OT, but just short of very mild dust - and I mean mild, any of ya`ll refuse to clean your car without a PW. IMO, there is a night and day difference on how much topical dirt, etc comes off the panels via a PW versus regular hose. The less particulate I move under the mitt, the better... Maybe...

Have 1-3L of AF Avalanch to trade. Interested in : 5" CP Gloss Pads and Boss 5 Plate.

Already have Hydro2 in the stash....which is easy peasy and more durable than Hydrofoam. I have a bottle of Hydrofoam in my stash - I did not buy it, but it`s mine... Cars are coated. Some have reload. Some don`t. Some might even have overspray of Hyro02 - as I did use Hydr02 on the SUV`s roof...

In the last 24 hrs, I`ve been trying to read up on all the pre-wash products pros/cons/etc over at DW. They are really heavy into pre-wash treatments prior to washing.. Heavy on pressure washers as well, but I suppose the PW is due to stricter water conservation laws ? Anyone, for anyone more...

I`ve been using the newer foam lance for the past 2 months... If you already own the former foam lance, no need to upgrade. Aside from the adjustability to control whether the spread pattern is vertical or horizontal, to my *semi* experienced eyes and feel, the foam output is equally the same...

OT, but how strict are ya`ll when it comes to portioning/dilution rates when it comes to your detailing chems.... I`m somewhere in between. No like my wife who has to ~scrape~ the measuring spoons level with a knife, taps on the spoon to get the stuff to settle, then a few more taps :-) and...

Last night, I was vacuming the wifes rig and her door panel is a bit dirty.... Went digging for the bottle of 1Z Plastic Cleaner I know I have sitting around that I`ve never used.... Anyhow, any big 1Z fans here. my current go to:s Cockpit Blitz - Have 3 bottles cut 3 different ways Colourtec...

Is AF - Avalanch not ~imported~ stateside these days. Can`t seem to find a retailer carrying it

Just browsing old threads..... How many of ya`ll employ APC in your car wash routine. Old threads suggest this to get the paint clean on coatings, etc. I`ve never employed APC in any dilution rate as part of my shampoo process... Whether it be to ~reset~ the paint , or just a heavy double down...

To Brine or not to Brine :ph34r: Previous setup had 3 bay. Current house has 2. Garage queen and wifey`s car indoors. My DD outdoors. Today was the 1st snowfall, and I`m not sure what`s worse...Snow accumulation sliding off paint with unknown variable of XYZ on paint surface as snow slides off...

Got me some Essence + on Order. I have not used a finishing pad in a long time....the finishing pad in my stash are not thin... What finishing pad would ya`ll say would be nice and simpatico for my Rupes 15 or Boss 21..5" plates. Looking at all the usual suspects Urotec LC Thins Never used...

Used plenty of Hydro2 on wheels. 1st time using it on paint today. Not crazed about how the Tolco CR sprayers go with this product.... What`s your preferred sprayer for Hydro2 ?

With the DD all prepped for winter, and thinking about the possible winter regimine .... Preface: Cars are always washed outside and blown dried outside. I don`t even like blow drying the cars inside the garage and it will just blow dust, etc everywhere that might settle back indoors...

I like clean cars - I hate cleaning them..... 2 things I hate most at the end of the day...and then some. Dressing tires and Exhausts.. I can polish, coat, top the paint and it keeps itself nice and shiny for a decent while. Tufshine the tires - it lasts, but it`s missing some POP...that...

Going to dry a new process this year for winter cleaning maintenance Previous years, always washed car during the winter, when we had a day above freezing, I would wash early so the standby water would dry before it iced up again at night... Ultmately, I know I caused more winter marring than...

I`m hitting year 3 on my 1st stash of Edgeless Towels. Gotta ask, but do they all eventually start fraying. And once they do fraying, is it a slow wearing fray.....or do they pretty much take a sleep dive into fraying. My go to drying towels as of last week are edgeless as well. Was thinking...

Not much to say, but Paul in CS is amazing :thewave:

I don`t do waterless wash at all.... I DO keep a small bottle in the car and a large spray bottle. The small bottle is for bird bombs and the big bottle is for the door jambs, etc. So it got me thinking as I`ve always strived for that ultimate cleaning process - PW Rinse PW Foam/Soap Down PW...

Anyone wanna split 32 oz bottles of HD AAT Compound/Finish Polish - aka, 16oz each party

I`ve used Griots Shampoo for 16+ years now. Aside from that, I never really bought their stuff until the last couple of months. They sorta reminded me of "Hammercher Schlemmer", aka, that catalog type of company. In the last couple of months, I`ve bought the PWM towels, the pads, and just...
