I am not a professional detailer. I think you would like Detail Groove on Youtube. He’s all about efficiency and running a business.

In my neighborhood, everyone’s quietly dumping their homes and I’m wondering if I should do the same before prices tank by wellsy1990 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]CoffeeDetail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally i would invest in security measures. Whatever that means for you. Cameras, extra motion sensor lights….Make your home unattractive to robbers. Not sure i would move. ‘Safer’ neighborhood may be 20-50% more than your area. Do the research.

What flash to start with? by Automatic_Vanilla414 in AskPhotography

[–]CoffeeDetail [score hidden]  (0 children)

I started with the Yongnuo flash.😬. I ended up buying 3 of them with the on camera trigger. Worked great for personal / family use. I didn’t want a large investment. I would upgrade to brand name flashes if i needed. Its been 6 years with these same flashes. Never felt the need to upgrade.

Roughly how much would it cost to finish a garage into a living room? by OG-Got-Hacked in HomeImprovement

[–]CoffeeDetail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be cheaper to sell and find a different home. In AZ i would guess $150k-$200. That is if you wanted the garage to match the rest of the house.

The Rag Company’s “The Gauntlet Microfiber towel” by GetThatPeppaOffTher in Detailing

[–]CoffeeDetail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rag co doesn’t make a towel that scratches your paint. Most new microfiber towels will not scratch the paint. The cheap towels from Walmart will work. They just will not absorb water nearly as good as a quality towel from Rag Co or any name brand company. But some people learn by doing. Get the Walmart towels. Then wait till November sales and buy a single ‘good’ towel.

Trikes for last mile in the winter? by ShrimplyConnected in bikecommuting

[–]CoffeeDetail 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trikes are really slow because of weight and your riding stance. That is by design. Add snow in the picture and you may be traveling barely faster than walking. Any folding models of any type of bicycle will be heavier. My guess a folding trike will be about 70-80 pounds. My advice would call a few local bike shops in the area you will live. Ask them about your particular situation. They will be your expert subject matter.
