0 70'sChevyGirl Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 GUM Soft-Picks These have nice soft bristles on one end. Good for your teeth but great for very small spots that you just can get clean unless you have something very small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 b_pappy Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 A few years ago I was in a cosmetic store with my wife, my sister and my niece (3 separate people) and there was a display of foam tip applicators (for eye makeup). I grabbed a handful to show my wife, to tell her I wanted some. I was met the saleswoman who was having a hard time keeping a straight face as I explained what I wanted them for. She let me keep the samples. Very handy though. Bruce Doug123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 StormChaser Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I also use make up applicators for the VRT on the window sills and other small areas. Then I never have to clean up the glass or paint!!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Gone & Forgotten Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I get gloves from my wife (works at a surgery center in the materials dept), I get medical masks (when dust is too much and I'm a little under the weather with a sore throat) from her, I get my foam block applicators from the 2x2' packing foam (egg carton style) she brings home from work (i have tons), she brings me long q-tip swabs, wooden with cotton on one end, but Mook already beat me to my primary non-detailing tool that gets the job done faster and helps me focus - My stereo in my garage. I have a 1000 sf detached double garage that I have to fill with everything from old school Rush, to Chimaira and Inhale/Exhale while I detail. Without that, the job would NEVER get finished right. +1 on the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Bunky Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 It really is nice when vacuuming interiors in garages, polishing paint, or buffing of the wax/sealant. It will really highlight dirty wells, crud in crevices, etc. when doing the final inspection. It is hands free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 LFairbanks Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Fenix makes some nice stuff, Al. I thought about picking one of those up here a couple of weeks ago. Went with a Black Diamond one however because of the difference in weight. Using it for and outdoor adventure that I have planned, and weight was an important factor for me.

Lift saves a lot of bending doing the lower body panels.
