    Review + Pics - CarPro HydroFoam .. Wow!

    It is just so cool to start spraying the car off and suddenly you notice that it's starting to repel water. I love this product. Even better is when you come back the next day after the coating has cured it a bit. Your car feels like glass. It's really amazing. Agreed. I've used it a...

    Conserving Product (Sonax, Iron X, etc)?

    I tried the Iron X snow foam recently. Did my new car with it (about a month old) and my wife's minivan (about a year old) and I didn't get any purple spots at all. I washed the wheels by hand first and did use Sonax on them which did turn purple. I've never clayed either car. So, I was...

    Gloves for washing in cold?

    I really like these gloves for winter washing: SealSkinz Waterproof Gloves - Free Shipping at REI.com They seem to have plastic in between the layers of the glove which keeps your hands dry.

    Greetings from Cape Cod

    The Cape and the islands are so nice just after the season ends. It's much less crowded and nothing is really closed yet.

    Greetings from Cape Cod

    I love going to the Cape. The family and I rented a condo in Brewster for a week this summer and a house in E. Falmouth last summer with some friends. Where on the Cape are you?

    Red, White, and KONA Blue!!! :)

    I was going to ask you if these photos were HDR. In a couple of the pictures, the clouds looked a little blurry. Likely the different exposures didn't line up correctly because the clouds were moving too quickly.

    Hello From Western MA

    Hi Matt! Welcome to AGO. FYI . . . I'm not sure how great this place is or even if it's still around but I've heard in the past there is a detailing school in Holyoke.

    Foam gun ?'s

    I too originally bought a foam gun (hooks to your garden hose) and wasn't too impressed. I returned it and bought a foam cannon (for pressure washers) instead. The big difference is that the foam created by the pressure washer is much thicker and dwells much longer. I tend to give the car a...

    Suggestions for a NSX ?

    I had an S2000 for several years and the paint they use on these cars is SUPER soft. The bad news . . . it's easy to get cob webbing like you're seeing here if you don't wash the car properly. The good news . . . the paint is so soft that it's not too hard to knock those scratches out. I...

    Audi wheel wells

    I have an Infiniti as well. I just pressure wash the heck out of the rear wheel wells after soaking them with some Megs Safe D-Greaser. It's the only thing I've seen that's gets them remotely clean.

    Survey: Leather Cleaner and Conditioner

    :iagree: Couldn't agree more. I hesitated buying a LM kit because of the price, but the results just blow away anything else I've tried over the years. The leather is soft and looks like new when I'm done. Period.

    Finally Got To Use My Flex

    Instead of getting a whole seperate machine to run smaller pads why not just get the 3M quick disconnect adapter. It costs a lot less than a Griot's.

    can I skip the bucket with a foam cannon and PW?

    I use this method (similar to Killr's but a little different): 1. Spray the car down to rinse away any large dirt particles 2. Clean wheels/tires/wheel wells 3. Foam 1/2 the car 4. Use mitt to agitate the foam on the surface of the paint frequently rinsing the mitt in a bucket with a small...

    Optimum Compound II on Navy Blue 09 Mercedes C300

    I just recently tried Optimum Polish II and I'm a big fan. I think the new Optimum polishes are much improved over the old ones.

    For Mike - Principles of Machine Polishing DVD

    That was a GREAT DVD. I believe it also covered polishing by hand.
