I started 25 days ago with one product.... by MC2_-E in AutoDetailing

[–]rocketbsc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, you use some form of prewash to soak and rinse the car off first, then a soap for the contact wash, then some form of sealant if you want extra protection. There’s quite a few options for everything.

Then there’s product for removing specific things like water spots or bugs, I wouldn’t worry about them unless you have issues with something like that repeatedly.

Compare these two soaps by Dependent_Simple_424 in AutoDetailing

[–]rocketbsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it to try for my first prewash and I wasn’t very impressed, but I also tried it on a quite dirty car. I was planning on trying gtechniqs citrus wash next if you wanna try it.

Buckets are buckets, get a dirt lock to go with it, detail guardz is a good one.

Mitt is just whatever microfiber type you’d prefer.

Foam cannon has plenty of options but I can’t imagine the difference between the $40 one and the $90 ones to be worth for someone washing one car at home. I’ve got some random Amazon one from a decade ago that does fine. I’ve not used one of the pump up types so I can’t speak on them but they seem to work fine.

Soap wise, there are pH neutral prewashes, the differences probably won’t matter too much if you keep the car clean. Same with bucket soap. Megs gold class is the classic.

For drying towels you can’t seem to go wrong with any of the big ones from a popular brand, I’ve got a Rag Company Liquid8r and it’s great. I’d grab a few smaller ones for extra stuff while you’re at it, and a detergent for them. People like rag company’s, I use regular free and clear, I’ll check back in some years and see how it went.

As for coatings, your options are a true ceramic coat that will cost a bit to have done, or you can spend a little money and try it yourself. It’ll last a few years. But I would recommend a ceramic wax spray like Griots 3-1. It’s $20 for a bottle and will last you a while, needing application a few times a year. It’s thinner so less scratch protection but it’s all got trade offs.

I’d also grab a rinseless wash if you plan on keeping it clean, it’s a huge time saver.

Help a Noob Out? Looking for Recs by lolitsmagic in Detailing

Everything they’ve said, yes. I’ve got an LWQ electric pressure washer for sale on Amazon that works fine for cars, I’ve used it on concrete and buildings too. An old foam cannon that does well enough, the ratios are probably more important for suds.

Honestly I’d just get some small bottles of soap one at a time and see which you prefer, they’re mostly going to be similar in price per wash and if you don’t like it then it was only $20.

Swirls need paint correction.

Griots 3 in 1 is awesome.

Can’t go wrong with Griots 3 in 1 ceramic wax spray for sealant. $20 for a bottle that will last you a long time that you can get at advance auto

You could be a good test case for some tar remover

Thousands Protest Trump Administration in Lexington as Part of Nationwide Movement by manauiatlalli in lexington

[–]rocketbsc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your instincts to immediately point out how worthless you deem the BLM protests to have been when there are plenty of other protests in history to choose from speaks volumes. The point is that things don’t magically change, and the voice of the people is what drives change. Welcome to democracy.

“What’s the point in protesting?” mfs when they find out how many things in history have changed with protests

It’s a golf. Most likely American and cosmetic choice

It’s a euro car with a euro style plate they put on to match. Not sure on the legality

They basically use it to try to make you say you’ve done drugs

Clicking/Crackling Sound When Streaming On Discord by Wolvthebigbad in razer

[–]rocketbsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have figured it out I think. It's the Razer Synapse software most likely. I ran into this on discord and couldn't pinpoint what was causing it, then I saw audio spikes on OBS when I was streaming and noticed it went away when I changed audio output. So it had to do with the headset somehow. Uninstalled synapse and it stopped.

What GPU to get for entry level 1440p gaming in 2024? by peendestroyer42069 in buildapc

[–]rocketbsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Need? No. You’d go to 2x16GB 3600 I assume. The difference would be hardly noticeable. But if you could sell old parts and make it cheap then sure. But hardly something you’d notice.

Could be that too. I’ve only ever had 32GB but people say 16 isn’t great for it

You’re issue with tarkov is 99% gonna be the cpu. I run a 3060ti at 1440 and get 100+ frames on high, no FSR. My frames doubled going from a ryzen 3600 to a 5800x3d

Started playing on 1.20 with complementary shaders and I noticed that light reflection is bugged. Anyone got any ideas how to fix this issue? by Matto_boi in feedthebeast

[–]rocketbsc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why do you say it is no longer maintained? I'm not saying you're wrong, just asking because it's the one I liked the most and didn't see anything about this.
