    How to contact Autogeek

    I have a friend who wants to order a ceramic coating for his new car and he'd like to discuss the options available at Autogeek with someone who works there. However, the phone number on the website is disconnected. What's a good number for him to call?

    New car detail 2022 Audi S4

    I leased an A4 for three years before this and while I found it an incredibly boring car to drive I didn't think the brake dust was anywhere near as bad as what this S4 produces.

    Haha! Just realized I wrote CG Strip, but it's actually CG Clean Slate wash soap.

    Electric Pressure Washer/Foam Cannon HELP!!!

    UPDATE . . . I detailed my car yesterday and used two of the three foam cannons I have on hand. I also purchased some new soaps to try out. The more expensive foam cannon didn't provide any suds at all this time. I might have to disassemble it and see what's going on there. The less...

    New car detail 2022 Audi S4

    Just leased this car about a month ago. Dealer prep was pretty decent but I wanted to coat the paint today. I washed the car first with some IronX and then again with CG Strip. Then I foamed it again with CG Strip and went over the paint with a speed master clay towel before giving the car a...

    Shop vac too powerful- fix or new vac?

    Even easier . . . when using the vacuum just hold the tool at a slight angle so that the end of the tool isn't 100% flush with the surface of the rug. If you don't allow a seal to be created at the end of the vacuum tool then you won't get that suction affect that's bothering you.

    Electric Pressure Washer/Foam Cannon HELP!!!

    I think I'm going to order another pressure washer from Amazon and see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't then I can always return it. This is the kind of foam I was used to getting before. I never used a foam booster though and the foam cannon I was using was cheap AF because back...

    Electric Pressure Washer/Foam Cannon HELP!!!

    Interesting possibility. Perhaps the PW I have is somehow defective? I gave my previous PW to my brother in law. He sent me a copy of the tag on the machine and not only does it produce only 1.6 GPM but at a lower pressure as well. In theory , the Sun Joe has better specs for running a f.oak...

    Electric Pressure Washer/Foam Cannon HELP!!!

    So just to add a little more info . . . I did order some 1.1 orifices off of Amazon already and when I went to install one on my foam gun I found it already had one in it. So, my sense is that the orifice size is not the issue. Someone suggested the soap might be the issue . . . I'm using...

    Electric Pressure Washer/Foam Cannon HELP!!!

    Hey everybody!! It's been many, many, MANY years since I've posted on here and I'm hoping you all can help me out. When foam cannons first hit the detailing scene many years ago, I purchased one on a pressure washer parts website and I've pretty much been using it ever since. I always got...

    Black Sapphire Metallic BMW 335is Paint Correction

    Me too. I have a '16 BMW 340i in the same color. This paint gets swirl marks if you just sneeze near it. It's tough to work with.

    Have you ever "Oops, sprayed the wrong product!" Good? Bad? Disastrous?

    I was claying my wife's minivan this spring and I grabbed a bottle off the shelf that was labeled as Meguiar's Final Inspection. I couldn't figure out why it didn't have a spray head on it but rather a cap. However, I was in a rush and just found a sprayer and threw it on the bottle. I...
