Lol. I've let 4 weeks go by without washing my car before, as long as it doesn't rain or condensation ruins the clean look. Haha

LOL I was going to say, how is it that you can recommend car wash products when as far as I can recall, you've washed your car all of 2 times...

I'm seeing mixed reviews online.

Gilmour Foam Master II from Amazon. I would also look into the Gilmour Hose Quick Release fittings. Makes life way easier.

Other than some generational differences and bottle sizes, they are all the same. You can look at the one that Chemical Guys and Autogeek (PBMA) have and I am pretty positive that they are all the same device but rebranded.

How does that quick release fitting work?

I've washed my car twice since I've owned it. First time was to put a paint coating on, and the second was to rinse it.

Does anyone know if the tein s-tech springs come with bumpstops?

AFAIK only the eibach and RCE springs come with bumpstops. Quick check of vendors seems to show no bumpstops for the Tiens

Yes, I like this angle more. We're saving water. Don't you guys know there's a terrible drought?

Detailing isn't exactly rocket science.
