Post Your Unpacking Pictures

Coatings beat me to it but Etsy appears the be the place to find the blower nozzles as many are 3D printed.

Thanks for the heads up

I was ready to start cutting up PVC and stuff

There’s actually a “how to” to modify the Ego nozzle

No big deal just his Stubby nozzle for the Ego. II have to admit for a back ordered product he had the best communication of anything I’ve ordered from the pandemic.

I know a lot find his attitude abrasive (kinda a jerk but I feel he owns it well) but he puts a lot into researching and testing the products he offers.

I guarantee his PW testing has helped a few of us out. His content is informative (thought Scott from DPC owned Luxury Microfiber but found out he didn’t when Matt interviewed him.

He’s has know problem letting you know who makes his products. He literally sells what he likes.

He could have launched his own line and make a ton of dough but he would rather just rep the products he likes. His only 3 products have interesting stories how the came about. Again product HE likes.

I can’t say that I like him but I can definitely respect what he’s done business wise and for the detailing community.

If it was a different guy in front of the camera, with his content he’d be one of the top youtube detailing channels out there.

There are times where I find his temperament unbearable but at the same time, I can relate to some of his sentiments and character traits. The being a jerk thing is interesting because, as you say, he does not deny his foibles and tends to know he abrades at people. I'm the same, very intense and expect a lot of the people who I work with, and I know that rubs people the wrong way, but I get stuff DONE! I have also learn a LOT from watching his videos, in some cases giving me the confidence to do stuff I have never attempted before.

As a retailer, I also admire his approach to business. Value your product, value your knowledge and don't be afraid or ashamed for charging appropriately for it. I find constant discounting devalues your brand and products, in both monetary and non-monetary ways. I'm not saying businesses should rip people off, but value what you do and provide, otherwise what's the point.

I like that you do amazing work and then offer supplies to take care of their vehicles. Otherwise probably be getting swirl o matics or guys thinking they doing there. Ar Justice with Amazon junk.

Got one of those brushes that has become popular to apply tire shine. First saw it posted here by coatingsarecrack. I got mine from Mr. Bezos, just look up "flat top craft ink blending brush".

The brush works flawlessly and is now my go to for applying tire products. For knobby off road tires I think I'd stick with a flag tipped brush due to the larger surface area and all the peaks and valleys.

I find it likes to drink a lot of product. I now apply product with coating saver applicator. Follow up with this to get it into all the grooves and lettering. Great combo.

Late on the ball as usually

But got me a cheap PW handle with the attachement for Kärcher K-series. The piece between the hose and the attachement is a swiwel wich they came out with a year ago. That's the sad part with the K-series connections is just for them. And now I need to get all switched over to QC And to get the right orifice on the nozzle tips. The ones that came with it is just a little bit to small so the pressure gets to high. I have a set that's to big so they work for now.

So far I've used it with TW graphene acrylic tire shine and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, might be due to the thicker consistency. Gonna try it with some DG 253 which is thinner and see what happens. Thanks for the heads up!

I also used with TWGACSCTSTQW……. I know some speak to it needing to be primed but I did two tires. Tried second with the applicator and used about half as much.

Maybe next time I’ll try priming it more. The saver applicators I used were just the normal ones. I think the product proof barrier may have made it go further. The brush probably used as much product as the old foam applicator I used.

So the stubby came in! You all who are thinking of buying it your welcome…….

Looks amazing. Build quality is awesome great size. Set up for future attachments.

Has a rubberized tip so no need for a Blower Band…… BUT

I gotta think that through all the testing no one thought to test fit it to the blower. Fit’s loose enough you can jiggle it. Not quality I would expect.

I still like design better than other’s out there but feel I shouldn’t have to mod it myself for $60. Doesn’t leak any air so I’m thinking a rubber trim or something.

Matt had video where he fixed it with duct tape.

Edit: I tested it out and doesn’t rattle or jiggle while carrying it around. Also works really well no leaks and no rattles while in use which was what IWas afraid off.

My second section clip on well and didn’t come off with slight tugging. I’ll post more thoughts when using to dry car.

If I did all over I’m still not a fan of the Stubby Nozzle Co 3D printed one. I would order the Ego gutter blower kit and use the attachment to hook up the length of tubes.

Credit to OCD detail saw this on his review of the nozzle.

I looked at the Stubby Nozzle website and kind of choked on the price

And if the fit isn't there I am back to the drawing board

I will probably just mod something up with some PVC fittings or just cut and shape the factory tube somehow

Plus I am confused, what is the Apexaire deal all about?

Is that required to fit the stubby one?

 

[The Guz]

You guys should just use my detailed image affiliate discount code for the stubby nozzle. It may not look as nice as the OG one but it is not loose and lots cheaper.

 

[Coatingsarecrack]

On a happier note everything I’ve been waiting on has come in!

New 7” round Phillips LED headlights.

My Hotchkis Rear swayBar

My Ridetech front swayBar.

Had to go with these particular 2 as the mount up to the new RT front control arms and existing Hotchkis rear ones.

My professor Kaos adidas ugly I know but love Butters from SP

Apex aire is one Obsessed garage selling stubby nozzle co is the other.

Stubby nozzle co does have free shipping. Just get the Ego gutter blowing kit. You get a stubby nozzle in that and it’s only $55. You’ll also can probably find it locally.

Nope, I’m running a Kobalt blower so it’s Stubby or DIY

I have a reducer from my old shop vac similar to the one you showed

Might be in storage or ???
