DWP849X 

7-Inch/9-Inch Variable Speed Polisher with Soft Start

 Is a dewalt polisher which I do promote and sell here.

The price that i'm able to offer than market is because I sell this direct to you without through any retail cost.

When a product was stock under the shop will definitely cost a penny of electrical bill, water bill and etc.

here is the post about the DEWALT Price and spec.

By the way, this article here is to tell you more about dealt polisher. A rotary polisher that definitely deliver quality and comfort work.

let's go on~~

Sometimes we wonder what is a polisher tool can use for? for car only? or maybe there are something else than that.
Oh ya. boat, motorcycle, helmet even a musical instrument probably. As long as there is a surface to polisher and make it smooth for you.

Here you can select the speed of mode you want to.
the safe way is to start with lower speed before you move to the higher speed.

 the handle is a good grip here. one hand with holding the handler while another is a toggle grip on top of the polisher. This method offering a more stable way to do the work.

 Let's have a close look at the tool with woolpad here.

 when the work is delivering...

 This is a very good review which can be found in youtube. Which explain a how to do via spec explanation.

 Here is the work shop:

 While the review jump back to the explanation of the tool with a side handler as well as the backing pad.

and here you go. move the tool on.

 A bottom up of view that can see how it's work.

 Not just a car surface or boat....but a helmet. Guess if a person own a cool harley davidson bike. would you polish the helmet to make it looks great? I think someone can start a business just to polish helmet.

 Here is the outcome after the polish work!

 Try to catch this review if you can. But here, I had take down the screenshot with almost the fact they told.

So see the full star for this tool. I personally handled this tool before. Definitely a tool with great comfort handling experience. That is the name quality of dewalt can tell!

Here are more to go!! catch this!

 A outdoor review with polishing a car surface.

 Again, here is the speed mode to select.

 As per told by the review here, a control of finishing system which comes with soft start. Which mean start with lower mode and the lower mode was feeling of soft while delivering a great performance.
I think only when a person who hold this on hand can feel it.

 spreading the content of polishing liquid...

 Ah Ha!!!foam pad is falling apart. Please take note for all polisher user!! always change pad you are using! sometimes foam pad do wear out faster than other pad. Here are other polishing pad pad which deliver stronger performance. Click here.

 He do not want to waste a new pad for Eric's truck!! HAHA. LOL!

But when time to change...change le..

 A good to tell! NEVER use a damage pad.

 polishing a side door.

  polishing a side door.

 Here let's say your pad is damaged or while you are polisher a corner which is not a balance surface, you can fell the tool is remain stable. That's is the different of quality which do not found in other tool.

Here you go with variable speed trigger that help you in better handling experience. Remember handling experience is always one of the good and best point for a user to polish a surface. When polish work makes us feel tired then we will need a tool that can always help us in less tired work it can serve. What I mean here, Get a tool which can make you feel the most comfort so you can move on with your work. Make life easier!

If you see the yellow tool in picture you got no wrong, that is the top tool in market Dewalt DWP849X.

Something our online detailer never tell the truth about is:

Makita is expensive tool, it is due to its Japanese brand costing and power of Yen. Find one day when Yen currency drop the most then you will find it cheaper.

Flex is no matter what the most expensive in market.
Flex and Big foot Rupes cost for RM1k~RM2k in Malaysia!
Our currency can't get a good deal in this!

Land Rover Defender restorations at Robison Service

As we near the end of another extensive Defender restoration, I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on what makes a quality restoration, and what it takes to achieve that result.

Looking at the photo of the near-finished truck, it does not look very different from any other new Defender.  Except that this Defender is 19 years old!  And the fact is, with the work we did, it would not matter if the Land Rover we started with was 20, 30, or 40 years old.  The end result would look essentially the same, with the exception of period details.

You can go to any car show and see beautiful paint jobs.  But a paint job does not make a restoration.   Sometimes, all it makes is a mess.

When you paint a modern car, you are repairing damage on a vehicle that’s basically complete and serviceable.  So you can paint a scratch or repair a dent, blend the repair to the existing paint, and you’re fine. 

You can’t do that on an older vehicle like this.  In most cases, vehicles that are 20 years old have started to corrode on the seals and joints.  That’s usually where corrosion begins – there, and the places water is trapped under or inside.

A true restoration won’t hide corrosion.  It will remove it.  And a good restorer will take steps to reduce the chances of corrosion happening again, to the extent possible.

A proper restoration usually requires disassembly of the body.  Not just stripping the paint off – but actual disassembly.  On a job like this, we begin by taking the vehicle apart. We take photos every step of the way, and bag and tag the fasteners and hardware as we go.  Even when we use new hardware – often the case – having the original stuff tells us what sizes we need.

On a Defender we lift the body off the frame, and dismantle each section.  In this photo you can see the rolling chassis – rusted framing and all – in the process of teardown.  

A little while later, we begin the process of assembly – in this case, with a new galvanized frame.  We can use the old frames over – we can even galvanize them – but they are often weakened and building them back up will cost more than a brand new part.  Since the look is the same, we usually go new for this core component on 1990s trucks.  With an older vehicle we may go either way but a restored original frame will almost always end up costing a good bit more and that’s always a consideration.

As soon as the vehicle is apart we begin the process of stripping and overhauling the components.  This is a more extensive process than what we do when a vehicle comes in for component overhaul in our service department.  The difference:  In a restoration, we take everything apart, have the metal tank cleaned and blasted, and then we re-plate or powder coat every part before it goes back on.  The result is a subassembly that’s finished far better than it ever was new, and will hopefully outlast the original version as well.

The body sections are also broken into their component parts, and depending on the job, are liquid painted or powder painted after being cleaned up and repaired as needed.  On this truck we saved almost all the exterior sheet metal, though a good bit of repair was needed on some sections.

Disassembly and paint removal often reveals corrosion you never knew was there!

When the vehicle goes back together we replace or rebuild just about everything we handle under the car.  In many cases, we install upgraded or improved parts.  You can’t see this work unless you look close, but this kind of detail separates a paint job and cleanup from a true restoration.

Many of the parts we plate or powder coat were bare metal when these vehicles left the factory.  That may have been fine a few decades ago, but we cannot let them continue to corrode – in 20 more years there would be nothing left, and no replacement parts to be had.

Here are some examples, all of which are visible in the images of this truck

• -       We replace the steel fuel lines with stainless
• -       Rubber brake hoses are swapped for performance braid hoses
• -       All bushings and joints are new, as are springs and shocks
• -       Brakes are totally rebuilt with all wear items replaced
• -       Exhaust is new, and assembled with non-corroding copper fasteners
• -       Extensive use of stainless hardware to reduce corrosion on the body
• -       Everything under the car is finished with the same care as the top

We often make subtle improvements.  For example, this vehicle has a custom Badger top.  You can buy cheaper tops from a catalog, but I have never seen a better piece of work than what we get from The Badger.  He’s slow and he’s finicky but if you want the best . . .

This Defender also has the Exmoor premium seating, which looks fairly original but is light-years better than what was supplied in this truck new.

The wheels are another area of change.  In America, these trucks came with allow wheels and BF Goodrich general purpose tires.  For this fellow’s use we installed military Michelin XZL tires on NATO steel wheels – which were also powder coated.  They are very different from original, but they are what armies use on these rigs all over the world, for good reason.

It’s no surprise that we installed a better stereo.  For a beach truck “better” means water resistant.  For that, we turn to marine radio and speaker components.  The original Rover stereo would be ruined in the first rain shower.  This system will shrug that off, and it has Bluetooth, ipod control, and a host of other features.

We’ve also swapped the non-secure wood console for a lockable steel Tuffy Box.  The vehicle is open all the time, and some secure storage is needed, even on a small island. 

A job like this will eat up at least 1,000 hours and require the skills of a number of different craftsmen.  This particular truck employed:

-       general Land Rover mechanics

-       two body men

-       a painter (liquid)

-       a powder coat specialist

-       several metal platers

-       a fabricator/welder

-       several upholstery men

-       a good detailer

-       a stereo/electronics installer

The list goes on . . . this kind of project is far from a one-man task.

We’ll be sending this truck to its summer home in a few more days.  Stay tuned for the finish photos and description . . .

Coating & Protection - Part 3

Besides the Freelander which we exhibited a couple of days ago, we actually did a test as well on this classic Merc.

Well after 10 days, with NEO High Grade Polymer (WaterBased) from Scholl Concepts, it is still beading. The surface of the car was NOT compounded at all. Just washed with our Scholl Concepts, Shampol. NEO was applied directly without hesitation.

It's not a coating. It's not silica at all. It's purely High Grade Polymer. 

Can anyone explain to me what's all these hype about glass coating, nano coating, ceramic coating and what have you?

Steve Grimes
In 2007, after returning from a year-long tour of duty in Afghanistan with the 41st Brigade Combat Team of the Oregon Army National Guard, Steve Grimes was trying to decide what to do with the next chapter of his life.  Grimes found Honest-1, a young brand he felt he could grow with and opened his first location in Portland that September.  Six years later and he has been able to open four Honest-1 shops in Oregon and he will be opening his fifth Honest-1 location in Aloha, Ore., on July 5.  As a part of the grand opening, the first 50 customers will get biodegradable plant feed packets, five of which will win the customer free oil changes for a year.  He also has plans to open a sixth location in the next six months to a year.

Good Service & Good Fuel Economy

Most Denver motorists want to save on gas and seek our advice on improving fuel economy. Mastermind Enterprises Auto Repair Shop in Denver is frequently asked, "Is really worth the extra effort? Just how much money can I actually save as a motorist in Denver?

At Mastermind Enterprises Auto Repair Shop, we’re focusing on the things you can do to improve your truck fuel economy driving around Colorado. We’ll tell you the potential savings per gallon of gas for different maintenance and service for your vehicle.

Replacing a clogged engine air filter. Your engine needs enough air to burn fuel efficiently for the best fuel economy. A clean air filter means you get plenty of air. The fact that the air is clean protects your engine. That can save you up to 10% or 35 cents a gallon.

Fixing a faulty oxygen sensor can improve economy by up to 40%. That’s a whopping $1.40 in savings per gallon! Bring your car to Mastermind Enterprises Auto Repair Shop and we'll check your oxygen sensors. Chances are that if an oxygen sensor is kaput your check engine light will come on.

Now, there’s any number of things that could cause your check engine light to come on besides oxygen sensor problems. But if it’s on, get it checked out as soon as you can at Mastermind Enterprises Auto Repair Shop.

Here’s an easy one. Inflate your tires to the recommended pressure. That could save you 3% or 11 cents a gallon. Even a little drop in tire pressure will bring down your fuel economy, so check your tires every week.

Your vehicle manufacturer has recommended a specific weight of motor oil. The recommendation is based on engine design and will give you the best protection. Using a heavier weight could cost 1-2% in reduced fuel economy, or up to 7 cents a gallon.

Here’s one that’s free: Take it easy when you drive. Aggressive driving (we've all seen this on Denver roads and highways), rocketing away from stop lights, standing on the brakes, punching it for lane changes - really takes a toll on your fuel economy. Cutting out aggressive driving around Denver can save 5% or 18 cents a gallon. Now on the interstate it gets really costly: 33% or a $1.16 a gallon. Think about that - and leave a little earlier.

A related item is exceeding the speed limit. For example, if the speed limit is 60 miles per hour an additional 5 miles will cost 7% or 25 cents a gallon. Over 15 miles per hour will cost you upwards of 80 cents a gallon.

The last thing we’ll talk about is excess weight. Our trucks tend to accumulate a lot of things and the weight adds up. Clear out the trunk and only haul stuff when you really need it. For every 100 pounds you can save 2% or 7 cents a gallon.

Our goal at Mastermind Enterprises Auto Repair is to give you the best quality at the best prices in Denver. We look forward to servicing your vehicle soon! Thank you for reading!
