Well, almost. I had this DeWalt "work light" that I had used maybe twice in the last 5 years. It was part of my cordless combo pack: Under $30 and a little bit of time and it became this: It was really quite easy. I bought a $15.00 LED spot beam off road light off Amazon...

I'm doing my first boat in about 15 years next week. I've traditionally used Megs marine stuff, but have been intrigued by the DG 561 then 501 combo. This boat has some UV discoloration, however, from a name being removed that I was going to sand out. The question is how fine will I have to...

I'm in the market for a PTG and have been looking at the Highline II (or other versions of it) to save some money. It has been said it can't read on plastic/fiberglass/carbon fiber. Why can't we just calibrate it (using the non-FE mode) on top of a bare piece of carbon fiber, fiberglass, or...

This is for all the part time pros here. Curiosity has me wondering, how do you answer that in a purely social situation? Does your "main" job get the attention and networking possibilities, or does the detailing? Or, do you spit an earful out all at once: "I'm a(n) _______ (network...

This point is moot for some of you since you carry so many polishers. I like to travel light, though. I take my rotary, my Dynabrade attachment, and my DA on every job and that's it! As I was polishing the hood of a regular customer's Range Rover with some 205 and the Dynabrade, my buffer cut...

I've seen a number of threads claiming the worst interior ever, so I thought I'd throw mine in the mix. I haven't posted any of my work before because I flat out don't want to pause to take pics. I decided to try it on this one, but I still didn't do as good a job on the pics as so many of you...

As I pressure washed the exteriors and the signs of some of my commercial property customers, I learned to put a tablet of Jet Dry in my water tank for every 100 gallons. It made all the difference in the world and the signage didn't water spot any more. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than DI or...

Got a van in my possession that had a wrap on it for 10 years. When it was removed it left a MESS at all the edges. I tried my normal succession of products starting with 3m adhesive remover and moving to acetone, mineral spirits, and Goof Off. Nothing touched it. This is what I was facing...

Wondering about performance both in sanding applications and polishing. This is the sander: 3M Electric Random Orbital 6 Inch Non-Vacuum Sander Kit 28526, paint sanding A lighter alternative without using air...sounds like a winner to me.:props:

With all the good reviews I'm reading on the Flex, it piqued my curiosity. Right now I'm using my Hitachi rotary with a Dynabrade random orbit attachment and digging the hell out of the combo. Any benefits to the Flex that I'm missing with my combo?

I've been playing with my AG Tornador for the last couple weeks and see many uses for it both in and out of the realm of auto detailing. My question is if it will withstand further extremes on the PH range than found in the normal car products. For example: -Bases: I custom mix a solution...

I'll try to keep it short: Last time detailing professionally was in '96. Kept alot of my tools and equipment (replenishing as need be) over the years to do personal and family/friends cars. The bug is not easily cured, though, and I'm starting to detail for dollars again. I have much to...
