    Motorhome/Trailer Polishing

    Hello there pros! I have a question for you. I sell various products to some of my local mobile guys and recently a mobile guy told me he was doing a trailer/toy hauler and needed to know a good polish for it. Do you treat a trailer or motorhome the same as you would a boat? Or is there...

    FS: PC backing plates

    During my 'every couple o'month' garage cleaning I came across these backing plates. They are threaded for the PC but are 6" across. The plastic wrap says "For 8" Pads" but, I have used these with my PC using 6.5" pads with no prob. I am asking $6.00 each for these and have three still in...

    My Favorite ONR Mitt

    Well after trying several types of mitts (Lambswool,cotton,MF, imitation wool) I think I have found my favorite when it comes to using No Rinse. I just found these at Costco this week for $10.99. There are three in a pack and it comes with two large MF drying towels. (I'll probably relegate them...

    Getting around emblems

    Hey everyone. Can some of you give me your tips/tricks for getting around the nameplate and model emblems on vehicles? Nothing worse than a nice detail and a lousy white haze left around the various "badges". Thanks in advance for all your advice!

    Kudo's to Shop-Vac

    Every so often a company does right and should be rewarded for it so here goes. I bought a small 5 gal/5hp Shop-Vac to use in my part time detail business. Neeless to say, it has seen its fair share of house work too. All in all though, I have maybe 20-30 hours on the motor. Well today I was...

    Sonus Acrylic Spritz

    While I am not a big QD fan, since I haven't found many I care for, I have to admit that Sonus Acrylic Spritz is changing my perspective on that. Recently I used this product on my wife's 03' Expedition. I was curious to see how well it would work considering that I did not have a true acrylic...

    Another leather care question

    I would like to get input from my fellow Autopians regarding their experiences with leather cleaning and care products. I have been using the CG combo and have been VERY happy with it. Recently, however, I got a 10 year old car for my niece and the leather inside was somewhat brittle. The CG...

    Wheel and Tire Size

    I'll be the first to admit that I do not know much when it comes to tires and wheels so I pose this question to whoever has information to share. I have an 06' Corolla that has the standard 15" tires. Will upsizing to a 16" or 17" tire/wheel combos have much effect on the gas mileage and or...

    Porter Cable DEAL!!

    I lucked out and found several Porter Cable 7336SP kits for sale at a local hardware store. I only have a need for 1, so I am selling the rest. I am asking $105/each plus S/H. (Parcel post is prob cheapest since they are somewhat heavy) These kits are the ones that come with the sanding...
