Phil,
Awesome work! Looking at the timestamp of this post and your email back to me last night, do you ever sleep?!?! Two questions . . . seeing your foam gun with the pressure washer makes me so jealous - what is your setup? I'm just using a straight garden hose with a Gilmour Foam Gun and seeing that foam makes me want to upgrade. Other question - since you have hands-on experience with both Opti-Coat and Wolf's Body Wrap can you compare the pros and cons of both? |
