    Filtered water - no drying? - Quick Washing Procedure for Car Dealership

    Hi Everyone, I've wanted to setup an easy procedure for our cash washing employee, and make it quick and painless. We have tight quarters here, and driving every car under the shade is unpractical. Furthermore, I wanted to install a water filtering system so that you could wash and rinse cars...

    Engine Cleaning (Hot Pressure Wash or Steam Clean) - Several Questions

    Wow those are nice indeed, a little way out of my price range. I would have to have a line of people waiting to get dry ice blasted in order to pay something like that off... Maybe it'll be something on the wishlist in the long run. In the mean time I will be seeing the difference between the...

    Engine Cleaning (Hot Pressure Wash or Steam Clean) - Several Questions

    So I have been looking into cleaning engines, not just detailing the top part and the plastics, but thoroughly cleaning the whole thing in effort to either make the car look good or to help find a leak. I have been doing a lot of research locally, and online but I figured I would ask the...

    Tape question.......

    Man I bought like 8 rolls of Blue Tape from Harbor Freight, and that stuff is bad... I have to press the roll against the car in order to let it stick, and not have it start ripping in different directions... if I try to extend anymore than 4-6" of tape, it rips.

    shop vac/blowers

    The Blower doesn't pull the air from the tank holding your trash, so you would be fine. I Just picked up a VacuMaid GV50, I was going to get the Bissell but this one was the same thing, with a little more power. I will write a review once I have it mounted and used.

    You Know You're An Autogeek When...

    Sick, Tired, and Sore - what is your product of choice?!?!?!?

When you are living a very physically demanding lifestyle (training fulltime/part time for an event) you will be consuming a...

    Meguiars DA Microfiber Correction System

    What is the proper care of the Microfiber pads and cleaning once you're done? I am using the 6" Griot's DA, with the 5" Backing plate and 5" pads. Should I try the 6" pads? (It was recommended to me by someone) or stick to 5" back plate w/ pads.
