    Looks hot and dry you on the leeward side of the island? If you’re taking requests… Sandy Beach (one of my old haunts).

    We are actually on Molokai and yup, we are quite a ways up the mountain on the leeward side so mostly pretty dry but trades and the clouds on the windward side help cool us down a bit

    I actually struggle with high winds more often than not and it can be challenging to finish a washing session outside

    I like Sandy Beach as well

    And then we’ll hate you for showing how warm and beautiful it is in winter. But do it anyway. Please and thank you.

    Link or way to look up compressor? Why didn’t you just want to use your tire inflator?

    What I can surely comment on is the Gloss of Dream Maker, it's noticeableWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing? Most of here are in tune with their paint and I'd be surprises if after using Dream Maker you don't see a difference. I'm surprised it's not offered in a gallon yet, what's the hold upWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Ric, I'm looking forward to your impressions of Dream Maker, especially since your Caddy has a nice color on itWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    After my initial uses, I have had a bit of trouble with streaking and haziness with Dream Maker.

    I roll my eyes when people say they have issues with products streaking, in most cases those issues are due to not following the product instructions. I applied as directed, trying more or less product and even using the pink FTW towels. I'm open to suggestions, mainly because those who do use it, find it easy to apply. And of course gloss enhancement is impressive.

Paint Gloss sounds more interesting. That could probably be used as a waterless wash since it has cleaning abilities.
    I probably wouldn't use Paint Gloss as a Water-less wash as the cleaning ability is only mild.

    Paint Gloss is a simple detail spray, I use it as a drying aid but can also be used for light touch ups (dust) and as a clay lubricant. I actually use it as a "vacuum aid" too, owing to the anti-static properties.

    That could get pretty expensive but then again I've been buying gallons of RW/WW products and making WW for many years now and I'm sure the cost is very little, just sayin'.
