    Rupes x Nike Air Max 90 Shoe

    You can probably send them in for a flate rate of $95 for a complete rebuild, so rest easy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Facebook Detailing group?

    It’s probably one of the most toxic facebook groups I’ve been in. I was in it for a few weeks before I realized there’s very little valuable information posted there. Mostly just people belittling others and arguing over what product is garbage. I remember leaving the group and thinking it’s...

    Optimum Hyper Compound, Intensive Polish, and Hyper Polish Sprayers: Working Alternative Sprayers

    I usually see people on their Facebook group recommending hyper intensive polish over hyper compound, not that I think that’s incredibly helpful input. It’s unfortunate that it seems to clog so often. I believe the standard cream compound on their website, I think it’s called optimum compound...

    Optimum Hyper Compound, Intensive Polish, and Hyper Polish Sprayers: Working Alternative Sprayers

    No experience with any of them, but OPT recommends putting some stainless steel nuts into them to help mix up the abrasives. Could be worth a shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Color Code you microfiber?

    I don’t really color code or strictly set them into different categories. I use my Costco towels for rinseless and waterless washing since they’re kind of the most well worn ones, and I pretty much use my creature edgeless towels for everything else. Polish or wax removal, sometimes rinseless...

    Buy The Obsessed Garage Pressure Washer?

    Is total cleaning power not a combination of pressure and flow? I feel like, and this is how I interpreted his entire series on pressure washers, he isn’t targeting people that clean super dirty cars. For me, just using the 40 degree tip as he recommends is more than sufficient to get...

    Foam sprayer vs regular sprayer

    The only time foam is more beneficial (imo) is when it allows a product to dwell longer than it otherwise would. I’d imagine something like M37 wheel cleaner is to vicious to work great inside the foamer. Thin products tend to work best. I also find it easier to get quicker and more even...

    Foam sprayer vs regular sprayer

    I bought both of them at the same time. I like the foamer for cleaning wheels and tires (I imagine most people that buy it have it for this purpose.) The regular 1.5 is nice, but I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily worth 30 dollars if you’re just looking for something that’ll get the job done. I...

    Buy The Obsessed Garage Pressure Washer?

    I bought one of his greenworks units he tested a little while back. For the price it was basically buying his nice accessory package, and the pressure washer was included. I’ve got nothing but nice things to say about what I got. imo 300 is reasonable for all the things listed there. I’d say go...

    all the detailing product torture test videos on YT - what say you?

    I don’t take them very seriously. I just find them fun to watch. If someone wanted to upload independent lab testing for their durability I’d be interested in that. But even with that, the environment you keep your car in has a bigger impact than anything on the road, imo. My car sits outside...

    NEW 303 tire protectants.

    Interested in this. If I can’t get the OPT tire coating to play nice maybe I’ll try this. Curious about its longevity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    help, do I need a mini DA really?%%%%

    I posted in this thread back in March, and my thoughts really haven’t changed at all. If anything as I’ve used an 8mm throw machine more and more, the urge to buy a forced rotation unit (flex or mille) and just have a nano has gotten even stronger. I wish GG would release an ibrid equivalent (or...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Have you considered using one of those foam polishing cones that goes in a drill? I know people use them with metal polish, but I’ve always wondered if using it with a regular polish would produce satisfactory results on something like gloss black wheels. I can’t imagine it would make them look...

    Who from AG Mods the Facebook Group?

    The AG Facebook group, as far as I can tell, is just inhabited by people that hate chemical guys, people that scoff at anything non rupes, and just your average trolls. It’s probably one of the more toxic detailing groups I was part of. I left it after a week or two, I think. It was a really...

    When is someone considered a Professional Detailer?

    A professional is someone who makes their living detailing. Plenty of people won’t like that simple of an answer, but that is the correct one. Colloquially, maybe people consider professional to have a different meaning. That’s fine. But if someone is making their living detailing, everything...

    car soap before during or after 3-5 gallon of water?

    car soap before during or after 3-5 gallon of water?

    I fill most the way with water, add my soap, stick my pressure washer nozzle in to the water and spray it while kind of moving it around, and then pull it out and spray the water for a second for some sick sudsy action. I don’t really think it matters a ton, that’s just how I do it. Sent from...

    Wax remover?

    Car soap from Walmart. If you buy it make sure you buy a clothespin so you don’t also smell it, as it smells pretty rancid. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
