Well I just picked up my Honda EU2000i generator, nice little piece of equipment. I'm looking for a good extractor for mobile use. I'd like something with at least 100" but prefer 120" of water lift.

I was detailing my gf's step-dad's black dodge ram today and I used my edge 2000 pads and my metabo rotary. I was using a green pad w/ ssr2.5 at first cuz there were a lot of scratches in the paint as well as some major swirlage. I toned down the scratches and some of the swirls, but it wasn't...

What do my fellow autopians use to fully remove your old sealants and waxes? Looking for something quick and efficient, not too costly, and won't stain trim. I know I'm asking a lot:p

I was looking thru my harbor freight mailer today and saw a refillable aerosol can for $10. I thought to myself, bulk tire dressing would go great in one of those and would probably use less product than a manual trigger type dispenser. So I went over to the newly built HF in my area and...

For those of you who work out of cars, how do you carry water? What kind of setup can you use to minimize run-off? I was considering a spray bottle with a soapy solution to wet the panel. Then a bucket of wash and a bucket of fresh water to wipe down the panel. Then dry and do the next panel...

I was going to prep my golf w/ it today before using UPP, but after applying and wiping off I could help notice a residue still on the hood. I tried buffing it off but it seemed like an oil was left on the paint, I figured that would cause a problem for the UPP to bond so I gave the hood a...
