    Nice work man. Reminds me that I really need to buy some more stuff for washing the car. Any recommendations for a good drying towel?

    I need to order a grime/bug remover product and trying to decide between Oblitarate and Citrus...
    What's the difference between Auto finesse Oblitarate and AF Citrus? does one need both? Seems Oblitarate is the more powerful agent - so can it do more than Citrus does?
    Thanks!

    for bug and tar --> Auto Finesse Oblitarate - Tar and Glue Remover

    the obiltarate is stronger in many ways, the citrus is great at removing dirt and grime, and for engines.

    you can put a sprayer on but we don't ship with them as over time the solvents will destroy the trigger.
