    Sam's club microfiber towels?

    Anybody using these for anything? Been thinking about a 30 pack for Gary Dean style ONR washes. Could they still scratch if they only touch the paint when they are clean and wet? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

    products for carpet cleaning

    I need to know what products would work well for cleaning badly soiled carpet. Both chemical and what to use (brushes etc). Are the brushes for the PC worth the investment for carpet or is it just as easy to do it by hand?

    hydro-tech pads

    Anyone using these with a PC? Opinions? It seems like they would be a nice 2 pad solution. Will they work well with a 105/205 combo? How many of each pad would someone need to complete a large vehicle in one session? Im thinking about ordering 3 of each color in 4 and 5 inch sizes (12 pads total)

    classifieds suggestion

    Why not make the classified section a regular part of the forums instead of something separate. I think it would be more accessible and more used and would work better for folks looking to buy or sell. This is how it works on every other forum Im on (MANY) and it seems to work well.
