Carpro Merino x2 here. Consistent good results with no scratching glides across surface and cleans easily by shaking in bucket. Does not "smell" after use like other wool mitts.
It takes me 4 hours to plan a detail!
Obvious to me that the many YEARS of detailing Mike has done allows him to walk up to a vehicle inspect, feel, and within 5 min knows what his plan of attack...
Mike..I LOVE my Metro Sidekick as well!!!!!!
Use it almost daily..blowing out engine bays, driveways, mirrors, door jams, interiors, and my German Shepherd! Cool tool to have powerfull and quiet.
Mike.. Rog down here in SA.. Great work and your baby is shinning nice. Maybe with your "pull".. You can have Rupes build me a special prototype helmet mini polisher and I'll detail the underside of...
I LOVE the sidekick.. But it can't do a car or SUV/Truck fast enough. Save up for a MASTER BLASTER! others use Leaf blowers ( myself included ) and they work.. But the Blaster is much more quiet....

wd40 works well...tar x..and I have also heard baby oil is good. I have also used the "white" gojo (with NO pumice..ie grit/abrasives) with good results.
There are A LOT more PC'S that have worked for years and done alot of dirty work. They are dependable and being a Machinist myself...MANY times it is an isolated incident that a tool breaks like...
