Okay, who uses their opposite writing hand to detail (at least some of the time) cause why should one arm get all the work
course using someone else's arm is even better.
I've trained my left hand to use the mouse, still not as good, but getting there.

BTW, have you used the foaming dispenser method lately? No? Newbies check it out. :D
 
funny question!



LOVE the foaming dispenser method! In fact, I plan on doing experiments with it this week....missing washes, adding a degreaser, maybe a shot of Klasse in the dispenser...whatever else I might thing of! I will post my findings and mistakes!
 
Yeah - I have to use both arms to keep from looking like a one arm'd popeye. Now if I could just find some unused back muscles...



Haven't tried the foam dispenser method yet. Maybe you should patent an industrial sized dispenser just for automotive use :)? I share my car wash bay with all the other apartment tenants.. I could just imagine the look on some of their faces if I was out washing the car with a little foam dispenser. Might be worth trying just to see their reactions!

YoSteve and others . . .



When I was in college, I played lacrosse. In order to ever see any playing time, you had to be good with both hands. So I used to eat with my left hand, pick up items with my left hand, and wash my car with my left hand. Now I use my left hand as much as my right, if not more.



I broke my arm playing lacrosse, and I had to learn how to write with my left hand (was not pretty), but now I can even write with my left hand (not sure why I would want to).



YoSteve, I hope that things are going well with you. The web site is looking good. I plan on having something up by December (long term planning is much more realistic).



Oh, and one more thing, I have been using my hand when cleaning my wheels and tires (I figured that I would start there before I jumped right into the paint, and my hand has a latex glove covering it) and the difference is amazing. My wheels have never looked so clean!
 
Not here Luke, haven't seen that product around. Maybe someone has use it before or is using it now will post about it.........Happy Holidays........:Christmas Hat:
 
I have the full Caswell line, all of the 'bars' and the different pads (for a drill). For a while I was getting into the metal polishing. To be completely honest I get 'far' better results from the Blackfire metal poilshes and a rotary, but that could very well be from my lack of skill with Caswell.

If you would like to try the Caswell stuff I can take a pic of what I have and send you a PM on Thursday (when I get home). I'm sure we could work something out, the bars are all 90 percent or more 'full'.

Thanks a lot Todd. I have the PCXP, and Variable speed drills, and bench grinder, so I'm not entirely sure of the best method in which I should use. I wouldn't mind trying a little bit to see what it all involves.

Somehow in my mind I think that all metal polishes are the same and I have to get something like Caswell to get desirable results. I am looking at doing Polished Stainless exhaust, Side Steps, and other cosmetic metal surfaces that should look better than new. So far I have no tools to accomplish that yet [as far as what pads I should use, if a Mothers powerball/cone will work, etc...]

Thanks again!
 
I have messed around with polishing metals when I had to polish a few sets of aluminum wheels many years ago, and found the eastwood company to be very well stocked with all kinds of cloth buffs, compounds, etc., to help you get going with any type of metal polishing. Believe it should be something like eastwood.com..

You will need to make sure you have some kind of protection from breathing all the stuff that flies everywhere when you polish metals at high speed, cause stuff goes everywhere, depending on what kind of buff you use..

I used a small 3/8" air powered die grinder and chucked a really nice, large cloth tapered buff to do wheels with a couple of dry stick compounds (tripolli and red rouge I think), and they turned out beautiful each time..

Good luck with this, let us know how it goes.. I also dont know anything regarding Caswell, but as you know, Google/Bing are your friends.. :)

Merry Christmas
