I've been using these mitts for years and LOVE them. But, as stated above, they need to be cared for.

Well - I had a little improvement but not much. Only pumping about 15 times definitely helped. I was pumping too much and it was releasing the pressure. I was also filling it too full of fluid. It compresses the air (of course) not the fluid. But I'm still not completely sold that it's better to pump than trigger. I think I'll call tomorrow to exchange one of the foamers for the non-foaming version to see if I like it better.

I'll try it again tomorrow. Thanks for the help, Rich.

Is it working well for you? I made sure everything was tight.

I finally had a chance to try the foaming sprayer this morning and had some problems. I actually have two now since they sent a foaming sprayer with the gallon of Iron Remover I just received. I think I was suppsed to get the Multi-sprayer version but whatev... I tried both sprayers with Strip Wash this am. Filled them with water and 2 oz of Strip Wash. Pumped up about 25 times until the little button popped up and released some pressure. Started spraying and was immediately excited with the foam spray. Like snow. The problem is that it only lasted about 3 seconds and then it was squirting a stream. Pumped up again and still only got a few seconds of spray. Both sprayers were exactly the same story. I feel like I couldn't get enough pressure built up to have them spray for any length of time. It's entirely possible that I was doing something wrong. I know I had the top screwed down tight. Any ideas? As it looks now it's not good. I don't want to pump for 30 seconds and spray for 3 seconds.

I just used it on my flat vinyl with zero issues.

In my experience a month is pushing it. I save for two or three weeks tops.

Not sure if you're joking or not but I'll bite: Summer will not hurt your towels.

The recipe is on the bottle but I usually use about 2 fl oz of Rinseless Wash to 3 gallons of water.

You'll know them when you see them. Any dirt that gets into the Rinseless Wash bucket will "glob up" on the surface after a couple of weeks. It's pretty easy to blot it up with a towel and remove it before using the solution but if it's too much I just toss it out and start fresh.

I've gone several weeks without any problem whatsoever. I typically save mine until I need another rinseless wash and re-evaluate then. If I open it up and it has too many "floaties" I will dump it and make a new batch. It's great to have the left-over available for quick touchups between washes.

I used the Tire and Rubber cleaner on mine before using the Trim Coating. Used a pretty stiff brush. Worked great.

Sealant, glaze, wax. Don't listen to anyone else. (grin)

You've asked a lot of questions here and, really, the only way to answer most of them is "it depends". There are SO many variables involved that no-one can tell you how long any product or combo of products will last on your car. Your best bet is to do what most of us have done: Use the products and experiment for yourself. You're not going to hurt anything and you will probably come up with a combo and procedure that works best for you. That said - I use Wash & Wax and H2OGG on my F150 that sits outside and gets a lot of weather and dirt road time. I only wash every couple of weeks (maybe monthly) and have never had any buildup. The truck looks fantastic (for a little while). I use Liquid Paint Sealant and Americana on my Camaro - which is garage kept and only out when the weather is great. I use Rinseless Wash to keep it clean and top with another coat of Americana when I see that it is not beading in spots. Every year or so I will strip it and lay down another combo. If it gets too dirty for Rinseless (which is rare) I'll wash with Wash & Wax. I've been very happy with these procedures and I'm sure you will find one that works for you.

Perfectly normal.

I believe there are products that "dissolve" concrete but I've never used any. Might be worth a search...

Not a chance. Have you tried clay?

Actually - the wheel cleaner smells a little like Easter Eggs. The ones you find in the yard six months later....

I coated the steps on my F150. No problem at all. Much better than sVRT on the steps. That could be slick!

Is it just because the wash mitt becomes too heavy when loaded? I have had shoulder problems as well and understand the discomfort you're experiencing.. Any of the plush microfiber towels would work fine but you'll need to be sure to rinse it even more often than you do with the mitt because it won't hold the dirt as deeply. I really think you should consider a foam gun. This allows you to get a lot more soap on the car without having to carry it yourself. The combo of a foam gun snd a plush MF would work great.

I wash my h2o towels separate from other towels. I found that my other towels become less absorbent when washed with the h2o towels.

Oops! My mistake. It looks like the foaming and non-foaming pressurized spray bottles are completely different products.

There's a video on the retail site that shows Adam using this pressurized spray bottle with several different products. Non-foaming products. I'd be willing to bet that it's a different tip that causes the foaming action (like the tips in the foam guns). I agree - it would be nice to know for sure if these can be used for foaming and non-foaming applications. Maybe by just changing out the tip.

I don't think you can compare the two. The foam gun connects to your water hose and is designed to get your entire car soapy - more than once. This little bottle would need to be refilled a few times to cover your car. The pressure sprayer would work better for soaping smaller areas of the car or for other products like detail spray, waterless wash, APC, etc.I

I only spray the ON into the footwells and let the vehicle's circulations system dissipate it. I would not spray it directly on ANY surface that would have direct and extended contact with the passengers - especially children. Not saying the stuff is poison - I just use it more as an "Air Freshener" rather than for surface contamination. I think something like Fabreze is better for what you have in mind.
