    Love this car

    One of my life goals, to own this car by the time I'm 50. (Or at least one very much like it) Saw this beauty at a local car show in my area in Hanover Ontario, Canada. [/IMG]

    The Supreme Guzzler Waffle Weave By Cobra

    I threw one into my last order. I thought it was a little small and got used up quickly, but now that Killerwheels mentions different sizes maybe I can order bigger ones.

    Neighborhood kid doing a neighborhood job -- Opinions?

    You may want to think about investing in a portable carpet cleaning machine to properly clean seats and floors in a car. Upholstery tool and machine and you can launch into the $100 and up market. Expect to spend up to 4 hours on average if you steam clean plus all the other stuff. You can do...

    Is this thing working right?

    We still pre-rinse the car with a powerwasher and then agitate this foam with a soft clean brush, but it will take some getting used to. I think even though the instructions do not recommend it, higher pressure may help to apply the foam better. In all honesty, I'm not happy with the...

    My new Tornador Air foamer HP

    I had the same disappointment with the foam gun too, and it performs just like this vid. I think this gun is strictly designed for interior car use. I just wish they would have said that before I bought the gun.

    Is this thing working right?

    I got my new "snow" gun to try out with car washing. This is the wolfgang "snow gun" I have the exact soap, mixed to the proper dilution. My compressor is set to 100psi when full, and drops into the proper pressure range as soon as you start using it. This thing isnt foaming the car like it...

    A legitimate question!

    We went through a lot of pressure washers cleaning 2+ cars per day, we finally found a reliable one at Rona. Faip 1900psi electric. This unit has outlasted Husky, Simoniz and all the others we have been through COMBINED.

    A legitimate question!

    A few guys here are worried about the cost of buying a pressure washer. They really are not that expensive. There is car wax on this site that costs more than a pressure washer. check out your local Lowe's or Home Depot Dept store or even the hardware store. They start at around $150

    Have you cleaned a dirty car?

    The car in my pics with the blue seat was from a Ford Ranger that is used for "mud bogging" a popular activity in my area. The engine tends to overheat, so he runs the heater with the windows down while plowing through fields and deep puddles on the offroad. :)

    Isopropyl alcohol

    Good luck with the alchohol, pretty fumy, I guess I'm ok with just using Quick Detailer myself but best of luck to those that want to use alchohol. I'll keep it in mind if I have trouble cleaning up paint with QD.

    Your favorite interior protectant?

    Yes I remember this exact thread, I beleive I'm the one that started it lol. Micheal admits here that all of their dressings contain silicone, but I believe it is either much less, or a different formulation because it does not leave the vinyl or rubber greasy and shiny like Armor all would.

    Isopropyl alcohol

    We have left spots when trying to remove pine tar with it. Fortunately we were able to fix the spots, but just barely.

    Your favorite interior protectant?

    Meguiar's vinyl and rubber cleaner/protectant in the beige bottle. I forget the number right now, but it's what we use. Non greasy, great cleaner, best dressing I've ever used. Problem with the supreme shine and all that is it has too much oil/silicone in it designed to make the vinyl shiny...

    Isopropyl alcohol

    Im not convinced on using IPA on paint. Alcohol is a solvent and can dissolve paint. It works great for removing tree sap, but if you are too liberal or not careful it can leave marks in the paint from rubbing too hard. As a carpet cleaner which is my other trade, I use IPA for removing...

    All these cute pics and vids of us "detailers" cleaning cars makes the hardcore, hardworking detailer laugh out loud heartily! I watch vids about car washing. The car they use to demonstrate is already clean! Spotless! Like it's been meticulously detailed for hours! They they are gonna wash...

    A legitimate question!

    In our shop I installed a live reel to the pressure washer right by the door entrance. We park the cars in front of the door to wash before pulling them in the shop. With this setup all I have to do is hook the garden hose that is on a spool to the pressure washer and I'm ready to go. It takes...
