The foam gun we use is a unit from Autogeek.com made for a pressure washer. It works awesome, but is a little pricy. Worth it IMO if you have a nice black car or wash frequently. Not necessary, but makes washing even more fun. Search our threads on autopia.org for pics of the foam gun in action. We probably mention it a lot in our threads.

And about the tags, you are right! Always remove tags!

Wow, I'm humbled! Thank you all for the comments!

The drying towel I found at a Western Auto store while in PR. They were on special. They looked very thick and fluffy, and though why not try them. I washed them a few times before using them to make sure they would not leave lint, and they were good to go. I don't remember the brand, will have to look when I'm back in PR.

wouldnt polish with sunglasses on though!!

[autolavish]

@boyracernbr1 The sunglasses are a MUST! Working in the tropics and looking in the suns reflection for defects is terrible for the eyes! I have a pair of Cat 5 welding glasses that fit like sunglasses. I use them when polishing and inspecting using high powered LED lights. In these videos the cameras have UV filters, which makes it look not as bright as the day actually was. Sunglasses FTW!

Nice video I am going to add it to my detailing properly video thread in Modded Mustangs.com for the guys to see how to wash properly via TBM. I also see your using the Peaks Premium Ultra Plush Drying Microfiber. Its a great microfiber and for the price it really cant be beat. Danny from DB.

@autolavish Hi Jacob. Really enjoy your videos on proper car care techniques, please keep up the excellent work! I have a question - how did you wash the drying towel before initial use? Was it a microfiber waffle weave? What method did you use to was them?

Best regards,

Jason
