  1. The new design has one possible advantage. Dirt that falls down below the platform is less likely to stirred up compared. to the one today. The current design relies on the vanes to limit movement but cannot prevent it. This design requires it up come back up the smaller holes. However, some could settle on the surface since there is more surface area. I would give it a try if I needed to buy one.
  2. I have a Luxor cart branded by another detailing company. I use a variety of brands so decided not to post any pics. The nice feature is having 4 swivel wheels so you can stick in a tight space.
  3. Nothing but I did get some new Adam's Car wash. The pump thing is interesting.
  4. It would be interesting if he went to Rupes like Jason Rose (Meguai's) and Todd Helme.
  5. I had seen someone use it on the perimeter of aggressive tread tires rather than try to get dressing in the deep treads. I used it once so far and seemed to work ok.
  6. I usually see a need for more side illumination than overhead illumination.
  7. I was stating using the MB on a standard household 20A circuit (like my garage) where the outlets are just rated for 15A. The wiring is sufficient for the job but the wall outlets and the 12AWG do not have the offcial 20A rating. Of course, if the circuit runs all over the house you have the drop associated with that... I do not recommend using a 18A device on a 15A circuit. Here is an example from HD 25 ft 12AWG/3 wire cord spec: 15 Amps, 125 Volts, 1875 Watts UL listed I agree to do it right by the code you should either get a true dedicated outlet rated for 20A or larger if using more devices especially if they are near continuous use. However, most people will likely find a 20A circuit in the garage (most codes require it) and use a 1875W rated extension cord because that is what most people find. If the circuit is shared by high current devices then you could experience trips.
  8. Yes Bathrooms, kitchens, and garages usually have a 20 A breaker. They run 12AWG wires to the outlets from the electrical box to allow use of multiple higher load devices. However, they actual outlet in the wall just like the 12AWG cord sets are actually "rated" 15A/250V. A real 20A outlet looks like what I showed. There is no real risk of running a 20A device from a 15A/250V rated outlet or cord for intermittent use (not dedicated). In a house, most 20A circuits are shared circuits. If you go pick up an extension cord at HD that shows a chart carrying 20A (12AWG), the end plugs are still rated 15A/250VAC. These are ok for intermittent use. I run my MB from a shared 20A breaker circuit in the garage using a Husky brand 12AWG extension (with 15A rated ends) without any issues.
  9. Most 12 AWG extension cords that carry 20A current still have ends (plug/socket) that are UL rated only to 15A. For intermittent use (less many hours continuous), you will not likely have an issue. Most houses rarely have a real 20A wall outlet and often it is because they are dedicated. You see them most in medical locations.
  10. The chrome on chrome clad (chrome on plastic) is indeed real chrome but it is not as thick nor bonded nearly as well as chrome is to metal so you should treat it with some care. It is more like paint but you still cannot remove scratches like paint. Most wheel cleaners should be ok but I would protect with a wax/sealant.
  11. I think finding some new challenges (friends and in laws) helps keep up the interest.
