      I bought mine at ADS. It came with a 32oz bottle of Super Soap and a Meguiars wash mitt.

              Thanks for the info Nick.

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                  I think Gilmour had a production problem where they stopped producing the foam guns temporarily.

                  Try detailers domain: http://www.detailersdomain.com/gilmo...eriiquart.aspx I think they have it in stock.

                      Just like Tuck is saying...I wash using the same method as him for the most part.

                      I foam the car down as a presoak to lubricate everything and then I wash panel by panel with a single bucket + gritguard + 1 oz of soap in that bucket. I foam each new panel again before washing it and also spray the wash mit before touching that panel.

                      (BTW, I got mine from Autogeek)

                      Love it






                      As you can see, Nick's is a bit more foamy where mine is a bit more soapy. The gilmour has a dial where you can adjust how the product sprays so you get it exactly how you like it. I just prefer it to be a bit soapier rather than foamier for the initial spray because it seems to allow the dirt to slide off the car a bit better before I get to washing. Just a personal preference.

                        I might have too..but i'm going to wait a bit longer to get it from ADS when they get them in as long as they ship to canada..if they don't then i'll get it from eshine.

                        I'm not abig fan of eshine...they are a sponser on fourm i'm part of and when i ordered some stuff from them they told me to pay for the stuff then leave a note when buying that i am part of the fourm and my username is and they will give me the discount..and they never bothered to do it so i try my best not to deal with them...

                          Unfortunately ADS will not ship to Canada. They used to, but not a chance any longer.

                            Just out of interest, how long does the foam stay on the car?

                            Does it slide off / disappear in a matter of minutes, or does it cling on there for a while?
