Here's my take on this. I do not wash/detail for a living, just my vehicles and some friends/family, so take my comment with a grain of salt. I bought the Montana Brush many years ago from AG to use on my Yukon. It was a work DD and white and the paint was reasonably hard. If I was super gentle...

BSoares - thanks for the info. I have a sample of Correcting Cream so I'll give it a try. Sometimes I can cheat a bit with certain compounds ( like D300 and certain pads ) and get away with it.

Thanks for the video, Joe. For lighter colored DD's, does this finish down well enough to use as a quick 1-step if you use an orange or blue HDO pad?

thanks for the detailed response. And great idea with the velcro strips. that sure would speed up the process. I take it the final rinse in N914 doesn't leave residue in the pad?

fly07sti -What method do you use to wash your pads when you have a large amount to clean at one time?

Mine wasn't waived but I didn't push too hard as it was before Coach Steve posted they could waive it and I didn't know if was a real option. I plan to contact them in December and ask them to return it.

very nice setup! I have the exact same gun with a 50" foot hose on my Sun Joe. Greatly improves the functionality of it. Do you have any issues with stepping down to 2.0 orifice? Just wondering if it makes the pump strain. BTW, the yellow 15 degree Sun Joe nozzle has a narrower fan than the...

I had the exact same thought as you but let me tell you why you should consider the larger tank ( 14' vs 10' ). 1. larger tank has roughly 2.5x resin of the 10" tank 2. larger tank is only $25 more so resin unit cost is much less 3. you're paying the same monthly rental for either one. 4...

Duy - feel free to PM me if you ever want to hear how I'm configuring mine. It's really going to remove the mental barrier associated formerly associated with dragging the PW out and setting it up for a quick wash.

I would love to get my hands on one of these and review it. I have been using a leaf blower but it's pretty underpowered.

Hey Steve! - thanks for that tip, I'll try it this weekend. I don't do this professionally so no customers to impress ( except friends and family who beg me to occasionally wash/detail their car!) I had to get over the perceived cost factor of incorporating DI water into routine. I'm a business...

It works great with a a pressure washer. I just got my Puretec tank set up over the weekend. What a game changer! It was actually enjoyable/relaxing to wash my wife's black car on Saturday. No foot race to dry it before the water spots dried. I'm in the process of re-configuring my PW set up...

So do you have a jumper hose with a QD, or do you have to unroll the whole hose and then connect to your PW? Or, is there a way to partial unroll it but then be able to partially unwind the end that connects to the PW? Hope that make sense. Either way, looks like a good way to be able to access...

Mike- How many section passes do you usually make with this method? I reread your posts a few times and didn't see that so apologies in advance if you already stated that somewhere. Thanks again for a great post. Very informative.

Here's what he is referring to. I used it when my wife's black car had a respray. cleaned up the swirls and left a little bit of protection. Meguiars M305 Ultra Finishing Durable Glaze 16 oz.

I had the same problem when I had my white Yukon. One tip I learned was when I would get to the point where I thought my applicator was out of 845 I would simply rub it on one of the windows where it shows up easily if you still have product on it. In my case, even when I thought my applicator...

That's an incredible save. Very impressive work! What pad did you use with the BF 1 step?

Looks great, Paul!!( as do all your jobs ). A large, black SUV....that's a serious amount of real estate to tackle! But they sure do look great when they are cleaned up and detailed properly.

And it looks like your cat was interested in the results as well......:laughing:

Very nice job, Pan! A bit off topic, but are those Bose Headphones? I'm looking for something that is sound deadening but will allow me to listen to my music as well and still be durable enough to use while detailing/maintaining my vehicles. You can PM if you like so I don't derail your thread...
