    Tonya Welcome to Detailing

    I went to Big Lots today and got the pressure washer and a few other things. What do you think about the halogen and jack? I know the meg's stuff is not the best. But for a few bucks I figure it is some good back ups to have on hand.

    Nice buys Tonya..lights adnpressure washer will come in handay ..along with the floor jck...they will make things a bit easier..

    Nothing wrong with the megs stuff...they work....

    Nice buy...also if the lights do not have the bulbs inserted already..when you install them use a paper towel to touch them....when inserting them..hand oils can make them self destruct if you get them on the bulb glass....

    Yep 99.00 :thumb:
    22.00 I think it was a pretty good deal. I remember Sears had a sale a while back. I think I got a single halogen for about 12.00 or 15.00.
    Thanks!
    hehehe LOL :giggle: you should have see then looks I got from all the men while loading up my cart. I don't think it helped that I was in a suit and heels either. :rollinglaugh: One guy said your husband is going to be very happy. His chin about hit the floor when I told him .... no he wont this is for me :rollinglaugh: :applause2: :rollinglaugh:
    EXACTLY!! I can't wait for spring. I am getting ready!
    Now where to get a good deal on some jack stands. ooohhh they also had an air compressor a drill thingy to remove lug nuts... I almost got it. However I was not sure if it was any good. Plus.. I didn't have anymore room in my cart. :rollinglaugh:

    Looks good...

    One thing.. the halogens.. you may want to spend just a few more bucks and get the husky brand halogens.. I had a cheapo set and wasn't happy with the craftsman ship.. they felt really flimsy and didn't go as tall as I needed..

    Another cool think about the husky brand (aside from being solid as all hell) is that they come off the stand and also double as just floor halogens... If I remember correctly they are only about $35...

    I'm pretty sure BL has torring jack stands as well.. check another BL to be sure.. all of mine have them.. That jack will make it a lot easier to do your mud flaps!!!

    I think autozone carries aluminum stands, also depending on how much you want to spend snapon.com has aluminum stands for 80.00. Snap-on is expenzive but you get what you pay for.

    wow :druling: talk about great deals...okay girl I've never seen such a large container of Meg's QD wow.

    Oh that Pressure Washer is sick...the price that is, I've seen the exact same unit here localy for about $350 to $500..I kid you not it's sad.

    You werent kidding about loving your rims were you :applause: well done....seems like I'm not the only one getting ready for spring :whistle:

    Oh I can't wait for summer...:cheerl:

    I went to BigLots last week and bought 7 cans of TW-platinum tire spray. I did leave two =). I love that stuff for some reason. I love the look it gives.

    Now i'm thinking about the pressure washer. For the price its hard to beat. Me and Jason were talking about them. If you could get a summer you might get your money's worth out of it. Maybe i'll wait til they have one of those Friends and Family weekends agian.
