Can’t get H2O g&g off paint
Red Rambler replied to MrRaspberryJam's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
yeah, the heat and a hot panel can cause extra work with lots of products, allowing them to dry too fast, in the cold similar issues arise. I would give the BG a go, and see what results you get, just try your worst panel, and if it removes the streaks you will be happy, but it will also have a tremendous amount of shine, win-win. -
Can’t get H2O g&g off paint
Red Rambler replied to MrRaspberryJam's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Another avenue that might be worth exploring is to leave the H2O where it is now, and apply Brilliant Glaze on top of the H2O, that might take the streaks out as well. I currently apply H2O and top that with a spray sealant from another company, it lends awesome results. I have had it on my mind to try H2O and top it with a layer of Brilliant Glaze, just have not done so yet. -
Can’t get H2O g&g off paint
Red Rambler replied to MrRaspberryJam's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Since the H2O is water activated, I would try a spray bottle of water to reactivate the H2O. I had a similar issue my first few go rounds with it. My process is to use less H2O than I initially thought, maybe 1 squirt for a fender and two squirts for the larger panels like the hood. Use two single softs, one for applying that is damp, and a dry one to wipe off. However, once you use too much product it will require more water to get the residue to buff off. -

Ryobi pressure washer question
Red Rambler replied to Bryman312's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
I have this exact Ryobi pressure washer in question, works well and I have quick connects at the pump and both ends of the hose. Its a quick setup. I concur @SVillalon that if you are looking for shaving cream consistency than do as has been suggested. It honestly works well for what it is, its light weight and easy to setup. I have a higher PSI gas unit, but its not as quick to move/setup so this is a happy medium. -

Ceramic Paint Coating Issues
Red Rambler replied to Ace0751's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Glad you were able to get this corrected. I will be doing my first adams coating soon and have purchased the suede applicators as mentioned above and also working on getting a better set of lights. I have read a few articles on leveling coatings. My main take away has been when buffing off, ensure plenty of buffing towels and switch sides often. Also instead of buffing with heavy pressure, increase your hand speed to help in leveling. Unsure if this is accurate however? -

This is an eggcellent idea, I have looked quite a few places. I was thinking, egg, which led me to food, which led me to the food thread, which in turn made me have to take a break and eat due to hunger.

I would appreciate that very much so. If the cost is around $50, I say that is a steal. -

Sizzlechest has a set very similar to that for sale a while back. I just sent him a message about it. Where did you get those bulbs from? If all else fails I’ll just build my own set -
Paint Coating | FAQ's | Discussion
Red Rambler replied to Dan@Adams's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Being as I will be doing a coating soon, what would be an example of a good light for the vertical panels. I have the overhead light covered, but want to make sure I'm not running into these same issues. -
Another amazing tool Shane has helped me discover recently for carpets as well is the tornador tool. It is powered by compressed air so that is another tool needed, an air compressor. The tornador tool pulled dirt out of my carpets that had been there for years. It creates a controlled tornado if you will. https://www.detailedimage.com/Tornador-M84/Black-Cleaning-Tool-Z-020-P1109/ The steamer Shane references above will be another tool I purchase at some point as well.

Microfiber glove
Red Rambler replied to alexA5's topic in Product Polls, Feedback, and Company Input
I have a few tight spots on my wheels and it did fit very well into them. I thought the same thing as well, large microfiber bands, however I was pleasantly surprised how it very closely mimicked my bare hand in tight spots and also held plenty of suds. I am used to using a wash mitt so this is a huge improvement for me. Hopefully it will be equally as successful in between the tight spokes. I am curious about the longevity of it, however, its a $10 wheel mitt taking abuse every time its used. -
Microfiber glove
Red Rambler replied to alexA5's topic in Product Polls, Feedback, and Company Input
I concur, just a little snug putting it on, once on it is fairly roomy. I did get the chance to use it this past weekend and it makes for quick work of cleaning wheels. It is a truly a great wheel glove. I am hopeful it loosens up after a few washes.
