I'm slightly jealous in regards to your pressure washer setup. ..... The cling is amazing!
Cheers

i agree about putting one in the rinse bucket... ideally youd put em in both... but i only own one grit gaurd lol

+1, California gelly blade. Very safe on paint and glass and much quicker.

Cool idea with the foaming. I will have to try that.

Thanks. That's some good advise you got there...

I noticed your wipers. They look cool. What kind are they?

thanks in advance

It does fine on my paint.

You need to invest in a leaf blower to help you dry up the engine bay more quickly. Just a tip to possibly save you some time.

I use the leaf blower on the whole entire car, it does take longer, however.

Sick nasty job tho !! Im glad people are taking care of their cars and sharing it with the community, more n00bs need to learn from this.

Anybody else do this

Bishop · 04-18-2008, 04:03 PM

i tried it once, cause i saw this suggestion in another thread..... i dunno if the internals of the leaf blower were dirty (fairly new) or what but it made everything worse! i had to get my sheepskin mitt wet and just wipe down the whole car again to clean it off a little bit.... i think i ended up washing the car again the next day cause i was so annoyed w/ my results....

I have the same setup for the foam but I am unable to get that massive amount of foam out of my setup
