So after awhile of using a leaf blower to remove the pooled water from door handles, front grills, plastic molding etc another member on the forum was using this vacuum's exhaust port to dry off the vehcile. Well a leaf blower does work, it is a bit hard on the ears which means you should be...

Hey everyone, New to coatings and I was thinking of putting it on the g/f's car to save some time going forward. I see that most come in 30ml or 50ml bottles. Just curious how much a small SUV would require for one layer of coating. 2013 White Kia Sportage SX Depending on how it goes I...

When I was in the market for a new polisher, it was because of want and not need. The GG 6 inch has done a lot and works amazing. The only complaint I had was after correcting paint for 3-4 hours your hands would be so worn out and numb from the vibrations. I don't detail professionally so this...
