1 b. wash & products used

This is IMO. From an enthusiast. Trying not to swirl
up my paint, when I wash the Malibu.
Went to a coin op. for a pressure wash, with only
1 bucket filled with

The pads & mitts sucked up all the water in the bucket.
I would use a wash media 1 per panel, throw it in the
spare empty bucket for later transfer.
They all performed as they should, with the standout
being : Madness Incredipad. Stayed light, easy to hold, forming to my grip, like an extension of my hand.
The CG`s blacklight soap : Has wax or something,
I could see it almost rolling around. Cleaned & rinsed
well, scent of grape or raspberry. Liked it.

Drying was a treat, with a PFM & batt. op blower
for crevices.

This towel put my WWmicros to shame !! Which are now windows only.

My drying aid to remove any water spots :
Rupes P808 mixed 1:1 W/distilled.
Gyeon Soft wipes edgeless 16x24
Esoteric Ultra edgeless 16x24

Rupes P808 : Is a very good drying aid that adds shine & slickness, without streaking. Plus helps remove dried on spots.
Smells sweet like a Pina-colada.
Gyeon`s Soft wipe : Was grabby, and I pre- washed them alone, twice. I`ll have to use them for jambs.
Esoteric Red Ultra : Just jumped in bed with my Eagles.
They stayed soft, absorbant, gliding across the paint. Buffed without lint. Lighter & alittle thinner then Eagles, but just as impressive.

Exterior glass: Pinnacle Crystal Clear, for the rain repellent. Love this product.

Interior glass : PB`s glass, for streakless glass.
Without a rain repellent. Nice. Dependable.

The bottle is a DI 16oz. W/ their sprayer, which
is small, easy to hold, long trigger. Performed well,
no drips, solid spray pattern. Liked it better than the
red handled 8oz.

That is quite the collection of wash media! Car turned out really amazing. Good work.

Nicely done, Mary

Nice review Mary!

Would you say the Esoterics are worth the additional expense in comparison to the Eagle Edgeless towels?

Eagles are tops. Maybe for that reason. Color coding may come into play, since Eagles have blue & orange, while Eso. has red & black.

Thanks Mary!

Great to see a fellow enthusiast showing the way :)

Thanks for the detailed writeup, Mary!

Great way to do a single bucket wash

Looking at the Rag Company version of that media. Good reviews from the UK variant. Does the incredipad seem to clean better in crevices since the fingers are much smaller than the other mits?

Gotta be it ! The small strands, wipe the smaller areas with ease.
Will be using it Fri morn. Plus the new Autopia 2 sided mit. [emoji4]

Car looks so clean.

Similar set-up to when I do similar jobs at the coin-op. Although, I usually don`t use a drying aid.

How long did you take for this wash? I want to say the last time I did this, maybe 3 hours for me. Although, I think I did chemical and mechanical decon as well.
