    KSRegalGS got a reaction from ExcellentAmp in Steam Cleaning Salt from Carpets   
    Salt is water soluble. Warm water is your best bet. Saturate with water. Vacuum. Steam clean and treat (assuming you're still going the steamer route). Treat with carpet and upholstery cleaner, agitate with a brush, and repeat with steamer as needed. Vacuum and let dry. Cockpit brush to revive the pile and refresh the fibers. The steamer would help breakdown stubborn more resilient stains but I wouldn't consider it a necessity. Depends how bad you want a steamer. stay away from steamers made in Cleveland

    KSRegalGS reacted to Ricky Bobby in Traditional Washing still has its place - Foam Gun Review   
    Just want to thank Adam's for sourcing this American made, heavy duty foam gun for your traditional washes (or can be incorporated into a rinseless routine as well in a pre-treat phase)
     
    The 32oz canister is perfect, on my wifes Sportwagen yesterday I used the purple tip (heavier solution flow I believe) yesterday since we had 1/2" of snow on Monday and her car looked like it went through a blizzard.  I was able to foam it twice (once as a pre-foam, then rinse, then I foam up the car again before touching my wash pad to it) with some solution to spare and ended up wasting the rest on the roof - so definitely a good idea with the 2 sizes of tips included, if I had a big rig pick up I'd probably still use the same tip as I really was foaming it slowly, or you may want to use the yellow tip and more soap in the foam gun.
     
    Coming from one of the plastic Chinese foam guns, I will admit that those did ok as I used one for almost 2 seasons, but the connector was flimsy (plastic quick connect), the hose nozzle leaked all the time, and the hose nozzle itself was junk, I used to release to trigger and it would still be foaming for 10 seconds later, probably because the vaccuum on the canister was too much for the thin plastic.  The nozzle finally broke the last time I used it back in a warm spell in February.
     
    Since its post winter here, a lot of us will be washing traditionally to get our cracks and crevices cleaned up, the Adam's Foam Gun is a tool you would be 110% satisfied with incorporating into your wash routine and the amount of extra lubrication on the surface adds safety.  Sure there are some of us who do a lot of rinseless washes too (I'm one of them), but I'm usually always doing my wheels/tires traditionally and I'll most likely be pre-rinsing and foaming, even if I'm going to just pull it in the garage and complete a rinseless wash on the paint after, a great way to break up grime on the surface.
     
    Don't tell anyone, but most of the time I'm just using the Foam Gun now with 1 bucket, as my processes allow for much less dirt on the paint before I start touching it with wash pads - and the new rubberized red nozzle is actually pretty darn powerful for a hose nozzle, and I don't have the best water pressure in the world.  And although I have a foam cannon and nice Ryobi electric PW, some days I just don't feel like dragging it out, nor do I have enough surface dirt to warrant it.
     
    IMO, if you don't have one, pick it up on the next sale and throw it in your cart, it makes your traditional washes safer and quicker.  The upgrades alone are worth it (better nozzle and larger canister), and yes its worth the $100 when not bought during a sale, but if you do get a few bucks off with a current promotion, even better.  You definitely will not regret it.

    Why not offer the product for sale everywhere but exclude sales to California?  Bootleggers used to truck grain alcohol all across the country.  Surely some Adam's addict could drive a couple hundred miles out of or into the state.

    I would follow-up any tint polishing with a razor blade and a fresh application of new window film! 
     
    I'm not a polishing expert by any means, but in all seriousness I would advise against.  Try polishing the underside of a CD and see what happens.  While they aren't made of the same material, I would anticipate the 'plastic'/polycarbonate material to behave similarly.

    Not all the components freeze at the same temp.  That being said, once you get it to room temp just make sure you give it a good shake as you should before you use any product left to sit.

    Thanks for the replies; gotta love the support on this forum!  The temps have been in the mid 60's recently.  After I made my last attempt to wipe the car down I let it sit overnight and then topped it off with Buttery Wax the following morning.  I didn't notice any marks after the wax application. 
     
    I recalled the "thin is in" w.r.t. applying LPS, but there's limitations to applying thin with a microfiber pad.

    You have a drinking problem.  Please let me elaborate.   You finished your beer, and didn't fill your koozie with another cold one.  That is the problem.  
     
    I actually get a little enjoyment knowing my bottles or towels wont stick to an already Adam's polished surface.
     
    Thanks for the suggestion!
