    Do you use shampoo and conditioner on these or just lather & rinse?

    All that improvement with just one dip?
  • MadMartyMadMarty Posts: 16,697 ✭✭✭
    NO DIP!!! Just a quick wash in MS70, rinse, blow with canned air. I just wanted to see what was under the crud!!! I don't even own a can of dip!!!
