    What is the most powerful/effective soap for foam cannons?

    I was looking to order some of this actually, but cannot find a US-based website to order from. Every place I looked at is in the UK and would end up charging about 3 times product cost just for shipping. Might I ask where you ordered from? PM me directly as I'm guessing it might violate forum...

    Can you layer Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Paint Coating?

    I apologize, didn't realize I was reviving such an old thread. I'd be curious to know from the OP how the coating is doing now, almost 6 months later.

    Can you layer Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Paint Coating?

    There has to be some other explanation, you shouldn't have to re-apply even a mist of the surface coating. How confident are you in your original application process? The slickness of the product will subside eventually as the coating starts to accumulate grime from the elements and such, but...

    Can't get glass 100% spotless

    Unfortunately, I don't own a detailing business so at most I have maybe 3-4 towels I'd use on glass, and I can't justify running a machine load for just 3-4 towels. Guess I'm just doomed, haha. I appreciate the advice though. I'll have to deal with the lint for now, I suppose.

    Can't get glass 100% spotless

    Well, coming back home this morning, I realized I forgot to clean my rear-view mirror yesterday. So after I parked in the garage I grabbed the microfiber towel I used on glass yesterday and gave a spray of Meguiars glass cleaner and wiped it down. Left some hairs/lint. Re-sprayed and re-wiped...

    Can't get glass 100% spotless

    Is the issue more-so the towel rather than the spray? Say I bought this towel, and washed it amongst my other towels, would I have the subsequent issue of "linting" because it has been mixed among my other supposedly "lint-full" towels? Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of throwing 1 or 2...

    Can't get glass 100% spotless

    Maybe it's just the OCD in me, but for some reason I cannot for the life of me get glass 100% spotless, streak-free, lint-free, even with various products that claim so. I've tried DP Krystal Vision, Stoners, Meguiars. I'm using freshly washed microfiber towels. I've tried the really low nap...

    Can't get rid of this stubborn grime

    From their site product description it lists "wash and gloss" as wax/sealant safe: Chemical Guys CWS_301_16 - Citrus Wash & Gloss Concentrated Car Wash (16 oz) I couldn't find the "citrus red" product to see how they categorize it, but the only soap I could find where they specifically list as...

    Can't get rid of this stubborn grime

    It seems to be the same product as this, which is the one I purchased. However, product descriptions differ between both sites. Obviously I would err to trust the manufacturer's site, so I guess that solves that. Not sure why the former website would misconstrue such information.

    Can't get rid of this stubborn grime

    I wholeheartedly agree. However, I performed a foam cannon "pre-soak" for the purpose of loosening up any dirt and grime on the paint prior to performing a conventional 2 bucket wash as I mentioned in my OP. I had done so per recommendation of forum member swanicyouth in hopes of decreasing the...

    Can't get rid of this stubborn grime

    Yeah I experienced this same poor sprayer effect with the P21S gel wheel cleaner, I need to find a replacement for that bottle. Thanks for the heads up!

    Can't get rid of this stubborn grime

    I've been meaning try get some P21S total auto wash, heard good things with respect to degreasing. Though I'd likely use it mostly for heavy build up type stuff, are you supposed to use it as a car wash? It comes in a spray bottle and the name seems misleading like its a car wash soap almost.

    Can't get rid of this stubborn grime

    I polished and coated my car about 3 weeks ago, so the paint has been maintained fairly well since then, I don't think I've given the runoff enough time to burn into the paint. Subsequently I just went into the garage to experiment a little bit to see if I could get it off other ways. First...

    Can't get rid of this stubborn grime

    I'll have to try some APC then. I'm just surprised wash and clear didn't break it up enough where I can't even wash it off during my 2 bucket wash after a foam pre-soak. This stuff is supposed to "clear" paint of wax and stuff to prep for polishing? Ha, I can hardly see how that would ever...

    Can't get rid of this stubborn grime

    Finally bought an electric pressure washer and foam cannon (AR Blue Clean AR112 + AR Foam Cannon). I was excited to say the least. My wash method was as follows: -foam entire car with CG wash and clear (about 2 oz the rest filled up with water to 32 oz) -rinse with pressure washer -2 bucket...

    My technique concerning the 3401, Menzerna products, and Hybrid pads

    For those of us who own nothing more than a GG 6" DA, would there be similar effectiveness using the hybrid pads and your technique? Or would one have better luck with say the hydro-tech pads (keeping the polishes mentioned here the same FG400/SF4000). I own the LC flat pads and have recently...

    What is the most powerful/effective soap for foam cannons?

    I appreciate all the input. Though, I wasn't looking for a miracle soap to offer a touchless wash, just the strongest (or a few of the stronger) soap that will remove the most contaminants per dwell time compared to another soap. Also, I'm not looking to dull any trim so I don't think I'll be...

    What is the most powerful/effective soap for foam cannons?

    I purchased my first power washer/foam cannon combo Im the MAN, and was wondering what your experiences have been with different soaps. I've heard good things about the DP Extreme Foam with regards to the amount of foam produced. However, I'm looking to see if there are any soaps more powerful...

    Opti Coat 2.0 vs PBL paint coating?

    Between the two, would you say one offers superior protection? Over the past months/years that I've lurked on this forum, I've seen the paint coatings explode, and personally I ended up trying the PBL paint coating. It seems, though, that as new coatings come and go that most people still...
