So I see the videos of these jet blowers online and am amazed and skeptical at the same time. I am talking about the ones that take the Milwaukee, DeWalt or Makita batteries. They claim to spin at 130,000 rpm and show unbelievable results for drying cars. Has anyone on here bought or used one...

Just bought a new Greenworks 2700Pro pressure washer and a new foam cannon (Astroai from Amazon). I also just got in a bottle of Bilt Hammer Touchless. The pressure washer and the Bilt Hammer work amazing. But the foam cannon not so much. No matter how I adjust it I get extremely thick foam but...

So I have Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail tires on my Subaru Outback. They are roughly a year and 7 months old. Tires started browning about 6 months ago and I decided I would get to them eventually. So I bought some Adams tire and rubber cleaner and a Chemical Guys stiff bristle brush. Cleaned the...

Hello all. Long time member but haven't been on here in a while. Have a question and searching really didn't help me much. Ten or so years ago, with regard to tire shine products, there was either easy to apply but short longevity, or harder to apply but longer longevity. I am crossing my...

So my wifes 2013 Kia Optima and my 2015 Mazda 3 have a factory applied coating on the side windows. This stuff lasts and lasts. The wifes car is 2+ years old and it still beads water on the side glass. Does anyone know what the OEM's use? I would love to have this stuff on my windshield and rear...

I have a three filter system. I have one sediment filter and two softener filters. This makes pressure drop quite a bit. I built in a filter bypass so that I can have my normal water pressure. Question. If I fill my wash pail with filtered water and soap, can I wash the entire car at once, then...

I have WGTSR and like it a lot. But I find it doesn't have the right amount of cut all of the time. Does anyone know if the Meguiars UC has more abrasive than the WG? I ask about the Megs because I can source it locally. Don

Foam, microfiber, or wool? I have an assortment of LC foam pads and they are getting a bit tired. I have used wool covers over my pads for nasty work before. I have never used microfiber. So, because I am not a rich man, what would be the best all around pad to use? Don

So when I started doing detailing on my own cars I started with a Porter Cable. Used that for a few years before Hurricane Sandy took it from me. Since money was real tight I replaced it with the Harbor Freight DA. This I still have and it still is going strong but had an itch for an upgrade. So...

So I have a whole house water filter. I also installed a water line in my garage for car washing with two more water filters. Takes out a ton of sediment but I am still spotting if I don't dry the car in time. So I purchased two water softener filters from the store here and they should arrive...

So it seems that Meguiars APC is a favorite around here for interior cleaning. Simple Green seems to be loathed. So does anyone know what exactly is the difference between them? What ingredient does one have over the other that is better or worse? Don

So I bought a new to me 2011 Kia Optima this past Thursday. Previous owner didn't take real good care of the paint so I buffed the scratches out today. While finishing up I found a scratch I missed on the rear bumper. Well I went a little overboard and this is the result So I did the water...

So seven months ago Super storm Sandy ripped through New Jersey and severely damaged my home. Also damaged a whole lot of my stuff. My son and I cleaned up the mess and I took all of my hand tools and power tools to my mother in laws house (where we stayed for the following five months) to clean...

I am on a week vacation from work and will be doing a detail tomorrow. Once I do the micro marring repair and I put on the sealant I will allow it to cure for 12 hours. I have only used one coat in the past and was wondering about additional layers. What are the benefits, if any, of additional...

Well my family and myself were hit hard by Sandy. We lost two foundation walls to our home and we were displaced for 5 months. We are back home and very happy. But I lost a lot of personal items in the storm. Since my basement is my only real storage all of my tools and whatnot are placed there...

Hello all. I have a question. I will be doing a full detail on my car in a few weeks. I have 18" chrome wheels. Once the wheels are clean and shiny I would like to coat them so brake dust doesn't stick to them like glue. Will WGDGPS work as well on a chrome wheel as it does on the paint? If so...

So I have been getting straight line fine scratches on my car whenever I wash it (think straight swirls). I have bought many different mitts thinking they were causing the scratches. then it dawned on me. Where I work it is a dust bowl. The company has a trucking yard that is layered in loose...

I usually use Rain-X on my glass. But it doesn't last very long. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried applying a paint sealant (Like WGDGPS) on their glass and what was the outcome? Don

Had my car repainted. Still has the buffer holograms and some swirls. I just ordered 5.5" flat LC pads and they should arrive Tuesday. I use the Wolfgang twins but just picked up some M205. Without seeing the paint would you guys use the 2 step process of the twins? Maybe just polish with the...

I had my car professionally repainted three weeks ago. I picked the car up this past Thursday and it looks awesome. I need to buff out some holograms and some RIDS but it came out beautifully. Anyway yesterday I received a gift from above. A bird bomb on my trunk lid. I cleaned the crap off as...
