ONR'd the car 1st time this year

LOL Chuckmotor, great ZFX line!



I am with carguy here, I cannot even go to Vons or Albertsons (or even Michael's crafts store!) without looking at detail supplies. Heck I found some at a college bookstore! LOL
 
Just went to Walmart few hours ago to check out new DVD releases. Honestly I had no intention to buy any car care products but still ended up buying these. The worst part is I already have these (except I am currently using a different nozzle with less settings and a bigger Chenille pad with cotton logo on it) so I'm sort of just stocking them up. Well, I did buy Fast & furious ;)

Hey it's a lot better than drugs, crime, floozies, etc. And you end up with a great looking car. Well, I gatta go by Wal Mart for some, lets see sugar, yea that's it sugar! :D
 
Hey, wait a minute.....I've been detailing my car just to try to attract the floozies! Did I miss something? BTW, I've been using 100% cotton chinele wash pads made by TurtleWax. I picked up a couple of the Viking after reading some posts, but to be honest, the cotton yarn on the TurtleWax product is much thicker and longer. I was dissappointed with the Viking pads. I do love Vikings foam applicators.
 
Where are you finding these 100% cotton wash pads and wash mitts???? I went to Autozone, Advanced Auto Parts, Pep Boys, Sears, and Wal-mart today and I didn't see anything that said 100% cotton!!
 
They prob ran out since Viking is going to discontinue them. I did not find it at Autozone/Kragen around here either, but found it in Walmart. That smaller wash pad in my pic is not that good (too small, actually I bought it to wash my lower panels). The bigger Wash Mitt is much better.



DK still has some of the wash mitt left. I thought you knew? E-Mail him and you can stop looking! :D
 
I might do the AutoZone and Target thing. Looks like Wal-mart will have to be added to the list. I should have raided Trak Auto when they were closing all the stores up here. :D
 
yeah f1 im a massive and i mean massive fan and have been for about ten years now of michael schumacher - i konw some people dont like him but he is u have to admit a good driver - look how he turned the tables at ferrari - when they had berger & alsei they were always loosing -
 
It is a very rare instance that I can tell anyone here something that I learned / discovered becasue most members abilities are LIGHT Years ahead of me. However, My desire to stay warm (In NY) and keep my car clean has led me to find a glove that I think anyone who washes the car in winter would like to know about.

I purchased a pair of Professional window washing gloves with a velcro closure. I don't know how long they will last, but when they wear out I am going to get another pair! My hands did not stay 100% dry. Very little moisture getting in but the warmth from you hand warms up the moisture and it feel "heated". had to get through 3-5 minutes of, on man these suck, OH Well! Worked out excellent.

The ONR worked out OK as well but I can't keep feeiing that I am scratching the ____T out of the paint. After the first pannel I mixed up a 2nd bucket slightly weaker and did a double bucket ONR wash. BTW does the dirt stick to your wash media like glue? Could not rinse it out at all.

Here are some crappy cell pics:

Jeff,
That is exactly how your wash mitt should look after an ONR wash. Just follow the instructions on the label, and you will not scratch the paint (provided you have a wash media with no dirt imbedded in it, and you use at least 1 grit guard).

The gloves look like a great find. I am in NJ and the ONR wash I did last week was pretty darn cold, so, they could have come in handy.
