    Rinsing with Pressure Washer. Which is best adapter???

    Thanks. That's what I needed to know. I felt like I was blow drying the car with some mist instead of a good rinse. I will look for something with a 4.5 or more orifice size. Thanks!

    Rinsing with Pressure Washer. Which is best adapter???

    Yes, bought the Hydro Cannon sold here. No, I take it off and attach the adapter that came with the washer. I wonder if it would be better to just leave it on and turn off the foam dispenser. I believe you can do that.

    Rinsing with Pressure Washer. Which is best adapter???

    Right, I will take off the Hydro Cannon and put on the soap adapter that comes with it, but that is a very low pressure spray. It was meant to just spray soap solution . I just thought maybe there was another adapter I could buy that allowed more water through it. Like a 50? If I remember...

    Rinsing with Pressure Washer. Which is best adapter???

    2.4 gpm. It got plenty of pressure. Problem is I feel like I have too much air pressure and not enough water coming out on the rinse.

    Rinsing with Pressure Washer. Which is best adapter???

    So I did my first pressure wash and found my rinsing to be a little frustrating. I got a Simpson 300 psi pressure washer that came with 4 adapters. 15,25,40, and "soap". I found myself using the soap adapter since the other 3 had far too much air pressure and not enough water, but the soap...

    Pressure Washer...Which One

    So the MTM works fine with the Cleanforce 1800? I just picked one up at Home Depot and wasn't sure if the MTM would work since it says the minimum requirements are 2 GPM and the Cleanforce is 1.5 GPM. I did pick up a Foam Blaster for $5 since it was there. I didn't see an adapter kit but not...

    Brand New Car. Which of these products (sealants) to use first?

    Great thanks. Sounds like a plan. I don't think of a new paint job needing cleaners, but I hear 105 is a good base protection. I always was wondering which of 105 or 111 would go on 1st.

    Best way to remove Collinite 915 wax??

    Thanks all. I see the two big mistakes I made. I haven't waxed my car in 3 months (please don't kick me off this forum) and put this on first. I will make sure to use it as a finishing wax next time and use my PCXP to spread it thin. Thanks!

    Best way to remove Collinite 915 wax??

    Ok, I have finally popped the lid on a can of Collinite 915 Marque D' Elegance Wax and gave it a try. Instructions say to let it dry to a haze, which I did, but it was a BEAST to remove. I of course waxed my whole car and came back later to remove. Is the best way to do a panel at a time and...

    How do you know when your pad is dead??

    I have never seen a great answer to this one yet. Is there a sure way to know by looking at your pad when it's beyond it's usefulness? For example does an LC orange pad work fine until it starts falling apart or does it slowly lose its cut? Is it just a matter of noticing that the pad is less...

    Thanks. I definitely didn't get that memo in time. I will try again.

    Anyone use Griot's Best in Show wax?

    It was not in direct sun. No claying or polishing recently. I had just done an ONR wash and it has been waxed 2 weeks prior. It was a warm day for sure which may have had something to do with it. I need to polish my doors today so I will attempt to apply this again using Griot's method (DA...

    Anyone use Griot's Best in Show wax?

    I tried Best in Show wax out the other day and used an Auto Glym foam hand pad to apply. I found it dried and hazed way too fast. It was drying as I was applying. Has anyone else had this experience? I realize I put it on too thick as it was also a bear to remove. I think the Auto Glym pad...
