Hmmm wonder what Hoes and Strippers Scent smells like, a hint of fish??

I couldn't even tell you how many different drying towels I've tried and I'm still searching for the perfect towel. I even have the Master Blaster dryer which works fairly well but usually I can't get the whole car dried before water spots are left behind. I'm currently using Platinum Pluffle (say that 5 times fast) drying towel which I'm happy with so far.

For cleaning the wheels, I use Wheel Woolies which I highly recommend. These work great to get in the spokes and the inner rim (they come in 3 different sizes).


Another little gadget that I really love is the Master Blaster Sidekick which I use to dry the wheels. This thing works fantastic to clean all the water out of the wheels and any nooks and crannies in the car (like the stupid water hoarding side mirrors).

The Master Blaster Sidekick blows air with a lot of force, works fantastic.

I bought it on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Metro-Vacuum-...aster+sidekick

That sucks, I have to work on Aug 14th. The cars & coffee in Ann Arbor is on the third Saturday of the month. The next one is on August 20th at Zingerman's Roadhouse. I do show my car even though it's bone stock so I'm sure it gets no interest. The last one I went to some guy brought a supercharged E36 M3 in Estoril Blue, pretty cool car.

Master Blaster Sidekick is more for drying smaller items (wheels, mirrors, etc) rather than the whole car. I use it to dry wheels and get all the water out of the side mirrors.

If you want the full size car dryer, Master Blaster makes an 8hp blower that will easily blow all the water off a car (they're a few videos on YouTube showing this blower in action). It's pricey at $300+ but it definitely works. I have one as well as the mini and they both work great, especially if the car has a good wax/sealant. It makes it so you never touch the car with any towels which could cause swirls/scratches.

Very nice but for 3 bills? i'm better getting a leaf blower like what other guys use. but it sure would be a nice piece hanging in my garage! are you using a foam canon at all? i don't want anything too fancy or too expensive as all it's going to do is cover the car completely with soap?! i was thinking of this for $59 or just the Canon for $50?

Before I moved to a new location that doesn't have good access to a hose, I used a foam cannon with a pressure washer. It worked great, coating the car with a thick foam like you see in the videos/pictures. I have an MTM Hydro foam cannon (pictured below), goes for ~$55.

The unit you posted looks like it's a foamer that attaches to a normal garden hose. Those work OK but don't produce anywhere near the thick amounts of foam that a foam cannon that attaches to a pressure washer does. You need the high pressure provided by the pressure washer to get the thick foam.

Yeah my stuff arrived today



Here's the leather cleaner and conditioner:


And the Long Horse Hair Interior & Upholstery Brush I'll be using to finally clean and condition my leather seats the right way!


The Ferret Wheel Brush is going to be great so I can finally clean the barrels. Also helps getting in between my spokes and not bashing my fingers anymore


Yes! That wonderful scent of Hawt sweaty Hoe's & Strippers in my car and glitter everywhere! All that's missing is a disco ball!



For my wheels after i seal them with Dr Beasley's Sealer and after each wash I can use the Matte Detailer Spray Sealant to clean them up. I was using Meguiar's Detailer but it would make my wheels kinda shiney/glossy instead of a matte finish.


and for applying any of the waxes and sealants I'll use these free applicator pads I got from Chemical Guys! Also, that's the Cloud 9 extra large Microfiber Drying Towel underneath it!

Holy Sh$tballs! I thought you were joking about the Stripper Scent. You're having a lend of me aren't you, cos there's not actually a product sold by that name let alone a scent to remind you of skanky hoe's??

If it's real then it must have been developed for guys who need to explain the real reason why their ride smells of cheap perfume after a night out with the lads, right??!! Don't answer that

Go get yourself a electric pressure washer. I have this one from Lowes:

http://www.lowes.com/pd/Greenworks-2...a-bb455f6cbe4e

It works great for the car, I race off road on dirt bikes and it am able to clean it with this electric washer as well.

The same company sells a foam sprayer that will attach to the end of it for $20. It works amazing.

http://www.lowes.com/pd/Greenworks-H...ator/999980062

Its really nice to be able to use a high pressure washer without hearing a engine running the whole time and also worrying about having fuel around to feed it.

Oh thanks for the recommendation! $199 that's actually a pretty good deal and for $20 you get the soap Canon as well

Very nice arsenal there. I recently bought the chemical guys microfiber cleaner and worked very well. It cleaned my fibers and left a hint of fruit smell.



I also bought two 32oz bottles to dilute the degreaser and the wheel cleaner (diablo gel). Diablo wheel cleaner has a gum smell which is kinda cool.



Let us know how the stripper scent smells :P
