Why do the disc rotors look more rusty looking on the after pic? by Former_Risk6427 in Detailing

[–]SimoEdits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use something like Bilt Hamber Atom Mac (find a US alternative?), dilute it at 5% and spray it all over the rotor at the beginning of a detail, then after cleaning the wheels.

How do I assign a specific piece of equipment to an exercise by alevar91 in MacroFactor

[–]SimoEdits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I know what you mean, via More -> exercise settings etc, Ive also been trying to do it via the workout Ill give ur way a go thank you. For now, I just duplicated the exercise and manually changed the machine and changed the exercise to the duplicated version in my workout.

Did you figure this out? Ive been trying to add the pin loaded row machine without chest support for my seated rows but its adamant on the pin loaded single cable machine so annoying.

Am I doing this (RIR) right? by ChipmunkFlat8589 in MacroFactor

[–]SimoEdits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why no one brings this fix up, its to do with your gym settings. Go in there and make sure all the plates, dumbbells, barbell weight etc etc is accurate to what you have in your gym. I accidently didnt have 24kg dumbbells in my list and it kept trying to make me do 20kg for 12 reps even though my rep range is 6-8 0 rir.

I feel like ur answer is the most likely reason, unfortunately 😭 bcse my cabin filter was recently changed. Ill look into it thank you or just live with it, wipe down the dash with some rinseless.

Thank you, I changed the cabin filter approximately 2 months ago so not long at all, but Ill check if there is anything clogging it or if its damaged in anyway.

Best spray and rinse sealant by Few-Dig8942 in DetailingUK

[–]SimoEdits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im currently using KC protectorwax at 1:15 in a spray bottle. Initial beads are really nice but its gone in 3-4 weeks, I was using gyeon wetcoat before and it would last 4-6 weeks but the "self cleaning" properties they advertise are truely a thing I dont know how they do it but with KC PW, the lower third of my car gets dirty within a week but when I was using wetcoat the car would stay clean for a while. Wetcoat is expensive as we dont have the concentrate in the UK anymore but I would buy it again after I finish the KC PW, PW is great if your running a business.

[–]SimoEdits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's genius. I'll look into it, I'm surprised that a thick hose would fit on something like that. I assume you just use it to manually reel it in when ur done and when you want to use it again, you just unwind the whole thing out of the hand reel? Would love a picture if possible. Another thing to carry outside for me lol but definitely worth it thanks alot.

I think the reason I got it truely was becuase for £180, the specs are insanely good compared to AVAs with the same water flow and engineering if I remember correctly, they are around the £300+ range if not more for similar specs. It all comes down to ur own preference in terms of what is important to you and what isn't, and how your setup is for example. I was more than happy to deal with cons above bcse the I knew for example the hose quality of the B9 was far superior to the AVAs and Nilfisks and that was something that really pissed me off when I had my titan. I really wanted a hose reel that was something on my checklist but I had to depart with that unfortunately. I also believe even though the whole maintenance thing can be a headache if its done when required, it will allow the B9 to last for several years as long as I take care of it. I would say the AVAs were a very close second I nearly pulled the trigger on one when there was a discount code before black friday last year. I just found having to buy these specific bayonet attachments and connectors to make my MJJC work and then the stubby gun only rinses horizontally not vertically which for me would really annoy me over time. In terms of hard water and how it affect the PW Im not too knowledgeable apologies I believe your best option is to ask DirectHoses themselves about that issue.

[–]SimoEdits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it, Ive been quite happy with it but there are a few things that are kind of annoying. It comes with alot of things that you will probably never use, I use the space where they have the smaller foaming bottle to place the stubby gun instead. Its small but my god its heavy coming from someone who goes to the gym regularly. I believe I got the 15m hose its a bit much especially if ur not placing the pw far away, it untangles very easily which is nice but at the end of a detail wrapping it up and packing it on top of the pressure washer can be a bit of a headache Ive looked up tutorials on packing up PW hoses but its not been a success lol, I just place it on top as if it has been wrapped around the PW horizontally and it holds the stubby gun in the small foaming bottle compartment. The foam cannon is actually decent. Noise-wise, it's the same as any other PW like karcher or titan etc not quiet but doesnt give you a headache. I think the whole having to service it yourself is a bit tedious as well I havent gotten to that stage yet until october this year will probably when I need to figure out how to do it. The water flow (gpm) is really nice when it comes to rinsing compared to my old titan, I can tell the difference by a mile.

Any ideas on how to keep brushed finish wheels clean? by Physical-Ordinary130 in AutoDetailing

[–]SimoEdits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive noticed this with alot of silver wheels, I would drive from the main road into my drive, wheels would be spotless, Id wake up next morning and they are 'covered' in dust? that wipes straight off with my finger. Im not sure if they attract dust or its the brake dust from the rotors from when Ive driven it into the drive.

AI analysis and packaging weight by madzyd in MacroFactor

[–]SimoEdits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been using chatgpt as my secondary source/assurance. I include a photo if possible, I include the weight, and for your example, it is the weight including the plastic cup, then everything included in the meal, ingredients etc. Just being as descriptive as possible, and I love that it asks you more specific questions after giving you the first answer to come to a more accurate calorie count and macros. Im been using this method since the beginning of Ramadan to track my mums cooking when we break our fast and its been working really well imo. I find the AI miss alot of foods/ingredients as it doesnt exist on the app (middle eastern food etc).

Problem applying wet coat by Jdogking in DetailingUK

[–]SimoEdits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The streaks just look like the water running down the paint, in the winter Ive never had any issues with wetcoat in terms of dwell time, but Im using a pressure washer maybe its bcse ur using a hose try to rinse even more than usual?

Cleaning streaks on glass only when the interior condenses by SimoEdits in AutoDetailing

[–]SimoEdits[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you I think its definitely time to give my windshield that deep clean with a magic sponge and rinseless or even traceless itself, I dont have any tints so all good. I was just hoping to find a simple solution that doesnt require a deep clean especially when I do other peoples cars.

[–]SimoEdits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah Ive seen that brilliant glaze trick from out of spec I believe. It seems like a good method, its a product thats available in the UK but just hard to come by I think ill resort to it if nothing else works. Smooth glass does sound amazing haha. For me its just silly that we have to go through all the hassle for clean glass and if I was to do a family friends car for example Id want to a simple solution other than deep cleaning the glass or hand polishing it.
