    Thank you so much Crack and Touchless impressed and it goes without saying that when it comes to removing winter muck, my Worx hydroshot doesn't have the power but the power of Touchless....amazingWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Yeah. They're not the most exciting videos. One thought would be to use Griot's directions for surface prep as a basis. They recommend 0.5 oz for the pump up foamer and 2.0 oz for the foaming sprayer. If those end up being the same concentration, that would be ~2.5 oz of Touchless in the foaming sprayer (pretty close to what you thought about using).

    Most people figure it out for 4% PIR, don't they? If so, we're maybe not too far off. Just different concentrations.

    Sorry, is that a question? I used regular Speed Shine since I feel like a product with less "stuff" in it would perform better in near freezing temps -- however, I haven't scientifically tested that theory yet haha.

    Think i’m going back to regular QD’s w/o protection. I add enough LSP’s where I don’t need the extra.

    I'm with you. I'd rather lay down a good base of protection, and then just use QDs as drying aids or for quick wipe downs. I like to have that control and knowledge of exactly what is on the paint.

    Is there any real evidence for the "clogging the paint" theory where too many protectants or too many layers of different chemicals can yield worse results (as far as gloss, slickness, beading, etc.)?

    I think the problem will be not proper PH at Surface Prep dilution. I don’t think BH is as concentrated.

    I know it's not the same thing but Auto-Foam is a 13 pH and Touchless is a 12 pH.

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

    I’ve had my parent’s truck for a little while and so I took some time to give it a much needed vacuuming. My dad really can’t do it anymore so I’m glad I got the chance. And I think I’m going to order them some Weathertechs.

    My parent’s have a wonderful Australian Shepherd which in Australian translates to sheds constantly.

    Nice job on the interior. I’m sure they felt great driving it down the road after a refresh.
