    If your planning to be using if for more that consumer car care. Bite the bullet and get something with serviceable pump. These preasure washers obviously have a higher upfront cost. The advantage is the longer lifespan between needing service, and are serviceable. I would also agree with the...

    REVIEW: FLEX 24V CORDLESS ROTARY POLISHER

    I am very curious about the longevity of these new 24v tools. One thing to note from my little bit of research. The red FLEX cordless tools country of Origin is Germany. Where as the new version is China. I do like the warranty that FLEX is offering with the new line, limited lifetime over 1...

    Gel Coat slightly dull after polishing

    Thanks for the response Mike. We will give it a try later this week and see what the results are. I may try a different compound/ Polish. I do like 3D. It just seems to take forever to get all the polish residue off.

    Usefulness of foaming a car

    I work on a wide variety of vehicles from farm equipment to 40 foot boats. A foam cannon is a lifesaver paired with the right soap. The foam loosens the grim allowing it to be lifted of the paint easier, and as Mike mentioned the foam helps with additional lubrication.

    Canvas convertible cleaner

    I've use both LVP and Super Citrus APC to clean Sunbrella Boat canvas tops and convertible tops. LVP isn't marketed as a cloth top cleaner to my knowledge, but it did work fine. I've used it when there was minimal soiling. Super Citrus APC is great, it is my go to APC. Great product that does...

    1000 HP Jeep SRT

    Nice work! New Mopar paint is really hard. I did a white Jeep Cherokee a while back, that was really hard paint. What did you use for a polish?
