    I find it likes to drink a lot of product. I now apply product with coating saver applicator. Follow up with this to get it into all the grooves and lettering. Great combo.

    Late on the ball as usually Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    But got me a cheap PW handle with the attachement for Kärcher K-series. The piece between the hose and the attachement is a swiwel wich they came out with a year ago. That's the sad part with the K-series connections is just for them. And now I need to get all switched over to QC Post Your Unpacking Pictures And to get the right orifice on the nozzle tips. The ones that came with it is just a little bit to small so the pressure gets to high. I have a set that's to big so they work for now.

    So far I've used it with TW graphene acrylic tire shine and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, might be due to the thicker consistency. Gonna try it with some DG 253 which is thinner and see what happens. Thanks for the heads up!

    I also used with TWGACSCTSTQW……. I know some speak to it needing to be primed but I did two tires. Tried second with the applicator and used about half as much.

    Maybe next time I’ll try priming it more. The saver applicators I used were just the normal ones. I think the product proof barrier may have made it go further. The brush probably used as much product as the old foam applicator I used.

    Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    So the stubby came in! You all who are thinking of buying it your welcome…….

    Looks amazing. Build quality is awesome great size. Set up for future attachments.

    Has a rubberized tip so no need for a Blower Band…… BUT

    I gotta think that through all the testing no one thought to test fit it to the blower. Fit’s loose enough you can jiggle it. Not quality I would expect.

    I still like design better than other’s out there but feel I shouldn’t have to mod it myself for $60. Doesn’t leak any air so I’m thinking a rubber trim or something.

    Matt had video where he fixed it with duct tape. Post Your Unpacking Pictures

    Edit: I tested it out and doesn’t rattle or jiggle while carrying it around. Also works really well no leaks and no rattles while in use which was what IWas afraid off.

    My second section clip on well and didn’t come off with slight tugging. I’ll post more thoughts when using to dry car.















    If I did all over I’m still not a fan of the Stubby Nozzle Co 3D printed one. I would order the Ego gutter blower kit and use the attachment to hook up the length of tubes.

    Credit to OCD detail saw this on his review of the nozzle.

    I looked at the Stubby Nozzle website and kind of choked on the price

    And if the fit isn't there I am back to the drawing board

    I will probably just mod something up with some PVC fittings or just cut and shape the factory tube somehow

    Plus I am confused, what is the Apexaire deal all about?

    Is that required to fit the stubby one?

    You guys should just use my detailed image affiliate discount code for the stubby nozzle. It may not look as nice as the OG one but it is not loose and lots cheaper.

    On a happier note everything I’ve been waiting on has come in!

    New 7” round Phillips LED headlights.



    My Hotchkis Rear swayBar



    My Ridetech front swayBar.



    Had to go with these particular 2 as the mount up to the new RT front control arms and existing Hotchkis rear ones.

    Apex aire is one Obsessed garage selling stubby nozzle co is the other.

    Stubby nozzle co does have free shipping. Just get the Ego gutter blowing kit. You get a stubby nozzle in that and it’s only $55. You’ll also can probably find it locally.

    Nope, I’m running a Kobalt blower so it’s Stubby or DIY

    I have a reducer from my old shop vac similar to the one you showed

    Might be in storage or ???
