always an awesome job
Question for you: why do you guys like to use Griot's polisher vs portable cable?

Detailers Domain · 07-30-2012, 02:40 PM

have you used one yet? I'm guessing not....more power better correction ability.

Great work as always Phil

Just placed an order for the new wheel woolies, can't wait to try them out

W/// · 08-01-2012, 08:21 AM

Been following your threads for a while, now finally got my own foam gun. I was wondering if you can give me a tip on how to make that kind of thick foam like that? I think I followed the instructions properly, but the foam came out really runny. Not to mention I went through way more than I thought I would. The place I got it from said a 16oz bottle is good for 30+ washes?? Or is that for hand wash?

Thanks for your help!

Autogeek Quart Foamaster Foam Gun and 1Z Einszett Exclusiv Gloss Shampoo. Sorry, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to detailing. Always been a 2 bucket wash kind of guy

Detailers Domain · 08-01-2012, 10:30 PM

haven't used the ag foam gun sorry.
but the gilmour foam gun we carry we use it on setting e. how much soap did you put into the container?

from my experience the exclusive did not generate much in suds over others we have used.
