    Keeping the car 'clean' in the winter

    I see you're from EGV; was born at Alexian Brothers Hospital over there and grew up in EGV. Anyways...The weather here in Illinois is so annoying and even if it stays nice for a few days the salt dust is everywhere and immediately coats your car; especially your windshield. :( This is all...

    MF Bins

    Yeah I could do that. I'm not sure I would be comfortable getting used beat up totes and I don't know why I feel that way. :laughing: For only $6 I will probably head to Costco today and see if I can hunt some down.

    Keeping the car 'clean' in the winter

    Trying to keep the car clean during the winter is not fun at all... However, I like to bring my car to a 'coin operated' place and do this: 1. Spray undercarriage with water 2. Spray undercarriage with their soap mix 3. Rinse whole car off with WATER ONLY 4. Rinse down undercarriage 5...

    MF Bins

    Glass, utility (towels that don't touch my paint), drying, terry, interior towels (short nap), rinse-less wash towels/waterless wash, detail spray/polish wipe down/wax buffing (basically all the higher gsm towels not used for rinse-less washes) And I think that's it. Edit: Swanicyouth; you got...

    Rinseless wash users. How do you clean your wheels?

    I will sometimes use the same routine with the rinse less wash as I do on the paint... ...but I usually use my steam cleaner.

    Those types of threads seem to always end with: Use what you want to use and use what YOU like best.

    Adams Paint Correcting Polish

    Phil at DD still prefers Menz FG400 and Sonax PF over their new polishes. I haven't used the new system, but their 3 step was absolutely terrible. Edit: I should say that their old FMP I thought finished nicely and wiped off easy.

    Wheel cleaner vs just soap & water?

    With my cars and any car I touch through out the year, I like to use a ferrous fighting wheel cleaner at least 1-2 times every 6 months. I like to think of it as a decontamination step for wheels like I would paint on a car. When I'm not using a wheel cleaner I use soap and water or a steam...

    Costco microfiber towels?

    I never doubted that you know your craft. Pics look excellent. *Responded on my phone will try to proofread. What a pain. -Quick story: My buddy doesn't really care about the appearance of his paint (gray SUV), but he likes protecting the paint (clay, wax). I am in the middle of helping him...

    Costco microfiber towels?

    Marring on a solid base coat has nothing to do with it being softer than metallic base coats. It's simply the fact that it's hidden better by metallic base coats. Besides that's quite a generalization given the fact that manufactures sometimes use different clear coats at different locations...

    How good is this? BISSELL Little Green ProHeat ?

    Yeah, don't spend the $250+ then. Not sure how to combat your issue with some sort of machine, but I always pick up with hand (gloved of course), then vacuum any remaining tiny pieces, then spot treat it with spray, disinfectant and the machine. Doubt this machine would help you with your...

    How good is this? BISSELL Little Green ProHeat ?

    Yeah, like the person above said; I always clean up the puke by hand first. The woman's dogs will puke from time to time and sometimes it dries because we don't see it. Once we pick at it to pick it up, this Bissell annihilates any staining deep in carpet. Also, My parents had an issue with...

    How good is this? BISSELL Little Green ProHeat ?

    I have the 'Bissell Deep Clean Pet Lift Off' and the lift off pod looks exactly like that. *This is an upright cleaner for around the house, but as the lift off capability. (No brainer for me since it can be used around the house and for cars) I'm not sure if the specs are the same (although...

    How good is this? BISSELL Little Green ProHeat ?

    Yeah false alarm on the specific model "Pro-heat". My apologies; I got a pre-Black Friday Target add in the mail and saw it, but didn't look closely. Regardless, if you want look on Targets webiste for their Black Friday add; it's on a page with other home items. I use my 'lift off' from my...

    Car pro eraser?

    I want to add that IMO: The way a car dries without a LSP is dramatically different than a car with a LSP. This goes for both using a towel to dry or using compressed air. This could just be in my head, but it's definitely worth testing it for your own purposes to see if you notice what I do...

    Meguiars APC+ discontinued?

    I read a month ago or so that it is going to be discontinued. ...thought it was because it wasn't selling that much.
