Nice stuff!!! I don't wanna upset anyone reading this, including you, but I have heard bad things about the Hex-Logic pads..fyi...
Boars hair brush is NICE!!! i'm jelous!
I would like to know how the small foam applicator works, and what your intended purpose is.
I love my Brinkmann...can't beat it for the price!!
Would also like an update on the blower too!!

Hmm I heard that theres not much of a difference between the CCS pads and the HL pads. Was paying for shipping anyway so I picked up some.
I only got the foam pad because I needed $25 to get 15% off
The Uber BHB was $24.95 
Used the blower to clean my patio... its definitely not the best quality blower but for $40, its very powerful. Will use it tomorrow and provide feedback.

A lot of times detailers will use Citrus Wash & Gloss to prep the paint and remove previous coats of protection or polish residue, perfect for starting a full detail. Super Slick & Suds is an excellent maintenance shampoo that is great at cleaning (lots of suds and lubricity) but is designed to keep your protective layers in tact.

My "review" of my new blower
http://www.chemicalguys.com/ELECTRIC..._p/acc_303.htm
For $40, I love it! Its ~2.5lbs and pretty damn powerful. I used it to blow water out of the lug nut area, emblems, moldings, gaps, mirrors and grill. THEN I used it to clear off all the polish dust on the car! I push of the button and the majority of it was off the car... the rest had dusted off onto my face
I used it as part of my drying step too. I blew off the majority of the water on all the panels, drying the panel after I blew off the excess water. I ended up only using ONE (1) Pacific MF WW towel... 16x24 I think. It wasn't even soaked and probably could've dried 0.5-1 more cars using the same process!
Very impressed and for only $40, I give it
Oh BTW, a wet BHB smells like shit... FYI. Roll your windows down on the drive home after using

^ Who's this mysterious friend? Todd?
I really like it. With a long extension cord, you can use it anywhere. Not as good as compressed air but being mobile, I don't want to carry around a compressor and tanks don't last for sh*t.
I'll bring it over when I stop by. We should do something soon.

Got my tints from him and my tail light overlays. Talked to that guy on the phone so many times because he never has the film I want... so he has to order it.
I don't remember the clear bra guy's name but he did my overlays... I saw his work on an 09 CTS-V... immaculate!
Maybe I can lend a hand, if you need it.
