Another vote for white vinegar in the fabric softener dispenser plus second rinse. I've been doing it that way for a while and never seem to have any issues with any soap residue. Very hard water here and I have used this method on both old (non-HE) and my new HE machine (normal...

I've had an AR383 for a few years now. I use it every time I do a 2BM to get all the heavy dirt/grit off before I start my wash. Have also used it to PW the deck and concrete and it works very well for both those uses. Easy to find individual parts online also, either from Blue Clean or...

Same. It is my final step after every wash, whether 2BM or RW. For me it's more about that final step to remove any streaks or water spots I may have left behind after drying (plus the added protection of course). I use BF Synthetic Spray Sealant (FKA WD Polymer Spray). For my cars that don't...

I recently bought the AR foam cannon on Amazon which came with the adapter to fit right into my AR383. Questions for experienced users: 1) What ratio of soap to water do you use in the bottle? I use DG901. First try I used probably 1:2 product:water and the foam was too runny. Should I...

Thanks, I'll look into it

Hi Bob, always good to have your input. AGO does sell Lightning Fast. It does have some protection built in, so I might be able to stop there. I will keep the wetness to a minimum if I try adding on the separate protectant.

I have pretty good luck using a pressure washer. It seems to get the grass out. It just takes time...especially if I haven't given them a good powerwashing in a while. I usually just keep going until I see the water running clear out of the well. The first spring wash is usually the worst...

Just picked up a 2019 Acura RDX A-Spec which has some microsuede through the middle of the seats as well as one trim piece on the dash above the glove box. I've searched and read through here on cleaning/protecting microsuede but no mention of the specific products I have on hand. I also...

Was it maybe in the areas where you overlapped your section? I had a weird thing happen when I did my first coating a couple months ago with Gloss Coat. I just did hood, front fenders, side mirrors and front bumper as I was going a road trip the next day. I finished by noon or so then sat it...

I've only done one coating so far which was Gloss Coat. After 30-60 seconds when most of the product flashed, I wiped with the short nap side of a MFT 530 gsm towel. Soaked in D101 solution a 1:128. Washed as usual and all towels came out fine.

For Honda's I like good ole fashion M105/M205. However, I usually opt for Ultimate Compound over M105. UC/105 on an orange LC pad and M205 on a white LC pad.

I have the foam blocks that look like an I-beam. I use BF tire gel. I have to admit, after each use, I just put the applicator in my wheel/tire drawer, gel side up, and leave it for the next time. I change it out for a new one about once-twice per year. I tried using a ziploc for a while...

Nice! I just brought home a 16 RDX for the wife. Paint is in pretty good shape even though it sat on the dealer lot for a while before we bought it. I've got the interior done and protected and have to find time for the exterior. Thanks for the awesome "preview"!!

Never tried dryer sheets. Any particular brand? video? I've been very happy with the bug and tar sponge that is sold by PBMG. It's branded under some of the in-house brands like Blackfire and Pinnacle.

Mine looks like your new one. No imprint on the back. Had it for about a year now.

I would go with a MF applicator vs. a towel if you are going to do it by hand. You can get them at any local auto parts store. As Don M eluded to, a machine would be better, otherwise you are in for a long day and some sore muscles. :)

I am fortunate in that we have a huge walk in closet on our first floor that is just too big to really use for much. We have a smaller coat closet where we put coats and shoes about 20 feet away. So I get to use this space to store all my detail stuff. I keep my towels in bins in the garage...

You don't want to use tar-x with regular clay either. I learned the hard way on that one. It basically melts.

My fabric top protectant didn't come with a handy dandy spray handle. Ordered a couple months ago. Is this new? :)

Have you tried polishing it? I just did a porsche that was a two-step (base and clear) and I mixed them together 1:1 (Larry K style) and they looked dull after I wetsanded them. Once I polished, they were glossy.
