As I mentioned in another thread, my neighbor walked by as I was washing my car with Absolute. He actually complimented the way my car smelled. I've never been complimented on how my car smells until I used Absolute.

I also want to give a shout out for Duragloss 932. This is a rinseless wash that also has some Duragloss Aquawax in it. I recommend it as well.

If I didn't have to use the foam cannon garbage at work, I'd never do a soap wash ever again.

I haven't had car shampoo since 2017.

ONR is my personal choice. Simply, it does what I need it to do, predictably, consistently.

haha i'm trying to be that guy but trying new stuff is fun!

And yeah i'm going to try to sell all my pressure washer/foam cannon stuff for one of those great nozzles Mike G has - eley nozzle. They look like a good fit for me.

Geez i paid well over 100 for my black kobrajet hose alone. Great hose no doubt but no need in my situation.

People love foam so i think i can get rid of it locally. It works great.

I've been using Dlc's approach on the 914 It's been hitting the marks and I keep saving my Froth and Fuzion for a slow week I guess or I'm just being lazy

I've really been on a polishing kick lately. I'm pulling them all out.
I just loaded up on the entire Jescar line for 25% off

For anyone reading look up Mike G on youtube.

I will probably try oberk too i always liked that patterson guy - he knows his stuff for sure. Sole will probably be my next polish. Look forward to the review.

One question: What dilution do you use for ech20? 1:200? It does leave a very nice shine that is why it's on top of my possible gallon list. But i should just chase the dragon i think lol

Thanks. For ech2o I use the 1:200 dilution. Buy small bottles if you like to try different things.

One other attribute is this one can foam if using it in a foaming pump sprayer which comes in handy when using it on heaver dirt or on wheels. The more I use it the more I like it over the others. Dilution is on par with ONR.

Great, now I'm going to have to try another one! I haven't really looked into this product yet.

The UBS is awesome

I do keep a pressure washer though. We have a lot of dirt roads just north of us, and I often need to blast off the heavy stuff before the ONR wash. I will also sometimes pre-treat with Optimun Power Clean (3 or 5:1), which I still need to put in the foamer. I also use it when I do wheels and wheel wells.

Plus, the better half likes me being able to power wash the balcony deck!

I have the El Cheapo Ryobi. It works well enough for what I need it for. When the garage is done I'll get a stationary one that can stay set up. I have a handful of people who get freebies (family, friends, a neighbor), so I'll use the Ryobi on those jobs.

I will look in to that nozzle though!

Wolfgang Uber with a chenille wash mitt or multiple wash mitts and a separate rinse bucket works best for me. The Wolfgang Uber wipes away cleanly with no film left behind. It even leaves the windows clear.

Do you use Uber in your rinse bucket as well?

No, just clean rinse water in the rinse bucket. The rinse bucket also has a scrubbing board. I use 1 ounce of Wolfgang Uber per 3 gallons of water. The Griots Edgeless PFM is my favorite drying towel.
