I was buying all my bicycle stuff from Ireland and England for the longest time and just like you, DHL had it to me in Alaska or Hawaii in a few days at very reasonable cost

2 McKees golden sponges
N914 V2
A dozen chemical resistant Tolco sprayers
6 TRC 16x24 Gauntlet towels
And don’t worry about me, I blamed it all on you guys

You *need* all those sprayers becomes sometimes sprayers need to be cleaned so having extra sprayers to spray the dirty ones just makes sense. I think the dinosaurs died out because they didn't have enough sprayers, or something like that.

Honestly, it is weird how some of the most innocent liquids we use will just kill a sprayer and then a sprayer in some caustic liquid will just last and last
Mostly I’m replacing some Zepp sprayers that aren’t that old
They sucked from the start
That brand used to be great but they got really hit or miss
And tell the dinosaurs to get their own damn sprayers
I’m not sharing

Pilot is one my favorites from ADS, that and Amplify.

Well now you've made things difficult, because I liked the reviews of Nextzett Cockpit, and now there's Pilot to consider, well, I still have to use up my TWHS Inside Job, so I've some time.

I'd say Nexzett cleans better, and the Turtlewax would have more dressing ability, so Pilot would sit in the middle in delivery modest cleaning ability and a completely matte OEM look. I love it for the scent alone, but keep coming back to it because of its ease of use and matte finish.

I used up the last of my NV Snow last weekend, I have used some other brands before, so I decided to test a new brand this time, something cheap. I went with a store brand from Repco. It was already cheap by comparison, but it was a further 25% off. Eclipse Hyper Foam, 2 litres for $24. I can always give it away if I really don't like it. It does have a different scent, smells a bit like hand cream

I clicked on the icon of the image next to chain, then selected from my gallery. Because I used to go through Tapatalk, I was already reducing the pictures down to 800 X 600 pixels, so I just went with that. I use the Photoshop ap in my phone to make the adjustments. I don't know what the size limit is, but I may experiment next time. But the smaller ones don't come out to bad if you run some filters over them.

My impression was P&S Express meets Meguiars Quick Interior DetailerI'd say Nexzett cleans better, and the Turtlewax would have more dressing ability, so Pilot would sit in the middle in delivery modest cleaning ability and a completely matte OEM look. I love it for the scent alone, but keep coming back to it because of its ease of use and matte finish.
It had some foaming action wiping it around but not as much as Express and the after effect was similar to the Quick but less of a stripped feel
The Lexus materials are very finicky and the other interior cleaners I have tried leave it feeling dried out like cardboard
When I got that dried out effect I tried going over it again with Perl at 5:1 and that was way too dark and saturated to still look OEM
The pilot seemed to hit the sweet spot and just clean it and leave it looking new without feeling and looking either stripped or greasy
I was hesitant because Deyon had mentioned something about a cologne smell but I totally don't get that
To me it is a very subtle scent and is quickly gone
All of the 6 products I got have very very light scents compared to a lot of other products
Hero and Amplify are up on deck for later today so I will report in after that

I have enjoyed the NV products I have, including Snow and Snow+, but now that Carzilla has started charging a minimum of $50 shipping I am probably looking at alternatives myself

Opie, resizing doesn't make pics grainy...unless you try to blow them back up to the original size, I guess.

Yeah, I haven't seen or heard from him in a long time
I think he kind of disappeared while I was in AG exile earlier this year
Gummi was the absolute best thing to use on the window and door seals of my Audi TT
Normally 303 would do the trick wiped on straight and buffed off but for some reason the TT hated that
