    Griot's Steamer (Vapamore), any experiences?

    Just noticed that Griot's is selling what looks like a Vapamore unit on their website, anybody have experiences with this unit? So far the top of my list for steamer purchase has been the VX-5000 (which cost more than twice as much), so are there really any jobs that the VX could do which this...

    Product idea for DA polishers, does it exist yet?

    I have yet to buy a second GGDA to keep as backup/smaller BP for easy swapping but I was thinking about a QD for the DA spindle. The male piece would obviously thread into the DA with a square tip at the other end (think like a 1/4" or 3/8" ratcheting wrench head where sockets attach into), and...

    HD Polish review!

    I'll keep this short, I used the new HD Polish to take away some high spots of some 1 yr old cured Opti-Coat 2.0 (my bad...was applying it outside without adequate lighting and it was getting late, but it made for a good test for this new polish). Beautiful new labels and bottles! HD didn't...

    Save $77 on a Foam Lance

    Just thought I'd share this. I picked up a foam lance just like the one from AG only without the Pinnacle/AG/BF label on the bottle for $42.99, as opposed to the $119.99 that AG charges. I contacted the manufacturer asking about spare bottles and caps for extra detergent tanks, and while they...

    Two "OTC" sub-$200 Pressure Washer Mini Review

    Just in case people were looking for an "OTC" pressure washer from Lowe's/Home Depot, I figured I should throw up a little mini review of the 2 pressure washers I bought from both stores so you don't have to go through the same hassle as me. Shop Greenworks 1700 PSI 1.4 GPM Electric...

    How do you know "Original Formula" M105 if you see it?

    I've found a website that looks like it has a bunch of old school Meguiar's products but since I've never seen what is actually considered the "original formula" M105, I can't be sure. The only thing I really know about the old M105 is that it is for rotary use only and is apparently amazing to...

    Anyone use MTM Foam Lance?

    MTM Hydro Professional Foam Lance Adjustable with 32 oz. Bottle | Wayfair They just restocked on them today so I was going to order one (seems just like other foam lances but less than half the cost...), but I was curious if anybody had experience with this brand. I don't want to get some...

    Give up on garage business to go mobile?

    Business is slow and I think it's because people are either a) reluctant to drop off at a residence or b) don't want to deal with finding a ride to drop off/pick up their vehicle. Have any of you abandoned a garage business to branch out into mobile? I'm not going to get a truck/van for a...

    Has anyone tried HD Speed vs. (other AIO)?

    As much anti-AiO as I am, my D151 is pretty decent at correction and I was curious to see if anybody has tried the new HD Speed and could compare it to an experience with other popular AIOs (in this case I'm hoping to find some D151 comparisons). Durability isn't that important considering...

    Did I miss out on the free shipping?

    Just wondering if I missed out on the free shipping window for the new HD line. I swear I remember signing up for an e-mail newsletter saying that it would offer free shipping when the game changer would happen, but I never got an e-mail. Maybe it's still early but was just curious since I'm...

    Air compressors, a couple questions

    I currently have a 3 gallon 2.5 SCFM@90psi electric compressor (pretty tiny, good for small detailing of vents/limited for carpets, etc.) however want something a bit beefier without breaking the bank. I was wondering what SCFM you guys use in your shops. I want to start using a Siphon Spray...

    Decide between 3 pressure washers...

    Keep in mind I get a 10% discount at Lowe's & Home Depot (which helps the 8%+ sales tax). I'm looking for an electric PW for this thing we all do here and have narrowed it down to 3 (however am open to ideas, would kind of prefer local purchase since electric pressure washers are usually hit or...

    Best steamers?

    I am in need of a pressure steamer for engine bays and wheels, and the old posts I've been able to dig up have raved about the VX5000 quite a bit, however I'm not sure if anything newer and greater has came out yet. Just wondering if someone has some recommendations for a good steamer for any of...

    Poorboy's Air Freshener - do you dilute it?

    I picked up some Green Apple and Pina Colada air freshener 32oz bottles from AG and I didn't see anything about diluting them on the label, however I gave a few sprays of Green Apple into my SUV today to test it out and it's a bit overwhelming (the whole car smells like gummy bears). Next time...

    I've got a business name, but am afraid it might be taken...

    I don't want to get "company" reputation mixed with some other hack or vice versa. This is my 1-3 car a weekend "business" I plan on running out of my garage for the time being, but I don't like the idea of not having a name, nor would I like to have to change the name later down the road...
