What's In DFB's Cabinet?

[DFB5.0]

I wish I could have him out in the garage and driveway with me, but I just don't have the confidence to allow him to hang without going walkabout. I have previous trauma in that department.

Maybe a long leash that you can tie down?

Yeah, I've done that in past. At the moment, he is so boisterous and has no concept of containing his energy. Yesterday I opened the door of the Ranger and before I knew it he had leapt into passenger seat. I need him to grow up a little before I have him around while I work.

I totally undestand that. Luckily she stays pretty close, but we have to watch her, especially if I am by myself. As long as her dad is out with her, she never is far away. Unless the random squirrel, cat, rabbit, bird, or whatever decides to happen by I will put her inside if she gets too restless, then she just lays on the back of the couch, barks at us, and watches us thru the window

Well I can't help myself. I backed the last car I did out in the sun this afternoon for the owner to come pick up later. Shew, it sure is pretty. To be 10 years old, it looks amazing. P&S Rehab on a white Rupes pad, and ADS Pro v2, she looks pretty good..

So I don't have my pup in the garage all the time with me but it depends what I am doing. If I am ceramic coating for example I won't let him in the garage because of the fumes.

But my dad was kind enough to build this fence that slides in and out between the garage door rails and the wall. His hobby is wood working. It has two metal clips to secure it closed in the middle. Takes 10 seconds to set up and ten seconds to take down. I can also close the garage door on top of the fence manually of course to let airflow in and keep bugs out.

But the main thing I use it for is when im washing outside I put the fence up and open the garage door so my little pup can be close to me but not get anywhere near the chemicals. I also installed a wall mounted fan for him when it's hot. And when I am in the garage added a window ac unit.

This picture is with the door down but obviously I open it when im washing the car right in front of this fence.

Been stupid busy this week at home since I took off work. DId 4 Mustangs so far, got a 5th one in the garage for a full decon, polish, and coat. Slacked on pics but here is a few of the cars I had on premise this week...

Really nice work man!

I love the window trim, but the rest is a little.................excessive.

What's the story about the "windows" in the garage door? Specifically the top ones that would never be seen from the outside. Or are the bottom ones foldable or removable and not part of the door?

Also, thanks for the warning about ceramics absorbing dog farts.

The windows on the top are usable when the door is closed and they are visible from the outside. The fence is removable.

P&S Release Vacuum Aid

As if the detailing world needed another product category, P&S has gone and created one anyway — the vacuum aid. I know, do we really need such a product? My answer to that is another question: who here hates vacuuming carpet as much as I do? Probably my least favourite detailing task. We've all been there, slaving away trying to remove sand, grass, twigs, leaves, pet hair — it burns time and certainly doesn't reward you the way polishing paint or dressing tyres does.

And so, the vacuum aid is designed to make that tedious task a little bit easier. Now, this product won't be for everyone — probably not for those of you who already stay on top of your interiors. But for the professional regularly dealing with kid carriers, trashed interiors, or that truly horrible excuse for carpet some Japanese and Korean car companies use, P&S Release is for you.

Release didn't start out as its own product — it began life as an off-label trick using P&S Paint Gloss, of all things. I first came across this in an interior how-to video from The Rag Company, presented by Sydni Brae Gwinn, a P&S brand ambassador at the time. Her method was misting the carpets with Paint Gloss before vacuuming, something she called a "vacuum aid." The static and friction dropped away, the vacuum attachment moved more freely across the carpet, and whatever was gripping the debris in the fibres finally let go. You also got a nice scent and a slightly richer-looking finish out of it, as a bonus.

I tried it myself and walked away genuinely surprised. It's not a magic fix — you're still doing the work — but the static reduction was real, and the whole process felt noticeably less of a fight.



By early 2025, that off-label trick had evolved into something official — P&S, with Sydni's input, released Release: a dedicated vacuum aid built specifically for carpets and fabrics rather than paint. It carries the same anti-static DNA as Paint Gloss, refined into anti-static agents and friction modifiers that help debris "release" from the fibres for smoother, easier vacuuming, plus an odour neutraliser that actually removes smells instead of masking them. That last part is where it properly breaks from its Paint Gloss origins and earns its place as its own product.

Using Release is dead simple: mist it lightly over the carpet section by section, give it a few moments to dwell (P&S's recommendation for full effect), then vacuum as normal. The difference is immediate — the attachment glides across treated carpet noticeably easier than untreated, and it leaves behind a clean, neutral "fresh" scent, nothing fancy, just inoffensive.

One thing worth flagging: this isn't a shampoo or cleaning agent, just a complementary step for the vacuum stage. If the carpet needs an actual clean, follow up with something like Carpet Bomber or Koch Chemie Pol Star.

Release isn't a 100% solution for tricky vacuuming situations — you still have to put in the hard work to get there. Tools like compressed air and dedicated pet-hair brushes still have a role to play alongside it, working as a team rather than a single fix. But together, they make the process a little easier, and for a task this universally disliked, that's worth paying for.

How does it feel on passenger bare feet?
