    Rust on a less than 1 year-old car?

    Thanks AG. After looking into this a little further I think I'll start with this: And then hit it with some Dr. ColorChip.

    Rust on a less than 1 year-old car?

    I was giving my new (purchased last Summer) RAV4 a quick waterless wash the other day when I found something that surprised me: a spot where the finish may have caught a rock or something, that is rusting. I've got a few other paint chips also where I guess my poor baby's skin got assaulted by...

    Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel(quick review)

    I'd like to see someone do a side by side comparison of this product versus Optimum Tire Shine.

    PB Black Hole vs LSP

    Optimum Car Wax is described on their site as: "A combination of high-grade Carnauba wax, sealant polymers" So what classification is it then: a sealant or a carnauba wax? Seems to be a hybrid. This leaves me wondering if it'll work nicely together after all. I'd give it a shot if I had some...

    PB Black Hole vs LSP

    I've been thinking about giving BH a try. My current favorite LSP is Optimum Car Wax (spray): wonder if that combo would work.

    Drying Lake Country Foam Pads

    Try it with the fan blowing the air the other way: it'll pull the moisture right out of the pads and you don't have to worry about them popping up.

    Shamrocks Don't Rock

    I'm confused. When I hit the 'Cobra Microfiber Car Care Products' page I see towels that look very similiar to the Shamrocks called 'Special Purchase Microfiber Towel, 16 x 24 inches'. Are those the Shamrocks or not? Can someone from AG staff clear this up for us once and for all? This...

    Thinking about offering a "green detail"

    Add me to the list of skeptics (unfortunately). I recall the days back in college and what little money there was available went to partying or food. Everything else could wait until the semester was over (and we'd be back home with our cars at that point). It's just not the market where...

    Arctic White vs. Indigos: any difference?

    Even the description specifies: "The Cobra Arctic White is made of the same densely woven microfiber as our popular Cobra Indigo." So is color and price the only difference?

    Taping before polishing...

    Sorry if this is slightly off topic but... Mike, Don't believe I've seen wheels covered like they are in that one pic. I get the idea of the chrome and glass being covered but what's the purpose behind the rubber of the tires being covered? I'm pretty new to detailing so I'm sure this...

    Recommend me a microfiber.

    Stay away from their (CG) Shaggy Fur-ball towels unless you'd like your car to look like it's growing in it's winter coat. I was going to give their Monsters a try next becasue one of their customer service peeps said they'd hook me up with a discount after I told her how disappointed I am in...

    Poor boys ssr2.5

    Have you put something down into the bottle (maybe a knitting needle or something like that) to see if there is a thick settled-out portion at the bottom (which is refusing to be shaken into solution again)? If you can get something to the bottom of the bottle to break up the thick surface (if...

    Question regarding aquapel

    Cabin Air Filter for ur Car or Truck

    I wonder if any 3rd party vendors make different levels of these (like they do for HVAC filters).

    Review: Optimum Car Wax (OCW) v2 Spray Wax

    Wow! Great report. Very well composed and laid out. I like the Optimum stuff I have so far (ONR, Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer, and Power Clean) and have just run dry on my Meg's UQW: I guess I'm going to try some OCW now to fill that slot. Thanks for the thoughtful review.
