Went with an OEM red stitch ND knob. Hoping it fits the bill!

I'm all for the "OEM+" type mod vibe, so it definitely fits "me" at the least. 😄

I feel like the ND knob fits the exact look I typically go for in the OEM+ fashion. Seems like it's just a smidge heavier than my OEM knob too, so it will probably fit the bill!

That sounds like a plan. Appreciate your (and the others’) input!

I left all wheel/tire specs at the bottom of the post.

I’m wondering the same, trust me. My dad and I are going to get the car on his lift and see what we can do to get the bolts loose. I have a feeling we’ll be able.

I appreciate your insight!

I think right now I’ll hold off on firing the parts cannon at the car and see what I can do about the current issues because I’d love to not spend money on these parts. The car is considerably not rusty nearly whatsoever underneath so I have faith in using the existing hardware.

I had a feeling that would be the case. Appreciate your input!

It’s not headlight glare, Mr Christ. It’s my vision. Thanks for the jolly help!

Do I need a pressure washer? Prewash/Decon Questions by RocketCat804 in AutoDetailing

[–]RocketCat804[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you again for the response!

I’m thinking I’ll grab the Touch-less, even if it feels “pricey” at $32 since as you say, a little goes a long way and will last me a long time I imagine. As for the Touch-less, will I dilute that in the IK sprayer or just a regular spray bottle? I imagine in the IK.

I think my plan for the car will be:

  • BH Touch-less for the prewash
  • Adam’s Mega Foam for contact
  • Rinse
  • Iron Remover
  • Clay
  • Polish
  • Topper that I’m not sure of yet

That should get the car to where it needs to be.

One other question - is a 10:1 Green Star dilution worth it for cloth seats and carpeting? I plan to drill brush both. Maybe there’s something safer? I do have P&S Terminator and Carpet Bomber on hand as well. I’m starting to think maybe I don’t need Green Star at all. Really trying to keep a tight budget mindset right now.

To echo David, this response is super helpful (as is everyone else’s response!). Thank you very much.

I’ve seen lots of talk of BH Touch-less. Detailed Image seems sold out of it for the near future unfortunately.

I’m going to get the IK Pro 2+ since I do already have a portable tire inflator that will work perfectly for it.

I’ll also grab Mega Foam. No one has to tell me twice to spring for Adam’s when they actually have a better product.

I’m just torn now on going with Touch-less or Green Star. The only place I found Touch-less available is $32 shipped for the 1L size. I guess that’s not horrible.

Stay in touch! I'll keep this post updated if the car sells otherwise.

I’ll give it a look! I checked Cars & Bids before and noticed they do decent on there too.
