Small world... I worked at the Speedway for about three years.

I will be getting the windows tinted at some point, but other than that I'll be leaving the car as is.

I'm a big fan of that particular dressing - it's long-lasting, and starts to fade to a nice satin black after a week or so. I find that the trigger spray version is much easier to apply evenly than the gel, especially if your tires have grooves like mine do. I think I'm going to try some M40...

Finally, my car, a 2012 Hyundai Elantra. This car gets washed at least once a week, and waxed at least monthly. These photos were taken after a maintenance wash in July. I don't have any before pics (it never gets all that dirty, anyway). Products used: Body Hand...

Next is a co-worker's 2009 Mazdaspeed 3. He recently bought the car used, and after having a horrible first experience attempting to wax it with some variant of Turtle Wax, he brought it to me. The paint was in decent shape, with some minor swirling, and a number of RIDS. Wax residue was...

Thought I'd share some of the work that I've done so far. Primarily, I got into detailing to take care of my own car, but I found that I enjoyed it enough to start doing a car here and there for friends and family. As most of you know, this stuff is addictive! At this point, I think I've got...

Meghan - that's one reason why AG is my preferred supplier! I've driven past you all several times on the Turnpike.

D156 is great stuff - I always follow up my maintenance washes with it.

Good deal. Just ordered a few.

IOMCAMARO - Awesome, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks. Griot's says that they're "glug" free - do they work well even though the 1gal jugs aren't vented?

Thanks, guys. Stephen - I'll post some of my work when I get a bit of free time. Mark - Yep, it's grown quite a bit. Seems like there are more housing developments than farm land these days.

Anyone know where I can find a spigot that fits a Meguiar's gallon jug? Currently, I'm using the dispensing pumps, but those aren't ideal for filling up bottles with RTU products - I'm looking for something like the one that fits the 5-gallon containers.

While I haven't used the paste version, I've used Ultimate Liquid Wax three times so far on my car. I'm getting progressively better at applying thinly and getting the timing down (letting it sit no longer than five minutes before wiping), but I'm still experiencing streaking. Add that to the...

Hey folks, been lurking for a couple months now, and thought I'd post a quick intro. I've always been a fan of a clean car, but only recently have I gotten really involved in the car care process (buying your first new car can have that effect...). AG tends to be my go-to retailer for...
