    Expoxy or Racedeck for Garage Flooring

    My guys replicated what Sizzle Chest`s installers did and no issues 3 years later. I did what`s called a full chip epoxy. Polyurea that dries faster is pushed now. You must grind your floor!!! 3 neighbors using "do it yourself" kits had them fail in days.

    Very Displeased with Ibrid

    Can`t help you with the Ibrid but I can show you a 2" Flex backing plate I made by using a Stanley Surform shaver on a 3" plate spinning at full speed. Add an APS extension and you`re ready for tight spaces.

    Rust through corrosion

    Biggest thing for me was applying a sticky/wax coating from Eastwood`s inside the door seams (remove the door cards), trunk seams etc with a throw away paint brush. When able during the winter, lift the hood, spray water down inside the front fenders and wheel wells... where I was able to and...

    Master Blaster as a medical device dryer!

    You can tell the wife you need one to dry your Cpap hose. Worked slick blowing out the water after cleaning.... Nothing worse then turning on your Cpap and having water drops that have not dried yet blow up your nose.

    Huh. New Griots.... Rotary

    I "driveway detailed" for 50 years without a 1-3" rotary. But now that I have one, my mind flashes back to all the times over the years I could have used one and saved a whole lot of arm rubbing! My most used combo: a 1" Flex orange buff with an extension. Where`s it used the most...

    What did you do detailing wise today?

    For 50+ years I’ve detailed my Godmothers car. It’s been a year and the car wash scratches were in need of a polishing out. The “Finisher” with a yellow Uro-Tec pad & Meguiar Ultimate Compound found at a local store took care of those..... yes, my Beast, would have been much faster but the...

    USP delivered a big box = Flex XKE "Finisher" and a small box = Scangrip light. Two week road trip visiting friends and relatives next week so the usual suspects will be waiting for me to try it out on their cars. Of course I tried it out on a trunk lid..... Very nice, no vibration and I...

    What did you do detailing wise today?

    Since I don`t have kids, I ordered up a cordless Finisher for Fathers Day. No way to justify it..... a what the heck moment! I`ll think of my father and the cars of his I polished over the years. I`m looking at one of his favorites on my bulletin board now. I ordered chrome wheels for it and...

    Flex PXE 2" extension

    A great addition has arrived from France. A 2" extension for the PXE for <$20. Found on ebay, I was not aware it was coming from France. It arrived today as I`m packing for my journey back to MN for the summer. Pictures tell the tale better then words!
