I am wee bit of a fly by the seat of my pants when it comes down to storing my hard earned kit. ... Just starting to get it organised to be honest here's about 75% of kit, my other kit is over at my mum's house waxes snowfoam tyre dressings detailing bag etc etc but ye get my drift oh my K4 is in the hut lol Oh boxes are full by the way
Cheers, for something stronger than a beer or JD if the mood takes. Bosch made like the Audi parts. Adhoc the shelf had some original badges going spare. Cheers
Some of my collection...... and yes I have a lot of Microfibre towels, infact Im running low on what I normally have... ! I have different boxes for brushes, pads, applicators, gloves and plusher higher garde MF towels, trialing products etc. I try to keep things where I know I can find them... Doesnt always work out like that though! A fairly wide range of items collected over the years. Looking at it, probably a tad more than I really need but I help plenty of friends, family and neighbours out with detailing so always trying new products and improving techniques! Favourite gadgets from different ends of the price scale- Its a tie with the Rupess Ibrid Nano long kneck and the ScanGrip Multimatch - DA machines are great and the Ibrid enables you to get into some tight spots. The lights on the other hand ...really make a big difference.. v useful to have different sources of light in the garage when compunding/ polishing. I already have 5 fluorescent tubes and 3 seperate lights on the ceiling, but these take it to another level, especially for the sides of a car on a dark winters night. They are superb and I can highly recommend. And..... Detail Gardz - These eliminates the pesky hose pipe from getting caught on/under wheels. Once again v useful! Jungle
By the Frickin Beard of ZEUS.......****** ****** Nora........mate organised Chaos.....yuv a Fetish for them yella....cloths mate....lol.....Love the Rupes Trio.....class act....indeed..... Yer photos are massive...they've buggered up my old pc.....lol
Nice one, very organised! Life the fact you have separate boxes for trialling etc. Wish I had a garage, as would then have some mega lighting installed
I would blow those pictures out of the water with my old mop bucket and little meguiars case! Impressive collection dudes
Well obviously In all seriousness, embarrassed to say but many moons ago I used one of these to get rid off a stubborn mark on the windscreen. Suffice to say despite lots of glass polish later, I could always see the scour mark...school boy error and all that
I foolishly tried to remove burnt on brake dust from The wheels on my b5 Passat with one! They got plastic dipped a few weeks later!
I used to work at a community kids home teaching car maintenance and I asked one of them one day to give the lwb landrover a wash. Came back to find the proud lad standing back with a green scouring pad in his hand with a very clean vehicle. Next lesson involved polish, wax and much elbow grease...
