    Re: Tire Dressing Applicators

    All my vehicles have 40 series or lower - actually found the "Chunky Foam" one's to work really well:
    Speed Master Tire Dressing Applicator

    I've used them with gel and liquid type dressings.

    Re: Wheel coating recommendations please!

    I've had good luck with McKees37 Hydro Blue = simple --> Clean well --> spray on --> rinse off with PW....

    Lasts long enough to protect between monthly washes - so just re-apply every wash.

    Re: Questions about CarPro Essence

    That would be the best option - use it to at least soften up the mineral deposits (pre-polish).

    Essence does handle light defects using a heavy cut pad - I like to pair it with Buff & Shine URO...

    Here's another option - if you are looking for one stop shopping for valves as well:

  7. Re: Looking for Better Water Hose and Pressure Washer Fittings

    I have been fighting this battle for years now..... My next option is to go MTM Hydro parts:
    Garden Hose QC - Brass
    Garden Hose Plug - Brass

    They also have stainless but that get's pricey........

    Re: Pressure Washer Spray Gun - What's yours?

    I have the MTM SGS-28 - it's been great (3+ years now) of semi regular weekly washes in summer + other PW uses.....

    For the hobbyist it's a great option.

    I also have MTM Cobrajet Hose - the...

    Re: Best Interior Detailing Lights

    Eastwood has a selection of LED lights - I have an older under hood light I use all the time - but they've updated their selection to be modular now.... Might be a good option.

    Re: Topper for CarPro Cquartz UK Edition

    I've also used CanCoat to maintain the longevity of CQUK 3.0.

    During the winter months though that's not possible - so this year I used Kenotek Show Room Shine after waterless washes.
