Alpine CDA-9851 CD player with MP3 / WMA playback at Crutchfield.com I want to see if there is an interest for my used 2005 model Alpine with the I-pod controller. Unit is in perfect shape and has only been used as a pre-amp with the internal amp never being used. Great CD player and has...

I am using alot of products from my local detail supply store, and they work great, but contain silicones. I want to know if they arent good for paint or if they are an indication of cheaper products.

Ok, I had to run down to the beach place this weekend to take care of a couple of details that have been in the works for a couple of months. Ended up being the hottest and most humid day of the year, and I am detailing outside and not in my normal detail shop.:wall But here it goes...

Ok, some of yall remember back in March I got rear-ended by an Explorer at 50+ mph at an intersection. Here are some "before" pics. Well, after about 2months of waiting for the truck to get right, and a month of putting off this detail, I finally gave it the proper wash/polish it...

I found this in one of my gf's horse catalogs. It was $15.95 and looks to be exactly the same thing as the Gilmour foam gun and I have even seen a pic of it in use and it is even called a foamer and had a bunch of foam on the horse. Look at it and see what yall think! Click on the larger pic...

I have the picture of the Foam Cannon that Justin used, and I cant help but notice how simple it is. All we would need would be the Trigger for the pressure washer, the adjustable nozzle at the end, and the "sucker valve" in the middle. I know that we can get the trigger, quick connects...

I am more excited to get a tool than I have ever been. Got it from coastaltool.com for $177 shipped with the bag, hoop handle, and 2 pads. I will be using mine with some 6.5" LC pads to start off with, but I would like to move up to EDGE 2000 pads in the future. I have to thank user JuneBug...

I found it online for $165 + $9.00 shipping at coastal tool. Makita 9227CX3 Polisher with Polishing Bonus Kit I was looking for the Hitachi to save some money, but if this one is just as cheap, I will get the makita.

Ok, these details belong to my fathers landscaper. He owns a landscaping company here in Youngsville, NC and loves to have his equipment cleaned every 2 weeks. I always come out and detail all his stuff on Fridays while he goes to the lake. He actually has 2 others I detail, but these came out...

Hey guys, I had a chance to check out user June Bug's Makita, and I love it. Right now I am using a friends Vector rotary, and I dont want to break that one, so I need a rotary. I may end up buying a new Hitachi or Makita, but I wanted to make sure that no-one on here had one for sale first...

I have to be choosing fairly quickly, people are asking me for cards to pass to their friends/family members for more buisness. I qnat more buinsess so I need some cards. Here are the names I have picked out. Wax Attax Clean Machine Wiggins Auto Detailing Showroom Shine...

I use 6.5" pads on my rotary as well as my PC. I feel that they are more manuverable and they save me money by not having to buy 2 size pads. I think my pad selection is one of my detailing cabnets weak points. I have 4 polish pads that are well used, one cut pad, and one finish pad that is...

Ok, Turtle Wax sent me some of their newest products they have including the ICE line and some new MF's and a waterless wash product asking me to test them and write an honest review. They did not compensate me in any way, they only sent me the products. I told them I was going to be brutally...

I am definatly in the market for a foam gun. They look wayyy to fun. It will be for my personal use, in my area you could not leave foam on a car that long dwelling, it would dry and spot. I have talked to Justin about the one he uses, but I want to see what others are using and how much sucess...
