My Garage Transformation

[AutoNova]

I thought it would be interesting to see how far the garage has come in 6 months. I have been adding little by little as money has allowed. The floor is the Rustoleum Epoxy that I got at HOme Depot in a kit.

That looks pretty good organized and clean ... when can i come and park my car over ..... looks great!

Looks great. What did you use on the floor?

[Teak]

Cool garage you there. Keep up the work on the garage. How is the Rustoleum Epoxy holding up? What type of lighting do you have in the garage? What are your future plans?

I need more money to purchase more products.

NOMADZ1,
Autonova used the Rustoleum kit from Home Depot.

I love it man it is the heated version and I use it along with the little yellow steamer in t
he picture and I can knock out some serious interiors. I am starting to realilize what a valuable
tool a steamer can be for all parts of the interior.

what kind of steamer is it?

I have that little toy - the shark steamer - I think it's garbage, but for that 2" square space it works - pretty good.

what do you look for in purchasing steamers?

It is a McCulloch Steamer, I got it at Harbor Freight Tools. It holds about a gallon of water and comes with several attachments. i look for on that gets about 180 degrees and will last through a big car with no problems.

The steamer seems to be reasonably price around $100 for the weekend warrior.

Have you used the steamer for leather?

How is the floor coating holding up?

I use the steamer everyday and have for about a year now and it has held up great. I do use it on very soiled leather if need be I will spray some APC or Woolite and go over the seats very lightly with the steamer.

The floor coating is great and durabe, it has held up for about 6 months now even with all the chemiclas I get on the floor and driving in and out.

AutoNova,

Just so you know, I have resized one of the images you have posted. It was very wide, causing me to have to scroll horizontally. Most people will find this to be an inconvenience because it also forces each person to scroll to read each individual response.

I resized your image using a cool free program called Easy Thumbnails. Here is a link where you can learn how to do this and find where to download the program:

Generally, 600 pixels wide is considered to be the normal size for posting images on forums. However, sizes up to 700 pixels wide are generally acceptable. Anything wider will cause some users to have to scroll.

On the topic of your garage...

All I can say is WOW! Looks great! I love the organization of it, as well as your very professional looking banner.

It seems that you have a Rigid shopvac, which is what I have as well. How do you like it?

I can't help but notice all of the gallons of products you have. Looks like you are armed to tackle any detailing job you come across!

I hope you are proud of you nice layout!

Good luck with your business!

I am impressed

Is the laquer thinner for detailing or sometihng else?

[AutoNova]

I use it for removing road paint that has sprayed up on wheel wells or to clean my own hands after painting wheel wells.

I was looking over the pic again and...

Wow... Looks like you have a mile of hose on the wall for your shop vac.
