So excited to try this stuff! Citrus wash and gloss, pad cleaner, butter wet wax, hex logic pads and this blower.

Remember on Men In Black when K have will smith the "noise cricket?" he looked at it like "what? This tiny little thing?" remember when he fired it? Yeah that's this blower. Destroys my giant shop vac exhaust and my leaf blower. Truly amazing.

Nice order there! Let us know what you think about those Hex-Logic pads compared to other pads you may have used.
 
Their jetspeed blower is amazing for a small sized machine!!

Ok just used the wash and gloss. Very very concentrated. This gallon will last a LONG time. Very effective. Has no scent. Rinses clean with no residue. Very happy. The butter wet wax is everything you want in a liquid. Easy on easy off. Glossy and nice scent. Durability is unknown. I plan to just use this for quick washes and waxes. first time using a foam clay bar. Very nice! But dunk it in water to clean often! Where as regular clay absorbs contaminants this one traps them. I would t want to mar the surface. Blower is phenomenal.
 
Im too confuse on their washes.... There are just way too many... and idk which one strips off the old wax, and which one wont strip the wax..
So im going to order some glossworkz soon for weekly car washes.
 
Glossworkz is my favorite CG car wash. You can really feel the lubricity and it doesn't foam as much as other washes which makes it easier to rinse in the rinse bucket (rinse bucket doesn't get filled with foam). Its NOT for those who don't want a gloss enhanced car wash because this stuff REALLY amps up the gloss.
 
I have the same Makita blower in 18V (cordless). It's an excellent tool for drying cars, repelling dust from compounds (M105), and many other uses.

I was thinking of getting the cordless Makita myself! :) How do you rate it's use on one charge? Is it light enough for easy use around the vehicle? Thanks!!!

where did u find that blower? what kind of mph does it blow? I have an electric one but. doesnt seem to have enough power . I'd rather have a good Cordless one that I can take with me to wash bay . I live in apartment so I can't wash there . I don't care to towel dry all the time or even rinseless wash all the time . I prefer the traditional wash.
 
Citrus W&G is super concentrated. The gallon will last you over 750 washes. I think you'll really like the orange Hex pad. It is very durable.

The blower is truly awesome. It is even smaller than what the picture depicts. More like an oversize hair dryer.
 
Hex pads are actually pretty good! I'm not sure how much the design of it really does help with what it says, but the foam itself is very high quality!
 
Very happy with the hex pads so far. I also liked buff and shine. really trying to get away from LC. I have some sonus pads from 6 years ago that are still going strong. Can't say that for ANY LC pads.

Anyway about the blower. It rules.
 
The blower is great for cracks and crevices, but does not have the power to efficiently dry a car.

mark , u talking about the makita 18v cordless right? I'll take u word on it . u just saved me $300 .
 
I'd love the metro . I can't get home quick enough from wash bay without waterspots forming . the makita only puts out at 179 mph , not sure if that is enough to blow dry efficiently ? at high battery only last like 12 mins . so blower, 2 batteries and charger is $300 .

179 mph of unheated air doesn't do so well. I have a leaf blower that is 230 mph iirc and it doesn't do that great. I still prefer towel drying. The MB has the advantage because it is filtered and heated air.
 
ok thanks. I'll pass on the makita be a waste of $300 . back to towel drying then . metro will come along when I get a house then again .
 
The blower cost $90 and has plenty of power in 18 Volt version.

On well detailed/waxed car it blows the water out as it should .. It's an easy task then to wipe off a bit of water left afterwards.
 
yes blower is 90 . it does not even come with a battery or charger. no matter where u find it . the $300 quote was for blower, charger and 2 batteries . from elsewhere . does anyone have this particular blower? how well does it work .
