I will say they sell some good stuff but a lot of it is overkill for me. I am not that obsessed, I have too many other things going on in my life.
SMH, this is the type of nonsense that is plaguing the detailosphere.

Gotta fund those 911/Bronco R payments somehow?

These are going to the Cars and Bids/ Bring a Trailer crowd who probably will use this station maybe once a year or lifetime.

Nothing foolish about it IMO, people spend money on what is of value to them. Plenty of people think that amount of money I/we spend on cars is totally foolish too.

Power to them.

Do you think a person purchasing a $6500 wash station is washing their own automobiles though?

Just food for thought.

If they value their garage setup and it brings them joy, I see nothing wrong with it. People have serious home detailing stations in incredible garages with lifts and $2,500 Kranzle pressure washers...everybody has different things they value.

People detail their cars as a hobby, we do it because we enjoy it. I realize for you its a chore but its not a chore at all for a lot of people.

Also, it's not uncommon for people to have a detailing business in the garage. They would benefit from an upgraded set up.

So being the resident hobby detailer who has shown the community how to go above and beyond to meticulously protect, clean, and maintain vehicles, leased vehicles nonetheless, why did you dismiss the purchase of this station?

Because my enjoyment of detailing or my garage doesn’t rise to that level lol. I have a $150 pressure washer not a $2,500 one, but I don’t fault people for buying anything they enjoy.

If you aren’t interested in detailing you don’t need to participate in this thread. Your attitude about it isn’t appreciated. Nobody is telling you that this should be your thing, please don’t ridicule me for it being my thing.

If you think asking questions and having a healthy open discussion here breaks forum rules, go ahead apply to be a mod.
Until then, don’t police my posts or where I can post.

I mentioned that I had never found a leather cleaner I really liked, this seems quite good. It has a little bit of conditioner/oils in it and the leather doesn’t feel like it needs to be dressed after use:

That's more than I used to pay for a bottle of Jim Beam.
I'd love a shot if you're pouring. Haha

I'll get the shot glasses for everyone! Lol

Besides finding a touch free wash option or a local detailer that I can trust, I have begun carrying these wipes on long trips. Spring and Summer, the high impact areas take a beating.

Anyone got any quick wipes type solution? I would carry a bottle of ONR or other liquid products but hot car is a recipe for disaster.

Flame Suit on:
Armor all seems to sell a lot of F1/Red Bull labeled wipes of all varieties, but...their history is what makes it an easy pass.
