I really like my Marolex sprayer but I prefer the Labocosmetica rebranded IK foamer for foaming duties. I could never get the Marolex foamer to work very well.

I've been using it for a couple of years and it's good. It foams well for 1oz into 32oz of water, smells like Red Bull, and does remove light surface dirt but not much beyond that (and how much of that is from the pressure wash rinse off). The foam does cling well and I can easily go fill my...

Sonax got back to me and said:

Going by the SDS and ingredient sheets both products are identical. I'm going to email Sonax and ask them to find out for sure. If they are in fact the same the 500ml of Ceramic Polish for $1 more than 250ml of 02-06 is a bargain. I'd also like to ask them about cure time and how soon I can top...

Does anyone know if Sonax's Ceramic Polish AIO is the same thing as the Proline Glaze OS 02-06? I'm already going to be using their ceramic spray coating and detailer as my LSP and topper this year, so should I find the time to give my car a polish it could be interesting to also use their...

That's good to hear. I actually bought a set of microfiber gloves to try and apply sealants more easily. I never felt like I got good coverage with just a towel. Being able to fully wrap my hand around the spokes and poke into the small areas with gloves might finally do the trick. I can see...

How is Beads performing? I've been thinking about getting a spray on rinse off sealant my wheels since applying normal sealants to basket weave style wheels is a real pain.

Yeah...I should have thought about doing that. Lesson learned.

There's been at least a couple of inches (to a couple of feet) of snow on the ground since December here with not a single day above freezing until the last week or so. That's meant my poor car hasn't been washed in sometime in November. Close to 90% of the snow has melted and it looks to be in...

I'm with you on not wanting to support THOR, and I'm certainly not going to buy $125 of stuff to get free shipping. $15 shipping on a $30 item is also a huge deterrent on buying from them. I know shipping isn't as cheap as it used to be but that's just excessive.

I have a bottle of Overcoat 3.0 or 3.1 that I've barely used. Assuming it hasn't gone off it could make for an interesting comparison. Add in Polish Angel High Gloss (also about 3 years old) and ADS Ceramic Spray Sealant to make it four. I've got four doors and a car that's going to need a top...

Maybe I'm a sucker but I kind of want to try some of the Katiba products. The hydrophobics of Signature Wax look super impressive.

Carpro Clarify is my usual go to, but Angelwax Vision is great if I need to really clean off grime, grease, or cut through something Clarify can't deal with. I Also really like Labocosmetica Nitido is great above 40F (It does not work for me at all cleaning my windows in the colder/winter...

I should use my High Gloss again this year. It doesn't have the durability of the current generation of products, but it's very nice to use, looks great, and has phenomenal hydrophobics. I also have a bottle of Kamikaze Overcoat that's about 5 years old. I wonder if it's still good anymore...

I used Quick Body once and while it looked good the hydrophobics were exceedingly mediocre. I think it may have also reacted poorly with the 22PLE HPC coating I had applied a few months prior. A few months later, after a pretty mild Upstate NY winter, the coating was severely degraded. Whether...
