The class was awesome! Thanks Mike! - Ben

I am thinking of getting a Z for my next car. Which options did you get, and which model is it (i.e. base, touring, touring with sport package)? Looks great!

Thanks Mike!

I've noticed in several how-to articles on polishing that the tires are covered with canvas covers to prevent splatter. Are these available from Autogeek or does everyone just use newspaper or something else? What do you use?

I have an HTC Incredible, and my favorite thing about having a smartphone is I can read the autogeek forum while waiting for my wife while she is shopping!

On a trip home from the grocery store, some mildew remover spilled in my wife's car (cap was loose). It bleached a small spot in the carpet near the base of one of the passenger seat posts. Not too noticeable, but it bothers me. Any ideas of what to do? Would it be worth looking into dyes (if...

What do you protect the actual metal wipers with (not the blades)? Would it be better to use protectant or wax/sealant?

Does anyone at Autogeek know when and if the Cobra Indigo microfiber towels will be available again?

I already have a foam gun, but don't have a pressure washer. For those of you who own a foam cannon, is the difference worth getting a cannon and PW?

Thanks everyone for the help!

I am purchasing a PC and know I will need to get some orange and white pads. The question I have is what is the difference between gray and black pads and when would you use one over the other (or should I just get one of these colors?). Also, for wax or sealant application, should I get some...

New to all of this (claying, polishing, etc). From what I have read on the forums I would guess a light duty clay is the Pinnacle Ultra. Where do the WG clay or Mothers OTC fall into the categories? Also, if my car has never been clayed, which category should I start with (I am purchasing a PCXP...

I forgot to mention that the BMW was waxed with the machine once a month for about 2 years.

Thanks Mike, I've learned a lot from your videos and am going to purchase the Porter 7424XP. My wife's car is a 2008 Lincoln MKX (unfortunately it is black) and it has a lot of swirl marks that I think actually happened when it was detailed at the dealership when we purchased it. I have a 2004...
