[MotorCity Honda]

Well since I seem to have a few threads of products on DA (not affiliated to them simply passing along) I have decided to make a running thread..

Fist on the block are some chemicals the owner is asking people to make reasonable offers.. the prices listed are what he paid for them

I want one too but I'm concerned it won't hook up to my gas powered off brand pressure washer. The ones I've seen are for the Karcher electric model.

Side note: If those MF towels in the link above are decent that's quite a buy!

I've got the refillable spray cans.....they didn't work out as expected. I'd save my $$ on those.

From HF or another company?

I was JUST referred to the Chemical Guys / smart Wax pump sprays (pic is below)... Have been told they work really well and better than the HF offering

[RTexasF]

That is like the one in the Wet Paint I sent you and works great. The ones from HF are extremely difficult to manage the amount of air going in them because they require an air bottle or compressor.....seems like it's always too much or too little.

Ahhh, yess It is the EXACT same bottle!!

Another thing I was thinking is that the HF bottle is metal.. EEEEKKK!!!

For those that my wonder why I bought so many meg's slide lock brushes here are some pics.. as you can see with one of these brushes used at various positions it can be used for a multitude of tasks...

Get em' while they are available for $1.99... since they are discontinued the likely hood of finding them let alone at this deal is slim!!!

Considering that it comes with the Edge pads and adapters that is a good buy!!! That gives you sixteen pads since they are reversible.

Yup, quite the deal...

If a flex wasn't my next polisher in cue to buy I would snatch one of these up in a flash!

Ok the microfibers arrived today and I have to say.. These are the MOST PLUSH, THICK towels to ever touch my paint... I highly recomend them

very nice! too bad they aren't 15.90$ like they were fall of 07' ...shipping isn't the cheapest either... but still, compared to buying far inferior MF towels at B&M shops...this is a deal!


MC, sorry to be such an ignorant detailing idiot, but ... the 'multitude of uses' for the slide lock brush... what would be say 3 of those uses(especially with using the variable brush lock system, why not one set length brush?)..i have a few in mind, like for crevices between seats, and a few crannys here and there..but what makes the brushes indispensable and worth ordering ? i'm intrigued by your pics and want to order but need a bit more to go on...thanks!

yeah, $16 was a super steal... .. I would have spent my arse buying single towels of equal or less quality!!!
No worries..

Some of my uses I can think of:
Removal of wax from panel gaps
removal of wax from emblem edges/gaps
face of rims - perfect for the "lip" area and lug nut area
small (some time sensitive) areas of engine to brush in all purpose cleaner
Dust from interior vents

CD2 is an engine dressing that has acrylic that when cured forms a hard nice shinny finish

Why does he want it so badly = Because it's the BOMB!!!

FYI it's not near the detailing supplies it's always located near the engine degreasers link Gunk.. where did you look when you went to your locak AZ?

Also try Murrays.. all else fails I can see what I can do

[krazyfiend]

I tried another Autozone I had forgot about.. and imagine that... one bottle sitting in front of the line of Black Magic Engine Detailer .

They guys working insisted Black Magic now owned the formulation, I just shook my head and said...well I'd buy up all the CD-2 you had if it was around. Another employee overheard our conversation & came over, he guided me over a couple aisles away by where the choke/brake cleaners were, ...they were very tip-top shelf behind some other products, 4 more bottles ..all dusty as heck!

5 bottles total, 4.99$ a piece...score! thanks MCH for getting me to look into this product and also allowing me to find out about DetailingBliss (search on google for cd2 actually yielded a thread where you contributed)..its a great forum too!

Sweet glad you scored that!!

More CD2 for RTF.. I will be going to my AZ tomorrow and I'll give you a call bud

A couple things you should know pior to usage

- cd2 is not an all in one - you will need to clean the bay prior to app
- cd2 is an acrylic based polymer so, use it like you would a sealant ie: surface must be clean and dry, do not allow surface to get wet prior to curing

on a newer car, 8th gen, a few months of ownership that Ive kept it pretty darn clean under the engine bay with 303 aerospace protectant (i know, not cheap lol...but it works well too & im buying in bulk the next go around) .... is a degreaser like Gunk needed ? ...would I be fine to apply the cd2 after a QD wipe and dry down session on the engine bay?

On the mercedes, im planning a nice gunk degrease session for it (being cognizant that there is a plastic debris/aero plate below to catch oil and muck so Ill remove that to let all the crap drip down to the ground)...after getting the car warmed up but not too hot ...leaving the engine bay shut 20 minutes after application...then a nice wipe down w/ terry cloth, and apply the CD2 ...let sit, and wipe that down slightly if any excess is seen or too much glistening is occurring for my liking.

thx again mch , i hope you don't get any more accumulation of snow this wknd, looks like flurrys and cold temps down here tomorrow.

Krazy I think you will be fine if you bay is maintained.. give it a shot.. I have never used it with an all purpose cleaner used first so i can answer if that will affect product bond/cure results
