0 gdwenger Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I wish my garage had a leather sofa in it!!! Not a sofa, just a chair for a little admiring. Seems as age is catching up with me and I do a lot more admiring now. Since the chair is closer to the wash bay side of the garage – Tip use leather as it wipes down much easier. The sofa is in the ‘Waiting Room’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1" disposable foam paint brushes for SVRT on narrow or hard to reach areas. Like under the wipers on the cowl, or narrow rubber window moldings.
