Sounds good! Now I just have to find time to wash the car... I'm traveling for work this week and don't get back til 10PM Friday

HKYStormFront · 06-23-2014, 05:00 PM

I will definitely be there, BMDubs shut down doesn't start till Saturday evening so I don't have to work till Sunday morning, thankfully. See everyone there! And Brandon, I'm in the same boat, gotta find time to wash my car before the weekend!

I ordered a foam cannon attachment for my pressure washer and some new soap... I can't wait to try this thing out

I've had a foam master for years. Love that thing.

If you're going to wash with soap, that's the best way to do it

I do know a very reasonable and affordable guy that does installs down here on the side thats extremely knowledgeable. Hes done a lot of fiberglass work for friends of mine. Feel free to pm me if interested!

I just want a shop that uses the utmost care, I'm not doing anything custom just looking into some upgrades that will require proper tech integration and wire routing and concealment is very important. Really wanting to go to a professional shop that had done everything. I'm going to replace my touring model headunit and i know that will require someone who is tech savvy and is good at integration.

What else do you wash with?

Old Spice body wash, anything else would be uncivilized!! LOL
All jokes aside I have heard that some detail shops use Joy dish soap to remove all wax, etc. That way they have a clean slate to start with on a full out detail. Wax if in rain, polish if kept dry, or with an older car start clean with compound etc. if the paint is in bad shape and oxidized.

ONR is the only thing I use unless I need to strip a car down.

I love ONR, it was amazing when I lived in an apartment. But now with a house and a pressure washer the foam gun is where it's at. I swear I have like a gallon of ONR left somewhere... but I may have thrown it out before moving to SC

To each their own I suppose.

brancky3 · 06-25-2014, 12:08 PM

Do you use a mitt with the ONR? I've been using grout sponges for as long as I can remember but wouldn't mind switching so I don't use a sponge once and toss it in the garbage

Yea, a good MF wash mitt lasts me quite a while with ONR.
