Awesome thank you! That helps! I really like how this stuff smells and is so gentle on the paint. I want to try it in my foam cannon when the weather warms ups. -Nigel

Old thread but wanted to ask about dilution ratio. I just picked up this soap and really like it. The video in the first said to do a dilution ratio of 128:1. So about 4oz to a 5 gallon bucket. Just wanted to make sure that was correct. There is nothing stating how much to put in on the...

Appreciate all the info everyone. Such a shame. Have an appointment next Saturday at an authorized MB collision center. I guess that's the way to go. Could have been worse I guess right... tire flying through the windshield...etc. I think the PDR guy is still wanting to try it so worst case...

I try and take care of all of our cars. I have a 2009 E350 that's mint. Paint pretty much perfect. It was perfect until yesterday when a dump truck/tractor trailer passed me and then 4 cars up magically kicked up or something flew out from under it/over it. It cracked the windshield but what...

Need some help with some type of good water repellent for my wife's fabric convertible top on her Solara. I've tried Raggtop and that was ok. The latest being 303 (which I normally LOVE 303 products btw). Did the cleaning and application per the instructions. It was great. Repealed the...

That's crazy expensive...wow. Plus it looks cumbersome that it has to be attached to me plus a hose...etc. After reading the reviews it looks like you'd have to take the ziptie/clamp off each time one wants to change the tip. That would get annoying to me after the third time doing it. I...

I use dawn only because it does tend to cut through the crap that is on the car before a detail. I don' t normally use it to strip anything off the car as I've found what you stated it doesn't do that great. But, it's good soap that doesn't destroy my hands and is cheap and can be had...

Cool so I have been doing it the right way all this time. I have just add a couple more extra steps that aren't 100% necessary, right? :-) -Nigel

I use a troybuilt leaf blower. Picked it up from Lowes a couple years ago for $39-45, something along the lines of that. It's ONLY used to dry cars/vehicles. All yard work is normally done by Echo gas powered stuff. Noise isn't a concern to me since I wear earplugs. This is probably the...

Thanks Mike for the information. I only do the second wash to get the clar bar residue and lubricant off the car before paint correction begins. Plus gives me a second chance to make sure the car is 100% clean. It is a tad overkill but gives me an excuse to use my foam cannon and pressure...

I really enjoy detailing. I started out years ago with a PC as I'm sure a lot of people have. Now I have a Flex (still got the PC). It's a world of difference using the Flex... However I have more of a general question as I'm second guessing how I've been doing things. Normally my process...

OLD thread I know... but I'm running low on my Diamondite headlight kit... Just went to autogeek and noticed they don't sell this anymore??? Why? Anyone know where to get it... or is there a better kit out there? I have had ZERO issues using this kit, it just works 100% of the time. -Nigel

Older thread but figured I'd ask since I just got an email from AG about this coating and it has me interested now... My normal procedure when detailing our cars would be, wash, clay, wash, inspect paint and do whatever corrective actions needed, then polish, seal, wax.. With this product is...

Forgot to update. So I used the Poorboys pro Polish that Chris sent me. Did the trick. Pad was red afterwards...lol But at least the car isn't. I used natty's white on the STi and it came out looking awesome. Looks like the natty's red is going to be exclusively with the red 675..lol...

So I got the little homelite $32 electric leaf blower from lowes... dried the car so AWESOME!!!!! Beyond expectations honestly. I didn't have to touch the paint at all as far as drying anything off. Not even the glass. I wish I would have done this years ago. I'm now trying to limit as much...

I am starting to get the 1 gallon jugs of product for my personal use. Which look like these: I am on usplastic's website and saw the following: Dispensing Pumps | U.S. Plastic Corp. They have thread size from: 38/400 28/400 24/410 Just wondering what the standard is? I have 3 jugs...

Good points about the pressure washer being gas/electric. I HAD a gas one before but honestly I purchased a smaller electric one at Costco simply for the fact of washing cars... that's it. Has no other purpose that to use the foam cannon. Plus I didn't want run a gas powered pressure washer...

I am using my mtm foam cannon for the 2nd time and have the CH Maxi suds II... I used about 4oz last time in the smaller bottle... I see dilution ratios for when you are using GALLONS and washing it with a bucket but how does one figure out just how much to put into the smaller bottom of a...

Thanks Mike for answering my question. I love my orginal pc7424, and when I bought it from yall I was amazed at what it did to my paint... I still use it now and really don't have any issues with it. I'm thinking abuot getting 5.5 pads as recommended here, when I bought the kit it came with...

I've always tried to detail the car properly. I have clay barred the car many times and always had good success. I never really sealed the car. My process was the following: Prior to coming to this forum: Wash, wax, enjoy: All purchased from the local store. Little reading on this forum...
