I will be getting a new house very soon and have some painting to do, as usual when buying one. Also, my wife also found a whole bedroom furniture set (5 piece) for cheap, but it needs to be refinished/repainted. The last time I repaired/painted a piece of furniture for her, I rattle canned the...

Today, when doing a RW, I needed to swap my drying MF out for a fresh one (I don't usually need to swap it out, but circumstances were different this time). It's been a while since I've needed to use the 2nd one, and after 1 swipe of the hardly used 2nd DMC, I noticed it was absorbing the water...

When breaking out the buckets for an extremely dirty vehicle, and not having a power washer yet, does anyone use a "fourth" bucket and dedicated wash mitt for the bottom (dirtiest) parts? (some might call it a 3BM if they don't use a wheel bucket or don't account for wheel bucket in the method...

With the snow turning into sleet and sleet turning into rain, got alittle bored today. While dipping some tools from work, I have a bunch of the plasti-dip left over, so I took a look around figured I'd give it a try on my sprayers. Followed the directions on the back and they turned out ok...

I've searched through the site and am not coming up with them, but sometimes navigating it can be interesting. Anyone know if they sell these here? or Hook and loop brush attachments for a DA.

I was looking for some guidance on how to buy a test panel. Recently got the new flex and haven't used a rotary before and would like to try some techniques, products and pads out. I know I should go to the junk yard, or even craigslist, but is there a certain type I should be looking for...

For those of you who spray, scrub then vacuum your interior upholstery, I'm curious what filter your running in your shop-vac (assuming you use one that has interchangeable filters). The two options for a filter are: 1. A paper based one, which is ONLY designed for general dry things like...

I'm looking to put together a car care kit for my brother in-law as a gift for Christmas (on top of the microbrew beer I find him). I'm curious if the Costco MFs will work for a rinseless wash (specifically the Gary Dean method). I only have experience using MF's sold here and from other...

A friend of mine got this from his job, but he had no idea what it was for and doesn't know how he got it in the first place, so I took it off of his hands. I only have a flex and this looks like it belongs to PC or other rotary polisher. I'm looking to use this on my drill with my other 3 inch...

I, like I'm sure many of you, have a dedicated bucket for cleaning my wheels, wheel wells even underbody. This where we keep dedicated tools for those jobs only as well. 1. I'm curious what soap or soap mixture you guys are using. Right now I've mixing a little APC with GC Pink. I've been...

Here are some pics of my issue: Pics don't show how bad it really is. Backstory: I purchased my used SRX, it has the tri-coat white, over the winter. When I finally got a chance, about 2 months ago, I was able to fully clean it (at least what "fully clean" is in my opinion is). The clean...

I finally got to practice using my flex on my old Jeep, using the stock backing plate and LC 5.5" pads. Amazing how much power this thing has! I also have the 4 3/8" backing plate, and am curious what's the smallest pad I can fit on there. I tried ordering some 4" LC Hybrid pads, but they were...

Where are you guys getting yours? The wifes vehicle has a small, down to the metal scratches and a few chips I'd like to clean up till we save up to get the panels professionally repainted. Its a tri coat, so I dont expect perfection, but on the white car, they stand out really bad. So...

Is this possible? I've come to liking the Gary Dean Method for my maintenence washes, using my own customized version now, leaving me with leftover waterless wash that I wont use over this new mesthod. So I'd like to use it as a rinseless, seems to have the same drying properties, so can it be...

My 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 rims come with a "special" coating on them called DuraBright (DB). After some time, or straight from the factory as far as I know, they become spotty and look like crap. So I've tried several products, working my way down the chain till I landed at wet sanding...
