| | | Very nice job as always Justin. When you use Armor Tire Foam on the engine bay do you just spay everything, then wash it down and dry it off? If not what process do you use with the foam on the engine bay? |

| | Great job, Justin! I knew you were going to like Poorboy's Super Slick&Suds!
That car wash is amazing, so slick!
When I was reading your post and saw you were using Yellow pad/PO106FF combo, I thought ouch, this must put a lot of marring into the finish, but it came out just perfect. I bet you really like this stuff.
Good luck, bro.

- Spray engine with degreaser. I use Purple Power full strength. Lightly spray bay with water to sud up degreaser.
- Agitate all areas with a wheel brush. This includes under the hood!
- Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Using a lower powered pressure washer, blast the bay. Pressure washers use 75% air making it safer than a hose.
- Once rinsed, spray bay down with Armor All tire foam. Shut hood and crank vehicle. This is why you do the engine first. OVERSPRAY!
- Let vehicle run for about 15-20 minutes while washing it. I call this the baking process. The heat will evaporate all water and leave a nice matte shine behind.
- Open hoo and wipe down with MF mitt or towel.
Can we get this stickied?
