The Garage Guy's first ever Car Club Detailing Clinic!
















Last Thursday, a small crowd of folks from the GTAsentra.net club invaded The Garage and were treated to a casual evening of car care. All the basics of detailing were covered, with emphasis on what tools to have & how to use them to their best advantage. I think the highlight of the evening was the realization that a clay bar not only works wonders, but is easy to boot! That, and seeing how incredible micro fibre towels really are.

For any other car clubs out there, The Garage Guy's Detailing Clinics are a great way to spend a few hours hanging out & talking cars, while actually learning stuff about how to care for your car!

The Mother's wash brush

Product Review - Mother's Wash Brush

Mother's car care products has come out with a somewhat confusing wash brush. Don't get me wrong, it's a really nice tool and it gets the job done. It's just that one of it's main marketing features makes no sense!
They have taken a traditional, pro style wash brush & attached it to a nice quality aluminum extension handle with soft foamy grips. To this, they have added a hose attachment to the end of the handle, which allows fresh water to flow through the handle & out the center of the brush. So what is the problem with that you ask? Simple. It washes the suds right out of your brush!
Used normally, without a hose, it is actually a really nice brush. The soft tips of the bristles are gentle on the paint and the brush holds the suds really well. The extendible handle will be a great help to SUV and minivan owners.

Even though the brush features a soft rubber edge around the hard center piece, you still hear the occasional thud as your brush bumps into the body wherever there are sharp angles, like at the base of the windshield. This nice brush just shows that if you are in a hurry, the brush always wins. If you love your paint though, you will use a good quality fuzzy wash mitt!
