Wanted to get one myself last time... but i was afraid the material is very flimsy

It seems to be a quality bag. Cloth / synthetic material and handles. It is a "trunk" bag so it is not heavy duty to carry around heavy bottle and products. I am going to use mine for some MF towels, small bottle of FK425, and some UWWP+. So this is perfect for my planed use on trips and such.
 
Its here! Its here! Its here! My first of two orders from the anything goes sale. The second order has my pc7424xp. :buffing:

Can't wait to use it all!
 
very nice first order!. dont give up on the m105 after first use, always prime pad then use 4 pea sized dots on pad. with a DA m105 is cake to use compared to rotary...poli-coat is a very nice sealant and spreads so thin, you wont be using it all for about 10 years with both bottles if your doing this as a hobby!!!. and i love the plastX for the speedometer clusters on cars. I just noticed how small that leather brush is, looks like a tampico nail brush, however they work GREAT for smaller vinyl/leather/hard plastic areas like steering wheels,door panels,arm rests ect. for seats i like something bigger so i use a boars hair bristle hair brush in the ethnic hair care aisle in wal-mart, one side is stiff one side is soft. hope you enjoy using it, i remember my first order containing stuff you cant find local, i was so wowed it almost brought a tear to my eye! lol
 
Just got this order in today.

Wondering where you get those brushes from? Can you please post the link for those brushes? Thanks in advance!!
 
i cannot post a link to competitors website. they are race glaze brushes and were a gift. google blockheadstamps and you will come across some good brushes, also ebay search "airebrush" or google search "marvy stippling brush" best advice i can give you guys. and for you new guys, quoting pictures clutters up a thread especially one like this which is loaded with pictures, so when you quote please edit out the image tags and the image link..it helps keep things neat.

Have you tried the wash pad yet? How does it compare to the MF mitts AG has in stock? Is it thick? I like the idea of the MF pad compared to the mitt.
 
Took advantage of the recent Poorboys sale to try some products
I had used the QD+ and a sampling of "Black Hole"
Then added some Black Onyx to get free shipping.

I wish I would have seen this before I deleted my sent items.

Here are my thoughts....

Two things to keep in mind-1)I have very soft paint and 2) I bought this for the lower panels on the car.

When you dunk the wash pad into the wash bucket it soaks up alot of water and soap. The wash mitt becomes pretty hefty in weight so I try to glide across the panels as light as possible. I'm only using this wash pad on verticle panels, so using it on horizontal panels might induce swirls if you don't use proper methods (i.e. grit guard, downward pressure).

I use the Dodo juice wookies fist for the rest of the car, and since I can stick my hand in the mitt, I raise the mitt alittle when washing horizontal panels.

Back to the GG wash pad...when looking at the wash pad when its dry, it seems the spaces between the MF fingers or dreads are significant, however when wet, they collapse into tight spaces. I feel they fingers collect dirt and grime well and then release them well when scrubbing against the grit guard.

Compared to the Cobra Chenille MF wash mitt AG sells, I feel the quality of both MF's are really soft. The Cobra MF wash mitt beats out the GG wash pad by just alittle bit. However that may be a downfall. Maybe I'm weird for saying this next part, but I feel with it being so soft, it doesn't release dirt and grime as good as the GG wash pad. I definitely wouldn't use the Cobra wash mitt to do an ONR because of this reason (ask me how I know). The good thing about the GG wash pad is its available OTC, but if both of these items were available in the store, I'd go with AG's wash mitt-I'd just have two...one for the upper and one for the lower panels.

I hope this was sufficiant LOL! Maybe too in depth.

How's it going buddy!!! Long time no hear!! I haven't logged in for like 2 weeks. Nice order BTW!! I bet the maxi suds will be used for your foam cannon? Does it really generate a lot of suds? How does it compare to DP extreme foam?

That was a very nice and thorough review! Thanks for sharing it.

Hey Marc! Indeed it has been awhile. I hope all is well. Thanks man...I really liked this order. Sometimes I'll place an order, get it, and then realize that I wasted my money on certain products LOL.

I didn't want to say nothin about the Maxi Suds because I didn't take any pics, but the Maxi Suds worked AWESOME!!! I used about 3 ounces mixed with about 25 ounces of warm water. It was thicker than the DP Extreme Foam. I'm SO glad I got this by the gallon....so glad. I need to get a universal pump for the container though. It was thick shaving cream like foam. I'll take pics next time. Next time I'm going to use 2 ounces.
