<span class='bbc_underline'>EF Power Wash+ and micro fiber wash mitt

I received my Power Wash+ yesterday along with my micro fiber wash mitt. I had about 3 weeks worth of grime & grit on my car (I could barely stand it), so I gave her a healthy rinse and Hi Intensity'd the wheels.

I poured an estimated 1 oz of concentrate into a 5 gallon buket and filled about 2/3 of the way - <strong class='bbc'>WOW[/b] lotsa suds!!

I dropped in my new wash mitt and pulled out a ton of water and suds. It sure does hold a lot!! First off, I noticed that the lubricity of the PW+ is quite high. It also dissolves dirt, stains & grime quite well.

I flipped over the mitt and scrubbed again. The mitt acts really well as a scrubber, as I did not need to apply much pressure. The mitt is lined with foam and some sort of cloth and sewn down the middle (part way) to provide finger pockets. The inner lining is smooth and a little difficult to get a grip with, but it may just be something to do with practice as my sheepskin mitt doesn't have that problem due to the roughness inside. The mitt seems quite nice and is a useful addition to my kit.

The Power Wash+ lived up to Holly-Marie's comments and then some. Although CMA included a sprayer head, the liquid is too thick to make use of it. PW+ is a blue colored gel that pours slowly, which makes it nice so that you don't pour out too much. I found that you really only need about an ounce per 3 to 5 gallons.

There was a light wonderful scent (that was being overpowered by a neighbors flowering bush) and more suds than I knew what to do with. What I liked is that the suds didn't go flat as I worked around. Adding more water or swirling around the bucket created more. Now I know that it's not suds that are the important part, but they do help suspend the dirt (IMHO). The PW+ removed bugs and leaf stains quite well. The only thing that it seemed to have problems with was tar.

They recently paved in my subdivision and there was more than enough left over to splatter my car (and everyone elses). I ended up using lots of sudsy water and my fingernail. That finally seemed to work.

I was really impressed with both products and will continue to use both regularly. At $8.95 for the PW+, I feel that it is a bargain (you'll get about 30 washes out of the 32 oz. bottle). The mf wash mitt is $15, but I feel is something that will last a long time and provide good cleaning without leaving behind lint (like chenille).
 
Great Review. As for all EF product, I am very pleased with the Clear Vision, and Clear Pearl. I do have problems with the Balck Opal though. I highly doubt I will get some more car detailing products until the start of the next detailing season. Darn, winter is coming up realy fast.
 
definintely not. Confirmed by the bottle label.



I was really impressed with it. It ended up raining about 2 hours after I finished and the next morning I had a lot fewer water spots than I expected.
 
Started out with the BB, overall a great device.. had all 4 email accounts running smoothly and it had great battery life.

I switched to the yuppy phone in June (3Gs) and its by far the best device I have had, im really never bored. Battery life sucks buts I live with it. Email still runs as smooth as on BB. I just like having the iphone because you take so much with you, ipod, videos, web browser and it all runs properly... BB web is better now but can touch iphone.
 
I have the new BB Storm 9530. A decision on the device should be based on what your primary useage will be and where. The Blackberry with Verizon has better overall network coverage and a much wider 3G network than anyone else that I am aware of. It is also an international phone which can be really handy if you travel. Mine worked extremely well in the boonies in the Philippines when locals couldn't get a signal with their phones. The camera is good, the video is pretty good, the voice recorder works great and of course it is an email workhorse.

If you are into games and other apps there are more for the Apple and probably will be for some time to come.
 
1. Palm Pre
2. Blackberry
3. iPhone

iPhone is a great "toy", it's not a quality business smart phone, the other two are. Again, if the whole smart phone thing is secondary, then the iPhone is probably for you.
 
I am mortgage broker. Won't be doing anything fancy internationally but just want good reception and email capability. Not sure I'm crazy about the touch screen. Always just had a flip phone so I am not used to a bb or Iphone. For business purposes, sounds like a bb is the way to go?????????????
 
BlackBerry Curve, Wife has BlackBerry World, can do anything in business you need to do, and never has problems.

When I had to go to Texas a month ago for some family business, I took my laptop and loaded Tetherberry on my laptop and my Blackberry, and my Blackberry then became my "modem" for my laptop and I got out great to the internet in a house that didnt have anything but analog phones.. And I still got all my email on the BlackBerry and my laptop.

For me its more of a business tool, and I like that I can download my entire address list off my laptop into it and using a program from Blackberry, the two keep each other's address books current.

And having Verizon as our carrier means that you are not going to be alot of places where they dont have decent signal strength.

I have had cellular phones for about 20 years or so, and worked for AirTouch/Verizon for almost that long, so I have a little insight into the technology. While the iPhone looks cool and all, I dont really care to be playing with it all that time, and if battery life sucks, then for sure I cant have it. I am used to having it on 24/7 x 365, so battery life has to be lithium-ion or better with long life.

Hope you can find the best tool for your particular needs.

Too high tech for me! I still have a Motorola Razr!:cornut:

LMAO! I still have one of those still sitting in my desk at home....along with like 4 other phones. :D


I have the iPhone 3G and love it but lately it has been dropping call a lot, and honestly that would be my only complaint. I don't think the battery life is that bad but I'm not gaming on it all day like some people. Used as just a phone an checking email it will last 2 days...though I simply charge nightly and have never had it go dead on me over the period of one day.

If Verizon picks up the iPhone next year I will switch from AT&T in a heartbeat!
 
I have a BB and the wife has an iPhone. My BB supports our enterprise software very well and I find it is very versatile for my business environment but slow.

The iPhone on the other hand is phenomenal for it's app's and it supports her email functions very well (multiple email accounts). MUCH more entertaining and is much faster on the internet for her.

I would personally prefer to have the iPhone and am confident it can probably do everything my BB can do and might even be faster for what I use my phone/PDA for.

(remind me to make an appeal to the company Monday!)
 
I'm getting the BB Storm 2, my work uses BB service for e-mail, and at&T e-mail push works decent, but if my laptop is rebooted, there goes my e-mail. If that wasn't an issue I'd do an iphone for sure.
