If you are looking for the 'snow' foam type experience, then yes you need a pressure washer gun.  The hose-end gun does a decent job at producing foam, but it does not cling very long.

You will probably need a machine to remove the scratches.  But throw up a picture and we may be able to suggest something else.

Something that popped into my head today - having two keys for your car!  One for the door and one for the ignition - what a pain!

That is on my list come, June.  Ran out of time last time.

Might give it a try tomorrow after legoland. My dad and brother say the food is great.

Try Jimbo's barbecue - excellent ribs, very good pork, and good sides.  But beware - this is a barbecue joint, not a fancy place - the restrooms are 'out back'.

There was a chart available at one time, but I believe with the introduction of new products it quickly goes out of date.  
 
 The listing of videos is a good place to start.
 
But,
Exterior
Clean wheels and tires wash (Rinseless or Car Wash Shampoo (+ 2-3 oz of APC) dry Clay (if needed - do 'baggie' test to confirm) polish  - hand or machine) protection - Sealants or Wax (or both! - but Sealant first)   
Interior
vacuum clean surfaces   treat surfaces   OR do both steps in one with TID  
Admire...
 

65 Pontiac GTO. As a retired drag car she was in rough shape but I got her respectable looking again.
 

And that usually comes from people who drive a soul-less piece of A to B transportation.
 
The team principal of Ferrari F1 had a great quote the other day:  "We need to get back to having the car seen as an inspirational theme and not just as a means of transport, which adds nothing to our existence."
 
Coming from a person who details some pretty cool stuff:  it's never JUST a car!

It's good that your wife has more skills than you.

Think we are close to paint. Body came off the frame shortly after these pics were taken
 

 

 

 

 
 
Autoguide app sucks

Stick with the PC, BUT add a pair of the MF Cutting pads - http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-954-adams-65-orange-microfiber-cutting-pad.aspx.  This will significantly cut down the time for a correction.  The MF cutting pad can usually be finished with PFP and a white foam pad. so still just 2 steps!

Took a customer of mine to dinner along with my son.  Very nice of him to take the time to talk to my son about a career in flying and the path to get there.  He has been flying commercially for a lot of years.  He challenged my son to get his private license in 1 year.  Now dad needs to cough up the cash for lessons.  Excited to see my son pursue a career that he has wanted for a lot of years.

I've been putting off doing a full correction on my F250 for almost a year now. Well today was the day, I got half of the truck done. Did one side, as well as the tailgate. Here was the process:
-strip wash
-clay bar with detail spray
-SVRT all trim
-Paint correcting polish/microfiber pad (FLEX,Focus)
-Paint finishing polish/microfiber pad
-Liquid Paint Sealant
-Brilliant Glaze
-Americana Premium Wax
-Paint Correcting Polish,Paint Finishing Polish,Brilliant Glaze on windows
-Deep Wheel Cleaner on rims with Adams Fender Brush and Wheel Woolie
-Soft Scrub on tires with Adams Wheel Brush
-SVRT Spray on wheel edges
-SVRT on wheel faces
-Invisible Undercarriage Spray
-Detail spray on rims
-SVRT exhaust tip
-Metal polish 1&2 on running board metal surfaces
-Revive hand polish in door handle jambs
 
Gonna do the other side tomorrow and get it all finished up. 

A work platform!

Done, email confirmation should be inbound.  Threw in 2 extras also, just be sure to ease up on your Popeye grip when you put the sprayers on next time.
 

That would be very cool, and slightly odd too!!  There will be small crowd of AF folks there.

Best of luck with your future plans Dylan.  Even though we have not met in person, It has been a pleasure to work with you on several different projects! 

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Its certainly been a fun run here and I've met a lot of great people, made a ton of connections, and shared some special times with people that I probably otherwise may have never met. Its weird how a little internet community has so dramatically changed my life and the people I'm connected to.
 
I'm more than confident that Nick and the team will carry the torch for me and keep this thing headed the right direction. Matt is going to expand his role here and become more than just our outgoing social media guy... look for these 2 to bridge the gap between our facebook/instagram and the forum and offer you guys even more interaction and fun going forward. They're two creative, friendly, and capable guys and I couldn't ask for better people to step into my role on the forums going forward.
 
Plan next hasn't really been nailed down just yet, but my availability has certainly drawn some attention... I'll be sure to update the team here on where I end up landing and they can pass that info on.
 
Thanks to all of you again for all your kind words and encouragement... I'm sure you'll see more of me in the future and I always welcome you to connect with me online via facebook if you haven't already:

Here is my Challenger.  It's a 2013 R/T Classic.
 

You can not always tell what type of clear the car has so I work a 2ft x 2ft. test section first to get my polishing plan -  polishes + pads.  Sometimes it take 2-3 test sections to get the combo right.
