    Canvas/Fabric Coating

    Christmas came early. Sold my Big Green Egg, bought me a PK360 grill. Anyhow, the cover on it is cheap. But it`s shaped/formed for it, so that`s the cover I`ll use Looking at coatings/sprays/protectants for the canvas material (even though the unit itself is all aluminum and stainless)...

    Air Pressured Sprayers - Still using them ?

    Anyone still using the handheld air pressure sprayers like the solo and stuff. I personally just like the simplicity of a 20oz handeld spray with the Tolco nozzle. Bit more work to refill when I`m using product though. Weight and mist are two things I factor when ~using said apparatus~ Back...

    Coagulated SIO2...

    Was at my relatives house, whom I gifted some Hydr02 to. Anyhow, it`s too long in the spraybottle and the product has coagulated. Anyhow, just as a test bed, I sprayed it on a snow tire/wheel that`s coming off for deep cleaning Some interesting observations. Said coagulated SIO2 comes out of...

    A New Drying Towel and it`s not MF

    I`ve been using some of my older *new* WW towels as drying towels for dishes. At the same time, I have this one that is WW, but super thin, and more like a 8x8 square. Anyhow, the super thin WW seems to work better with the dishes....maybe due to thinner, it primes faster (dunno). The regular WW...

    The oils / SIO2 sludge

    Was at my bro-in-laws yesterday and he still had some of the premixed Hydr02 I gave him to use on his car. Anyhow, it somewhat congugulated - aka, white sludge in the bottle per se. I`ve seen this sludge myself years ago on Reload bottle, which I stopped using and as it evaporated, it was on...

    HydroFoam

    I`ve had a bottle of Hydrofoam that`s been sitting around for almost a year now. Figured a winter topper wash was perfect fit for it for me to use it up. Granted I probably did not use the exact recommended dilution rate and I did add a splash of Reset to the bucket. Maybe the reset was too...

    Out of all the tools we employ to wash our cars....and I`m sure we have many we use and some we don`t The extractor get`s the most auto for carpets. Our high end Dupray Hill Injection saw car cleaning usage a couple times, but to be frank, it wasn`t my cup of tea for car cleaning. I can see...

    Traffic Film Remover - Not a consumer Item

    so.......what`s in a traffic film remover product. A high alkaline product that is not in consumer format as it`s just not consumer friendly/safe ? Granted, I`m sure the the stuff that is for volume car wash places are much caustic in formulation, but any rhyme or reason we don`t see any...

    What`s with the short pressure washer setup

    Over at a Utubers site and another auto detailing vendor, there seems to be a movement for a short pressure washer handle setup. My current rig is pressure washer gun, 18 inch (I think ) flexible extension and then whatever tip I use. When I foam the car, yes, I plug the cannon directly onto...

    Frozen Windshield Washer Lines

    :bonk::redface::o:o:o Hopefully the third times the charm. Wifes car windshield fluid lines were frozen. Turns out I did not make the proper dilution ratio on my go to WW mix....it wasn`t frozen, just slushy. I suppose driving speeds and the below freezing temps alleviated the cold/freeze temp...
