TGGRRR (Ali) Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Posted July 15, 2013 Right you are. Darryl used a foam gun to apply the Adam's Car Shampoo to the car. He sells all the products and equipment too. Oooh that sounds fun! Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Odds and Ends Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 and NO, that is not Ernie being detailed. Ernie is parked in the background and that MCS R56, even though a BRG II with the same spoked wheels, has a black roof and no bonnet stripes. Here are some finished pics of our guinea pig/test/demo car for the day. Sorry the sun was going down so no bright sunny pics, but for those who were there, I thought you might like to see the final outcome! - Darryl

Glad to see that you took the blue, painter's tape off of the bonnet. :laugh: Ernie McStreet's facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/erniemcs.street

SneakyBaron Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 You wouldn't happen to know the water:soap ratio he used would he? Guess I'll be coming out to this in the fall It wasn't a whole lot of soap. I'll look at the bottle when I get home and tell ya what it says if he doesn't reply by then.

Guess I'll be coming out to this in the fall For your wash bucket, you will use approx 1 oz in a 5 gallon bucket. For loading up the foam gun, there is a dial on the top that allows you to control the ratio. I usually have mine on the "1" setting which is 20:1 and run 100% shampoo. I probably use too much shampoo but I like it foamy and know where to get more when I run out...lol Plus it smells great! The foam gun holds 32oz and I've cut it with water by up to half and it still produces quite a bit of soapy mixture and I run the dial at "0" (10:1) for a thinner solution. If I can help you out with anything, please get in touch. - Darryl
