What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

I tried using a Foam Cannon and the old electric pressure washer.

I wish the foam was a little thicker. I probably need more oomph, more HP in pressure washer.

What foam cannon you using and what pressure washer?

It's a good thing you posted this because I got one of the Pro2 sprayers today, and they don't include any information about the difference in the tips, unless I missed it.

The box, the instructions and the Autogeek site say it has a 42 oz. capacity, but as you posted, the sprayer itself shows 50 oz. Do you know the reason for the difference?

When I opened the sprayer it was wet inside, with a very small amount of liquid in the bottom. I don't know if that's normal, and possibly condensation from sitting in the hot UPS truck, but I sent a note to customer service asking about it.

Thanks.

The liquid is probably from testing.... quality control. If bottle is 50 oz then prolly just a typo from AG and IK. Maybe it's 50oz bottle but 42oz liquid max?

Did a bucket wash with Optimum car wash. Dried with PFM and ech20 as drying aid. Been trying less and less sio2 spray in my mix and today just tried ech20. I think 2.5,oz ech20 and 1oz sio2 in 32oz bottle my sweet spot.

Tried Adams 5 fingered chenille MF wheel mitt today. Awesome for getting into the crevices behind the spokes of my wheels. Hydro2 on the wheels.

Couple fresh coats of TAC Tire Coat on the old nitto's

Move the end up to the nozzle of the foamcannon to fan out the foam. And the generic foamcannons useally commes with a 1.25mm orifice in the foamcannon. Get a 1.1mm orifice in it and you will get a little better foam. It seems like you have a little PW so you maybe not getting the thickest shaving cream foam from it. But with a little more foam concentrate and you should be able to cover your cars with foam. It's trying your way to get the sweet spot. I used to set the foamcannon on the highest chemical mix setting on the foamcannon and dilute it properly in the foamcannon bottle. With a more effective PW I use now almost only concentrate straight in the foamcannon bottle and set the chemical mix setting on the foamcannon pretty low. You can calculate out how you should dilute it in the if you measure out how much your PW dilute the foamcannon. It's a little complicated since I use the metric system. But think I could guide you if you want to. PM if you want some help with it.

Just finished up the FNW

I actually did a full on tire, wheels and wheelwell cleaning when I got home from work. Started with Alien Kleen in the wells, Griot's Garage foaming tire cleaner and P&S Brake Buster for the rims, dwell and tires scrubbed and wheels cleaned throught.

Came back down there and did an Ech2o WW, just love this stuff...still My ratio is 7:1 and even though it requires a buff, even at this ratio, the reward is THAT gloss, my God

I posted pics, along with a bit more description of the tire cleaning process, over in the OPT tire coating thread if your interested

Cleaned the car up for a local show Saturday... topped it with a new coating I just got.
It finished super glossy so I'm hoping it lasts.

Gave a coworker (dark grey 2016 Camaro SS 6M, no mufflers) a care package. I gave him an unopened bottle of McKee’s Power Wash, 16 oz. bottle of Optimum Car Wax, McKee’s Road Kill Bug Remover, small bottle of Rain-X and a MF applicator pad.
