Yep, makes me want to get to work on my own shit.
Get that GS spit shined up for Griff
The GS needs nothing in the detail department. The rest of the fleet needs some :wub:

Thanks brohams. It was a lot work but worth it. Wish I had a real camera to for better photos.

I cleaned up the summers and put them back on yesterday. Put C2V3 on them and they're glistening even though it was partly cloudy yesterday. Put VRP on once I got home.

I've been watching a lot of his reviews lately and was going to get the karcher k1700. I still don't understand how a plastic bottle and nozzle is nearly $100 though.

I found MTM sells a set with the same 50' hose, swiveling gun, wand, and foam cannon for $264. Maybe I'm missing something but the same stuff from him is like $300+

OG isn’t exactly the cheapest, yeah.

It’s nearly $100 because a loot of people are willing to pay $100 for them :derp:

Not detailing exactly, but figured this was a good place to ask...

I noticed a chip on one of the exposed door hinges on the Jeep, and the metal underneath already has some surface rust on it. Best course of action? Guessing clean the rust off somehow and then just grab a paint touch up pen? Anything else I need to do to prevent more rust or spreading?

I think the concrete dust from the place next to my work scratched my windows when I put them down.

Obsessed Garage foam cannon has been a bust so far. Doesn't fit either of my pressure washers because the QC fitting is some weird size and shape.

Can you swap out the QC fitting?
Probably. I took my grinder to it and it fits (I think) well enough. I just don't have super foamy soap, just some Swissvax car gel.

I have a Ryobi and it's a proprietary fitting. I ended up getting their foam cannon, and it works really well.

So I figured as much a out the Ryobi but my roommates Karcher fits all the Ryobi stuff too. Can you buy a threaded Ryobi fitting?

Question on the foam cannon. What is the point exactly vs. a bucket of suds?

I don't need a bucket laying around the garage. I also covered the entire car in a minute.

Getting the pressure washer out means I can spray a lot of dirt off, especially in the wheels well and under the body. Soaping, washing, and rinsing all at once saves time, and during the summer when a car will dry in 5 min, it's nice to keep it wet until I dry it all to prevent water spots.

I can't wait to go home and wash my car again.

Any tips on using the leather cleaner and conditioner I bought? I think they're from chemical guys. I got the brush and microfiber pad too.

Does anyone have anything to say about Car Covers? Best brand, best composition, "don't use plague of the earth" etc?
