People charge, in general, more money to detail larger vehicles. If someone asked you for a discount on a mini-cooper or other similar small car, would you do it?? How much??

I have had it with Karcher pressure washers. Over the past 15 years I have owned four gas powered units and all of them had pump problems. Lucky for me COSTCO took most of them back. I thought I would be smart and picked up an electric one which worked great until the warranty ran out and...

I am considering a purchase of an ozone machine. In my research I found this little gem and would like to know if anyone has had experience with this problem? Questions often arise whether ozone air cleaners are appropriate for use in unoccupiedspaces. They are sometimes promoted to treat...

For those on Oahu......Shipping on this is almost triple the price for small quantities, but goes down as quantities increase. Therefore is anyone interested in a group buy with me????

I have a Harley Davidson w/ chrome out the "ying-yang" (professional term). Over the weekend I used the old school method of taking out surface rust and minor pitting in the chrome with aluminium foil. This works wonders, but I wonder what the long term effect of this is? Anyone out there...

You pro's out there give me your opinion. You are a one man outfit, you determin price, you keep all the money. The client knows all this, so is it an insult if they do not tip??

I have been a fan of wash brushes over the years, but have reluctant to use one on my new car. Recently I purchased a Megs Ultra Plush Wash Mop and love it. It has a plush pad that really holds soap well. Being on the end of a wand alows me to really aggitate/clean the head well in...

I just tried out my new system this weekend and have to say that I am very impressed with the results. My first use was on my new car. I did not use DI water for my wash and first rinse, but only for the final rinse (less cost). I then parked the car, soaking wet, out in the Hawaiian...

I have a Karcher 2500 psi 2.5 gpm pressure washer and would like to reduce the gpm down to 1. Why? I may be getting the CR spotless system and I don't want to waste the deionized water.

Help me decide if a CR spotless system is worth the money? :confused: I figure that a 2.5gpm pressure washer used for 5 min each rinse uses 7.5 gallons. If I wash the car 2x per week that would be 15 gallons each week. 15 gallons per week is about 780 gallons per year (15x52). The...

I am thinking about getting a sheet of 30mil magnetic sign material colored to match my paint. I will use it to cover my doors as ding protection when I cannot find a good parking stall. My theory is that it will not attract a lot of attention like the ding protectors on the market and...

I joined the better car care.com forum, but after lurking around I found something interesting. Discussions about products other than the ones they sell are limited to only one place. :shocked I don't know about you, but it seems a little biased to me. What do others think?
