My Detailing Trailer (And Blow Wow)

First, let start with Richard aka Octane Guy's new product, Black Wow:



Works great, absolutely love it!


Now, here is something I have been working on for my MINI. Took me about 4 days to put together, and I finished it last week. I have been towing it to all my detail jobs for about a week now, and it works great. It doesn't take bumps in the road too well though...kind of scary to be honest hearing the noise it makes.

Anyways, here are the pictures:


Gotta have an "artsy" shot:

Now that looks very handy. I suppose those leaf-springs on the trailer make it a bit hoppy, but I don't know what else you could do. Looks great!

Neat little rig, ski! Why don't you get a black net tarp to go just under the intricate tie-down system?

Looks great!

Only rec I would make would be to paint the plywood to make it look more professional.

That's a sweet setup you have there. That would be my ideal package if I were to go into detailing like that. Very nice!

No worries, I have a gallon of Hydro, Slick, and Clarity sitting on my shelf in my garage . I just don't bother taking it mobilely (just refill if I need to before i leave).

It is the film from www.mossmini.com . I wouldn't recommend it. It is a PITA to install...but it does look nice!!
