Actually it's been around for awhile. I have this.
Check this out
http://www.gritguard.com/product_inf...a9469d09edde30
This dual bucket system costs $120---you get two buckets with dollies, Grit Guards, and one seat cushion. Sonus is selling the same thing but as a one bucket system---if you combined two of his at $70, it comes out to a lot more than the Grit Guard system.

Last year I cobbled something like this together from old grill parts, coat hangers, 5-gallon plastic dog food containers, and stuff from Home Depot--~$10.
Though I never gave this mess a second thought, I will now call it an Advanced Abrasion Reducing Dynamic Vehicle Appearance Restoration Kit (AARDVARK). With the AARDVARK(R) logo scribbled over Eukanuba on the buckets, surely I can sell my AARDVARK(R) system to a MINI owner for $120.

If only I had a pic of my old AARDVARK(R) system with the original Anti-Roll Technology and Integrated Levitation Apparatus.

Thanks for the order, Dean!
Now you'll have to let us know as soon as you get that new MINI steering wheel in your hands!

It is true that those red mega-sprayers put all the rest to shame for volume. And I agree... sometimes you want alot of spray and other times you want it a fine mist. That's why it's been so hard to find the perfect sprayers for Prima spray products!
You could put Hydro in your pressure washer for really good volume...

i looked at thegallon of Hydro and it reminded me of orange vanilla icecream.
i have to say the new spray head is A LOT bolder looking.
I'll give this a shot on my Hydro bottle hopefully this weekend.
now i can join the Clarity club.

that's a lot of hydro to buy a ferrari. well congrats to Nickfor his new ride.
meanwhile, im hoping its going to be warm enough to wash my car
this weekend. btw, the Hydro'ed look is fantastic. as all you know,
there's nothing but Hydro on my car right now but it beads water like
any other wax (or better), and the shine is right through the dust like
Epic. people get paranoid that they NEED to use paste/liquid wax to
protect their cars and make them look nice... not the case any more.
if i can 'see' any clearer about Hydro with Clarity, i will be amazed.

Yeah, sure... this is Nick's car... in his dreams!
It's actually a customer car (a regular
). Nice, eh? I'm sure you already know this but it's the new Ferrari 599. You definitely don't see them everyday!Brendan- Nick told me to tell you that he has several hi-res shots of the car he can send you if you want. Just email me if you're interested.
