Post Your Unpacking Pictures

[Karl_in_Chicago]

This is more of a rediscovered in storage post rather than an unpacking post

Do any of you guys remember when this was a thing?

It’s from the same era as using diluted Woolite for interior cleaning

I can’t even remember how much I used to dilute this but I remember it was a potent cleaner

Anything that can clean blood and poop out of your false teeth must be good.

I still have a bit of that Charlie's APC, I stopped using the laundry stuff. I always just used the APC straight as a pre-treat, I think that's how they recommended it in conjunction with the laundry soap. I might have used it for some other random cleaning.

Yeah, nothing beats it as a laundry pretreat

I think I may have diluted it as an engine bay cleaner and a bug and tar remover

It's been close to 20 years ago so my memory is a bit foggy

The laundry soap didn’t impress me. I never bought Charlie’s Soap again

I don't know if you were over on Autopia, it was Patrick at Excel Detail that introduced us to Charlie's Soap. He was selling it until we all found we could buy it directly from Charlie. Poor Patrick, that happened to him with every product he found, I guess Meghan was watching everything and anything he started a buzz about, Autogeek picked up and undercut him. Except for Surf City, after he started selling that WalMart picked it up.

I haven’t browsed Walmart’s detailing products in ages. I guess I might be missing out on some finds.

I was on Autopia, in fact I may have been on there first

I honestly don't remember where I heard about it but it had to be one or the other forum

I found a lady who was a dealer and drove to her house and bought a few

I have 2 1/2 bottles left so I obviously found something better for whatever I used it for

I noticed they sell that Suds-Lab brand, although I have never tried any of that line

I will pick up a Megs item there every now and then if I need something to fill in while I wait for an order

Me either...however I'm pretty sure I'm not missing out on anything.

My El Cheapo foam cannon arrived yesterday. The Gute [pronounced Goot]!

I put like 1.5oz. of Megs Hyper Wash in it and washed a truck and it was ok…

I wanted to test it again, so I changed the orifice to the 1.1 and this time measured 3oz. of Hyper Wash and holy crap foam!
Pretty damn good for $14 bucks. I love this Yamatic gun too.

That is so weird, I was watching a video earlier and saw a clear bodied foam cannon in the video; I had never seen one before

What compound and polish did you use on the wheelie bin?

:laughing:

I found 2 oz to be the sweet spot with hyper wash

I just drowned it in foam and left it there for an hour. Lol

Who doesn't like a bit of bin foaming.....................





Someone once pointed out my dirty gardening bucket, they didn't know who they were dealing with......................................









Did I use enough?

So, does this mean you are a foam cannon convert now Mr. E-2k?

This got delivered today. We used our FlyBuys points, basically at certain shops you scan your card and accumulate points, every so often you can get stuff for free or discounted. I know they bump up prices to cover this, but I was going to shop there anyway, I've previously got my Sony NC Headphones this way as well. It's mainly for in the house, but I'll be able to clean car interiors as well.

You’re gonna love that thing if it’s your 1st time using one. It’s wild how much dirty water those things can pull out of stuff.

I used my Bissell Pet Pro yesterday to deep clean these mats that someone on another forum was asking if anyone had available.

Depends on the cannon and pressure washer. What ones do you use?

I’m right there in the 2 oz per cannon load

1 cup in a gallon jug and top with warm water

Greenworks 2,700 psi and MTM cannon

Makes a great blanket that slides down slowly and takes the mung off

Just asking because your ve52 has awesome flow rate. In a lesser machine with less flow rate ( I have a Ryobi as well) a little more soap amps up foam.

You have about 50% more gpm (1.8 vs 1.2). More gpm makes for thicker foam.

Jealous of your PW…
