    Husky power washer&foam nozzle/lance at Home Depot

    I just used a "Power-Washer" brand pressure washer to wash my car. First time I tried it on a car. The "foam" nozzle that comes with this brand is useless. It had no pressure and very little foam action. Barely shot foam to the roof of a little Escort. The foam nozzle required removing the wand...

    Husky power washer&foam nozzle/lance at Home Depot

    Husky had a very good reputation for many years. I know the name has now been bought by MTD, the lawn mower company. They have a bad reputation for ruining good products. This is just a FYI post, I have not heard what MTD has done to that brand, if anything. All I have seen is the "user...

    The spots are mostly on the front bumper, some on the front hood and roof. The front bumper has the most spots. On the hood I just noticed that there is a white substance (like mold) on the underside where the spots are on the painted side. The bumper fascia and hood are different materials...

    Spots in paint- need an expert.

    I will be doing the repaint myself. To me it looks like this is in the original paint below this layer. I want to make sure they do not bleed thru to new finish. I can scrub on a spot until it is completely invisible and in 5 minutes it is back as if I never touched it. You can feel these with...

    Backing plate differences?

    I just got this PC used off EBay, the plate that came with it is trash. Afraid it will blow apart and damage my car worse than it is. This paint job is bad enough without me gouging it.

    Backing plate differences?

    My fault, I just got impatient and wanted to try to fix this car. Just wait until my order arrives, if I miss the car show so what, always next year, right?

    Backing plate differences?

    I picked up a new backing plate at Car Quest today when I returned some stuff that was wrong. After putting this 3M Hookit backing plate on my 7424, the hook and loop is backwards. The backing plate has the same part of the fastener material as the pads. My other backing plates have the stiff...

    I just joined here and looking forward to learning a lot. I found out about this site at Autopia. I have been around cars all my life, well over 50 years. Always had to have my ride shiny. Thanks for letting me join here.
