ROCKPALS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3nJZoRa ) Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW )

My Jackery Explorer 240 – Power Station ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) is light and compact to bring with you during camping or off the grid. Its convenient and has AC outlet, USB ports for fast charging, and a 12 volt socket . Charging takes about 5-7hours depending of method. With the included AC or 12 volt car charger it charges at 62 Watts and is fully charged in about 5 hours. I wanted to charge it while camping using solar so i bought a ROCKPALS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3nJZoRa ).

According to Jackery’s manual it can only charge at about 60 Watts max, so buying a 60 Watt portable solar panel seemed like a great idea. Generally the more solar panel wattage the larger your panels will be depending on how its packaged. I wanted something light and compact and had a max charge of 60 watts so i dont damage my Jackery Explorer 240.

The ROCKPALS 60 Watt Folding Solar Panel ( https://amzn.to/3nJZoRa ) works fine on the Jackery 240. I got about 30-40 watts in full sun which was expected as the the manual says it would take about 7 hours to charge using a 60W solar panel.

I generally follow the sun during camping. Moving the panel from my car’s windshield, to the car roof, then to the rear window and trunk, while camping and get a good 4-5 hours of charging in. There are eye holes to hang or tie down the panel as well. I have the Jackery Power stateion ( https://amzn.to/3DVeKHW ) in my car when charging and just have the wire go into my door weather strip.

Pros:

  • Compatible with other power stations
  • Compact folded size
  • Good / expected charging speed for solar.
  • Thick cables.
  • Three USB charging ports – well positioned in the storage area.

    Cons:
  • Slightly heavier than other folding solar panels due to wiring and packaging.
  • May need a chair or car to act as a stand to follow the sun.
  • Folds out at 4 feet or so, not as convenient as simple 2 fold panels.

Overall its a good performer and gets the job done. Makes for a good gi I would have wanted a solar panel kit that produces closer to the 60W output, however that would mean getting a larger 100 W solar panel for the future.

REVIEW: Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions CERAMIC SPRAY COATING – 6 MONTHS LATER…

Its been 6 month since applying a single application of Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions CERAMIC SPRAY COATING ( https://amzn.to/3CNtIzD ) and here is my review and how to.

Overall the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating ( https://amzn.to/3CNtIzD ) performs very well. It starts losing it effectiveness after 6 months when using a single application. If I applied a second coat 24 hours later it should last longer than 6 months. I plan to use two coats next time.

The 16 oz bottle was enough for probably 5 applications, as I have applied single coats to 3 of my cars. To apply, I have to was the car, clay the paint to remove any bonded particles, polish the car, and finally apply the spray wax.

I use Meguiar’s Smooth Surface Clay Kit ( https://amzn.to/3BDtYzK ) for about 3 years now. I always use clay to remove stuck brake dust and particles before I polish ( https://amzn.to/3nMhSPG ) my cars for shine, and then apply Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating ( https://amzn.to/3CNtIzD ) on to microfiber cloth and wipe off any excess.

Every 6 months, I spend about 15 minutes to wash my car, 30 mins to clay, 30 – 60 minutes to polish, and 20 minutes use spray wax. The Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating ( https://amzn.to/3CNtIzD ) is very easy to apply and beats having to apply traditional wax and buffing.

REVIEW: Meguiar’s Smooth Surface CLAY KIT – 3 YEARS LATER…

I been using my Meguiar’s Smooth Surface Clay Kit ( https://amzn.to/3BDtYzK ) for about 3 years now. It came with three 80g bars of clay, a bottle of Meguiar’s Quik Detailer spray ( https://amzn.to/3CJv3XT) as lubricant for the clay, and a microfiber cloth. I am on my second bar.

I always use clay to remove stuck brake dust and particles before I use liquid Compound ( https://amzn.to/3nRSbNY ) (if needed), and Polish ( https://amzn.to/3nMhSPG ) my cars for shine, and then add a layer of protective wax ( https://amzn.to/3BE17er ) . I keep the foam pads with my liquid compound polish or wax. I normally clay, polish and wax my car by hand, but recently bought a 6 inch Dual Action Polisher ( https://amzn.to/3EfWFnR ) and love it!

I recently started using ceramic spray wax ( https://amzn.to/3BFoq7Y ) over Carnauba car wax as its much easier to apply and buff and holds for about 6-7 months. I can quickly clay and use ceramic wax to seal if the cars paint isn’t too dirty.

Meguiar’s Smooth Surface Clay Kit ( https://amzn.to/3BDtYzK ) clay is very good at picking up brake dust and tar off my paint. I normally wash and dry my car first. The clay will pickup lots of particles very quickly that washing your car will not remove.

I use the recommended Meguiar’s Quik Detailer spray ( https://amzn.to/3CJv3XT) as surface lubricant and guide the clay bar over the paint surface. It takes about 30 minutes to clay may car by hand. I clay and wax every 6 months or so, any longer and the particles would take longer to remove.

If you clay bar has dried up in storage, then use Meguiar’s Quik Detailer spray ( https://amzn.to/3CJv3XT) to revive the dry clay bar. Just put it in the plastic storage box, spray a bar and leave it in the box to absorb the liquid. It will hydrate and be pliable again.

My first bar lasted for about 1.5 years, and the only reason for replacing it was that it fell on the floor. I would not want to rub embedded sand and scratch my paint of my car. I am currently on my second bar and its starting to turn gray, from the original white putty color.

Overall I love using Meguiar’s Smooth Surface Clay ( https://amzn.to/3BDtYzK ) as it works really well and offers great value for the price.
