    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I use one for all the cracks, crevices, door handles, emblems, etc. use the sponge elsewhere. Keep the detail brush and my drying aid in one of those plastic devices that hangs on the side of the wash bucket. I wash sections such as roof and windows then spray with drying aid and dry with drying...

    Quirky Habits When Detailing

    I will admitt to one quirky habit when washing my vehicles. Do my washing in my driveway. My garage is integral to my house which means there is just a wall that separates my basement from my garage. My basement happens To be finished and also contains my laundry room which I also use during...

    DFB's Rince-less Wash Shootout

    Well many of us here are just enthusiasts. While I don't mind paying a premium or even twice as much for a product I want there to be something about that product that makes it significantly superior to other products.That to me justifies a premium price. Not that a bottle of rinseless wash that...

    DFB's Rince-less Wash Shootout

    DFB, This is a very good thread on rinseless washes and I want to thank you for creating it. You mentioned those that developed Hero were initially against rinseless washes. I suspect the reason they created Hero had a little more to do with if they didn't develope a rinseless they would be left...

    Different Twist On Pre Soak

    Well I have changed my mind again. I feel like a ping pong ball on this subject. As I said initially I am looking to keep the use of things simple. What I was not aware of, through my own ignorance, was that there are systems to wall mount a pressure washer. The pressure washer hose is on a reel...

    Different Twist On Pre Soak

    SA, Thanks for the suggestion on the boost pump. It got me thinking. At present the boost. pump is the leading canidate. I had entertained that thought before but couldn't really find a pump that also worked well for that application. Found a pump that will do a max of 5 GPM and a max pressure...

    Different Twist On Pre Soak

    Yes they do. I checked into it when I bought the Eley hose nozzle and then realized my pressure was too low. But that is a whole involved thing. Think my water pressure issue involves the number of new houses they have built near me. Don't know much about municipal water systems but I assume the...

    Different Twist On Pre Soak

    I'm in Pennsylvania. I actually got the very nice hose nozzle listed below a little earlier this year after watching some videos on it by a couple detailers.Probably the finest hose nozzle on the planet. I had to return it because my water pressure wasn't sufficient to allow it to perform to its...

    Different Twist On Pre Soak

    Figured out at least one aspect of this. After thinking about it for a bit I surmised that any attempt at pre soaking should be done on a dry surface. If one rinses prior to pre soaking then the wet surface would allow the pre soak to slide off. Especially on vertical surfaces. Trying to wrap...

    Different Twist On Pre Soak

    Turtle wax Seal and shine, Optimum Car Wax, then I typically wash once a week give or take a few days and drying aid has Optimum Car wax in it so it gets a little at every wash.
