As the title says, what`s your can`t miss method for tackling salt crust and stains in carpet? My new daily has a fair dose of it on the driver`s side that I`ve gotta address. I`ve heard of diluting vinegar into warm/hot water, what ratio do folks use? I`ve also heard of pounding the carpet...

Hey gang. Got this posted on the sister site, thought it might be worth throwing up here too. Well, after just shy of 9 years and nearly 200,000 miles on the road together (nearly 300k on the odometer), I’ve decided it’s time to move onto a new daily driver. As is tradition, it was time for...

Hey Gang Looking to replace my 5+ year old baby Ryobi (baby like it`s just a lil guy, not that it`s a prized possession! 1600/1.2gpm). Trying to decide what route to go. Use will largely be split between pressure washing the house and car use (pre rinses, foam cannon work, etc). Obviously...

Wondering what folks are using for respirators - either the mask itself as well as the cartridges for it. Main use I`ll be using it would be for Tornadoring interiors, so the chance of either fine dust or fine mist.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with removing window tint? The current owner of my old E36 M3 wants to give it back to me for a few weeks to do a reset detail and asked about a few other little things. One of the things she was looking to get done was having the window tint removed. At this...

Just wondering if anyone has seen any reviews out there for Milwaukees Cordless 15mm or 21mm DA`s that are coming out? Not a tool I need, but curious how it compares to other offerings out there.

Hey Gang Was curious if anyone on here does their own knife sharpening? We`ve got a set of pretty decent knives that are definitely due for some attention. I was originally planning on just bringing them in to get professionally sharpened; but having long been thinking about learning how to...

Hey gang, here’s an interesting one. My shop owner and his brother have been racing since they were kids. His brother just bought an old vintage fridge from a race shop from back in the day. It’s currently disassembled, but it’s an old school GE fridge that they added a rear wing off an old...

So I know based on the title this would seem like I`m inquiring about 2 different kinds of products (ok, I am, but hear me out). What I was wondering was if anyone has had enough experience/read enough about both products to say how they would compare when used as a towel detergent or presoak...

Looking to hear from folks who have played around on either side of this: I`ve been thinking about getting a Tornador Black and the Velocity Vac attachment for a while now. Been wanting to do a reset of the carpets in both cars, and it seems like this setup would work great for loosening and...

Here’s one just for fun. Not my car, just one that rolled through the shop. While I had it on the hoist, it was impossible not to notice this pattern in the paint. First, the pictures: You can see what looks like etching in the paint. Again, not my car, so I didn’t go rubbing on it to...

First off, let me take this opportunity to thank our members that deliver the really scientific comparison tests. This will not be one of those. :lol: Think of this more like a Go/NoGo gauge. Due to my commute and putting family time first, I can`t say I`ll stay consistent on how often the car...

Took Friday off work in honor of getting older, then used the day to reset my interior and do a quick wash of the outside. Added an impromptu roof-top showdown product test at the end - more on that later. Started with a thorough vacuum, then wiped down all the panels, dashboard and trim with...

This weekend I had a job to do and decided to try Sonax Glass cleaner. The job: Getting the insides and outsides of all the house windows reset to crystal clear. Turns out, the Sonax pairs really well with your traditional window washer scrubber/squeegee approach! I know folks in the...

I swear the builder for our house never put any thought into using the garage for anything other than parking - 3 oddly spaced screw in light bulb bases and one 2 place outlet on one wall (plus one in the ceiling for the opener). Finally looking to move forward with making the garage a more...

I`ve long been running the gun/wand that came with my Ryobi pressure washer. Originally was planning on upgrading right away, but it`s been fine. Now that I`m changing up my pressure washer situation, seems like a good time to upgrade the gun to something better. Specifically, I`m looking to...

I`ve been re-thinking my current detailing situation, and have been thinking about making a change for 2021. Short version of situation: Limited time for detailing due to other areas in life taking priority + refusing to do non-Autopian quality washes mean both my wife`s and my car are...

Noticed on the "What`s New" spot on their website that they`ve got a new round of towels coming. PFM Edgeless Detailing Towels - Looks like they took the edge styling (not satin banded) of their biggest PFM and applied it to the 16X9 detailing towel. They didn`t list the GSM, but I`d bet it...

Here`s a slightly off topic one where I`d love to get folk`s input. Cliff`s notes version: Does anyone have recommendations for an intelligent water shutoff system that can cut off water supply to a water heater if a moisture sensor detects a leak? Long version: We`re coming due for a new...

Just wondering if anyone`s heard any reviews or torture tests of Dr Beasley`s new NSP Nano Z1 Surface Primer? Quoting Mike Phillips from the Sister Forum: "Like wax-based or sealant-based AIOs - the Z1 can do paint correction, polishing and then leaves behind a unique nano-structure...
