Wow, awesome results. How do you like those carpet/upholstery brush attachments for the PC? Were they worth it? I'm contemplating if I should really buy them or not.

 

[Chris@Optimum]

BUY THEM! they make life soooo much easier! I found them for $14.95 ea. so don't over pay

Nice job integrity !!!

This is a friend of mines car who is on the road a lot. He was home this weekend and gave me a call.

Now how long of a lecture about keeping it clean did you lay into him afterwards. I am bad with that when I detail for friends.

 

[Chris@Optimum]

Dude, truth is this guy used to detail my cars and he was the best I'd seen...he used to have a shop a few years back and was mobile for awhile. I guess his new job takes a lot of his energy and he knows I'll always do him right! He is also the guy who told me about Autopia, but I never see him on here.



I did a wash and vac for him this week and it wasn't too bad.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

What brush is that?



Looks perfect, and I NEEEED one!



Great job btw.

 

[Stanger'66]

That is a Meg's GC wheel brush as is the other one shown. I have both of the wheel brushes as well as the tire brush. They are very nice.

 

[imported_Denzil]

I believe those Meg's wheel brushes are discontinued, unfortunately.

 

[Chris@Optimum]

You're correct they are Meg's GC. I got the face brush at walmart in the clearance isle for 3.50 and the banana brush I got from an autopian who had some for sale about 3-4 weeks ago. He sold our though. I got the wheel brush and a slide lock from him. they are very well put together. if I see anymore I'll stock up if they're discontinued.
