    Been using your product for years. Never been disappointed. I'm a Master Detailer at a Car dealership and we use Car Brite product. But I'll always recommend Meguiars.

      Meguiar’s is one of the few things left that seems to be passed down from father to son. Never regretted a single Meguiar’s product.

    I've been using the wash/wax soap in my foam gun for a while now, it works great and leaves a shiny protective finish, my favorite combo!

    I pressure was the car 1st, apply Meguiars Gold Class car wash with foam cannon, wipe down the car with a microfiber mitt then rinse off with regular garden hose nozzle. Then dry using a few clean microfiber towels. For protection I use the Turtle Wax Seal N Shine applied after drying.

      If you pressure wash first youre pushing dirt onto the paint causing micro scratches. Use foam first.

      @meguiars  3 роки тому +1

      The best we make for this is our M39 Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner (link below). If it is a highly textured plastic it can also help to use it with a brush for better agitation.

      The ratio is 5:1 which means (5 parts water and one part product). 👍

      We do not sell a foam cannon in the US. There are a few good brands out there, Karcher to name one.

      Assume what you mean is ph balanced and will not strip wax or a coating. Yes, it is safe on a ceramic coating.

    The karcher adapter does not connect to the Karcher K2 washer as it’s advertised to.
    Spent an hour trying to connect the adapter and finally gave up. I found many reviews from people with the same issue.
    Do not buy this kit if you own the K2 washer.

    I use a foam cannon for extra lubrication. I don't waste my time with buckets.

    • @neometalx9
      @neometalx9 2 роки тому +1

      does the foam from the foam cannon have to feel soapy when touched? I just bought a foam cannon and it is foaming decently, but when I touch the foam it does not feel soapy, maybe very slightly.. when i used buckets, I made sure it was soapy to touch, but maybe then I added a lil too much soap? not sure......
