just because something has been out a long time, doesn’t mean it’s the best or works. While I’m sure there are better, when I use blackfire sealant and let it sit overnight it wipes off like nothing.

Sure, I move from Chicago and you have a class over the border.....I call shenanigans!!

An understanding wife

Bissell little green machine. Not the best, but for the cost a decent starter tool

Though I understand it stinks the barrels get dirty fast, if you never clean them they will get uncleanable. Maybe switch to a different pad that doesn't dust as much?

When I bought my 30', I sold the 10' to help offset the cost. I always find it interesting people buy a $300+ car dryer, and want to cheap out on a hose. It's like spending $400 on a rupes, but buying a $50 leaf blower to dry.

I've got the carnuba mist I still need to try out. Their packaging is fun and spot on!

I spent the extra on the 30' hose from metro, lets me just hang the unit on the wall and go. At the time, reviews of cheaper hoses had people complaining of blowouts and rips from cheap plastic. I've had nothing but good CS from metro so I ponied up the $75 and bought theirs.

On the flip side, if I kept my money separate I'd feel like I have a roommate, not a wife. Why keep it separate anyway, it's all communal. Our paychecks go into the same account, sounds like one of you has money trust issues. Sorry, I'm just saying it like it is.

While the only DA I've used is the porter cable, I would assume they're all pretty much about the same. Porter cable has the pedigree, I can only assume they have a EU version. But really I'd think you'd be good with any one, heck people here do just fine with the harbor freight DA.

I've got some CG I don't mind. While there are cheaper alternatives, I like their clay lube. I haven't tried it yet, but the pete's 53 has a pretty good rep. I've got and used their now discontinued white wax with better results than reviews. I think the CG soaps people say decent things about...

Just drags. But it's nice being able to get all around the car. When it's not in use it hangs on the wall under the unit.

Dodo Juice sells a branded DA. They're based in EU.

metrovac. Do it once, do it right. Get a 30' hose, hang the unit on the wall and you don't have to carry anything around but a hose.

No mention of nattys blue yet?! Might be one of the best smelling waxes

Maybe you guys in LA with your traffic never get to drive fast enough for a glass coating/sealant to work!:laughing: Outside of rainx, the only glass sealant I've tried is Adams. While I'm sure Adams isn't the best, the difference in rain at 30/40mph+ was certainly discernible. If you're just...

I understand the class has value, I've told my wife when we can swing it I'd love to sign up! I just happened to notice after it changed to the tv show branded class, the cost went up $500. I'm not saying $1800 isn't still a value for the class.

Is there any specific reason for the price increase for the class other than now it's branded with a tv show?

Re: Avoid water spots - Fast and simple way I dry my cars Maybe look into investing in one of those pop up canopies? That way you have shade when and where you want it!

My first time doing my car I did a 2 step (menz 400 then 4500) and it probably took me about 9 hours on and off. I found my big time sink mainly was after each section, I would wipe and take out the flashlight to check my work. After every section. As I do it more and get more comfortable and...
