    How to wash your car using the two bucket method

    Thanks Mike! Three years later and I wash it the same way when it is above freezing. Also, thanks so much for all the information. I will be an Autogeek customer for life. Jon Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Autogeekonline mobile app

    Quickest way to get 'er done?

    I do have hot/cold running water outside and I use this method all the time. Having a great wax on the car is invaluable for a quick clean. Thank you Mike for making us all better car owners.

    After the rain

    Awesome ideas. I am using the Wolfgang rinseless diluted to whatever it said to use as a waterless. I will give the ONR a shot next.

    After the rain

    A scenario that seems to be common enough for me that I should have a standard procedure. So I drive 35 nasty highway miles in a pouring rain. Like any good Autogeek I recently put Fuizon over a couple week old coat of WGPS3.0 so when I stopped hard in the garage nearly all the rain rolled off...

    Coating questions? Do they degrade? Are you married to them? Can you go back to a wax or sealant?

    Hahahahahahahaha - a whole year. How many people here have waxed a whole car more than once inside of a week for a slightly less than sane reason? (or is that just something I do?)

    how often does everyone go to the dentist?

    I write code for a living for an auto manufacturer and I come home a train like a competitive powerlifter. Believe me, I know all about body maintenance and have a chiropractor and massage therapist I visit frequently. The body is a system of systems. Speaking specifically about the...

    how often does everyone go to the dentist?

    Funny enough, I was just brushing my teeth and while moving my electric toothbrush along the prescribed pattern I had the odd thought that I am actually not brushing, but rather machine polishing with an aggressive compound. I follow up with an aggressive Listerine rinse and a good floss. Am I...

    Advice for a Newbie

    Drive North, pay the $4 and then go West. Stop before you get to Wisconsin. I live in Northville which is also a short drive to the People's Republic of Ann Arbor. (I am a Husky by undergrad but my Master's made me a Husky-Wolverine which my mother thought was hysterical when she coined it) It...

    Advice for a Newbie

    She doesn't ask about my "carwash stuff" and I don't ask about her clothing purchases. She accepts that washing the car makes me happy so off I am sent. One time her eyes got really big when I pulled out "all" of my chemicals. (It wasn't even like a third of my stock, I was just setting up to...

    Advice for a Newbie

    Hysterically awkward secret handshake returned. Java is for drinking, C (and begrudgingly C++ and Python) are for coding. The condescending UNIX user from the Dilbert comics is my career goal. My collection of microfiber products is bordering on embarrassing. I have different colored wash...

    Advice for a Newbie

    I use a rinseless occasionally. I use the leaf blower rarely and rely on the electric dryer. I have all the stuff on hand and the hose is coiled right beside my driveway. It only takes 4-6 minutes to get set up. I am a software development engineer but I have been in the auto industry long...

    Advice for a Newbie

    You might notice that I basically just regurgitated information from your book and all of the ridiculously detailed and well-written articles you publish. I don't post much because there is almost no question that hasn't been answered here already. :-) It is mind bogglingly easy to get a car...

    Advice for a Newbie

    I am almost literally in the same boat but a few years into this. I traverse I-275 and I-696 basically daily and I like to keep my little ATS super shiny because I park in a sea of Cadillacs. That said I have tried lots but I have gotten to the point where I got up a little early today and my...
