    Foam Cannon Poor Performance

    Here's a couple videos. The foam looks pretty good coming out of the cannon, but as you can start to see in the 1st video and really see in the 2nd video is that it's too runny to dwel at all. Both videos were taken within a minute of each other. I foamed the car set the cannon down and...

    Foam Cannon Poor Performance

    Thanks. I'll have to try honeydew soap. The thing is that I'm not getting the foam to cling for 5 minutes. By the time I get around the car and set down my foam cannon it's already mostly run off the side of the car. I've seen videos with thick foam and medium foam, but I'm getting...

    Foam Cannon Poor Performance

    I've been watching everyone's foam cannon videos for some time and finally bit the bullet for a pressure washer and foam cannon. I have not been able to get thick foam like I see in the videos though. I originally purchased a Ryobi 1700PSI 1.2GPM electric unit from Home Depot. I filled it up...

    New car protection, clear bra? coating?

    I noticed that. There actually is a small patch of film on the rear fender. I did install some DRT Components mudflaps as soon as I got it home. :)

    New car protection, clear bra? coating?

    I stopped at Hi-Line Window Tint today and saw the Suntek film as well as Xpel. They gave me samples of each and showed me the hood of their van which had 4 different films installed. The fender had Llumar, which was starting to turn yellow. The right was 3M, middle Suntek and Left Xpel. The...

    New car protection, clear bra? coating?

    Sounds like xpel is the favorite. I have 2 quotes for xpel. The first was 630 and the second 450. That's quite a difference in price. I don't think the second place was listed on the xpel website. Is their list exhaustive? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    New car protection, clear bra? coating?

    how does suntek film compare? The shop I spoke with said they have a lift and clean room for installation, wrap the panels and said they have worked with xpel and 3m before, but suntek is better than both. They also recommended I get the rocker panels covered. thoughts?

    New car protection, clear bra? coating?

    Actually the same shop came back and said they could do it for 700 or 1200 and could take 10% off. The place is speed shield. Anyone heard of them? http://locator.xpel.com/clearbra_installers/listings/United_States/New_York/Rochester Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    New car protection, clear bra? coating?

    I got a second quote, this time for expel ultimate. 850 for basic, or 1350 for full hood and full fenders instead of partial. This is significantly more expensive than the quote I got for 3M. I'll have to ask more questions from the installer for my first price quote and go from there.

    New car protection, clear bra? coating?

    I was quoted 400 for 3M clear bra, partial hood, fender tips and bumper. This is the same guy who tinted my previous car and the sunroof on my wife's Forester XT. He works out of his garage, but does pretty good work.

    New car protection, clear bra? coating?

    Thanks. Is $400 a good price for a clear bra? Not a pic of the front, but here is what my car looks like. attached is another pic showing what the front looks like (not my car)

    New car protection, clear bra? coating?

    Hello, I just purchased a new WRX and want to keep it looking nice for some time to come. I was considering a clear bra on the front, but they are pretty expensive. I was also thinking that a good coating should help protect not only the front bumper, but the entire car. It would also be less...

    For Manual Drivers, I thought this was funny!

    My car is a 5 speed manual. The new 14 Forester XT is the first auto we've had that I actually didn't mind not having a manual on. Boost comes early and quickly, and you have power all over the place. The new hd cvt is highly under rated imo. Now, I don't think I'd feel the same way with the...
