Rubber Mat Cleaner Questions
TexWalker replied to joelilton23's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
DAMMIT man, give me the good stuff!!!! Why are you holding out on us, Dan??? -
There are always contaminants falling onto the surface, Thats why you paint cars in paint booths. Might be a tiny bit, but technically dust is falling on the surface all the time

Strip wash uses a different bottle?
TexWalker replied to BG SQ5's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
It all makes sense now. I'll remember that when I have to replace mine bottle prematurely. You guys need a different top for those -

Towel Storage
TexWalker replied to marauder's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I have a few of the clear rectangular bins the wife got from Target. They have snap on lids and are stackable. Fits perfectly on my detail cart. I have a few sizes to hold my towels, pads, applicators, etc. -
Best way to wash a classic muscle car?
TexWalker replied to HAMBO's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
I have a '64 Dart convertible. Washing was never a big issue. Avoid pressure around the tops of the windows where it meets the convertible top along with the top of the windshield. Those areas never seem to seal super well. The rest of the car should be totally fine to spray down, suds up and rinse. And I would do a rinseless wash over a waterless wash. I have both, but the rinseless is way better. I do my daily driver weekly with rinseless without any issues -

Mine not only leaks when I squeeze, it tipped over and leaked all over my tool box drawer, and yes, the pop top was closed. Lost half the bottle -

Is foam cannon worth it or too much hassle?
TexWalker replied to hemi1300's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I have both the foam cannon and the foam gun. After winter or after a big trip with the truck or suburban (or an off-road adventure), it’s awesome to grab the pressure washer and really blast the gunk off. Keeps the paint in better shape because you get all the dirt off and keeps your bucket of suds and washing tool of choice cleaner. The foam gun is for maintenance car washes where I’m not getting tons of filth off. -

TexWalker replied to mc2hill's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
You were standing on it in the store, paying attention. When you’re leaning out buffing the hood or scrubbing the windshield or walking down the thing as your waxing the roof, you’re not paying near as much attention to your feet as you are in the store. To each their own, if the 12” works for you, that’s awesome! I just know that I’d hate to fall off and hurt myself and it could have been prevented bu having a little more space to walk on. -

TexWalker replied to mc2hill's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Well, yeah. A punch to the gut is light years better than a kick to the nuts, but I’d rather have neither. Check them out, but I’m confident in my decision that wider is better -

TexWalker replied to mc2hill's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Just keep this in mind. You’re standing several feet above the ground not really paying attention on where you’re feet are going, do you really want something smaller to be standing on? Id much rather have a 24” wide platform than a 12” platform. My foot is literally wider than that, there’s no way I’d risk taking a spill because I was concerned about the folded up size...especially because the thickness is what matters more and is the same between the two -

I just can’t justify the price and I really don’t need one of that caliber. If Adams made a version of the Swirlkiller in that size, I’d buy it today.
-
I really wish Adams would come out with a micro or even nano sized polisher. I could use something small for lots of things, automotive and not

I have the 48” long Werner and I love it. Makes getting windshields roofs and hoods doable on my big trucks
