Pretty much spot on in procedure, the only thing I would do different is after extracting all the water from the carpet and padding (and any puddling in the sheet metal) is to follow up with a peroxide treatment like P&S Finisher. As long as the source is removed, the peroxide treatment will...

Speaking of spending more than you have to, lol, has anyone considered converting an old parts washer into a pad cleaning station? Already has a nylon brush, pump and heater for spraying/soaking/scrubbing pads in your chosen pad cleaning solution.

Same experience as OP, billed as latest greatest thing since sliced clay, so I bought the hype a few years back. Got the entire shebang, pads, cloths and the tiny hand held scrubbers. Worked great at first, but quickly degraded, started having the super sticky feeling and didn't notice as I used...

I use my Rupes iBrid Nano and I spray Acrysol on a 1" microfiber pad and buff the spot.

Yes, I've got an old Hand Warmer Flex 3401 as well, just tend to gravitate more to picking up the Rupes these days, with the right pad and compound it'll do the same job.

From what I see, the rest of the paint might be salvageable for a vast improvement. We bought a 2006 Trailblazer from an auction in Orlando, black paint, every panel dull and faded. After doing a test spot I found Rupes Yellow DA pad on the Rupes LHR21 with matching Rupes compound tackled the...

Apologies if wrong forum. Recently promoted one of mine to another department in the dealership and looking for a replacement. Open to all skill levels and experience, from hobbyist to professional. Must be detail oriented (no pun intended), willing to work in a team setting and have a great...

Same here. Another aspect I enjoy is how his content didn't change when his channel and shop grew, he's still just as dedicated to testing, modifying and approving of machines and tools that the average weekend consumer can afford as he was in the beginning, as well as still showing off the...

Same, after some labor insecurities recently, I was finally ready to send someone to his September class. Best of luck in your future endeavors, Mike, you will be greatly missed.

Kranzle you can find through Obsessed Garage or DirtKiller.

How do you plan on using it? Running a business off of it or just weekend clean up duties? Business - Kranzle K1122TST, $1,300, we've abused ours for years, worked daily 6 days a week, and it still runs like a champ. We destroyed a few $350 cheap gas pressure washers in the beginning, as they...

Being able to adjust color temperature is a great feature to look for, but brutal honesty here, I still have a pair of LED work lamps and a tripod I picked up from Lowes years ago that works great for me. The only addition I've made to my light collection is adding a Buff Brite LED Flamethrower...

We use our Kranzle PW for engine bay cleaning on all of our used car reconditioning and for detail clients. Never had an issue come of it. PW caps out at 1400 PSI, we only use the 40-degree nozzle and we still keep the gun a few feet away from the engine. Just check the engine over before...

Haven't had to change the backing plate on any of my Rupes (LHR21 Mk3, 75E and iBrid Nano) due to pad separation related damage, the Claw pad removal tool Rupes sells makes it quick and painless to swap pads on their buffers. Now my old Flex BEAST Hand Warmer edition is another story, the...

It comes down to explaining how they can transform their current expense of out sourcing another company to a gross profit production center by hiring, training and promoting. Especially after you show them they won't spend anywhere near their currently monthly spend to buy their own equipment...

Anything to lower the surface friction, like a wax, sealant or ceramic/graphene coating, to make rinsing pollen off quicker/easier would help. Depending on what your water situation is, a drying aid may be needed to prevent a trade off from pollen to water spots.

Not aware of any product, other than a garage, to stop pollen from covering your car.

Our first steamer, and still only steamer purchase, was the Dupray Hill Injection over 2 years ago. It's withstood high volume, production based demands of used car reconditioning with only a single warranty claim, which was as easy as sending a video to Dupray and they had me a replacement 2...

In my experience, dealers offer a spray sealant from lines like First Place Finish, Permaseal, etc. The vendors pitch it to the F&I guys with a video showing how water beads and sheets off after applying their product and then follows it up with spilling coffee and ice cream on it, throwing...

We use the CR Spotless DIC-20 dual filter unit in our, mostly production based, shop and due to the extreme TDS count of the county water supply, I use it full time. This results in us replacing the resin every 45 to 60 days. Well worth the investment though, no water spots.
