What products are you buying yourself for Christmas?

i would like one of those detail pails with a cushioned seat. I already have a rolling seat but the swivels and wheels are soon to be history. I have to much weight for it to bare.

Have a pre order in for new Propel pads.

Just ordered last nite from FK their KF-#2180

i have been watching ebay. Want another rotary. I have to get it cheap since I already own one(Vector).

I would like to get another vaccumn. My vacnblo turned tits up on me a few weeks ago. Still have the big craftsman. Looking to buy the portable Rigid with case for storing attachments.
 
I just missed the $25 Home Depot Vac by a few minutes. I was so annoyed, I'll check the ads throughout the winter and hope for anotehr huge shop vac sale, I'm needing one desparately.
 
I picked up a few things these past week. Some worked out well, other did not. First picked up a 2000 watt inverter in hopes of replacing my 5000 watt noisy generator. Whether defective, vehicle problem or wiring issue, the inverter didn't work. I have a smaller inverter that I run my PC off and it works fine. New one the inverter fan wouldn't come on and vacuum turned but didn't run. Tried two vehicles and multiple connections to get it to work. Returned it and got money back. Didn't want to make another trip to the place if I tried another one and had same problems.

Next I've had plans to add a power washer back to my setup. A gas powered one would be a problem because of space until I replace the generator. Picked up a cheap 1300psi electric on sale. While it works fine and does what I needed it for, it has several weak points that are doomed to break. That too is being returned.

I did pick up one of the cheap Chicago Electric rotary buffers. Only need it for occasional work. It worked fine. No where near as powerful as my old 6138 that I used to have but I felt more comfortable using it then I did with my 6138. It's a keeper.

Bought a air hose reel to hold my hose. I use air hose for my water hose. The reel cleans up things and helps a little. I mounted it to the bed of truck so bought a cordless drill too :) The drill will come in handy with the pop rivet er so that I can mount my generator and get rid of some wood that keeps it in place. The riveter will repair my pull starter that has been bungie corded for a year lol.

Got some other tools that I needed around the house (cordless screw driver, some wrenches, sander and probably going to get a circular saw when I take the pressure washer back).
 
I would like to get :
1. 1Gl Optimum spray wax $ 28.14 (after discount) and some mfs at exceldetail
2. pinkwax and 1Gl #425

Happy shopping peeps :holiday: :naughtyD
 
I'm thinking about a tower style tool box for my brushes and miscellaneous gear plus chemicals. Can't decide between a regular storage cabinet and the tool chest.
 
"Santa" has bought me a jar of a Trade Secret and some Poorboy's PwC Blue. Thats pretty much it for me, although I plan on purchasing a foam gun in the near future. I did buy my cousin and friend a little "starter kit". Got them each a bottle of OCW, 3 PakShak All Purpose Towels and a bottle of Mother's Leather Cleaner & Conditioner for my cousin. I think that should hold them over for a bit :lol:
If OCW lives up to the hype I might be buying some come spring. It never ends... :hang:

I was lucky enough to get my hands on one before they were all gone. You can't beat it for 25 bucks.

I'm also thinking of buying myself some poorboys stuff, some aio, and a few other products from the sponsers. I've always used my automagic stuff on my personal trucks. After hearing how great the sponsers products are over and over again, And seeing all the great results i'm giving in and i'm going to try them all out.

PS: Rick, you'll like pizazz wax, it lasted more than a month and a half and after 12 washes (8X nxt, 2X 4* ultimate autowash and 2X BMW + Sonax combo)..It's been raining almost everyday here and hence lots of washing .It was still looking rather slick with nice beading yesterday, I had enough of durability testing for pizazz wax and so I put another coat of it, ahh goody...so hard trying to restrain myself from waxing the car this one month and a half :stuart:
 
About the HD power washer. That is the model I'm returning lol. What I liked was it would do what I needed (occasional very dirty vehicles or fenderwalls). What I didn't like was the short hose and that the hose where it screwed in to the machine crimps real easy. A few times doing that and it would get a hole. The plastic quick connect was pretty bad too. I thought about today replacing the hose with a better hose (25 foot too) and getting a brass connect. Still undecided on if the $20 more would be worth it. Also the carrying case was a pain to get it back into.
