Hey HAMMER77... I'm an an auto tech by trade. When to change it depends on where you live. As a rule of thumb, I change mine out on my Camry every 6 months. Keeps the evap coil from getting dirty, which will kill the ecap core, and most likely cause a leak or decreased airflow and cooling.

THE END IS NIGH !! THE END IS NIGH !! REPENT, FOR THE END IS NIGH !! I'm also getting this as of 3-22-2017 at 8:50am

Thats true. I did a Camry radiator the other day at work. Quote was 3.2 hours. Pulled the condenser, the fans, and drained the radiator, and had it out in 45 minutes. Part was already here, so slapped it back in, Vacuum filled the coolant, evac and recharge the ac, start, monitor temp, test...

Dude..get a Flex 3401. I just bought a Rupes Mark I I 15, and while I like it, as others have said, it requires a nice learning curve to understand it. I did my wife's Infiniti q50 yesterday. I tried my rupes to correct some water spots on the paint. It started stalling out when I got to the...

6 hours. That's what it took me to clean my wife's 2015 Light Blue Infinity Q50. And I didn't even bother to vacuum it out. Started at 10am. Had to move my truck and car so i could get hers right in the middle of the driveway. My plan was just wash and Collinite 845, clean and dress the...

94-04 Ford Mustang Carpet Coupe and Convertible 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 Thats where i got a replacement carpet for my 2002 Camry that i inherited from my step-son. The car was totally trashed, and rather than clean the carpet, i just replaced it. Since you...

Re: The Air Test - Using NON RUPES pads on RUPES Polishers That is correct, Mike. I'm starting to view the Rupes polisher as a WHOLE system. Kinda like Apple. Got an iPhone? Your gonna use iMessage. Gor a Rupes polisher? Your gonna use Rupes pads. I see my Flex as an Android based...

Honey...we're about to have 1 less mouth to feed.....

Re: The Air Test - Using NON RUPES pads on RUPES Polishers ha ha....I JUST got my Rupes 15 Mark II from a fellow member that sold it to me. I have a 2002 Camry that I painted a few years ago, and needless to say, it's in dire need of another paint job. The paint was faded and I basically don't...

So, i've been thinking of getting into detailing for money instead of fun. I've slowly acquired a lot of tools for doing the jobs right.....Mytee Lite II carpet extractor, Vapor Chief 75 steam cleaner, Tornador Black, Flex 3401, and next week my Rupes Mark II 15 comes in, and i was recently...

HD Speed ordered. Thanks guys.

Hey guys... My boss wants me to clean up her Suburban a little. Due to time constraints, doing a full paint correction is not in the cards. Basically a wash , claybar and wax. Looking at her paint, she has these spidermarks all over the truck. So. i'm looking for recommendations on a...

Don't do it. The paint has not fully cured, and your putting yourself in the position to pay to have his door repainted again if you do. Although the paint was "Customer ready for delivery", the underlying base coat needed to de-gas and the top layer of clear needs to FULLY cure. From a...

I ran the little generator thru a stress test yesterday. As i was off from my job, I had to remove the drivers seat on my 03 Dodge ram 1500 to replace the cushion. Since it only took me 5 minutes to get it out, i figured, what the hell...so i removed the passenger side, and then the frame. So...

Separate bank account. I make side money doing auto repair. That's my money. I worked for it. I sweated for for it, and on occasion, i bleed for it. It will not go towards a purse, earrings, jewelery, or high heels. It will go towards stupid s**t that I want, whether I need it or not. She...

I came into work last week, and saw that the pawn shop a few doors down had left out a generator. Thinking that they left it out on accident, i wheeled it into the shop. I'd return it when they opened up, as I know the owner . Out of curiosity, I tried to start it. The pull cord wound not budge...

hey, try working as an automotive tech. did an oil change? My check engine light came on after you did it. Transmission service? My tires need to be balanced....what did you do? AC service? Now it doesn't blow as cold as my neighbors car. And my all time favorite.... Car is towed in for a...

well guys, where Autogeek dropped the ball, a fellow member picked it up. I'm going to keep his name private, but a big thanks to THE MAN for working out the details on selling me his Rupes HD MKII 15. All this for a little more than I was going to get the old school Rupes 15 for.

I went to that pawn shop right down the street from where i work. They have a pretty beat up PC 7424 fro $35. I don't NEED a polisher, as I have a FLEX 3401 and a harbor freight DA polisher that's still kicking. But, as a man who believes HE WHO DIES WITH THE MOST TOYS WINS, i'm wondering if...

they canceled the order. If i NEEDED it, I would have raised all hell to get it. But, it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. YOUR website allowed the price to go thru. It also charged my credit card. I think from a customers standpoint, the price should be honored. Just my .02 cents
