I just picked up my cargo van last weekend and am confused on how to secure the equipment I have and will be getting. I know asking this makes me sound a little naive but :dunno The rear of the van has a grooved floor with a pvc/foam-backed lining covering the entire length. I will need to...

Last week I was toolin' around and came across a site that sold six 200 gram bars for something like $106. I know it wasn't a supporter of this site. Sort of an off-beat online store. Anyone have an idea of what retailer this is??? Google was no help and my bookmarks are a little...

Referrals: User Notes: . . . in my user control panel. What are these and why don't I have any?! :wha Thanks!

A few weeks ago I got really tired of the hand-me-down (wood) ladder I was using for detailing. I would be washing an SUV's roof, hands all wet and go to move the ladder a few feet and, yeooow. . . splinter after splinter. I went to OSH to check out what they had. I came across the Polder...

I just received my next period statement for my Geico Auto Insurance, 1/21-7/21. MY premium went up 15%, ironically! CA has some new tax or is raising the standard for GD's as of January first effecting my rates. I called and they told me that because I do not qualify for the 5 year CA good...

I am making a push this spring with my mobile operation but will be juggling a second job (the one I am trying to get out of) for the first few months. They are pretty flexible with the schedule they give me and I have the option of working as few days as I want, luckily. All of my shifts are...

I am making a push this spring with my mobile operation but will be juggling a second job (the one I am trying to get out of :doh) for the first few months. They are pretty flexible with the schedule they give me and I have the option of working as few days as I want, luckily. All of my shifts...

I have been doing some research/price comparisons and have found most places offer the option of upgrading the pump that you buy with a PW/Tank set-up. I know that 2000psi is plenty 'nuff so I ask, are there any benefits in durability when upgrading your pump. Here is an example. . . . click...

As the title states I will be selling my 4Runner (97 ltd w/120k miles) next month :miss and have a bit of a dilemma. My tires are down to about, I don't know 3-5000 miles left. Now I only drive about 500 a month but considering I am selling it do I . . . a. replace the tires with some...

So I just booked 2 tickets down to PV for the first week in february. Probably book a hotel by tuesday morning so I ask you ladies and gentlemen this, anyone have any great or horrible experiences down there? I have some research to do tomorrow and was hoping you all could point me in the...

I couldn't handle looking at the swirls in my truck anymore. I have been so busy lately and hadn't really had any time to take care of my own ride until today. I worked the paint above the fender flares with SSR2 with the exception of SSR1 on the hood, not too bad. After I finished with...

Would I be safe in using Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil on my 4Runners seats. AFAIK they are painted (coated?) leather?? Side note: I stopped by a local auto upholstery shop to ask some questions and he told me that leather conditioners really didn't do much, they are pretty much for looks...

Looking into picking up an air compressor mainly for blowing water/dust/etc out of crevices like window jams etc. I would like for it to be somewhat quiet and 70lbs or less. Amazon doesn't list the decibels for each model, so I am wondering, what type of AC am I looking for. the way I...

My buddy is getting ready to sell his Yukon XL (Black on Charcoal Leather) and would like it to be professionally detailed. If anyone is up for this job or down to refer me to another person that you would have do your own auto please pm me. I check frequently. :D Thanks! -Stu.

I am in the market for an extractor this summer, along with quite a few others I've noticed. I'm in Santa Barbara and from all the calls I have made and googlefinity searches I cannot find a service center closer than Oxnard or Santa Maria, each roughly fourty-five minutes to an hour away...

I am going on a trip with my Gf up to the Bay Area this Thursday night. Last time I went I got pelted with bugs and some new chips on my bonnets nose. My Question. . . .because I spaced on getting an EGR bugshield and Monday nothing ships, can I just lay down like two more coats of Natty Wax...

Here to say I will be looking over all of your backs for the rest of the life of the site or me. :-p I LOVE to detail. . .cars, trucks, bikes, computer keyboards, the teapot my girlfriend has been using for years with all the tarnish on it from SoCal water, you name it. I don't post so much...

Hey, I was looking for a sunshade for my 4Runner and GF's Legacy and ran across this, clicky that looked like a nice product. Both of our cars are parked outside all day and although tinted, they get hot. Would the side shade be degrading towards tinted front windows? It seems that the...

When I bought my 4Runner last year I worked the hell outta the paint, like 12 hours. The previous owner wasn't too meticulous. I removed a lot of problems in the paint with the use of DACP and yellow to white pads. One thing I was hung up on was the latitudinal marring that runs just above...

What should I prep my windows in my SUV or gf's Subaru Wagon with. I know if I am going to a tinter I should expect the person completing the work to do a thourough job on the preperation for the tint but, I don't trust no one as much as ME self in relation to cleanliness. At worst, its...
