I have a slightly used UDM that I am ready to offload. I will throw in all the pads and polish I have. I mostly used it a few years ago to clean upholstery. I am in Everett (north of Seattle).

My wife and I are looking at buying our first home. The one we looked at last night needs some work (its more in our price range that way). The garage in particular was used as a makeshift junkyard/autoshop. There were engine parts laying around, tools everywhere, a carcass of a car, etc. I know...

Process: Washed, had to clay the hood and other horizontal surfaces (did a complete claying 2 months ago). I used Paintwork Cleanser on it by hand (I don't have a DA yet). Then I applied 5 coats of UPGP, 2 coats on the glass. After the 5th coat dried I had to go to work and the car endured...

I am looking into getting a wet vac. I intend to use Megs APC 4:1 with an upholstery brush to clean carpets, mats, and upholstery for my own use (I am definitely not going professional). So I would like to know what you all would consider minimum requirements for one: HP, and SP mostly. Any...

My wife's old car had its rear deck carpeting scorched by the Florida sun for about 10 years, it looks really bad. I recently bought a new Mustang and I'd like to avoid that fate (even though I'm in Seattle now) Any suggestions? Would 303 protectant be usefull if sprayed on it? Would the Ultima...
