Hi everyone,

About a week ago, Brown delivered two boxes to my house and look at what I found inside......



Well, due to all of the rain that the Southern Tier/ downstate NY area has recieved this spring and at the end of June, they had some pretty severe flooding. I went with a crew from my fire department (all volunteer) down to the Binghampton, NY area and we spent 2 solid days of pumping basements out for people that got flooded out. Well needless to say when I got back I was whipped.

So, this weekend the weather was good and the beer supply was in good shape. Here area a few pics to show the results and there are more in my gallery in the "all cleaned up" album.





Enjoy.

 

Looks good -- now you've got to keep her clean!

 

Looks great!

 

I love the water magnets, big blues (did you order this stuff from PAC?), #26, and most of the other stuff...

I'm not a fan of the Tire Cleaner, mop on a stick, or the mitts... hopefully you'll have better luck with those than I did...

Thanks guys for the comments.

RP-

I ordered everything from one of your favorite places... auto detailing solutions (not sure if this is the same as PAC that you mentioned). I figured that it was time to get rid of my crate o' rags & towels and purchase some good MF towels etc. This is the first time that I have used the water magnets and I love them and the jury is out on the mop on the stick. As you have said before, try it and if you like it.

 

Ahh... ADS. Very good choice... I need to buy stock in that guy.

PAC is premiumautocare.com -- another fine online vendor that I deal with on occasion.

 

I also do not like the wash mop. It is too rigid in my opinion. It does not conform to the surface of the vehicle. I took the telescoping handle from the wash mop and put the wide body brush head on it, and that works great for washing my truck

 

RP-

With the many times that you have mentioned his site, at least they can supply you with free stuff!

 

Nice truck by the way, I love Red.

 

I have to agree with you. When I was looking at buying a truck, my wife told me that I could not get a red one. Well, I think that we know who won.

 

add another vote no on the mop .. never been happy with it myself ..


good looking truck .. I am kinda partial to red myself .. (I am on red truck #5)

 

your truck looks great. My brother has one same color. Where did you buy your kit from? what package did you get? Did you have to buy anything that didn't come with the kit?
keep cool in this weather, nothing like wearing turnout gear on a 90 degree day.

 

Nice stuff man! You can order kits like that over at Meguiar's.com

I ordered and received some Exterior Trim Detailer yesterday. Will try it out this weekend.

 

Ugh... that NXT kit... there are three products in that entire kit that, in my opinion, are worth a flip.

I'd suggest looking at www.autodetailingsolutions.com -- if there's something that you want in a kit you're buying, simply ask them. I'd say that they'd be pretty willing to switch...

 

Jim,

Amen to the turnout gear and hot weather ... especially when my departments gear is black

What I purchased was not a kit. I picked and choosed what I wanted and got it from http://www.autodetailingsolutions.com as RP mentioned above. It took about a week for it to ship via ground from Arizona. The total cost was just over a 'c note' with shipping.

Good luck and be safe.
