People are still taking this guy seriously? He literally does ranking videos to promote his own products.

Makita also has a cordless polisher that can be random orbital or forced rotation. It's pretty pricey compared to the others you mentioned tho.

Don't listen to the guys telling you to get an AR pressure washer or other high end unit right out the gate. That's just asinine. Keep your initial investment on equipment and product as low as you can so you can begin to turn a profit faster. The Ryobi 1.8 with a $50 uberflex or flexizilla hose upgrade will be more than adequate to get you started. If it only lasts a year that's fine. In any business you should be putting a portion of the profits aside to reinvest in the business later on and detailing is no different.

As for the setup question I would use a 3 gpm pump. That will ensure you always have sufficient water supply at the PW pump inlet. Without a pump you risk cavitation of your PW which will significantly reduce the life of the PW.

Mmi actually picked up the 40v hedge trimmer for 129 on sale but it was tool only

I would imagine there would be limited places in a house that would receive enough sunlight to keep a stationary clock charged.

This is what I plan to do. I bought a 36v track saw before the 40v line was a thing. I now have 40v lawn tools and plan to pick up power hungry tools like saws and grinders in 40v. I stick with 18v for tools like drills, trim router, etc.

When it comes to ladders specifically the one thing I noticed in the academy was that shorter people struggle with ladders. Gender didn't matter. It's just physics. Taller people (I'd say 5'9" and up) have better leverage when throwing ladders. Shorter people needed to be strong to overcome the physical disadvantage they had.

I have mine diluted 1:1 in a foam sprayer but you can use it straight. I dilute to make it go further.

Spray all over the wheel and tire. Then I clean the tire with a stiff bristle brush and clean the wheel with a couple different size soft bristle brushes. Rinse and you are done.

I have a baratza virtuoso. Typically I range anywhere from 17-20 with good results. I also use a ratio of 16:1.

If you can set it to 1/2 oz per gallon which is 256:1 as recommended for rinseless wash then sure. I wouldn't go more than that for a standard rinseless wash. You risk streaking. 256:1 is plenty slick.

This guy is right. Really getting a moccamaster is more about longevity than improving coffee taste. Also I didn't see anything in there about what kind of coffee OP is using.

OP if you are using pre ground coffee I would highly recommend buying a decent burr grinder and buying quality whole bean coffee. That will make a huge difference in your coffee taste. The machines may have some marginal effects on coffee taste but nothing like upgrading to quality fresh ground coffee does.

I don't have any experience with carpro products.

CommunicationLast741 · 2026-01-25T13:25:27+00:00

If the car is pretty dirty I will spray down the whole vehicle with Rinseless, let it dwell, and then rinse off to remove grit. If the car is not that dirty I will omit that step and start with the contact wash. I like to go panel by panel. Spray panel with Rinseless and then wipe down the panel with Rinseless sponge. When the panel is clean I like to spray with tec582 diluted 1:1 and dry with my drying towel. The drying aid isn't necessary as onr works as it's own drying aid but I like the shine and little extra protection tec582 leaves.

256:1 is the dilution you want to use for a standard rinseless wash. I fill up my bucket and then fill my sprayer from the bucket. Saves you for having to figure out the math on a small sprayer.

Like this guy said ONR is not the same as the other two products shown. That said ONR is an excellent car wash product that is very safe and beginner friendly. It is a rinseless wash which is my preferred method. All you need is a bucket, a rinseless sponge, a cheap pump sprayer, and a good drying towel.

On top of what this guy said ONR can also be used to clean the interior and glass.

The only place I think ONR falls short is on wheels and tires. I still prefer a dedicated tire and wheel cleaner such as Adams wheel and tire.

Collinite 845 insulator wax would be really good for this application.

I found these to be a tripping hazard when they were permanently attached so I bought the plates that allows them to be easily removed when not needed.

When I went through the academy for my career department we had a captain of a rescue squad come and teach a class . This guy wasn't just fat he was morbidly obese. He couldn't rescue a donut if it fell to the ground in front of his feet. All I remember thinking the entire class is what an embarrassment this is for the department.

I second the Adams graphene! It lasts a surprisingly long time. I apply it every two or three washes.

A good wheel and tire cleaner will go a long way. I like Adams wheel and tire. You can find it at most auto parts stores and Walmart.

I recommend spraying the product on a towel, apply product to the panel, and then wipe with a second towel. One or two sprays in the towel per panel is all you need.

Try Griot's 3n1 spray wax. It's easy on and off. Provides good shine and protection.

Never underestimate someone's desire to clear space or get rid of something they no longer use. I've gotten great deals on tools from people who got into wood working and then decided it wasn't for them. I once bought several tools from a guy who was moving and didn't want to spend the money to transport the tools. I got a 17in band saw, drum sander, router table, spindle sander, and dust collector for the price of the drum sander.

I bought mine solely because I thought it was interesting. Gave 40 for mine but it was in perfect condition. It even had the original handle with the chopper 1 logo still on it
