I've been a Griot's cutomer since the early 1990's. Ive bought a ton of stuff from them over the years and never been disappointed. Superb customer service as well. I've got a Rupes 21 MKII and just ordered a G15 on black Friday. I like variety and never stick to a single brand. Cant wait...

Autogeek has some of the best CS of any industry I have dealt with. I've had a couple of minor issues with orders caused by UPS, not Autogeek. They took care of the problem on the spot, no questions asked. Honestly, that is the main reason I keep coming back. Prices are important to me of...

Want to thank Meghan and Bryan for matching a competitor's offer on a buffer I have been wanting for some time (and including free shipping). I thought I would have to jump thru hoops to get the deal, but it was easy as can be. Looking forward to getting it next week.

There is talk of rolling back the absurd EPA fuel economy requirements now that we have a President not beholden to tree-huggers and extremists. Hopefully now the car makers can offer what we want, not want some bureaucrat in Washington decides we should have.

100% Trump supporter here. Been bathing in liberal tears since Tuesday and it feels great! Best part of all? Watching the shocked faces on all the mainstream media puppets faces after Trump won.

WOW! That is a ton of work. Thanks for the write up. I might just give it a try and save $150 in new resin. Just curious, is the Buckeye Supply resin the same quality as the CR Spotless resin? I wouldn't mind saving some money if the quality is similar and it lasts the same.

Thanks, think I'll save and just get 15 mkII down the road.

Thanks, didnt see that thread searching Google.

Has anyone used a Rupes 5" backing plate on the Bigfoot 21 Mark II? If so, how do you like it? How does the machine behave with the smaller bp? What is Rupes official stance on this mod? It would be nice to have the option of using 5.5"/6" pads for smaller panels where the 7" pads can be...

I've seen that chart and originally was using the unit for the final rinse only. Problem I was having, especially on my Tundra which is huge and takes a while to wash, is that the unfiltered water would dry before I could finish. I would then be left with spots, especially on the glass. I...

I have well water which is very high in Iron. I get around 120 PPM on the TDS meter. I use my CR unit from beginning to end of the wash, not just the rinse like many people do. I was surprised to get close to 20 complete washes out of a new resin pack. I won't wash a vehicle without it...

I have a CR Spotless DI unit and it is a godsend. No water spots and no drying the car (although sometimes I still dry it if it's going to be driven right away). The resin is pricey at $150 a refill, which I can get about 15-20 complete washes. I will never be without one again.

Not all, obviously. I worked at several dealerships when I was training to be a mechanic. I know for a fact that they sold "paint protection" packages that were presented to the customer as being coatings "good for 5 years". They were nothing more than a wax or sealant applied by the new...

I get it, but on a brand new car off the transporter its not a given that it will need correction. Do you think the thousands and thousands of people that pay $1K plus for "paint protection" at the dealership are getting multi-step correction? How many care or even know the difference...

Not a pro, just a hobbyist here. But I have owned my own businesses for the last 25 years. The customer is king. You give them what they want and are willing to pay for or they will find someone who will, period. Of course, you give your professional recommendation and advice. Then you let...
