Hey guys, there’s a few hours left on todays sale and I’m thinking this thread might help some of us who might be undecided about what to purchase, or maybe some people have been thinking about a certain item but have never pulled the trigger because the certain item is borderline pricey and they’re not sure if it’s worth it.

So name something [doesn’t matter if it’s cheap or expensive] that you wish you would’ve bought alot sooner.

1. Metro Sidekick
2. Gorrila Platform
3. Kwazar Pump Sprayer

Who’s next
 
Pressure washer and foam cannon. As far a products go I really love Reload
 
Fed Ex just showed up and delivered this package to me.

Perfect timing. I’ve been wanting this for a long time and finally decided to order it a few days ago. 36” crevasse tool w/ detachable brush end. I got this more for cleaning around the house. Reach behind sofa, bed, furniture, etc.

Ahh, yes - I too like my Metro Sidekick. :props:

1. - I don't know when Flex released the 3401 but I wish I had one back in the 90's or at least as soon as they came out.

2. - Cyclo Brush Attachments. I love these tools - carpet, fabric, vinyl, leather, scrubbing via machine with these brushes saves me so much time in the shop & quite frankly is a far superior way of scrubbing.

3. Eftpos Machine in the shop. Had this since we moved into the new shop & it has changed the cashflow into the shop completely.

Great thread Eldorado2k, very interested to see what others come up with.

Another vote for the Metro Sidekick...when I saw this sale, I thought I would pull the trigger on it, just to find out that the Sidekick is excluded from any sale codes.
 
Speed brush
Pressure Washer
HD Speed

Also, I purchased a Porter Cable 7424xp in 2012, but too afraid to use it until I started reading everyone's advice on this forum last year. I wish I would have used it a lot sooner!!!

I should have bought the Flex 3401 when it first came out.

How long did you wait? I bought my 1st Hdtv in 2007.

That sucks. Everyone knows Rupes are excluded, but I never knew Metro was too.

A decent DA polisher.

Which DA polisher would you rank below decent?


Here’s another thing I wish I would’ve bought sooner: These mitts. I’ll give credit to Incredimitt, since I believe they were the 1st ones to offer these, then everyone else suddenly released their blatant copies of this same mitt.

I remember thinking the 1st time I used 1 of these “oh damn, this mitt is crazy”

Which polisher do you normally use these brushes with?
 
1. Upgrade from my old smallest nilfisk pressure wash to a more effective one. The kärcher k7 is awesome to work with and it has saved me alot of time.
2. A car soap that don't leave wax or glossenhancer behind. Now my lsp of choice or my spray wax works as intended.

I have two set up in the shop, & I run them on Rockwell DA polishers. Rockwell is basically the equivalent of maybe a Harbour Freight DA for you guys. Pretty cheap but I figured they were gonna do some dirty work so I didn't want to spend a whole lot of coin & if they died, I would just replace them at little expense. They are solid workhorses though & am yet to kill either of them, they have almost three years work under there belts. :buffing:

The Griot's PFM drying towels. I bought them as soon as they came out, but I wish they came out a long time ago. Also, GTechniq's CSL is so easy to apply and remove it makes wonder why I took so long to start using it.
