whoa... Hold on there young fella, where'd ya get the reset? Haven't had the pleasure of seeing this one. The snow soap I like, I use it every few months if I want to strip whatever's left of what I put on her a few months before, then start fresh.

yes sir... the IXSS smells like it wants to be alone. ... yes there is a faint iron x smell before, during and after using the Snow Soap.. i smelled it in the garage hrs. later after using it and didn't realize i didn't have the top screwed on tight, that stuff is strong.

Just used Reset for the first time... applied via foam cannon and then wiped with sheepskin wash mitt... incredibly slick & rinsed away very easily. I'm impressed.

so you're giving Reset 2 thumbs up? what type of foam did it produce from the cannon. i.e., thick and clingy or thin and runny??? oh, thanx for the info...

It was nice, thick foam, but it did not cling as well as others... the real difference was just how slick it was when i was washing. It will be used regularly for maintenance that is for sure.
