    S100 TCC Bottles cracking/leaking

    Home made car wash dolly

    Not even sure where I should post this but I thought I would share my home made car wash dolly. So far I have $8 into it for the casters and 30 minutes of time. I had the wood laying around already. Tomorrow I'll pick up a small can of paint and finish it off.

    Why is there no date of when something was posted? I would think a posting date would be more important than an expiration date.

    BFWD vs. MPL

    Has anyone compared these two? I searched and found a few threads with so-so comparisons. I have used both brands and I know I can't go wrong with either of these two. My question is not the durability as I am sure its there with both and plus I wax or seal my cars before protection runs out...

    Vendor customer service

    If you have a problem with an order, and you call and leave a message, what is an acceptable amount of time to give them to call you back? One message was left 24 hours ago and I just called again and left another message within the last hour. I would say within 24 hours would be more than...

    Tire applicators

    I normally use a foam applicator but I am tired of ruining them when it comes to my own tires. My tires shred the foam. The tread overlaps onto the sidewall and just tears them up. Any suggestions what else to use? I have been using the Eagle One applicators since one will last a few times if I...

    Aluminum polish (large quantity)

    In need of some aluminum polish in a larger quantity. I have two 30' horse trailers and a large coach bus to do as well. Right now I am looking at the 4 step Rolite kit from TOL.

    Surbuff pads

    Going to order some of these up to try out with my Flex 3401 and am wondering how many would be good to order? How many of these do you guys use on a typical sedan for correction? I was thinking 2 as I hear they clean very easily and can be put right back into action. If I like them I will...

    Not just for cars

    I was detailing my truck and taking a break when I thought why not use some of that bug and tar remover on my shoes. I used these on a few roofing jobs over the last year and a half and thought they were trashed. Here are the results.:chuckle:

    Flex question

    Flex came today and I remember reading on here that it needed to be greased cause the factory grease is less than adequate or something and now I can't find the thread that talked about it. Before I put it in use, do I need to grease it and where do I need to grease it at? Thanks

    Melted the plastic today

    Spread about $700 between 6 sites the last 2 days.:chuckle: Two biggest purchases were the Flex 3401 and a new detailing creeper. The rest was different products I have seen mentioned here and figured I'd give them a try and see what the fuss is about. :waxing:
