Ricky Bobby Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Just wanted to post that I was skeptical about the 10" size of the wash pad until yesterday, until I used it for a traditional wash. I had an older Jumbo 11" pad in the bucket as well for the upper sections (I haven't had a 9" pad for a while now), and a 10". I didn't realize how cumbersome the 11" pad was, I mean you almost have to be guiding it with 2 arms or your forearm so it doesn't slip off the panels lol! The 10" is much more manageable for one hand washing use. Good call moving forward, consolidating 2 different wash pads into 1. mc2hill and ADL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Performance Auto Detailing Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Agreed, I don't do traditional washes really anymore, and when I do I typically use 1 bucket with multiple towels (The Perfect Wash method as I know that you know haha). But when I do a two bucket wash the 10" pads are the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I like the pad, but I LOVE the new Wash Wedge. Lighter and works just as well or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one bucket filled with water and shampoo (no need for grit guard) with as many microfiber towels as you need. No dirt is being reintroduced to the paint with this method.

Known as Garry Dean's "The Perfect Wash Method" To be honest, since I just got my Ryobi 1700 1.2gpm on Saturday, I won't be doing much traditional washes going forward. Maybe every now and then. Wheels/Tires I try to always go traditional on though, just because I like getting the barrels and back of spokes every time I wash. Just going to pre-rinse and foam the car, then either Perfect Wash rather quickly or just pull in the garage and do GDWM on the paint after doing wheels with a rinse and a bucket. If its a lazy Sunday I'll do the Wedge and Wash pads though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
