Natural sea sponge.Large Natural Sea Sponge 9/10.

Hold great amount of suds. The sponge have a better scrubbing hability than most mitts. Look like it would last for years. Smell the sea.

But like somes said, be careful with the salt/sand inside the sponge! After 3 use and good rinse, I'm still not confident enought to use it on any dark paint. I use iton my beige alero. I will have to post pictures of the salt and residu I found after letting the sponge sit in 5 gallons of waters.

Meg mf mitts Meguiars Microfiber Wash Mitt 10/10

I only use it 4 times but so far so good and inexpensive.


Exclusive BETA product ! PB Natty's Blue Liquid


Didn't try it yet, but i'm looking forward to it because last year I sold my jar of natty blue to my friend because I thought the RED was nicier. I will have to test it!


AG Sprayer:Autogeek Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer with Double Barrel Extension, pump sprayer with wand, pressuzid spray bottle 8.5/10

I didn't try it long enought to see if it will hold up with acid wheel cleaner and such but it does say it's chemical resistant. So, I just hope it does.

Hold a great amount of liquid. Perfect for scotchguard( you will know if you scotchguard a whole car with a spray bottle LOL) and wheel cleaner and degreaser.

I give it -1 because the extension isn't flexible. it would have been cool with it could.

.5 because it's sligthly pricey I think for a sprayer bottle but how can I complaint when it's free.

3m adhesive remover3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner, bug and tar remover, adhesive remover, tree sap remover 10/10

What can I say? it work wonderful. perfect for sticker and glue.




Grit guard: The Grit Guard Insert - 2 Pack 8/10

It's fun to have 2 differents grit guard for your 2 bucket wash. Customers think you are very professional to even have '' little small thing inside the bucket'' lol. But to be honest, I can't see how it really help. I mean, when I insert my mitts inside the bucket, I agitate the mitts to release the dirt, I can't see how the grit guard would keep the little salt to stay inside the grit guard and not move around with the flow of the water in the bucket.

Durability; that thing will last 10 years !! there's no way it will break. so I guess 2$ a year is pretty cheap for a tools like this. Get it!

Daytona speed brushDaytona Speed Master Wheel Brush, auto detail brush, Wheel Brush, Tire Brush, Detailing Brush, Corvette brush, Mercedes brush, sport wheel brush, 10/10

I had durability issue with my e-z mini brush, this one seems better built and I can clean everything just like my mini brush. The point is that it's very versatile and can go inside really tight area ( like caliper and rims). If only it stay in good shape!

Green tire brush: Tire & Wheel Brushes 5/10

I'm sorry but the bristles are just too ''hard''. They need to be softer. This brush can be OK for engine but if the car have a drop, forget it, the brush will never pass inside to clean the fender. and the problem with the bristle is that I had to clean my face after washing the wheel on a sentra because the degreaser splashed in my face.

I will only use for engine. I might have to try the 30$ boars brush.



California dash duster: The Original California Mini Duster is a mini version of the famous California Duster. The Dash Duster is great for motorcycles. 9/10.

Work great on interior and because it's smaller, it will grab dust better around tight area on your paint but I found I need to complete with a second MF to remove all dust on the car. But it says the more it get dirty, the better it performs. We'll see.



Nitrile glove: Black Nitrile Gloves, Packs of 20 10/10

Work as advertised, price is right, I would suggest you to get a pack of 20 to make sure which size suit you better.


Plastic razor bladeScrapeRite Plastic Razor Blades, Scrape-Rite Razor Blades, Plastic blades 10/10

Simply perfect to remove sticker on windows or drag number written on windows without scratching. For the price, god, please buy them!!

Didn't try it on paint but I guess it work just as good!

interior concours brush: Interior Concours Brush 10/10

Seriously, this brush is awsome, excellent to gives the extra detailing touch to your interior by cleaning dust in crevice and such. I would recommand to get the bigger version for cleaning exterior like lug nut, gas door and badge.



Stoner clean tool Stoner Invisible Glass Reach & Clean Tool 7/10

1) The microfiber are way too tight, I had to ask my GF to help me put it on the tool
2) one of the 3 supplied MF will just NOT FIT. I'm sorry, maybe I got a bad MF, I dunno, but we were 4 hands and couldn't make it fit!
3) the MF look so thin because it's overly strech that it will get wet very easily. Wet MF= streaking.

However, if you manage to put very little CRL Glass cleaner or whatever quality glass cleaner and buff after with a clean glass towel, the windows will look great. This does a very good job at cleaning back-glass and hard to reach windows. It's just the quality of fabrication of the MF should be revised.


AG Foam gun: I would give it a 9/10 because I still haven't found the correct combination to get the maximum soap but so far I really like it. Wish I had a high pressure gun to go with the HP cannon but oh well. For a 60$ foam gun with a garden hose, I'm impress.

Thanks guys! you rock!Im the MAN
