    Re: Want to try a sealant...

    I use Opt Poli-seal because it's also an AIO. Leaves a clean finish that's exceptionally durable.

    Re: Soap in a Foam Gun

    Meg's gold class foams up real nice. That's what I was using before switching to CG honeydew. I diluted Meg's at 4 oz per quart IIRC.

    Sorry for the delay guys, I got home late last night and didn't feel like taking pics.

    Re: outdoor detailing. dust between steps?

    If the car is washed, a QD should suffice. At least that's what I use. ONR would do the trick though.

    Re: Carpet Extractor

    I'd definitely think so. The bissell never got hot enough IMHO and the suction wasn't nearly as powerful as the MyTee. Plus the MyTee heats up cold water to near scalding in 15 min. BIG timesaver.

    I can't say about the Black specifically, but I do have an older model and it is a pretty useful tool. One of the things I heavily use it for is cleaning door jambs. I use it with ONR and it does a...

    The MyTee lite 2 is an excellent tool, especially when used with an effective carpet cleaner like folex and a proper agitator (I use the PC with various carpet brush attachments). These tools have...

    Re: Automatic Swirl Machine

    I wonder if you got any second looks when you pulled into the rental car park. If I were the manager I'd run the VIN to check of its the same car lol.

    Re: Tornador

    I guess it depends on what you're using it for. If you do this for a living it does do a lot of work for you, and it does allow you to clean many of the nooks and crannies more thoroughly.

    The reason I used ONR is because from experience it has never degraded the clay. The same can't be said about soapy water. Every time I used car wash soap the clay started disintegrating after doing...

    Re: Why can't I get my windows clean?

    In my research lab we use acetone to clean glassware after scrubbing with detergent. It always leaves them #### and span. Don't think it'd be the best idea for detailing though because it can oxidize...

    The paint is not regular touch-up paint and is made to work with the SealAct solution. As such, the SealAct...

    I like hhgregg. They usually have good prices on like new open box items. My brother got his Samsung 50" LCD tv for a steal of a deal, like $550 IIRC.

    Re: Good canopy for sunshine detailing?

    Just checked harbor freight. They have a 10 x 10 on sale for $64.99 and a 10 x 20 for $149.99. The 10 x 20 has pretty decent reviews.

    I use a tornador. Nice because you can dry immediately after you rinse.
