    Wheel Well tools of choice ?

    SpeedMaster wheel brush Bilt Hamber Surfex HD at 10:1 (applied with IK Foamer) Side note - I use the same product on the tires and wheels. Have not used a dedicated tire cleaner in years, and I only break out wheel cleaner for ones that are really bad.

    Gyeon Mohs Evo and The Curse of the White Perl

    For me, the hood went relatively flat, and all it took was a quick dwell of Touchless and a rinse and it bounced right back. It sits outside 24/7, and had not been washed in quite a while. Check out the Status Detail video....his experience was a little different (better) than mine....which I...

    Gyeon Mohs Evo and The Curse of the White Perl

    Another MOHS EVO fan here. I watched the Esoterica video, as well as a couple of others, and thought the same thing....it can not possibly be that easy. It was my first coating, and it absolutely is as easy as the videos show. It's been on my truck for 6 months, and I do have a tendency to...

    What are you dilutions for Optimum Power Clean?

    Even though I'm now a BH Surfex HD user, I was formerly an OPC user. I had it at two dilutions....5:1 for lighter duty cleaning tasks, and 3:1 for heavy duty cleaning tasks. I never used it for anything but exterior surfaces, tires, wheels and wheel wells

    Pressure Washer Opinions wanted

    If you were referring to the Active VE-52....they sell the base unit by itself (called the VE-56) on their website for less money than the VE-52

    Traditional paint sealants that smell good?

    I think you nailed it...kind of smells a little like diesel exhaust.....which I do not mind at all. I'd rather have something that smells bad and works great, than the other way around

    First day using Bilt Hamber touchless.

    Did you feel like it did a better job with the saturation/heavy lifting than with a foamer?

    What’s the best APC or the like to clean exterior plastics like bed rail caps? I have spotting it seems and some deep dirt left

    APC's staining plastics typically happens when all of it is not wiped off promptly. I've used Bilt Hamber Surfex HD at 10:1......I've also used CarPro Eraser. The Surfex I foamed on....agitated with a medium brush...and rinsed thoroughly

    Cerakote ceramic sealant coating...

    The reviews I've seen about the ceramic were positive about ease of use, but durability was an issue.

    please help me understand the difference between a wet and dry foam

    the soap does not determine the type of foam...wet or dry....the nozzle that you use in the IK foamer does. I've used the nozzle that produces the wet foam.....and liked that so I did not try the others. If you're using Lift as a pre-soak.....I'm gonna recommend Bilt Hamber Touchless or Bilt...

    Removing stains from asphalt driveway

    Is it the cleaning products or the tire dressing? I've seen the 'eyebrows' on asphalt after using an aerosol dressing......I solved that problem by pulling the vehicle onto pieces of cardboard, if that helps you at all

    What are your opinions regarding Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam?

    It's easy to rack up 249.00 at Clean Garage....I'm just way too cheap to have that much in a single order!!
