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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

DP High Performance Glass Restorer removes etched water spots from auto glass and restores perfect clarity. Apply with a polisher or applicator for I picked up a bottle of this since it was much cheaper per oz. than the Diamondite version and thought it would be worth it to try out. The glass...

I'm not fortunate enough to own a hydraulic scissor lift for removing wheels and getting to the undercarriage for full details, so I'm trying to find a decent floor jack and stands that are affordable and would work with cars and SUVs/trucks alike. I know you get what you pay for, but I'm...

...and WOW! I had been final step polishing with UNO or DCP with good results (much better with UNO) but never realized what I was missing until using PO85RD on my heavily water spotted roof. I had to do 2 passes with UNO and M105 on a MF pad to get most of it (wasn't going to wet sand the roof...

I'm looking for a (cheaper) close alternative to Z-8. It'll be used for simple AIO corrections when buffing off the residue to give it a little more protection, but I like the over-the-top shine that Z-8 gives. Thanks in advance.

I don't quite want to start a mobile setup yet due to the fact that I'm going to move next year and purchasing another vehicle/equipment would just be more stuff I'd need to move, but I would like to supplement my income by running a shop out of my garage. I was wondering if anybody on here...
