Aquapel. Although it has incredible performance, I’ve never used a product that requires so much attention to apply correctly. It’s simply not worth the effort, especially if you’re in a production environment or are a professional.

CG has a ton of soap variations. Like everything else they produce, there's TONS of overlap and waste in their product lines. There's a couple things that aren't too bad, but when 95% of it is garbage rebrand to maximize profits, I tend to just stay away completely as that's not the kind of...

Agree. Got to try the Force pad out today. So many improvements over the Hybrid pads. It's a very clear upgrade, IMO. Why AG doesn't sell them just makes no sense to me.

The thing is they work fine on any DA, forced-rotation or not, and and any rotary which have all been widely available forever. So it just doesn't make sense why AG isn't carrying them.

Any update on this?

I have. My biggest problem is I've read countless things about M100, M101, and M105 and there's nothing consistent about that info. I don't like using something unless I have a good idea about the product.

Excellent, guys! I have gotten wildly misleading information on these products when they've been compared and this seems to set the record straight with me. I was wondering because I'm currently looking for an alternative to M105 which I've used forever. Extremely fast cut and great results...

I don't think anyone answered this guy's original question, which I'm also interested in hearing. What's the difference between HD Cut+/Polish+, 3D Ultra Compound/Polish, and AAT Rubbing Compound/Finishing Polish and why would you use one over the other?

I'm guessing it might be the abrasives, but I'm simply not finding enough info on their site to determine that.

I'm slightly confused. It's being called a one-step finishing polish. It's the "one-step" that's throwing me off. It takes the place of HD Adapt which was a dedicated polish, so is this a dedicated polish? If so, what's the difference between this and HD Polish? "One-step" is usually a...

Such a good write up. I enjoy reading these so much. I'm interested, but I have one concern. It seems like there is a cost to this process and that's product. Much more product. At least five times more product than a normal two-bucket system would use. That's not an insignificant amount, IMO...

Flex 3401 and keep your PC to convert it for 3" pads.

I dismissed boars hair brushes for a very long time, but for some reason picked one up from AG earlier this year to help clean the roofs on larger vehicles. I've now transitioned to using it on the large majority of surface area instead and that's because I've had zero issues with it introducing...

I don't even top HD Speed. It is an AIO after all. What I do instead is just throw a nice spray wax on to boost it on every maintenance wash every two weeks. Either D156 or AquaWax. I have some HD Express I got from a mystery box that I'll try next time.

Using the mantra of "always use the least aggressive product", it's just something that you'd need to test. Yes, more neglected cars with more bonded contaminants may need the medium over the light. My personal experience is there isn't much I haven't been able to remove effectively with just...
