Personally, I think the features of the two machines would be more important that the pressure. Decent hose and wand for instance. Ease of connecting the water supply. Easy access to the switch. As far as pressure needed, mine is also 2200# pressure and all you really need to do to reduce the...

The only downside I think of is cost. I personally wouldn't be concerned with the possibility of power surges while using my polisher.

It definitely can be done. I do a rinseless wash and use Duragloss Aqua Wax during the drying step. Wash and wax in a very short time. But..... Getting people to accept a rinseless ir waterless wash is going to take some selling. I use them almost exclusively and I know they work, but many...

It appears that the MF linting is much more common than I would have ever imagined. I have MF towels from close to a dozen different sources and have never had the problem. This includes some Cobra Juniors and some 530s. It seems like I may have been lucky. So..... What is the cause for such a...

:props: I think it is a great question. I definitely prefer a matte finish on my tires, but a lot of people do seem to like shiny. My tire store has a note on my account, "No shiny Shat". They spray a shiny dressing on most of the new tires they mount. I had never thought about different...

Gonna have to try this. Do you feel it does a better job than using something like Meguiar's APC+ at 4:1? The main reason I ask is because I have lots of Meg's APC and APC+ and no Dawn Power Dissolver. :)

While I have no experience with ZAIO or Z2/Z8 if I were going to use Zaino as my LSP, I would use the ZAIO. 1. They are formulated to be compatible. 2. The Zaino guys can't blame your prep if for some reason the results are not what you want. :)

I'm with Jopper. It seems like there should be some way to restore textured aluminum to its original appearance. Not polished, but clean and uniform in appearance. This isn't just with alternators. Our vehicles have textured aluminum in several places. Motor mounts, intake manifolds, engine...

All I know covers the only two Collinite products I have used. #845 Insulator wax: Easy to use, looks good, very durable. I own some and would recommend it. #476S: Not so easy to use for me, looks good, very durable. I owned some and gave it away after two tries. I like easy. It might have...

I doubt it. I think Meguiar's discontinued them several years back. :)

I have used paint brushes of various sizes for years to reach those type of places. Anywhere from 1/2" to 3" have a place. They are also handy under the hood. I sometimes cut off about 1/2 of the bristles to have a slightly stiffer brush. I also wrap the metal sleeve with black plastic tape to...

While I seem to use a lot of different wash products, polishes, waxes, sealants at different times, the products I seem to use every job would be: Meguiar's D101 All Purpose Cleaner Meguiar's D120 Glass Cleaner Poorboy's Bold N Bright Tire Cleaner/Dressing They get used whether I'm doing a...

Also, I use cotton terry towels to do the wheels and tires when using either a waterless or rinseless wash. That keeps from ruining a good MF towel on them and I don't own anything but good MF towels. :)

Definitely.:) The wash media mentioned might work for a waterless wash, but you would use a lot of wash mitts by the time you did the entire vehicle. :eek:

A fairly long nap works best for me. Don't skimp on towels during a waterless wash. Turn to a clean area of the towel often and change towels when you run out of clean areas. :) I happen to prefer a 16x24 or 16x27 towel, but 16x16 works fine. Actually, the same towels I use for rinseless...

Read the thread title: Specific MF towel to use with waterless wash? He isn't asking about rinseless washes.

While I haven't had Klasse AIO freeze, I have had a few other products that did. IME if they remix, they seem to work fine. A few products will not remix and seem to end up with a grainy texture. I have been told it has something to do with emulsifiers no longer keeping all the product mixed...

It will be interesting to see if people do wash cars that dirty with a rinseless wash. I have never felt comfortable trying it. When my vehicles have that much crud on them, they get rinsed off at either the DIY spray wash or a touchless drive-thru wash then finished at home with either a...

ONR as a rinseless wash. I wasn't at all impressed with it as a quick detailer. In fairness, I used it at the then recommended 6 oz. per gallon dilution ratio. They now recommend 8 oz. per gallon for a QD and the results might be different. Poli-Seal seems to be a good paint cleaner/prep with...

Just a comment based on my personal experience. Chances are that the only person that will notice a difference is you. That's not to say you are wrong. Just to make a comment. It's your car and how it looks should be your choice. I quit using NXT because of the darkening effect it had on my...
