What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

Tried out the Ryobi with a 3/8 hose, Tutuluck spray gun and Raincovo foam cannon. Overall it’s pretty decent. The spray gun has some hand fatigue from using it. One thing I don’t like about electric pressure washers is the ramp up to full pressure which was noticeable with the foam cannon. The foam cannon foams as good as my high dollar one and it was $29. Maybe better.

I tried Bilt Hamber Touchless, not sure how to do PiR, so I read the directions and it said it’s good for 4-5 washes, so I poured about 1/4 of the bottle in the snow foam cannon. I imagine I put to much because it was foam nation. Then I used GSF for the hand wash and used one of Klasses drying aids.
Car needs major paint work but it looks good for a daily.

In a foam cannon 4-5% PiR can be close to a 50/50 ratio. I shoot for a 45/55 ratio or 9oz Touchless and 11oz Water.

If yours is newer cut touchless I’d personally try 25/75,ratio

So it's been almost a week since I applied Gyeon Q2 Wax and washed it everyday since and I've gotta tell you, as you all know, the glow from caranuba....(as well as other ingredients)

Are you running it through the touchless everyday?

I really like this product, and find its a nice balance of shine

It's got an interesting scent too, I've seen some online saying it smells like coffee, but for me I thought it was a bit like chocolate or maybe hot chocolate.

Apparently I've been doing it wrong because I've been using 3-4 oz for quite some time now

I mean the results are there but maybe because my car doesn't get too dirty and the coating is "very" boosted

Whether it's the 1 gallon in my IK Foam Pro 12 or my Griot's Garage foam gun, it's 3-4 ounces, not doubting you here because you've done the math, I haven't but have just "winged it"

3-4oz to IK foamer is fine. If you add to 100oz water and 4oz touchless you have a 4% PIR.

It gets trickier in foam cannon because of diluting in the bottle and then it dilutes with water in hose. Stick to a 40/60 or50/50 ratio of Touchless in reservoir if using a foam cannon. If you want less pir (2-3%?) maybe try 30/70

I usually go with 3-4 oz to 1 gallon of distilled in the IK Foam Pro 12, kinda hung up on the 3-4 oz thing

Just use 4/5ths of the gallon… get you around3-4% pir

2.56 oz in the Foam Pro 12 for 2% PIR if you want to be exact but 4 oz/gallon is a bit overkill. It’s perfect in a foam gun for a well maintained car though.

I think Klasse has v1

I get a toffee/caramel scent from it.
