So after spending several hours on this yesterday I can say without hesitation it’s going to fight me until the end. I used plastic razor blades and a heat gun and while I got about half of it off the other half is really putting up a fight. The heat gun didn’t seem to always do much. The best...

So, we recently purchased a 2005 4Runner as a third vehicle. Love it and I'm about to get to work on the paint, however, while most of the pinstriping is gone, there is still a bit that needs to be removed. What products and techniques should I use to remove what's left? Thanks in advance!

Once again, I come to those here at Autogeek for help. I’d like to get some reasonably priced brushes (a set?) for use when getting around emblems, tight areas, and to use in conjunction with my wheel woolie when cleaning the wheels and calipers on our cars (my vehicle has very large, bright red...

I currently have a Simpson 3,000PSI 2.4GPM power washer that I use for detailing the cars. It works fantastic. It has tons of power and cleans the wheels and everywhere else like a champ. It runs a foam cannon like nobody’s business. It’s also extremely loud and I’m tired of listening to it when...

Thank you to all! While I had planned to coat the wheels, it hadn't occurred to me that coating the calipers was an option. Everything will be coated (including the wheels and calipers) later this week. I'll be picking up a set of those brushes too. Thanks for the links and responses! A set of...

Hello Everyone, Yesterday I purchased a car that I just love - a Camaro 1SS / 1LE. While I typically do all my own detail work, I’ll be having the paint ceramic coated, as I had this done on my previous vehicle and loved the results. This being said, the car has very large brake...

Perhaps this what happened.....and a potential fix or two. It would appear that there is already a TSB out on this issue, so I’ll be calling the dealer. If that doesn’t go well I’ll remove this coating completely. I hope this was helpful to someone here...

The Lexus in my signature.

Since we picked up my wife's "new to her" car we noticed that there some sort of a smeared/dirty film on the vehicle's display screen. The morning it was really bugging me so I got things cleaned off. The pictures show what was found underneath. You could slightly notice this under the...

Thanks to all that replied. Now I have a game plan to get this taken care of! It looks like Autogeek will be getting another order this morning.

Agreed - I should have posted some pics. Now that it's a bit dark out it's hard to see. I can do this tomorrow though if needed. Thanks!

Recently, we purchased a Lexus 2015 IS250 F Sport for my wife to drive. It’s a great car and everything is in nice condition. However, it is clear that the brake dust is stuck to the wheels (somewhat bad on the front wheels). I have scrubbed with car wash and a wheel brush, and this afternoon, I...

Hello everyone, To begin with, I drive a large vehicle (GMC 2500HD Crew Cab 4x4). I prefer to wash the vehicle myself, but there are many (many) times where I just don’t have the time to devote to getting it cleaned up. I recently relocated from Southern California to the greater Charlotte, NC...

Thanks for the replies! So I'll move on to a multi-step system. Should I remove the product currently on the vehicle before doing so? If so, what method should I use to do so? Thanks for the help!
