    Yes, 20's would definitely help..........



    I probably should have gone with 20's for my new wheels but I wanted to keep the OEM look.

    The Performance Pack calipers are huge but I would not trade their stopping ability!

    As for the CR systems I think most use just to rinse. Not wash and foam cannon.

    I think your right to just go for a full fledge softener.

    Look up articles on how hard water dries out skin and bad for your hair. Maybe that would sway her.

    Yes cannon flow was maxed out, I did order a different orifice to try on the pressure washer I have read that can help with foam consistency.

    Oh yes I told her about hair and skin loving soft water. I never had a dry scalp until I moved out of my parents, have been fighting with it since. Which is bad cause I wear a lot of black metal T-shirts lol.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    I spent more money today. Somehow justified another wax purchase due to the 35% off deal. I swear I always saw a better deal a few days ago and just missed a lower price...oh well. Added a 3oz of Fuzion paste wax and Fuzion spray wax to maintain. So I'll soon have the following not yet used to play around with...

    Fuzion waxes
    Pinnacle Signature Series II
    Dodo Blue and Rainforest
    Dodo Hard Candy

    I also have the Optimum spray wax sitting around as well (not yet used) that somehow got shuffled to the back.

    Damn you Amazon easy pay What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    No pics as was trying to get wash done before rain. Will put some up of finish product tomorrow.

    I did take pics of Bilt Hamber AutoFoam doing it’s thing. Used on Color cars before but did not notice how much grime this actually removed.

    Sprayed with IK foam 12 and let dwell 5+ minutes.

    Before:

    Before:



    After:



    Showed rear because spot is notorious for collecting everything thrown at this car.

    People debate prewash and even BHAF peeps speak of it removing LsP’s.

    Most paint damage happens from washing/drying so BH explains this as one of the most important steps as it remove a majority of things that might damage your paint before making contact. To work so well it is alkaline in nature.

    Ph neutral doesn’t remove much of this stuff but is safe for your LSP.

    Forensic detailing asks would you rather remove paint damaging dirt and grime and protect your paint or be safe for LSP’s and eventually replace
    Your paint….

    What a crazy coincidence… Speaking of the best lawyer in the world, look what I’m watching as I read your comment. Lol.



    Why am I watching this? I watch Jonnie Cochrans closing argument every once in a while. It’s a world class delivery executed to near perfection, and IMO truly inspirational.

    The fact he did it live with millions of people watching with no 2nd takes or breaks or even much need for notes makes it even more impressive.
