The Ridgid Pro Pack ($89.95 from Home Depot) is PERFECT for mobile detailers like myself. It matches the HP of my old unit (5 hp), but look at the space savings: Cubby for attachments: Long extension cord and vaccum hose that extends to 7': All tucks away into a...

fresh off the truck. I need to do it as quickly and cheaply as possible. What's the VERY quickest and cheapest way to get a layer of wax on these vehicles? I need a wax that is easy on and easy off, and have a Cyclo with microfiber bonnets if that's the quickest way to remove the wax.

A customer is wanting adhesive-backed plastic applied to carpets on used cars in inventory. They say "do not remove except by dealer" and look like this: http://www.rightlook.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=210 I am STRUGGLING with this. The sheets wrinkle and bunch up, and I...

Detail Plus (http://www.detailplus.com) sells pet hair sponges that are very effective at dragging pet hair out of the depths of upholstery and carpet. I used to double up with my latex gloves and use my hands, but this method was much more efficient. I spent a lot of time researching an...

I have a un-labeled, no brand extractor with 2 heaters and strong suction. It blows 15 amp fuses in my customers' breaker boxes. 20 amp outlets are fine when they have them, but they are rare. Can I regulate the power draw at the outlet with some kind of adapter?

I've had problems with compound/polish getting in jambs, hinges, cracks, and seals. But when I use masking tape to cover these problem areas, there is an obvious border left behind where the tape was. Does anybody have a solution?

What's the procedure for polishing a dull, uncoated, naked aluminum wheel?
