I like not that Meguiars wash mitt. Nor the mothers. The Griots not bad.

Waschpudel ftw though!

karim what car wash do you use with the cannon?

[Karim Khan]

I would only recommend a high foaming car wash for the foam cannon. I use a product that import called citrus wash. Its specifically designed for this purpose.

[16 cycles]

had some tape residue, varnish and other unwanted contaminants on granite from a small project.....used a razor blade to scrape of the larger bits..
.... followed by mother's clay bar + showtime detail ...
.....followed by rubbing alcohol to prep surface before using a sealant....

the clay bar worked well in removing the very fine contaminants...

Same thing a fella with a black corolla told me the other day.

"Nah man, car doh have swirl!"


When the sun hit that paint.....cobweb swirling like WOW.

Most ppl don't know what to look for to start with.

[nemesis]

Couldn't you just use most normal car washes in the cannon also?
Many of them say they're useable in the cannon but you just need to dilute it quite a bit.

[BassMekanik]

Guys where can i get a fender brush to buy today?

[nemesis]

Depends on how much space you have between your tire and fender shield.
Quite a few brushes are available at places that sell car care items. You from north or south? Carplus has a few different ones if you're in south.

If you do buy one of those big brushes though, just turn your wheels full lock and do closer to the outside, then turn the opposite direction and slide the brush up behind the tire. It's what I gotta do. But it works.

The sponge body is easier to hold. The fibers stay fluffed out better rather than just fall flat as soon as they get wet, and it washes clean easier.
Have to try it to feel the difference I guess. But I think a good wash mitt is a basic necessity so the price difference isn't really that bad.


MGMan, order online! Amazon does wuk good!
