Car care going forward

After taking delivery of my LBB '18 I took it to my detailer & had a Suntek full front clear bra done along with CQuartz Finest Reserve coating. Also had CQuartz applied on all interior leather.

Decided to get the proper kit to do my own car care:

AR Blue Clean model AR610 pressure washer (1,500 psi, 1.9 gpm)
Metro Air Force Master Blaster model MB-3CD (8 hp) with 30' hose
Chemical Guys EQP-310 Torq pro foam cannon
Microfiber Madness mitt & towels
Rag Company microfiber towels
Wheel Woolies & tire brush
Iron-X for the wheels
Reset car shampoo
PERL for the tires

Get some Reload and some ECH2O, apply the Reload every 2-3 months and mix the Reload and ECH2O 25:1 with water in a spray bottle for a nice quick detailer

I have a bottle of the ECH2O. Will investigate the Reload.

Used the Master Blaster for the first time today. This is going to make cleaning cars & motorcycles much easier.

The Master Blaster is great but I still find myself picking up the old corded leaf blower to blow out the jambs, mirrors, panel gaps, and the wheels. It just moves so much more air.

I'd be concerned about it blowing other debris against the paint. The 8 hp Master Blaster makes very quick work of drying my cars & bikes.
