    Power washer?

    My $.02 is that an electric PW is better for cars while Gas is better for nearly everything else. Since this question is on AGO, I'll list the main points in favor of an electric PW for car washing (I'm a hobbyist): - quieter in general (in my case, this is a big deal b/c it allows me to get the...

    Foam Cannon: Over it

    Pirated the drinking straw from a camelback water bottle and stuck it on the "suction draught tube" barb, screwed the bottle on to the foam cannon... and voila! Thick foam - victory! Thanks to everyone for helping me diagnose the problem - Happy Easter! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Chevrolet pays tribute to Mustang's 50th anniversary

    Respectfully, I am not sure you've classified the typical GT-R buyer correctly. At least, not the ones I see at the Saturday morning car shows around here. They're more "tech guys" than "car guys" - also just my opinion. The AWD cars with the latest tech may be fastest to 60mph, or down the...

    Foam Cannon: Over it

    This thread has certainly turned a corner from helping me diagnose my lackluster foam output (missing suction draught tube!) to discussing the overall merits of foam dwelling and whether time/energy/money can be saved by using a foam cannon/gun rather than simply high pressure water combined...

    Foam Cannon: Over it

    It's possible you'd want a more powerful one for the house and driveway... I've had both gas and electric models. The electrics are nicer for washing cars, but the gas - with their higher psi and gpm ratings work much better for fences/decks/pavement. Just my $.02

    Foam Cannon: Over it

    suction draught tube??? Theres a SUCTION DRAUGHT TUBE?? haha.. I did not realize this until I was checking out zmcgovern45's blog entry over on the DI AAP Blog. :eek::dunno::dig::doh: I think I've identified the problem. Will report back after I secure this tube and try again Thanks everyone...

    Foam Cannon: Over it

    Ok, thanks. I don't think I used too much, and the performance was the same before and after (except the part where it leaked before, that's fixed now)

    Foam Cannon: Over it

    Thanks for the reply. That's the kind of foam action I was hoping for! I didn't try adding 5-6 oz of shampoo (seemed like a lot, considering I ordered a 16oz bottle)... guess I could try it out. Ok, thanks. ~2oz of Shampoo +/- I can try using more product. First I used a 3000psi gas @...

    Foam Cannon: Over it

    No. It just looks like water, but when it lands on something dark like a tinted window, it's got a little white to it.

    Foam Cannon: Over it

    I'm a weekend warrior and I have an interest in having a clean DD for my short commute to work. I spent some time on the forum learning about all the products available, and I've placed a few hundred $$ worth of orders so far. The product I was most excited about was the Auto Geek Foam Cannon...

    P21S gel wheel cleaner nozzle not functioning

    Thanks for the replies... The trigger doesn't return (as if it's got a defective spring mechanism).. The bottle really doesn't work at all. No one else has this issue? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Messed around with Iron-X yesterday

    Right... Just hosed it down and then sprayed it on. I think it's fine to use either way (?) but this is the way I chose to do it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    P21S gel wheel cleaner nozzle not functioning

    Hi all, I opened up the P21S gel wheel cleaner box last night and took the product for its first spin. The nozzle on the sprayer pretty much quit working after the first wheel (would only shoot a stream of gel, no misting at all). Anyone else experienced this issue? Recommendation for a...

    Messed around with Iron-X yesterday

    Thanks Jamesboyy - yeah, funny how your definition of "fun" changes as you get older... I wouldn't expect a college kid to be excited about using $10 worth of putrid-smelling liquid on his paint/wheels just to see some purple streaking!! Yeah, it's pretty wild to watch the clear turn to purple...

    Messed around with Iron-X yesterday

    Hey all, Just thought I'd share a few pictures from yesterday afternoon. I got off work a little earlier than usual and had ~1 hour of daylight to mess around with a couple products. I hadn't used Iron-X before but was anxious to see how contaminated my paint (and especially my wheels) had...
