    Foam brush Setup

    Thanks for posting that video Earl. After watching that - I need to do some fine tuning on my setup. My tire cleaner I think has too much air and comes out in less quantity and sputters. My foam is way less foamy with less coverage than yours. I'm using Blendco on both - could it be the...

    Mudders

    I was just going to mention this. They almost always hit my limit ($14.75) and usually run more. I personally rather have one sale of $20 than 4-5+ smaller sales. We live in the desert surrounded by millions of acres of BLM and National Forest.. Mud is a fact of life here. Between mudders...
