Looks pretty awesome Jack, let us know. So it just attaches to my pressure washer basically?

Yes, easy as that. The key is to get good soap. A high quality soap will thicken up through that thing almost as thick as shaving cream.

So, you use one?

I paid $26 a month to have unlimited car washes at the car wash. That place foams up real nice

Yes. Only one of the four cars in the driveway (my wife's, cause I know my place) is worth keeping real nice these days, so I don't use it as much as I used to, but I still like it and think it does the best job.

Good soap and not expensive, but you will use a lot for each wash. Maybe 4 washes for each bottle.

Yeah I'm looking forward to having it. It's for my wife's car too. :SIB

Although I just got my 04 Deville detailed with the clay bar treatment and all and it looks like new except for 2 door dings, so I'll probably use it on that too.

Do you blow dry it for the 'no touch' car wash too? I doubt I go that route, I'll just hand dry them with the microfiber towels.

That's what I ordered. I got a gallon.

Sucker still looks good for an 04. 14 years and never a mechanical problem. The only car I ever had for more than 5 years. 126K miles.

I'm gonna try it. I don't think my electric one is strong enough though.

Microfiber towels for me.

I've done the clay bar myself, good results, but lotta fucking work.
