Great question. The quickest way to remove the adhesive that would be saf for the wheels, not necessarily you, would be 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover. However, a safe way for you, that might take a little longer, would be Goo Gone in the gel form that comes in a bottle. Simply let it sit for a few minutes, then begin to pull off adhesive.

Moe -
Do you have any suggestions for use of a Kranzle? I was going to ask on your new sale post; but figured here is a bit more fitting.

Suggestions such as safe distances and which wand you suggest. The DirtKiller makes me a bit nervous for anything remotely close; not sure if it would cause any swirls or not.

Suggestions, advice, techniques to get the most out of this awesome machine?

Also, I have noticed the foamer hose works quite well compared to other brands; though I still will use the Cam foamer. Do you ever just use the adjustable suction hose?

Thanks

The kranzle units are very safe to use. The 1120 series has an output of 1400 psi and the larger units go up to 1600 psi. If your hand is about 2 feet away from the nozzle, you're actually feeling less pressure than a garden hose, making this a very safe tool to use.

The time and resin, assuming you have a cr spotless, these pressure washers will save you is amazing. We use our's daily and couldn't do without it.

As for the foaming, there is a foamer attachment from kranzle that we can get you.

Speaking of adhesive, I use to have one those ugly dashboard covers that was held on Velcro adhesives, now they leave an imprint of the glue, now I can't remove it, even though I used Elbow Grease, and Einzett ****pit. Any suggestion?

You can use goo gone in gel form. Just let it sit for a few minutes and it'll begin dissolving the adhesive. Test a small area first to make sure nothing gets damaged. ****pit isn't designed to remove adhesive.

I'm trying to get it confirmed right now from Kranzle. It's basically an attachment that goes on the gun and allows you to turn the soap into a rich foam as a pre-soak for the pressure washer.

As for the kranzle, don't wait too long...depending on the unit, it'll cost $80-150 more in a few weeks.

Pressure Washer

Moe -
I'm about 50% finished collecting all the equipment to begin my "detailing drama" and am considering a pressure washer. I've spent the bulk of my money on the important parts and now want to invest as little as possible in a pressure washer. So far the only advice I have found is "buy one from Home Depot - they are about $150". True, but there are about 50 to choose from below $200, so do you have any recommendation for the minimum requirements? Or even a brand name to choose from?
Thanks!

Most of those pressure washers are residential models and are pretty much the same. We used a karcher before getting the kranzle and it lasted about 6 months. Just buy a warranty for it. You never know if it last a few months or a few years.

Moe: I just had my detailer spend three days getting the paint on my black 996 GT2 up to show-quality. When he was done, he did not want me to put my dust-stop indoor car cover on it for fear of scratches. He wanted me to look for something softer like what he has seen on some other exotic cars. Can you suggest the best indoor cover for my car that will minimize the chance of scratching the black paint? Are you familiar with the Porsche factory cover, and do you know how it measures up?

So far, any surface we've used goo gone on hasn't had any adverse reactions. But always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
