So what is the mainstream method? I also have a gallon of ONR that I could employ if that works better.

I never claimed to know for sure. I just think it makes sense. Pre-soaking is a historic basic principle that applies to many things. There is no way that a hosing down with water has the same effect as soaking with a quality soap, no different then if you quickly water down a dirty dish or...

Why don't you foam? I've never done it yet, but from what I've seen and read I think it's a brilliant way to rid the vehicle of dirt particles, which could otherwise scratch the paint, before applying a wash mitt. Also, it just kind of pre-soaks, loosens and lubricates everything. Seems like a...

Ok, well now I am wondering if I should just keep the Gilmour foam gun I bought, and pass up the more expensive Pressure washer/lance option.

No, I would be using an electric leaf blower. Lol, I hear you man, I have not washed my car all winter (in about 4 months) and people still say it's shiny. And it's a black car and that includes driving it in the snow and with getting salt caked on the car. And yes, I drive my 5.0 in the snow :)

The Opti-coating is supposed to be a lot slicker then regular clear coat and release contaminants much easier. That combined with letting the foam sit and break up the dirt and film, combined with a high pressure rinse won't clean the car? It seemed to work for the guy in this video and I am...

Haha, yeah its my FIRST automatic muscle/sports car, and I've had MANY. I do miss the fun and control of the stick but when I am sitting in Long Island traffic it's a god send! It's also nice off the line too. Gotta be a damn good driver to beat modern auto's in the 1/4.

Thanks man, I appreciate it! here are the details in case anyone cares, it was my first ever new car ordered as I wanted it from the factory: 2012 Mustang GT Premium, black with saddle leather interior, Auto trans which is my first...I got sick of standards in LI traffic. My previous car was a...

Also want to add a few more things... I bombarded Bryan with many questions, and he was fantastic about addressing all of them, even as busy as he is. He did extra's for me like the glass treatment and interior clean-up. And when I dropped the car off it was pretty filthy both in and out. I...

Hey guys, I'm the guy with the mustang. Here's a brief rundown on what took place in the S197 thread.... 1.) I heard about Opti-Coat and was interested so I made a post in detailer section of the forum asking the average cost, while I was seeking out quotes online. Mind you, I had no idea what...
