Spring Detail - Day 1 + Nanoskin Autoscrub review
Decided to get started on my spring detailing today. First up was my new foam cannon and pressure washer. Awesome! Did a foam coat, let it sit and run for 5 minutes then rinsed off, foamed again and washed lightly with my wash kit before final rinse. Check out the awesome foam coverage...
After body and wheel rinse, I brought out the Raggtopp cleaner then after that was done and the whole car was dried, I used Raggtopp sealer for the soft top. Next up was another new addition to the tool chest...the Nanoskin Autoscrub. Since buying the car in Nov, I have not had the chance to clay my car and it did have a lot of rail dust and other surface contaminants. For those who don't clay or have never, after your next wash, put a plastic bag over your hand and rub it over your paint. You will feel all the little bumps...rail dust and other gunk embedded in your paint. Until now you had one choice, claying your car which is what I have always done. Saw something over the winter called Nanoskin Autoscrub and bought the 6inch diameter hook and loop pad for my DA polisher. I followed advice that I had read and started with it on my windshield to break it in and then moved on to the paint. This disk is a polymer based pad that is VERY fine and designed to replace claying. I spent a couple hours using the pad (with the Rickard's clay lube...didn't use the Nanoskin lube) and my gosh, what a different. Unbelievable really. I will never clay again! Paint is now smooth as a baby's bottom! Tomorrow I start with swirl removal then on to polish, sealer, then eventually some new DodoJuice wax I picked up as well.

What kind of soap are you using for the foam cannon - I picked one up as well but not getting near as much suds and I've played with the settings.
Also, where did you pick up said soap in Canada ? |

I bought the Riccardo. Love it. I also picked up a Coleman pressure washer as my older Karcher did not put out enough pressure. I LOVE this pressure washer...unique design, all metal wands, quick change tips, and low price. I also bought some quick release adapters so I can pop the foam cannon onto the trigger to foam then pop it off and the wand on for rinsing. Really easy.
Also, it appears I did buy the CG HoneyDew from eShine and not Autogeek. Mixing up my orders. |

I've actually been trying to decide between their Maxi-Suds II ~SUPER SUDS SHAMPOO- or the HoneyDew Snow Foam that you mentioned. Any experience with the Maxi suds ? |

No experience yet with the Maxi Suds but I did order a small bottle of it as well. I plan to try it on the next wash to see. I do know most I have read prefer the HoneyDew but to each their own. |

Thanks for the offer, I might take you up on that. I was just going to put in an order for the HoneyDew on eShine but it looks like they don't have it in stock ATM. Guess I'll have to wait on that for now.

I just put up a post in the Canada forum about a possible detailing day in souther ontario. If its a go, we could put together a bulk order to eShine or even meet down there!
