Nice job richy! Question for you since you're a first time user of the ABC wash. For both A & B, do you now feel like you should work panel by panel?

No, unless the car (or truck) was so large that you couldn't complete it in the 7 minute time frame. I was hustling to get it done though. It would take longer to do panel by panel (or even section by section) but there'd be no time constraints.

Hmmm, I must be slow as p*ss then. That or I did something wrong in the process. Step B is something I'd want to do panel by panel.

Another question: Did you feel like it took FOREVER for you to finish rinsing?

Sorry for the questions, trying to decide if I should keep my ABC kit or not.

Bud, I don't mind the questions at all..that's how we all learn is from each others' experiences!! There's no question that the B takes a bit longer b/c you're not using a large wash mitt to apply it (I used the white pad that was included). I went fairly quickly over the surface not using much pressure due to the consistency of the pad. I would squirt a quantity onto the pad and do about 1/2 a panel with it going about as quickly as you would a fast wash...remember, there should be no dirt or anything due to the 1st stage. And, yes, I found the rinsing of B to take longer than with A. Like any new process, there is a learning curve to get a familiarity with the product. My bottom line: would I use it again? Hell ya! Especially with older cars or white cars that look stained. I think it's a great product and will definitely order more in the future. (I'll buy yours if you decide against keeping it). I think this is a case where you let the chemical do its job and don't need to work it in like you would a polish or whatever. I hope my ramblings helped

Thanks for the feedback richy. I'm gonna hold on to the kit for now, until I get a chance to use it for a 2nd car. Actually, I already have one in mind but I think I'll wait for the fall.
