Saving your back; drying your applicators

[NYJets77]

I bought this http://www.jimrohrs.com/rollingseat.jpg from http://www.kotulas.com because I have a herniated disc (much better now after injections). It doubles as a gardening seat (its original purpose, really). The big tires make it very stable and easy to roll over a hose. Its steerable. Surprisingly comfortable doing wheels and lower panels. There's storage underneath the seat and a basket in the back, just right for MF towels and a bottle of Adam's DS/Revive/BW.

 

After I'm finished detailing, and I've washed out my applicators, I lay the grit guards down on the floor of my garage and let the applicators air dry on top of them. The airflow around them is perfect. It beats trying to hang them from a line or in a mesh bag.

Very Nice. I was in a bad car accident. I know how those injections feel. VERY PAINFUL, but my back feels great. This is something i will be looking into. Thanks for the find.

I use a old computer chair, I removed the back rest and arm rests. Its great for rolling around in the garage and drive way

wow never thought of that...great idea

[THE Mook]

For those with back problems that seems like a great idea!

 

I can't sit still for that long on my backside or I would get one too!

I have a MAC creeper seat that I use, but I would love one of the big wheel ones like you have. Cracks in the driveway kill my little wheels.

 

I've had 4 epidural injections and then back surgery. Weight lifting killed my back. Oops!

I use the Grit Guard or a plastic storage crate place upside down if I have several 6.5" pads to dry.

I'm a bit chubby, my back is badly out of alignment (professional opinion), and I have problems with the muscles in my lower back. I am so glad someone posted the idea of a rolling chair up because last detail when I was sitting down on the garage floor trying to polish, I was in a ridiculous amount of pain. I was stiff for 2 or 3 days after that.

Just be really careful with a chair like that, the basket or steering wheel could put in some damage you can't fix :willy:

 

But a rolling chair is a great tool to have

No back issues here just OLD!! I use a craftsman roll around seat that cost me 30 new. I wish it had bigger wheels.

Thats a tricked out little stool there. Looks cool. I just ordered one for 30 bones at Harbor Freight.

I thought about that, and the seat itself is all metal. I've used it twice already and keep it at least 2 ft away from the car. I was going to put foam pipe insulation on parts of it, but so far, its not an issue. And it doesn't roll by itself.

 

The metal seat is contoured and pretty comfortable, for whomever was wondering.

Thes make great seats as well:

 

 

I also carry Grit Guard buckets and caddy's and they come with a FREE foam pad for the top.

Had my eye on Adam's bucket for a while now.
