    Review - CarPro Cquartz Leather Coating

    I used it on a boat for a customer 2 years ago. Did his seats and all plastics. Last week the boat came to me for some polishing and noticed it's still holding up. To be fair though he doesn't use it often and it stays inside. Very good and easy to use. Sent from my SM-G965U using...

    Too busy not to use just the Flex3401

    My shop was on the outskirts of town, about 4 miles. It's now on the main drag so I get a lot of people who stop by. I have my wife who is now in the office and tries her best to assist our customers without my help which most often works out. I'm working on a deal to open another shop about...

    Too busy not to use just the Flex3401

    I agree on the bogging. It drives me insane when I don't see the pad spinning but no worries when using the Flex. Sent from my SM-G965U using Autogeekonline mobile app
