    Hand held jet blowers

    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...

    New foam cannon shoots narrow jet like stream

    I am embarrassed. Please disregard the above question. It seems that the new foam cannon has a very small window to get a wide spray spread. I was adjusting the tip with no feedback. Once I decided to adjust it almost all the way did I get the fan spray. And it has only a few degrees of turn...

    New foam cannon shoots narrow jet like stream

    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...

    Cleaning brown tires

    Success. The 3D degreaser was waiting at my door when I got home from work today. Sprayed the degreaser on the tire, agitated with the brush, resprayed the tire and wheel, and rinsed off with the pressure washer. No more brown. I used a full 16 oz bottle of the Adams and was left with brown...

    Cleaning brown tires

    Thanks all. So I found a product called 3D Yellow Degreaser. Bought it and it should be here tomorrow. It got amazing reviews. If that doesn't work I will try the Tarminator. Don

    Cleaning brown tires

    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...

    Tire shine

    John U posted a picture of an applicator sponge that I had many many years ago. Forgot about those. Just ordered some off Amazon. These should get the job done right Don

    Tire shine

    Well I took your advice and bought some stuff. Purchased the Griot's Garage ceramic tire dressing and a flagged tipped brush. WOW. The brush was the ticket man. That went fast. But now I need a precision applicator for the area of the tire that meets the wheel. I used a round microfiber wax...

    Tire shine

    I bought a 5 piece detail brush set about a year ago. I only am using one so I have 4 laying around. Next time I use the gel maybe I will use one of the brushes and see how it goes. Thanks for the tips Don

    Tire shine

    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...

    What motion do you use when you clay?

    I always go in a straight line while dragging my thumb on the surface. The thumb drag gives constant immediate feedback. Something I have always done Don

    Is More Foam and Soap Better? Meguiars Gold Class in the MTM Hydro Foam Cannon

    Has anyone ever done a comparison? Foam cannon vs just pressure washer with no soap? My guess would be that the results will be closer than expected. Don

    OEM glass coating

    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...

    Cleaning compound and wax off of trim

    I am an autogeek but my wife doesn't know that. For my birthday she bought me products from a different source. One of those products was this. I had gotten some WGDGPS on my pebble grained rear bumper and tried everything to get it off. IPA, bug and tar remover, WD40, PB Blaster, APC, etc. So I...
