    Kwazar broke unlisted but important part

    I’m not sure how it happened but the “Shut-off pin” broke on my black Kwazar pump sprayer. I went to use it yesterday and the thumb trigger was in the down position with no spring resistance to it, just completely free. It pumped up fine and holds pressure but would not spray. So I...

    WeatherTech Ready-to-Wash set

    Just barely caught a commercial for the WeatherTech Ready-to-Wash set other night. Looks like they they are trying to turn the average Joe on to the grit guard approach. Although it does come with a water blade.

    Ultima Acrylic Waterless Wash

    Not UWW+. I was looking at the Ulitma's product catalog the other day and saw they have a new waterless/rinseless product. Ultima Acrylic Waterless Wash I assume it came out around the same time the Acrylic Spray Wax came out. Has anyone had a chance to try it? Any chance of this product...

    Order being shipped by FedEx

    I know some have complained that UPS is not the shipper they would prefer. Well it seems that PBMG is now using FedEx. I'm not sure if it will be solely FedEx or how that's works. They definitely seem to have faster shipping times according to their estimate. I got my shipping notification...

    Quick review AG Detailers Bag

    I just picked up the Autogeek Detailers Bag and figured I'd take some pics and give my thoughts on it. It seems like a quality bag. Solidly made and good materials. Some nice rails to give it some more support on the bottom. Nice and deep with the bottom shelf folded upward. And...

    I think I would like to order/try out a different compound for heavy defect removal. I have been using Optimum Compound II. My machine is Rupes Duetto and use LC flat pads. No specific vehicles, just general use for customers if needed. I like how well Compound II works and the great finish it...

    Milwaukee battery powered M18™ Wet/Dry Vacuum

    I didn't know this tool existed untill today. I've been helping an electrician instal LEDs lights in my mothers inlaws business and he brought one in today. It's a tool box sized wet/dry vac and blower run off of their standard 18v battery pack. It was actually quite impressive for a little...

    Good Friday the 13th

    I had a good day, and that even included doing a vomit clean up job. That was on a 10 year old car that was really well maintained. It was so clean it took me an hour less than I quoted. From there I went to detail a heavily modified 80's Corvette the was just purchased by the customer. Sorry...

    Something different: Horse Trailer Detail

    This is a horse trailer that one of my regular (other job) customers owns and is planning on selling. I believe she said she remembers buying it new in 1993. I think it cleaned up pretty well for how old it is. Not perfect, but much better. I cleaned the whole trailer inside and out. The inside...
