I did this myself, probably the most fulfilling DIY job I've ever done. Its a lot of work, the prep was critical, and its critical to follow the instructions. Did not want some big-box store epoxy coating, I wanted the best I could reasonably get for a DIYer. I got this kit, the Wolverine...

Just got this bad-boy: Demo Model Prolux Professional Shop Wall Mounted Garage Vac Wet Dry Pi – Prolux Cleaners I wanted good suction, blower function, wet/dry if possible, and a long hose. I compared this to the MetroVac models, and the VacuMaid. Prolux has more suction and CFM, and was...

Metrovac Vac N Blo vs ProLux Garage vac (Title Edit) I hate vacuuming car interiors. Always have. Traditionally have used whatever shop vac we had, but the hoses suck, I hate wheeling it around, dealing with the cord etc etc. Couple years ago I got a $70 Ryobi cordless ~2gal shop vac which...

My resolution this spring is: "Don't use something thats not enjoyable" I still like to use traditional paint sealants, but most of them just smell like...chemicals, which is not enjoyable. What are some traditional sealants that smell good or even decent? Preferably not spray sealants...

Just thought I`d share with everyone how I store my waxes. Someone a long time ago mentioned this in passing, and I thought it was a genius idea. The mini fridge keeps everything a constant temperature- some of them have been in there for 8 years, and they havent changed consistency in...

This isnt a pure "Show N' Shine" thread but we got this a few months ago and just now got around to snapping some iPotato pics We test drove almost every small SUV/CUV in this segment, and by far, the Hyundai was the most well rounded.. It beat out the Toyota Rav4, Mazda CX5 and CX3, Jeep...

My wife is about to sell her worn out 2006 Chevrolet Aveo, so what better time to answer one of life's greatest mysteries: How much clearcoat is removed during *aggressive* swirl removal? To try to answer this question, I used the following approach, which was somewhat popular ~4 years ago...

My wife is considering a new 2016 Hyundai Tucson and while looking at their website, I found this gem: "we use an elastic chemical compound called Scratch Recovery Clear to help scratches heal" https://www.hyundaiusa.com/new-thinking/quality.aspx That sounds a lot like the paint that Nissan...

I've been out of the game for several years, so my wife was awesome enough to buy some me some new products to try out- she said she got some killer deals :props: Christmas and birthday are only a few days apart so I get a double whammy!
