Pre-made cannon soap mixes ready to go
Marshall replied to Marshall's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Chops1sc, Very interesting. I see what you are saying here. The water/soap mixture kinda breaks down and looses its potency. I'd hate to make up various rations to just be lack luster at the time of use. I can see where the time to make a "fresh mix" is worthwhile to get its full potential. Thanks for you input here!! -
Pre-made cannon soap mixes ready to go
Marshall posted a question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Just trying to save a little bit of time in my maintenance washes by having some pre-made soaps ready. Thinking I could have two, 32 oz. mixes, of water/wash & wax and of water/Mega ready ahead of time before I start a wash. Obviously I'd shake up the 2 diffrent mixtures well before I'd use them due to sitting a week or two. Does anyone have any opinion on this as a good/bad idea. Unfortunately Adam's doesn't offer a spare premium foam cannon bottle and cap. So I'd have to use a different container of similar size and then pour into the Adam's bottle. Unless someone knows of bottle that is a match to the Adam's style and size with a cap? -
Which Shampoo Produces More Foam?
Marshall replied to Chevy_Salon's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Falcaineer, I'm a big fan of the Adams Wash & Wax. I use it along with Mega in my various vehicle and outdoor washing routines. What exactly is the difference between W&W and Ultra Foam? Both have silica components to them. -

Filling 16oz bottles from a gallon jug?
Marshall replied to Marshall's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Chops1sc, yes sir, that simple white screw on funnel makes it much better. Now with that and the yellow on/off gallon jug spout I found, it makes pouring W&T cleaner simple and mess free. I used another of these spouts to top off my Total Interior cleaner. Another thin product. It worked perfectly as well! -

Filling 16oz bottles from a gallon jug?
Marshall replied to Marshall's question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
Thanks for the response Ray! I looked into the gallon pumps that would fit the Adams jugs the best but then I came across another item. An on/off refill spout. I purchased 4 of these and actually used 1 tonight with my Wheel & Tire cleaner gallon jug. With the Adams funnel on my 16 oz bottle it worked perfectly! No mess. The on/off collar works a little stiff to control the flow but not too bad. I'm going to use this on my 4, less viscous, Adams products. -

Filling 16oz bottles from a gallon jug?
Marshall posted a question in General Detailing Discussion and Questions
I probably should know the answer to this question but here it is anyway. When trying to refill my Wheel & Tire cleaner 16 oz bottle, with a new full gallon jug, how can you pour it in correctly and not make a mess? I have the thread on bottle funnel, but man that full gallon of W&T cleaner just doesn't seem to pour well and not run down the side of the jug! It's certainly not as viscous as other Adams products but it seems to pour the worst of anything I've got. Almost like the gallon jug needs a type of spout attachment? Does anyone have any thoughts/ideas here? Thanks! -
Wash & Wax 1st Experience
Marshall replied to Marshall's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Not to trying to repeat myself but I'm seriously liking Wash & Wax even more! I washed my daughter's GMC Terrain and my AT4 on Sunday both had a coat of Spray Wax 3 weeks ago and there was a little remaining on the surfaces. After wheels/tries, I pre washed with Mega Foam on both with the surfaces dry. Just foam cannon and rinse. Then foamed with W&W and microfiber mitt wiped. Finished up with PW rinse and a final Deionized water, pooling rinse. Pulled them both in the garage and that was it. Next morning you could tell that I used W&W as my final verse MF. Slight gloss and a tad more slickness to the surfaces. It really seems to alow the wash mitt to glide over the surfaces even easier than with using MF. -

Deionized Water Benefits lost with metal contact?
Marshall replied to Verbosity1's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
That is interesting BrianT. I've got 3 brass fittings on the DI outstream hose for my final rinse. Thanks for the input here. -

Hondaman117, sounds awesome! You really got a car load of goodies. I'd be curious to hear your feedback on the extractor for interiors. -

Marshall replied to Verbosity1's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
I agree 100% with Falcaineer on this. I've had the dual media unit with the bypass and it's a serious game changer in terms of water spots! I've got Eley hose and quick couplers that are brass and have not seen any issues because of them. I've saved major time in my maintenance washes with this device as well. I highly recommend it if you have hard water. I only use the DI water for my final pooling rinse with the hose to save on the media longevity as well. Hope this helps! -
Premium Foam Cannon orifice size
Marshall replied to rrmccabe's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Rich, what you and Ray are seeing makes sense totally. I'm surprised it's not an option on the cannon? Lots of people are using the smaller PW's -
Premium Foam Cannon orifice size
Marshall replied to rrmccabe's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
rrmccabe, that an interesting report on changing the cannon nozzle to meet your PW capabilities. Definitely makes sense. I'm running 3000 psi/3 gpm on my gas unit and it's mated perfect to the my Adams premium foam cannon. I had a competition foam gun with my garden hose for a year or so. I was like you, disappointed in the foam amount and lubricity. I will say my PW capacity allows for a good rinse down, I just prefer a final rinse with my garden hose and fire nozzle running with deionized water. Glad to hear your enjoying your new PW with the cannon! -

Best Wheel Brush For These Wheels?
Marshall replied to Marshall's question in Wheels, Tires, Trim, & Undercarriage
Thanks Ray! I ordered the larger wheel woolie with my chemical stock up order a couple days ago. My plan is to use it on the daily drivers as well as the Camaro. -
Pressure Washer Input Requested
Marshall replied to hondaman117's question in Towels, Brushes, & Accessories
Thanks for the feedback here Falcaineer! I have considered this Pro unit for myself as hondaman117 has. My issue is that I don't need 2 units, lol. My Mi-T-M is 9hp, 3000 PSI, and 3 GPM . By far my biggest complaint is the noise, even for a Honda engine. Portability is great and I installed a glycerin filled PSI gauge on it so I could dial down the PSI to 1800 ish for vehicles. The harbor freight dolly makes perfect sense to make the Adams Pro somewhat portable.
