MYCHANIC
The MYCHANIC brand is an up and coming brand that is making a name for itself with well designed and professional grade materials. This detailing rig is no exception. Dressed out in their iconic Irish Green hue, this detailing rig is eye-catching and handy. When offered a chance to try out this detailing rig, we jumped at the offer! They are based in Tennessee and we first met them at the AAPEX show in Las Vegas, NV last year.
DETAILING RIG
The box arrived with the partially assembled detailing rig heavily padded and carefully wrapped. Order this and the FedEx man won’t be delivering a banged up, damaged product. When a company puts this much thought into how to package and ship it, you know this is a company you’ll like seeing more of.
This rig is made of powder coated heavy gauge metal pieces that were easy to assemble. It helps if you follow the instructions, but it was easy to assemble.
DETAILING RIG DESIGN
This detailing rig comes with FIVE heavy duty urethane casters with roller bearings. The fifth caster on the one end makes it that much harder for it to tip over. Again, well engineered!
The bucket comes with a removable perforated bottom grid. You’ve probably seen endless variations on this guard, but the purpose is to let the dirt and grime that accumulates in the water bucket, settle below the grid and not in your bucket water. Many serious detailers use a two bucket method to further reduce the dirt accumulation in your wash water, but again this shows MYCHANIC’s attention to detail. The bucket rim includes two sets of cutouts to hang your favorite detailing product from.
DETAILING RIG COMPONENTS
The metal tray is a great place to store a few rags or tools while detailing your car. The side beverage holder is a great place to plop a drink, cuz’ we all know detailing is hard work.
The padded seat is form fitting and provides for a comfortable pad for your aching butt. The best news is the seat pad is easily detachable, so it can serve as a kneeling pad or you could even plop your rear end even lower to the ground.
The detailing rig is a good height and will put you up along the belt line of the car if you need to do some serious work along the sides of the car. Plus with the bucket, it is a great tool for general car washing duties.
USEFUL DETAILING RIG
Of course, this rig is not just reserved only for detailing duties. It would be a great overall mechanic seat when working on brakes, front end, and other car parts. It is heavy duty and will stand up to some serious work duty. You can check out the seat here or look over their entire product lineup. They are good folks with some great ideas.
