Overall PPF is a real winner on cars you care about that get driven more than a garage queen; now that I'm more familiar with it, working on sending our other toy in this Winter to get done. For a full application of PPF alone you could probably expect anywhere from $4500 on up for.

Some general thoughts on ceramics and PPF: https://budgetplan1.wordpress.com/pp...ramic-coating/

As mentioned, ask 32 people what is BEST and you'll get 32 different answers. While there really is no single universal BEST, there probably are some things that are best FOR YOU. There are a lot of great products out there currently, both OTC and a bit more specialized.

As long as you find something that consistently makes you stare at your car and smile, you win...no matter what anybody else says or thinks (including me)...this stuff is supposed to be fun after all, no? 😎


When was the last time you wished for a smaller television 😄...go big or go home! Really, you dont need 8hp as an occasional hobbyist...but you might *want* 8hp:

I mostly went with that one (BlowerPRO) because it is really, small, light and compact...squarish instead of longer and rounder. A good wax, sealant, coating or PPF really makes drying w air an especially efficient process.
I've used the leaf blower, Master Blaster and now the BIGBOI. Without a doubt, the BIGBOI is by far the BEST!! You will not regret it.

Here is a link to a photo album with some of the products that I like use for detailing...chemicals, tools, etc.

Here are few shots showing the end result of paint correction, coating, high quality products, and good detailing techniques.

Just fired this baby up in garage. I love new toys.

Are they really loud when cranked up. So far I did 1 motor at half and 1 at full and it was really loud off and on. Belt squeal loud. Just curious if that happens at first or kind of loud in general or if I have a possible issue. Only ran for about 3 minutes and it is a small 2 car garage.
Thanks.

Lacking anything better to do on a 32 degree Saturday morning, stepped into our 2 car garage, wedged myself between the hibernating C7 and garage wall and fired up the BigBoi, both motors on Hi.

Might be as useless as trying to pick an exhaust based on a YouTube clip but best I can do 😄


Sure am looking forward to Spring.
