Don't know a specific good hose but one thing I've learned, Non-Kink hoses kink more often that regular hoses. I like rubber hoses.

Carbon monoxide is the product of incomplete combustion.  I dont think wheel cleaner is burning in anyway.

I actually think the Adams is safer. When I use the iron out I had to turn on the fan and it made me cough and gag. The Adams didn't irritate my lungs at all.

Today I was cleaning out shower and usually I use Iron Out as a presoak since our water is hard and full of iron/rust. When I sprayed it on part of the shower that had visible orange tint on it, I noticed the Iron Out turned purple and thats when it all clicked in my head, "Why not use Adam's Wheel Cleaner?". So I rinsed down the shower and went and got my Wheel Cleaner.
 
Even after cleaning the shower once with Iron Out the changes were extremely noticeable with Wheel Cleaner. Wheel Cleaner did such a better job at cleaning and removing the iron in the tub/shower. I even dilute my Wheel Cleaner 1:1 (50% Water : 50% Product).
 
The blackness you see on the shower is from the Wheel Cleaner being activated, remember I had already cleaned the entire shower once with Iron Out.
 
I will not be buying any more Iron Out after today. I will just use my Wheel Cleaner & Wheel Brush.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Most of those products are probably Sealants but they market them as a "Wax" because some people don't understand the difference between a Wax and Sealant.

HGG has a dry application method as well and is a spray sealant. IMO a Spray Wax is useless, wax is just a topper to last a few days and offers next to no protection. I'd use HGG dry application if you want to do it when the car isn't wet. If you don't want to use HGG and just want a spray on topper, use Detail Spray.

Haven't had any issues but I prefer not to use anything other than glass cleaner on clear plastics. Occasionally I'll hit them with the towel I use ID with and never noticed streaking.

agreed 100%. or learn to live with them.

Those look like paint gouges down to the bare plastic underneath. I'm assuming that is a front bumper from the picture? 
 
Unfortunately those will need to be filled in with touch-up paint. I would try to fill them with multiple thin layers, allow to cure, then if you're comfortable with it, wet-sand them down, and then polish back out. Wet-sanding can be tricky and damaging if you sand down too far. 
 
Having the area sanded, re-primed, re-painted/blended by a body-shop would be the best solution to making it look new again.

Hey, if you don't like it... Use it to spray weeds lol

I'm not sure if you can do flat. It's more of a spray bottle tip. The pressure is good and it seems to stay pressurized for quit a while. Usually 1 gallon of liquid, I can pump it up fully 3-4 times and empty the entire gallon.

I don't use it on my truck but I use it for the lawn and it works great. Has a good adjustable spray head.

Not a fan of battery operated ones... Then you have to worry about batteries and electronics going bad. Pump sprayers last forever if taken care of.

I use a half gallon (4 pint) pump-up garden sprayer.  It is similar to the Colad sprayer, but less expensive.
 
 

My guess is that it's a foaming applicator. Looks similar to a foaming pump.

Exactly. They can ether have someone in a wash bay using a bucket or have all of the bays empty and be losing money.

When I saw the OP I was going to say oh wow we finally got the ability to delete posts

If you want one of your posts deleted, just edit it to say "please delete" or maybe "duplicate post" and then when a Mod or Admin sees it, we can delete it.

Ditto what Rich said - let us know and we can remove the thread or close it out since I believe only moderators and admins can delete a thread

Well not to point fingers either but if you have a normal car like most of us do, you'll never get selected to win. Just look at Adam's Instagram page. They have a serious obsession with BMWs, supercars, or American muscle. They seem to be forgetting about us normal folk that make up the majority of the consumer base and are pandering to the upper class now.
 
But I wish they would bring back the forum contests.

The only residue that a towel will leave is lint. Is that what you are seeing?
 
I'm having a hard time seeing what exactly it is. It almost looks like water etching.

Ok so for Detail Spray you should wipe it off once, flip the towel over to get the left over and buff off slight hazing.
 
As far as linting, that all comes to how you wash the towels... Use cold water, a non-scented detergent (preferably with no dyes), and tumble dry with no heat. There are some good videos out their by a MF Towel manufacturer but I don't think I'd be allowed to post them here.

Yep, I would recommend our Trim & Lug Nut Brush, brushing the area gently with plenty of soap and cleaning out the brush often to reduce the chance of light scratching.
 
Steam could also weaken the adhesion of the decal if you get it too hot.
