Why do I detail
1) love a clean car
2) Cars are expensive, why not take care of them mechanically and cosmetically

actually be cautious, even on the Stoners website they have this disclaimer

I have been through 2 of the Home Depot/Lowes/Costco units. They are usually priced @ $200-$400 (gas models). They usually run well for 1-2 years. The Engine is not the weakness. It is quite easy to tune a Briggs and Stratton, Tecumseh, or Honda. The challenge is the pumps that are typically...
baby backs, white corn on the cob, strawberries, raspberries, and mango's. And to munch on while waiting.....a french baguette to dip into some olive oil/balsamic vinegar/spices.
I have wet sanded and polished a 3M clear bra back to new. Used 3M 2000 grit and sanded by hand with soapy water. Followed with Flex 3401 and PC7424 orange pad and some 3M scratch X, then Wolfgangs 3.0 swirl remover, and then Wolfgangs finishing glaze, followed by your favorite wax.
