the review I want to tell you a little about where I'm coming from. I don't like stupid gadgets. There is SELDOM an adequate replacement for old fashioned elbow grease. I HATE "miracle" products, ONE...

Any suggestions for a good all around wheel cleaner? I used to use ARO. It's a great tire and wheel well and engine cleaner. But need something with a bit more bite on brake dust. I've considered sonax but that stuff is too damn expensive. Need something cost effective yet safe for all wheels.

I've been reading a ton of threads on flex DA and am considering the move. I have a PCXP, makita rotary and I am very proficient using both. The flex walk I read about isn't an issue. I did however use a customers GG Da polisher today and I kinda liked it! I cant tell what was different but it...

I found a 10x15 easy up canopy on eBay for 199.00. Good price. Comes with sidewalls for more shade. Different colors. Claims a single person can do it. Who had a canopy? What size do you have? Any issues? Pros and cons?

It was time to replenish some supplies. So I decided to try a bunch of new products! This megs glass cleaner better be every bit as good that people rave about. I'm a die hard stoners fan so this better be good. D-12001 - 128 oz. Meguiars Glass Cleaner Concentrate 19.99 1 PW-04 -...

I noticed with my new compressor that it accumulates a LOT of rust colored water in the tank that drains out after every use. Even though I drain the tank. This means that when using air tools sometimes I get a little, not much, but a little moisture spraying out. I came across this On ebay. It...

I'm hoping that there will be a few painters on here, or maybe Mike has had some experience with this. But I want to respray the clear of my Jeep. It has some deep bug damage from the previous owners neglect. As you know that sort of damage is permanent. The base coat is perfect however. I...

So I've been using Megs APC+ and even super diluted this cleaner is hard core. I'm talking less than 1/2 oz on a whole spray bottle of distiller water is powerful. When I mixed up a similar gallon to use as a tornado cleaning solution I started noticing a few things. I'm not sure if it's a...

I'm running low on my Menzerna items. And although I feel Menzerna corrects easier and better than everything else I keep trying I still find it very hard to work with. Hard to remove, feels too dry on the pad and am ready to give something else a try. I've really taken a liking to the CG stuff...

A guy I work with has a pretty decent maxima. From a distance it looks great. It's glossy. Up close it's beaten up a bit. He uses a truck washing brush to wash his car. A few times a week. I did a single stage polish after he washed. The swirls came out but that coarse brush left some gnarly...

Last year I met a really cool guy that owned a black Nissan Titan. He was frustrated with his paint job being that the Truck new to him was only a total of 2.5 yrs old. He had taken it to the dealership for a "detail" and had tried various OTC products but the paint just wasn't looking good at...

I have a few hundred bucks I'm going to dump into advertising and printing of a few products. I came across a site that sells those yard signs. You know the ones you jam in the ground at intersections and hope for a ton of exposure before someone yanks them up. My question is has anyone done...

Im beyond aggravated right now and want to vent specifically to you guys because I don't want the same thing happening to you. I placed an order for a 15 gal Air compressor from Air Compressors Direct. Their site said it was in stock and it will process the same day if in stock. After the 2nd...

I bought an air pick for my new air compressor and Tornador black set up. As I was looking at it I noticed the end is rather sharp. So I coated it with rubber shrink wrap for protection against accidentally scratching an interior. Came out great! My compressor comes Tuesday. I'll do a full...
