    Marolex sprayers

    I've had no issues with my Ergo 1000 sprayer. However, my Foamer 2000 has been nothing but trouble. I've never gotten it to foam anything like I've seen in videos and the pickup tube often slips off. It's possible I'm missing some sort of part in the nozzle but looking at the diagram in the...

    optimum tire coating

    A couple of years ago I had to remove it after I botched the application on new tires. It took many many applications of Optimum TAR remover and thorough scrubbing to get it off. Easily 30-45 minutes per tire. It sucked and I've never attempted to use the coating again just in case I have to go...

    What did you do today non-detailing related?

    Re: Installed some Conti DWS06's on the RedSport On my MK6 GTI I had a few years ago I had the APR Stage 2 Tune with an AWE turbo back. It was quick little thing. However, I grew to absolutely HATE the way the exhaust sounded. It wasn't necessarily too loud, the AWE was fairly mild with...

    Waterless Rim/Tire Cleaner!

    Feynlab Pure Rinseless works great for me as a rinseless wheel and tire cleaner. P&S Absolute is also good but not nearly as strong as Pure Rinseless.

    What product do you use as a drying aid after maintenance washes?

    NV Nova Boost or CarPro ECH20 at 1:20-25. I'd like to try Koch Chemie FSE at some point but I have Labocosmetica Purifica for when I need to deal with mineral build up on coatings every couple of months (if need be). For me a drying aid should not add any additional protection that could mask...

    TSA Travel Screening...checked bag

    I'd also put an Apple Air Tag or Tile Tracker if you're on Android in the bag. I have one in every checked bag whenever I travel.

    DFB's Garage

    Oof, yeah, no. That's still too expensive. You're right that the stitching does look pretty iffy and the lack of a tray for any kind of storage is another point against it.

    DFB's Garage

    I like the look of that stool. If it's under $200 when available in the US I'm going to have to seriously considering buying one. The cheapo $50 Torin stool from Amazon has never been particularly comfortable or stable.

    Bug Remover

    The one from Sonax and their bug sponge works extremely well for me.

    What's everyone's 2023 Summer Order?

    I have Detailed Guardz in all of my buckets and their scrub and pump attachment in my rinse bucket has been a really nice addition. I'll third/fourth/etc at this point how good their tire brush is too. You also can't go wrong with their tire jam eliminator for stopping the pressure washing hose...

    What’s your BRASS RING product?

    Gin. Hard time nailing down my all time favorite but my go to's at the moment are Finger Lakes Distilling Seneca Drums or Crooked Tusker QKA Navy. Two very different gins but both delicious. Suntory Roku is a strong third. For detailing though Carpro Reset comes to mind first. I need to see...

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I finally had the chance to wash my car after 6 rainy weekends in a row and rain pretty much every other day so no point in washing it after work on a weekday. Due to ash/dust from the Canadian wildfires possibly clogging my coating I did a 3PH wash with Labocosmetica Primus and Purifica...

    Failing today

    I'd give 3D one or Scholl S20 Black with Buff and Shine Uro-fiber pads might be a good combination on hard paint. 2-4 slow passes with moderate pressure should do very well.

    Advice on best Glass Coatings/Rain Repellants!

    Angelwax H2GO is another good one. Spray into a microfiber applicator, apply to the windshield in cross hatch or circular patterns, leave for 10-15 minutes, and wipe off. Lasts 6+ months depending on how much rain and/or how often you use your wipers.

    Rinseless Washes - 2022

    I've been very impressed with all of the Labocosmetica products I've tried (Primus, Purifica, and Sidero). They've said themselves that they only release a product if brings something unique in the market, so hopefully their rinseless wash is something special.

    Step Up from HD Polish

    Scholl S20 Black is also good. I had extremely good results paired with Buff and Shine Uro-Fiber pads on hard Mercedes paint and it also finished very nicely with Rupes Yellow pads if I needed to clean up any haze.

    Koch Chemie FSE and Water Spot discussion thread

    Descale and Lift were both very unimpressive for me. They did very little to help bring back hydrophobics to a fairly fresh coating after an upstate NY winter. Labocosmetica's Primus and Purifica were significantly better and actually did revive a good portion of the coating.

    Pure:Est Products

    There has been little to no coverage that I've seen in the US about their products. No idea if any of it good but the packaging sure is gorgeous.

    Rinseless Washes - 2022

    I wonder if Feynlab at a higher dilution ratio could still clean well but be gentler on toppers. Something like upping the dilution to 1:350-500 up from it's usual 1:250.

    Rinseless Washes - 2022

    I'll toss in a recommendation for Feynlab Pure Rinseless. It is deeper cleaning than Absolute and maybe slightly more than N914. I have not used DIY for comparison there but The Guz has. It is worth noting that Pure Rinseless can degrade less chemically resistant toppers/sealants/QD's because...
