New Detail Trailer

I noticed you only used the chemical resitant triggers. Do you find them lasting any longer?

Pharo..I myself find the chemical spray heads last much longer than the plain ones....
I have some loaded with cutting oil...Muriatic acid (concrete work)...and some solvents..and they always work...I think the O-Ring in the pump plunger is made of a different composition and they do not corrode or break down....plus the plastic is different also I believe of the sprayer itself...cause I used a regular sprayer once and after awhile it would not spray and the plastic was distorted (swelled)....

Hope this helps..

You bet. I find they last for a very long time. I opted for Wal Mart spray bottles and triggers when I started out. I was throwing away a ton every month....I said screw it and replaced them all with the ones you see in the pics..
 
I like your set-up and have been following your progression since the other trailer. I too just upgraded to an enclosed trailer from a 4'x8' trailer to a 6'x10' enclosed with a side door. I am stilll trying to figure ou the best layout for all of the goods and keep finding myself running to the store for more stuff

Any plans on posting some pics? I'm sure everyone here would like to see what you've done.

Fantatstic job, great interior organization and exterior graphics. I am saving this thread for the future. One sugesstion - I noticed in some earlier pics that you had a padlock for the door. I would go with one of those round padlocks (don't know what they're called) that don't have an exposed shackle that someone could get a hold of with bolt cutters. Not much extra money and definately worth the peace of mind. Maybe you could even get a discount off your insurance for it.
 
Um yeah, you just gave me some great ideas for the van! I love how OCD all detailers are, I think thats what makes us good at it.

Thanks! I have been pretty busy lately and unable to snap pics. I have been using the trailer and figuring out what needs to be moved around to be more efficient.

My Parents are coming down on the 7th from Missouri, so I may have my Dad help build some wood shelves.
 
What type of drop in noise level did you notice after running the exhaust threw the floor, if any?

I've run plenty of exhaust before and thought about doing that to drop the noise level. I really would like to make a set of smoke stacks with flappers for the pw/generator.:rockon

Sounds good. I can imagine how you are continually looking how you can improve the layout. I'm the same way.

I'm sure your parents will love the trailer. I remember when you got your old one, you brought it up here when you came to see them.
 
ok, long awaited update. small one though.

Father came down, and well, we had some time today, so we made one set of shelves so far. Still needs to be secured to the wall and filled up.
