My garage a weeks ago with my 1933 Ford Iāve had for 35 years.
Last Friday I sold it and new owner picked it up.
The garage looks a little different with the car gone. Gone but not forgotten! Move the cabinets from the garage I detail in into the back of this garage. Much more room for...
My little friend Domino follows me around outside and rubs his head against ankles every five minutes or so.
He really sticks right with me. Itās awesome until I try to detail my car. The only way I can finish the car in a timely manner is to put him in the house. Then I have to listen to him...
Got home from a show Sunday. Detailed the the car before putting back in the garage. When I finished It started really slow! Put the car in the garage and attached the battery tender. It took hours to get back to 100%. Doesn't usually take that long. I bought a new battery this morning. The...
Met a guy at a car show with a 2017 Ruby Red GT350 with black stripes Instead of white like mine. He bought it with only 260 miles on it. He lives in the same city as me. He had very little micro scratches in the finish And asked if could get them out. Well we polished it today. It was pretty...
I got caught in the rain for first time in 12 years. I bought this undercarriage tool to clean the bottom of the car. It worked awesome. Brought the car to my friends house with the lift and and wiped off the undercarriage. It just had a few water spots, all the dirt was washed away.
3 hours on...
Had the oil changed in the Shelby at my friends house, (he has 4 Mustangs, the blue and yellow cars are his) taking advantage of his lift. While my friend was changing the oil I cleaned the entire underneath of the car which really wasnāt that dirty! Ya I know some people think Iām crazy but...
Finally got the car out today for a Wednesday cruise night event. Every Wednesday has been iffy weather, today was REALLY nice 84 degrees! Nice spot to park, I was sitting in the shade enjoying the night and this a--hole sits right next to me and lights up a BIG smelly cigar. Literally just had...
I got a Vyper low pro chair today. It fits easier between the two cars. It narrower than the other Vyper chair I have. Yup, Iām like spoiling myself! No one else will!
When I was 17 I had a new 1966 GTO convertible. (Not the tri power) I broke everything in that car in 6 months. Blew the clutch, a hole in side of transmission, over revād it burnt valves, 3 sets of rear tires down to the core. Had no fear drove like an idiot. I have to admit Today I donāt beat...
The IBRID feels just like the corded version as far as torque and pad stall. The shape of the IBRID is a little weird but Iāve used it a lot with no issues. The new lever definitely helps. No more spraying myself with little dots of product
When it put the machine down. I thought you had the...
I have both the BIGFOOT MINI LHR 75 E and the BIGFOOT MIN HLR 75 IBRID. I only use the IBRID now. I added the additional lever Rupes came out with to stop the unintentional startup of the machine when lying it down. The lever works it elevates the problem. I havenāt used the wool pads yet with...
Itās everything Rupes said about it. It weighs 5.53 lbs with the battery. I just polished my two Mustangs and I used up 50% of the battery life. It is possible to hit the battery against the paint finish while polishing. Very minor problem in my opinion. When I polish I donāt push or bear down...
The car has been sitting all winter, just uncovered it. The finish was already really clean. The only thing I used was Koch Chemie P1.01 with a Rupes white ultra fine pad. Koch Chemie rates the polish at 9.5 gloss. Tomorrow Iāll probably use Koch Chemie Wax W0 01 which is rated at 9.9 gloss and...
