    Where to buy that small electric blower?

    A couple months ago I saw a recommended small, handheld electric blower for aiding in drying a car (especially wheels, mirrors, etc.). However, I can't find it again. Any help would be appreciated. Whatcha recommend?

    Some "Befores"....

    ... I am a "hobbyist" detailer (read: I do my own cars only), so I have enlisted the help of a fellow autopian to come by and take my car to the next level. Unfortunately, our appointment for last weekend had to be moved out two weeks. So, I don't have any "Afters" to show. So, in the...

    3M Clear Bra Edge Liftoff - DIY Repair?

    I'm picking up an 07 car with a 3M clear bra installed. On the driver's side mirror, the outermost edge of the bra has lifted off away from the mirror--it is about 1/4" long and extends about 1/4" into the bra material to formed a small 1/2-circle, milky white "open bubble". Unfortunately...

    ~Pictures~ The Horror of Wheel Wells

    Well, I've wanted to do this for about the last year and especially this summer--clean the wheel wells to remove the 10 years of nastiness that is grime, grit, grease, oil, cosmoline, and a bit of tar. The previous owners never got under the car, but instead just brought it to the dealer for...

    Any Overall Summary of Various Products?

    I currently use Zaino products hand applied on my car. However, I have always been interested in all of the different products that are discussed here. Unfortunately, because of the number of acronyms used and the shortened names of various products, it is hard for a newbie to get the "big...

    Porshe Picture Day

    Today my oldest daughter had two birthday parties to go to so my youngest daughter and I spent the afternoon driving around in the Porsche, soaking up the rays, and having fun. Of course we had to culminate the afternoon with an early dinner and ~dessert~ before Mom got home. ;) I thought I...

    Garage Makeover (Pictures)

    Well, a few weeks ago I finally started finishing up my three car garage. It originally came from the builder with drywall and mud. The floor was never that "blemish-free", thanks to painters spilling paint during construction, a few oil leaks here and there, spilled fluids, etc. I...

    Here's your chance to really brag....

    ...I see such incredible "restorations" in this forum--horrible cars that are so neglected that are brought back to life beyond belief. Whenever I read/see these threads, I also wonder what the owner/customer says when them come pick it up. So, I'm left to ask: TELL US ABOUT YOUR ~BEST~...

    My First Detail - 1996 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet

    Well, considering this is my "first", I failed to take any before pictures the day I started. I guess I was too eager to get started. :drool: Anyway, I started the cleaning on Friday and ended on Sunday, although I took a number of breaks along the way. It also helped to allow the Zaino...

    Leafblowers - Exhaust in the airstream

    I've read many threads here advocating the use of leafblowers (leaf blowers (for the search engine)) in at least partially drying your car. However, every gas leafblower I've used has directed its exhaust through the output airstream. Considering these leafblowers are two-cycle engines, this...

    Newbie - About to jump in with Zaino...Before Pics

    First post--this is mainly an intro post with a question at the end. Before I go on, thanks for all the wonderful threads. I've learned a lot. Early last week, my new-to-me 1996 Porsche 911 (993 body style) Carrerra 4 (AWD) Cabriolet was delivered from out of state. It is in excellent...
