I'm thinking about going 100% mobile, but I'm concerned about water runoff. If I have to reclaim the water, for the expense and extra trouble I may as well simply stay limited mobile and mostly fixed. I've called a local municipality, but cant find any information on the issue and cant get a...

I put some 15x10 Pacer uncoated Aluminum wheels on my Jeep. When new there was not a scratch on them, however after a few washings and some wheeling trips they seem to be covered in fine scratches. It seems as even the act of rubbing an applicator across the clean surface of the wheel is...

Having my website redesigned. My web designer wants me to pick out several detailers websites as examples so I can give him an idea of what I want. Most of the ones I know in my area are pretty sorry examples. Would any of you other pro's mind PM'ing me a link to your website so that I may...

I accidentally poured some muratic acid on a spot right in the middle of my big 60x40' shop a few weeks ago. Of course, it etched the concrete. Now I want to resurface the floor, but obviously as it is a 60x40' shop the drawback is the sheer amount of material needed to do a refinish. Is there...

I am still in college (graduating August) and recieved scholarships and grants to pay for my last year in full. However, I have the option of a federal student loan (unsubsidised) to help me pay for gas and whatever else I may need. Interest rate is 6.8%. Now, the only other loan I have out...

I have *got* to replace (mostly my whole stock) of pads. I use white and grey/green 5.5" pads the most. Anyone got a tip on who has the best price on them now (been out of the game a while)?

I just bought a new used 2000 Honda 400ex atv. Its red and in great shape, although the plastics are in pretty rough shape. I was thinking of doing 220-300-400-800-1000-1500-2000-2500 then hitting with some sort of compound. Does anyone have any comments or tips on doing this? Ever wetsanded...

Ok, whew, finally got a chance to sit down and write a little review on this product. I have been in summer school, so not much chance for correction details, just a few here and there. I had to wait for a good one to test this out on. Sorry it took so long!!! Anyway, to the product. I was...

Many of you know me as the resident "tractor" detailer. I have always done farm tractors, but these are the first pulling tractors I have done. Now, these are not your normal farm tractors. These are designed for tractor pulling. They have a 300' run to pull a 40,000-50,000lb weight transfer...

I'm just not a fan. I'll still keep using it, but I liked the old look better, maybe I'm just not used to it. Anyone else?

Ok, seeing as xmas is coming, I figure a DSLR would be a good thing to ask for. I am used to a point and shoot, but I am willing to learn the game. I am looking for a budget under $500 (less the better). I also want live view since I am used to a point and shoot. This is becoming my biggest...

I am amazed that nobody has either posted up about this, or mentioned this. I originally bought HD for tires, and really just did not care for it that much. So I had a gallon sitting for a while and decided that I could mix some interior dressing for the tractors/trucks/work vehicles that I...
