Post Your Unpacking Pictures

[Kacz]

I have no intentions of detailing for pay either but I still read and enjoyed Rennys book. I would love to hear your thoughts on Avalanche. Nice order!:xyxthumbs:

I've read good things about the book, so I figured why not...maybe it will change my mind and I'll want to pursue a side gig.

I never see much said about any of the shampoos I ordered, so maybe I'll write a few reviews when the weather gets nicer. I've used Avalanche before, but not in a foam cannon. I think a foam cannon will release it's full potential and probably the full potential of the other shampoos as well.

Excited to use Reflect as well.

Still waiting for my steamer.

Nice! Fantastic order.

Art,
Is that the "non-acid" version? I can't tell from the photo because I'm looking at it on my phone.
If it is the acid version its going to eat up any trigger sprayer you try. I had three of the lifetime warranty ones that I bought last summer and they lasted one application! I even rinsed them out with clear water afterwards! Nick sent me some new ones earlier this month and I haven't tried those yet but I just wanted to warn ya'.

THE BAGS ARE NICE!

It's my second Mother's Wheel Brush.

I am conducting a small experiment and decided to order a new one. I'll try and get it on film.

Yes it is CarFather (non acidic)

I called Meguiar's a bunch of times before ordering it.

Cool thing is I saved the OTC Meguiar's bottle "Hot Wheel and Rims" to test if it sprays foam with D143 and it does.

So after thinking it through, I had a 21oz bottle.

So I divided 21 by 3 and got 7

Since it is 2:1

I figured that 7oz's of D143 concentrate and 14oz's of water.

Did I do it right?

If your dilution is 1:2, yes. 1:2 means "3 total parts". One part product + 2 parts water = 3 parts.

21/3=7.

7 parts water + 7 parts water + 7 parts product = 21 total parts.

Nice!

Sweet order Tony!

Think Car-Momma will like it?

Surprisingly enough, SHE DID!
Soon as I showed her the new Rupes she took it out and started playing with it. God I have an amazing wife. She's been waiting on me hand and foot, then buffing like a champ on the weekends.

I forgot in the 'unpacking' photo to put (well to have the kid put) other stuff out there that I've picked up lately. Like both PBL paint kits and some more random stuff.

I was really surprised though at the Husky bags. The middle one with the open top and metal handle will hold 8 spray bottles! (Or a TON of compound & polish bottles.) :dblthumb2:
The big one, (duffle style) will hold a big buffer like the long Rupes easily. Makes for a great pad bag as well. Put my selection of 4" pads in 2 of the small ones.

I forgot about the "Hot Rims" bottles being 'foamers'. I throw old bottles in a box in my little garage. Bet I have at least 1 of them in there.

I picked up 3 of those bottles of Griot's with the foaming head at Advance the other week when they had them really cheap. Had to go to TWO stores but it was worth the price just for the bottles/sprayers.

I *really* like that D143. Don't use the other anymore on anything but wheel wells.
