Received my karcher foamer attachment last week and played around with it a bit, not as "clingy" of foam as I had hoped. I was using 1 fluid ounce of CG maxi suds to 10 oz water (bottle held about 11oz). It was quite sudsy, but it all ran off fairly quickly and didn't give me the several minute...

I have the edge 2000 adapter and the 8" blue and green waffle pads. I have used them exactly 1 time, and am a rotary newb, so I'm not sure if I would prefer something else or not. Question 1 - how do you clean a waffle pad? I see everything refers to spinning the pad and applying the...

I have two very dirty cars because I am a disgrace to autopia and haven't washed my cars in.. well, let's just say quite awhile. Young kids, busy job, yada yada yada, whatever my reasons, it hasn't been done. I want to get them all clean now so I can put some fresh coats of sealer on before the...

Searched the forums for rotary polishing of glass and didn't end up feeling very certain on whether or not this would be a good idea. I'm embarassed about the amount of products I have recently ordered and not yet used, so I'd prefer not to make *another* order for some glass polish at the...

My electronic speed controlled rotary from HF (#90820) arrived last week. It is definitely smaller/lighter than the old $25 rotary I had from them. I'm excited to use it :) The Edge 2000 green and blue waffle pads arrived as well. I was intending to go over my wife's car with same CG AIO...

Are there any particular considerations for applying product to a waffle pad versus a traditional flat/concave pad? In the threads I have read through it is clear that some prefer to apply directly to the car, and some prefer to apply to the pad. I'm not certain, but it seemed that the more...

I have some CG AIO and butter wax arriving today. Next week blue and green Edge 2000 waffle pads will be arriving. I'll be starting with my 2004 WRX wagon, black. The paint is in good shape, with only minor swirls and defects. Next (different day most likely) will be my wife's 2000 Sentra...

Hello, I have a newbie question that has not been fully alleviated by the reading of the forums I have done so far. Note that I want to stick with a very simple paint upkeep regiment, I'm not shooting for the optimum level of car care that many Autopians expertly administer. I would like...

Yes, I am a cheapskate to the extent that I want the best price for the quality level that I desire. :) I have an 04 WRX, and a friend just bought an 06. I'm hoping to be efficient and choose products that I can split with my friend for our two cars. Both cars are black. I have just...
