    Will a Foam cannon help decrease wash time?

    I was thinking the same thing. Faster wash or Quality wash. Sign me up for quality wash. I foam each time I was any of the vehicles. If I don't have the team and will have to rush, then I will wait until I have quality time. To the OP, an electric PW will help knock off the heavy dirt and...

    Collinite 845 Insulator Wax..my thoughts

    Ironic, like the OP, I thought let me check this stuff out since it's so cheap. I placed an order for it yesterday morning. I will use it on my wife's car, since I will be working her car next, to see how it goes. I mainly use wax for it's protection capabilities and not for shine though -...

    Rupes Bigfoot or Flex 3401 for enthusiast?

    I have 6.5, 5.5 and 4" pads. I will use the 4" pads on the PC and drill attachment where necessary. The 6.5 and 5.5 will be the work horse for my fleet of vehicles 4-5 vehicles. I asked about Ford and Chevy because of your screen name and your signature. How are the Camaros these days? I...

    Rupes Bigfoot or Flex 3401 for enthusiast?

    Thanks 5.0. I ordered the 21 last night. I figured - what the hell, it's only money. I will give a go and see how I like it. I will try the 5" plate, too. I plan to use my existing pads and polishes for now. Thanks again. PS: Are a Ford and Chevy guy?

    Rupes Bigfoot or Flex 3401 for enthusiast?

    Who is B&S?. I don't know all the acronyms around here, yet. Thanks. Do you have this machine? If so, which foam pads are you using with it? I need clarification. Can the LHR15 pad be used on the 21? If so, are you saying that it won't be good to use on the 21? If no go, why? Thanks...Al

    Rupes Bigfoot or Flex 3401 for enthusiast?

    Instead of creating another thread on the same topic, I thought I'd ask my question here, which may also help the OP and others. Question. I too am looking to upgrade from the PC. I've been bouncing between the Flex and Rupes. Here's my concern. I already have an investment in foam pads...

    Microfiber towels for washing and drying...

    My bad. I use the Master Blaster to dry. If anything needs to be touched up, I use detail spray and waffle weave. Now, if I were only using towels, I'd just use waffle weave. Al

    303 windshield washer tablets

    Ok. I saw these on AG and wondering how these work. I did some research and found 2 really old threads from 2008. Commentators stated that these tablets left a film (residue) on the paint once dried. So, do these tablets work and do they still leave a film (residue) on the paint when dried...

    Wheel well

    Mike, fortunately my Sequoia has lots of room between the tire and wheel well, so I can be even lazier in cleaning the wheel well. Not so fortunate with my lowered Cobra.

    Wheel well

    I typically spray tire dressing on the wheel well to make them look black and clean (use some leftover Meguiars hot shine). I hate to see a clean car with a dirty wheel wells. I'm looking for some cheap dressing, preferably in gallon sizes, that I can use for wheel wells because I don't want...

    DA polisher questions for rookie

    Personally, I would not waste my money on a grit guard bucket cleaner thingy. As stated earlier use those funds to stock up on extra pads, which would be money well spent. Here's my pad cleaning method. It takes advantage of your existing bucket and grit guard, but in manual mode. 1. After...
