    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
