Honeydew Snow Foam is good stuff.

It's what I am using in this article: How to Implement a Foam Lance into your Wash Routine

I barely found out the patent expired and they could be legally purchased in the USA. I've been wanting to try them for 6 years now. It'll be a few weeks until I have time to test them out on a car.

One thing that surprised me is that when it arrived the clay bars were not individually sealed like other brands. There was just a sheet of plastic on each side to prevent them from sticking to each other.

i wasn't supposed to open the box that Fed Ex dropped off... I didn't know, she never said not to open it. anyway, got some stuff in today via wifey... Blackfire Total Eclipse wheel and tire cleaner, a syringe of my fave OC 2.0, and some yellow foam app pads. never realize you need the app pads until you go looking for them and not have them.

^Just a few things from Detailed Image Some for me, some for customers.


^Was surprised with a nice sample kit from Modesta USA. Looking forward to trying their coating out to see how it compares to Finest.

we sure go through tons of rags, see those WW drying towels. You're going to like that Mr. Pink if this is your first time using it. Modesta coating, def need a review on that . My son ordered some Hydro 2 and some other stuff for me. See you have some nice go to products.

The Mr. Pink, Wash Mitt, & Optimum Detailer are actually all being given away as part of a "Gift Giveaway" that I did for Facebook fans on Black Friday. To be honest, I didn't really love Mr. Pink when I tried it right when it came out. I'll stick to my Citrus Wash, Honeydew Snow Foam, and OCW.

I always buy WW drying towels when I place an order - they're so useful. I think I've got about 20 of them now

You'll enjoy the HydrO2... it is just fun to use
