    Re: NEW 3D GLW series

    This just feels like the new private equity owners are doing a sales and marketing play. It feels cheap and backwards to me. SiO2 Ceramic Interior Detailer? What? Too buzz-wordy for me. When Mike was...

    Re: Do you still use a sealant?

    Yep. Some vehicles get an annual AIO (3D Speed or Blackfire AIO) and those get nothing more than an easy-to-use spray sealant every few washes. Reason being I'm working in less than ideal polishing...

    Re: Best foam gun setup ?? (Not cannon )

    I'm a power washer guy. I can set up my power washer as fast as it'd take to pull out a hose. Quick disconnects and a higher quality hose make all the difference.

    However you cannot to the foam...

    Re: Can a drying towel be too large

    I prefer a handful of smaller towels over a large one. Easier to maneuver, wash & inspect. I don't mind grabbing another after one gets saturated.

    Still love using my PFM's, would like to get into...
  5. Re: If you could only choose one complete “system”?

    Gonna go against the grain and say 3D; they're my benchmark brand that I always fall back to when I get tired of trying new things. I've had a good experience with all of their products sans a stinky...

    Re: Rinseless wash sponges

    The thing that got me is your first swipe across a panel is the most abrasive swipe whether you're using a towel or a sponge.

    Think about it, if you make 2-3 passes over a dirty panel you're...

    Re: SEMA 2022/2023 New Products

    I'm a big fan of 3D but I really feel like they didn't need to jump on the graphene train. Cheapens the brand imo.

    Re: Rinseless wash method?

    Sounds crazy but I’ve done this too. Wash wheels/wells like normal, pressure rinse, and pull into the garage for a rinseless. Helps avoid hard water spots during crazy summer heat. I don’t pre-treat...

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Quick disconnects and a swivel (at least on the gun) are essential upgrades in my opinion!
  10. Re: Is a pressure washer really needed for a safe wash ?

    This really isn't a question with a black and white answer. It all depends on how dirty the vehicle is, how fresh is the protection, how good is your wash technique, etc. For someone in California...

    Re: Claybar vs. Iron Remover 50/50 Test

    I meant decontaminating a coated car when you're trying to refresh an existing coating. I generally don't clay unless I'm going to polish afterwards.

    Re: Claybar vs. Iron Remover 50/50 Test

    That's how I feel, I'd only use a iron remover on paint if I'm doing a decon.

    If the paint is *so* neglected/trashed that I'm worried about marring from claying realistically it's going to need a...

    Re: How important is durability to you?

    At the moment it depends on what part of the car we're talking about. I hate doing rims so they get coated because I want something that'll last as long as possible. Paint is the opposite, I want...

    Poll: Re: Best easy to use Topper

    Subbed, as I like using these spray sealants you can easily slop on the paint and often times my sole LSP.

    Re: Electric pressure washers

    Another vote for the Active VE52, noticeable upgrade from my Ryobi and didn't break the bank. Note I have all aftermarket gun/hoses/quick-disconnects.

    Re: Drying Towel Scratches

    I'm sure I'd agree. I guess my question is more geared toward which toppers/sealants aren't clogging everyone's towels and is R&R helping to keep them fresh. Or is it not worth the risk.

    Re: Drying Towel Scratches

    Bumping this thread since I'm almost out of 3D Towel Kleen and thinking about grabbing some R&R. I've recently starting using Griots Rinseless Wash and Wax (the purple stuff) as a drying aid/light...

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

    I upgraded from a Ryobi RY14122 and I can tell you it was a noticeable improvement. I don't use a foam cannon at the moment and I swapped out the stock hose/gun/wand immediately so I can't really...
  20. Re: Can I put profi over a 3 year old uber coating?

    Seriously. And after the initial BIG correction if the car is well maintained (washed regularly, touched carefully) the refresh requires fewer section passes since I only need to remove light towel...
  21. Re: BLACKFIRE One Step Topped with PBL Surface Coating - 2019 Chevy Impala

    Awesome. I like easy and I already have some One Step in the garage. The cars I maintain usually get a super light polish annually (or some spot correction) so this sounds like a great "coating lite"...
  22. Re: Question: Do you feel spray sealants provide adequate protection compared to traditional sealants?

    Application has little to do with protection. You can spread margarine on your car with foam pad and I promise you'll be unhappy with the protection. That being said it's likely you can fit more...
  23. Re: Are there any spray sealants that are worth it?

    This is a great perspective. I’m starting to favor products that are easy to apply; products that “flash” or “melt” into the paint with no streaking, can apply in hot or cold temps, or apply in the...

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

    Funny I like the OG wand, I turn the little kink at the end upwards to get under and around side skirts and running boards when I'm doing the initial rinse.

    I also took a pass on the foam cannon....

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

    I recently went through this and got the OG-spec gun. Totally overkill, I wouldn't buy it again but I'd still probably pay up for a swiveling Mosmatic.

    Whatever you do I'd definitely get a...
