I`m expecting my small shipment from Poorboy`s tomorrow.

Five gallons sound like a LOT?? It did to me too. I`m just one guy, an amatuer...not in business...detailing one vehicle. I started using S&W last April, bought 12 bottles and then a 5 gallon bucket. I got another 5 gallon bucket last October and opened it last week. I`m figuring I`ll probably need another one about August or so.

That`s what I did - spray and wiped with the blade. My car was polished and waxed last weekend, but it`s been pollened and rained upon. No heavy soil just dust that was wettened. I don`t pretend to know what all is in spray and wipe but I don`t see how using the blade is any more likely scratch than wiping with a MF or terry cloth would be. If it`s safe with an MF, should be safe with a blade - if anything it might even be safer since the blade pushes all the liquid in front of it whereas the MF is going to pull the liquid away from the paint ... :dunno

I don`t think it`s safe to use S&W and then blade it. A mf will pick up dirt particles so it`s not as likely to scratch but it seems to me that you want to get the dirt off before dragging a blade over it.

Other opinions need here as I`m not that experienced or knowledgeable.

I`m not a professional detailer either, but I`ve just about finished off my first 5 gallon pail of S&W. I`ll need to order one of those new fancier 5 gallon containers soon. :mohawk

I just ordered me a 5 gallon "bucket" of S&W from Dwayne at Premium. He said that it would be shipped directly from Poorboy`s. Hopefully it will be the new stlye container (Steve?) With the 10% Detailcity discount and free shipping in March, it turned out to be a great deal! Check it out.

yes your 5 gallon container went out yesterday....Dwayne even paid for your spicket, which is extra....so yes you got a great deal
We have no more pails...they were replaced with square shelf sitting containers
