The bin for the microfiber towels is a great idea. To my wife's consternation, I announced that the garage is too dusty to be a good home for my towels, so they have moved inside. If I get a sealed tub I would be ok moving them back out into the garage. I'm not too embarrassed to admit I have a similar quantity of towels. I may be worse... I actually have different types and colors of microfiber towels depending on their purpose.

I just wanted something to put those new towels in as opposed to carrying them around in trash bags. So, that was my impulsive $5 splurge at target. Works especially well for me since I live in an apartment, have limited use of my left hand, and was easy to put my spray wax in the bin and carry it all down. Sadly, I also have a lot more microfiber towels and a couple of blue glass ones, but those are not pictured and don't get a special bin. |

Oh, and they aren't "rags" they are "premium micro fiber towels." hahaha! I could make a rag joke right now but I won't. Too tired and too incoherent. |

Well, that at least makes me feel better. This was my first foray into fancy products (other than for my hair of course!) and a container of any sort for my towels. I just wanted to try this Auto Finesse Spritz since it seems to have all the same characteristics as the cockpit premium, but with a nicer smell (to me). Will let you guys know if it's any good.

How do you like these towels? Good for quick detailer / spray wax / window cleaning? I've been buying a bunch of the cobra supreme 530's but I think they're actually starting to leave fibers on the car and glass which isn't making me very happy. I 'embarrassingly' also fall into this category. New thread idea: Shameful detailing area photos.

Perhaps it would be good therapy to post shameful detailing products photos. But nobody will want to start that thread...unless their DA sponsor makes them as part of their 12 steps. =P We'd also have to make sure a sad sarah mclachlan song is playing of course while people read that thread. |

Now we know what to get you for christmas - one of those master blasters. Who knows, maybe she won't think a leaf blower is all that bad when she sees how much one of those drying things is. For what it's worth, I dust mine using bald eagle feathers. |

Chunner, you are OK in my book; I have a Metrovac Master Blaster -- the 8 HP, 2 motor version -- and I don't care what anyone thinks. They are awesome....the best way to dry your wheels and rotors (no rust) and get the water out of all the cracks. It was a present to myself during a big sale, haha (not that the sale price makes it any more justifiable!).

I mentioned the Master Blaster idea to my wife. She already thinks that all of us 1ADDICTS are nuts, but anybody drying their car with a leaf blower or other such device should probably be locked up. This is all great for me, since the further you guys push the boundaries of auto ownership normalcy, the less flak I get for using multiple wash buckets, the occasional delivery of new detailing products, etc. Obviously she thinks 1ADDICTS is the perfect name for this forum...

Master Blaster is an awesome tool! A bit overkill but works great. I'm very happy with mine.
135is owners: Do you guys worry about dealer service techs driving your car hard when you guys have warranty work done or drop of your car for the complimentary maintenance? Given how your cars have the PE and PPK2, which makes it sound so good.

Quick question, I want to get a "performance" type spoiler for my car. I wanted to get some opinions before I place an order. I was thinking painted black to match the other black accents of the car but I can't decide if it would look awkward/too ricey. I was also thinking alpine white with a painted black stripe across the top just as a slight accent. Don't really want CF, what does everyone think?
