Tire and rubber cleaner can be diluted?
Islander replied to Kino's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I've tried 1:1 dilution for cleaning floormats and rubber trim that's not really dirty and seems to work ok...but for for heavy duty cleaning straight up works best. -

Air Cannon Jr or Sidekick Blaster?
Islander replied to Islander's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Thanks Rich...yeah it looks like a real beast..i guess that one is better suited for completely drying your vehicle -

Air Cannon Jr or Sidekick Blaster?
Islander posted a question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Hey Guys, Trying to decide between the Air Cannon Jr or the Sidekick Blaster, for getting out all the water in the places a towel just can't get to. Currently use a leaf blower....but I need to stop that LOL Is the Air Cannon JR more powerful and quicker for this task? I was all set to buy the Sidekick for ease of setup/use but wondering if I will save time using the Cannon instead. Any thoughts appreciated! Phil -

Pressure Washer Power
Islander replied to liquidred's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Very true about keeping your distance. It's easy to forget sometimes and then you can seriously screw up your paint. Personally I like a low powered 1400psi machine in case I forget and get too close. I stay about 18" or so away and only use a 40 degree white tip for paint. -

Using GDS as a Drying Aid
Islander replied to Islander's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Update: Got up at sunrise today and used Graphene Shampoo and GDS as a drying aid...both products for the first time. Worked great...even in the early direct sunlight.No streaking at all and left a beautiful slick finish ...on my 4Runner that has a 3rd party graphene spray coating on it...very pleased -

Using GDS as a Drying Aid
Islander replied to Islander's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Thanks Trap -
Hi All, Kinda general question on use of a detail spray like GDS as a drying aid... I have a drying towel that is fantastic. I dry an entire truck with it and it still seems to have room to dry another car...which is great. What I wonder about is whether this towel will just absorb everything including GDS as I drag it across each panel and leaving next to none of it on the surface of the car? Is it better (albeit more work) to first conpletely dry the vehicle then spray on GDS and us MFs to spread and remove? I like the idea of using GDS in the drying process but wondering if I am just wasting it with my drying towel? Any thoughts?

Islander replied to Islander's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Thanks @mc2hill good to know that the LPS / G&G works well for you because Florida conditions would be close to what I am in Still waxing right now...but gonna experiment with either LPS/GG...or maybe try the Graphene ceramic spray Thanks for yoyr feedback -

Spot Correction after Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating?
Islander replied to Islander's question in Exterior Protection & Enhancement
Hi Ray, Forgot to ask...when it comes time to re-apply the GSC after 1 year, or sooner, is it necessary to completely remove the old coating...will new GSC bond to a oartially remaing older GSC layer? -
