When using one of these in the summer months, how hot should it get? Mine will get hot enough that I can`t hold it for more than a few seconds at a time. The vent holes are open and the internal fan seems to be spinning fine.

So I was doing my routine browse through bargain stores, and I saw that Big Lots was carrying a new lineup of tools by the company Nikota. I noticed that there was a 7" variable speed angle polisher for ~$30, but could not figure out they mean its a rotary or random orbital.. A search on google...

[/URL][/IMG] Found it for $3.99 at Big Lots. It's basically a mini version of the pump sprayers that people use for spraying pesticide (I think GSRStilez had one for when he used QEW?). I tested it with some soap and after about 25 pumps, it's got enough pressure to empty out the majority of...

Can it be done?

Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of a free flowing hose to do my washing, so I use a local quick wash to do the rinse after I've done a bucket wash. Ideally I want to use the "spot-free" setting (even though I think it's just really weak flowing spray), but it takes me at least 2 minutes to...

Anyone ever use this stuff? http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1420332&cp=1254883.1255102.1303975&page=4&doVSearch=no&pageBucket=0&parentPage=family Also, it seems they sell 303 at Ace. I was under the impression that it could only be ordered online! :bigups...

Gave my truck the routine spring detail, and thanks to probegt I got to try out Poorboy's SSR 2.5 and 1 to try getting the swirls out of my paint. It seemed to work pretty well, although some swirls are still prevalent, but for a daily driver it'll do just fine. The 2.5 smells so great I almost...

Wasn't too much of a breathtaking event, but it was nice to see the new cars up close.

Alright so I just took a trip to Pepboy's since I've got a few bucks to spend, and you can never have too much detailing stuff. Let me just say that they were stocked with ALL the new stuff. I was almost thrown back to see how much new stuff was already available. The things I noticed were: -...

Just wondering if you guys go by a set schedule or just by 'whenever needed'. I'm still using the same wiper blades that came with my truck (almost 3 years I think), and except for the occasional chattering in cold weather, they seem to be working fine. Also, do you go with OEM blades from the...

With the soon arrival of spring, it's time for me to do a full detail on my truck, but I'm in need of a good polish to help reduce swirls and scratches. I'm trying to stay within a budget, and I've narrowed it down to the P21S Paintwork Cleansing Lotion, or I might go up a few dollars and get...

Just got back from Wal Mart and found that 64oz of NXT Car Wash was only $3.50 in the clearance aisle. Lowest price I'm finding is $5.99 at Meguiars.com and $7.95 at autogeek, and of course those include shipping. They also had a variety of vent brushes and scrub pads from Black Magic, and a few...

I've always wanted to add some more bass to the audio in my truck, but cost has always been a major factor for me. I have a pretty small space behind my seats that would be perfect for one of these bazooka tubes, but I'm not really sure how much of an improvement it would be, so I was wondering...

Not sure if this has been addressed before, but why has foam been the choice of material for applicators? It seems like it could be a major source of the minor marring on finishes since it doesn't exactly feel too soft like MF or Terry. I guess I'm curious since a lot of my foam pads are getting...

Up until now I've been using Turtle Wax Zip Wash, but I've always liked the GC wash and at $9.99 for 128oz I couldn't pass on it (back at home I can only get it in the smallest size bottle for $5.99); plus I think the Turtle Wax stuff is a bit too strong and has a tendency to strip wax off. I...

I try my best to keep my truck looking as good as it can with what I've got, but I know that I can't always get the swirls out. I polish my paint with Deep Crystal Sytem polish and #7 about 3 or 4 times a year, and claybar twice. These pics are after a wash, NXT, then topped with Gold Class...

I bought it about a year ago for $8 or $9 and it wasn't too bad, except because of it being a "liquid" it didn't really feel too durable. Just wondering if anyone here used it and what they felt about it.
