    Generators

    Yamaha EF4500ISE EF4500iSE - 4000 Watt Electric Start Inverter Generator I use this one, it's a super quiet 4500 watt quiet Yamaha. I love it. I can run multiple heavy power consuming electrical equipment off it at once, like my big shop vac and 20 gallon compressor, etc. I keep it in my...

    Sorry for the late response. I run the compressor off the client's power via extension cord, or my generator if electricity isn't available at the location. The unit uses 110V.

    Chemical Guys Products?

    Chemical Guys in my limited experience has been really hit-or-miss. Their products for me are polarizing, some working excellent and as described, and others falling way short of expectations. One thing that I can attest to as many others have pointed out is the longevity of their LSP products...

    Every summer when the temps start to cruise past 105f I really wonder why I ended up here and start questioning my life choices, lol. At least the north looks nice. :)

    Any tips for Subaru Crosstrek or Imprezza engine detail?

    I don't see how these are different than any other engine. If you're having electrical issues afterwards, you're getting way too much water somewhere you shouldn't. Stay away from coil packs, fuel injector harness plugs, MAP and MAF sensors, and other major connections. If you're super worried...

    This is my 2010 Chevrolet Express 1500. Has 49,000 miles on it right now. 4.3 liter V6. I plan on putting some nicer wheels and upgrading some of my equipment in the near future.

    Tornador Vs Steam Cleaner

    Steam removes stains in seats and carpet, cleans melted gummy bears and chewing gum out of cupholders and consoles... it breaks down really heavy stuff. But dust, light surface grime, etc are good for the Tornador. It just displaces tons of air, so you can switch the valve off to blow only air...

    Tornador Vs Steam Cleaner

    As said before, they are all "important", but if I had to rank them in level of importance: 1) Steamer- it comes out nearly every job. If I didn't have a steamer, I'd not work that day. 2)Extractor- this is a tough one.. because it is a "necessity", yet I avoid using it at all cost. The...

    Tornador Vs Steam Cleaner

    A big stand up portable 26 gallon Husky belt driven job. It can rock the Tornador or pretty much anything I need it for. I have a 2010 Chevrolet 1500 Express, and it fits just perfectly inside with only a an inch or so to spare above it.

    Tornador Vs Steam Cleaner

    Honestly, they are both important, at least to me. It also depends on the specific job, and no two jobs are exactly the same. I find myself using both on interiors and engine bays. On engine bays, I use the steam to break down super heavy grime deposits, and I use the Tornador with apc/dressing...

    Last minute buffer options...HELP

    The Porter Cable 7424XP is on Amazon right now for $120. Just pull another $30 bucks out and toss it into the "gift" for you and get a decent machine.

    How to detail quicker

    /thread Lol. But seriously, all of this. I don't do as much polishing, as most clients don't really want it. When I do, it's an AIO like D151. When it comes to more proper correction, I like M100 on microfiber cutting pads, followed by M205. The microfiber pads are the best, a huge time...

    Fastest way to good polish?

    Maybe I'm the only detailer who hates doing polishing? Most of my clients (like most everyone's) don't care much about their paint until the clearcoat is nearly gone. They also find it hard to justify polishing out swirls for $250+, and I don't like breaking my back for 5+ hours on what they're...

    Steam Cleaner Advice

    Right now I'm using a Wagner 915 portable. It's finicky, it has no water level indicator, but it's been very good considering the sub $100 price. I plan on upgrading and heard quite a bit about the VX5000. I was under the impression that as price increases, as does performance, durability, and...

    Just saw my first 2015 Mustang....OH NO!

    I'm going to have to disagree with some points of your post. Displacement is an easy way to make reliable long term power, but displacement alone doesn't determine whether or not an engine is powerful, robust, or more efficient. For example, let's take a step back to the 80s and 90s. The power...
