Interesting.... I think I'm gonna pick one up.

When you say "cd" are you referring to an actual cd? As in "compact disk"? Or is this some abbreviation for something else I'm not catching lol

Yes. The CD test referred to is rubbing against a CD and looking for marring. BTW - Viva paper towels pass this test.

That's awesome...I'll be picking some of these up later this evening. Saves me the $27.99 for the 2 pack of guzzlers.

I just got back from walmart lol Picked up 2 of them. They were 3.97ea but still worth it.

Speaking of deals, the scrub brushes you find in the detailing section is like 6 bucks. I found a lot of good deals on things like, brushes, sponges, brushes in other areas of walmart besides the detailing section.

I found a 2 pack of micro fiber dish sponges that I use for cleaning rims

In the hardware section I found A small hard bristle scrubber for 1.99. In the detail section its 4.

I use dish rags to wipe down the tires, got a 3 pack of them at the dollar store.

I use small sponges to apply trim restorer and I got a 10 pack at the dollar store as well. I just cut them up to apply to small bits of trim.

Also at the dollar store, spray bottles, I wouldn't recommend them. They're bad quality, don't spray well, and seem to unscrew too easily. you're better off paying an extra dollar for one at lowes. Same goes for their micro fiber towels. They come in a 3 pack, seems like a great deal, but they look thin and not very durable.

Things like detailing brushes, dusters, sponges, rags, tooth brushes, scrub brushes, I would try the dollar store first.

Not busting your balls but why are you so afraid of the cd test? I look at the test to see if a towel mars the CD. If so, that towel gets used for things other than paint. Now if a towel doesn't scratch a CD, I still proceed with caution when trying on paint.

So I agree with you that the CD test isn't fool proof but it IS a good first step indicator......
