Got a few new detailing toys for the garage :D

[Dalamar]

Picked up a few usefull things over the last few months to help with detailing :thumbsup:

Good rolling stool for cleaning, buffing the lower half of every car I do!
I'm 6' - 5" and my back and knees get sore from bending over buffing for hours.

lot's of handy storage, and rolls really smooth.

Good car Vac. picked up this Metro Vac N Blow from CG. and this little thing works great!
it's light and easily removable, or you can carry it, has a LOT of suction. more than my house vac. and it comes with a bunch of tips and brushes. Love it.

Also got this nice wash bucket, screw on lid, not as tall as a 5 gal, and has thins nice dirt grid on the bottom so you don't pick up dirt in between dips.

Re: Got a few new detailing tools!

Here's my detailing corner:

put up that shelf and re-organized it last week.
I use pretty much all that stuff.

Very nice! I've never tried the PB stuff yet. But I think I'm gonna with all the good things I''ve been hearing about them here.

I've been wanting a nice bucket with a gritguard for ages... Its a debate between that or a foam cannon...

The vac is wet/dry right?

 

[Dalamar]

I highly recommend the PB fine polish!

it's not a wet vac, just dry

 

[Untame-d]

Dam, wish it was warm enough to detail here, my cars all splotchy from the first snowfall before I put it in the garage.. just gotta stoke the fire up and get it warm in there one day and start cleaning. I got a bunch of autopar stuff I want to try out. so many shops use it around here.

Nice Haul Jeff!!! That roller chair is f*cking expensive on Autogeek!!! I want one, but i just use a office car with no back lol.

I have been looking to buy a metrovac now that they sell at Cost Co... Is it as strong as a shop vac?

Also, what model Karcher pressure washer is that? How many PSI?

thanks man.
I got the chair at sema show pricing so I saved about 25%


that washer I got off onesaleaday.com for 75 bucks shipped! --believe it or not.
The book says 3.47MR. it's 1800 PSI, and comes with an adjustable pressure spray end, and a 360 degree pencil jet end. that one's good for blasting the helmet out of concrete and stuff.


I'd say it sucks as hard as a shop vac, however the diameter of the hose is smaller than a shop vac.
for cars, carpet, floors dust ect this thing works great. it has really good suction, and it's not a PITA to move around the car and pick up/hold. plus with all the different tips, get's into all the grooves and it's much more useful than a shopvac IMO.

Love the seat!

You will really like that Metro Vac. I have one now and planning on getting another 1 or 2. In my opinion, they are just as powerful as a shop vac. I like how small the Metro Vac is, it is so much easier to manuever than a shop vac, it is also a lot quieter.

 

[Steven]

You have a whole corner, i'm lucky if I find a clean rag. I'm the last person you could call a detailer. Nice stuff though jeff.

 

[duff daddy]

Haha. I use an old office chair too, its sooo helpful!

Not to threadjack, but why dont you try the Rigid Shop Vac Line from Home Depot? I have one since 2004 and I can honestly say its probably the BEST garage purchase of all time... If you wait for a special you might even get one for like $30.

Nice, love the chair.

Chair looks awesome man I love it.

 

[Dalamar]

it's comfy and rolls super smooth.

the casters are arced out in the middle so it's practically impossible tip over.

 

[98svtcobra]

Awesome detail corner man!!. I'm a detail nut but ususally use Maquires products. looking at the bottles you have I'm not familiar witih the products. What are they?

Also, does your GT have a different rear bumper? I like the Saleen wing as well. The car looks awesome!!

Let me know

 

[Dalamar]

thanks!
I started out using meguires, but have found products that work better and go on/off easire.

I like the Poorboys polishes, also like the Chemical Guys line.
Obsessive Detail also has good products, and is a forums sponsor, so you can get a price break if ordering from him.

what specifically are you wondering about?



My GT's rear bumper is the stock one with pieces added/blended in to lower it and make it blend with the side.
thanks

 

[wytstang]

So when are you going to buy some Menzerna polishes?

 

[Dalamar]

dunno buddy, can I afford that one?


did I ever show you the picture of my empty gallon jug of spray N gloss!!
I remember a few yeaaars ago you were harassing me about getting it.
used it up last summer
