    Lamborghini Gallardo Rough Paint Tips Needed

    I have an 09 Gallardo right now and as you can see, the paint is pretty rough. The car has been washed, clayed, and washed again. The previous owner had a clear bra on but has still neglected the exterior of this car. I've tried Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover with both an orange and then a yellow...

    The Definitive How-To Article for Removing Swirls, Scratches and Water Spots Using a Porter Cable 7424XP, G110v2 or Griot's Garage Polisher

    In your initial videos, you slather down the lines of product on the pad pretty thick. You've mentioned using a circle or X pattern will allow you to not have the need of priming a pad, but if we prime, can we still get by with 4-6 pea-sized drops like we can with other moderate polishes and...

    Bird crap on my brand new paint

    Well luckily the rain started early and started heavy today in the early afternoon. So I just blasted it and any other loose dirt away with my garden hose (I'm sure the neighbors thought it was weird me out there squirting a car down in the moderately heavy rain) when I got home and then wiped...

    Bird crap on my brand new paint

    I'm just wondering what logic the universe uses when it comes to new cars/new washes and nature. 100-year drought? Quick, spend 6 hours detailing your car. Next day = floods. Same damn parking spot out in the open away from utility lines, poles, trees, etc for 3 1/2 years in a Jeep. Not a...

    Bird crap on my brand new paint

    I'm swinging by a car wash after work to get rid of it. My AG order has the products I'll be keeping in my trunk bag for emergency spots and spills inside and out, but until then I've got a ratty MF mitt and Meg's Gold Class car wash and California Gold wax at home. Thanks y'all!

    Bird crap on my brand new paint

    So I just bought a brand new VW GLI in Tornado Red on Thursday. Friday was my first day at work with it and wouldn't you know I walk out to a huge pile of bird crap on on the roof. Luckily, this was right in the middle of my sun roof so it was easily removed with some glass cleaner when I got...

    How long should I wait for shipping before my concerns are warranted?

    I guess the issue with my order was the mitt that I ordered was backordered. Nowhere on the description did it say this, which is why I placed it in my cart. Oh well. I received both a call and email on Thursday asking if I'd like another color. I let them know that purple is fine and they...

    How long should I wait for shipping before my concerns are warranted?

    I emailed them and they didn't respond to that email, but they did coincidentally tell me that one item on my order list is backordered (new mitt) and told me they have different colors. Since I didn't buy it for the color I used let them know a purple mitt is fine. Not sure if that's the hold...

    How long should I wait for shipping before my concerns are warranted?

    Regarding that sale, I placed my order using my 15% off code for brand new members. Within 6 hours I get an email for the Spring Cleaning 20% off sale. Ha! After the discount my order was $152, so another 5% would have only saved me a few bucks. Still, that's my luck!

    How long should I wait for shipping before my concerns are warranted?

    Hey, thanks for that. Works for me. We've got a nice weekend coming up (80s and sunshine) and was hoping to get a first detail in on the new car I pick up today after work, but unfortunately I couldn't create an order list quick enough for that to happen so it'll have to wait until next...

    How long should I wait for shipping before my concerns are warranted?

    I placed an order on Monday (though my order sheet shows it was placed on the 28th, probably due to me being in the 11 PM hour of central time when placing my order) and selected ground shipping. I'm aware that once shipped, ground shipping takes a few days to arrive, but the website says all...

    Hello from OKC!

    Long time listener (sort of), first time caller here. I've followed Autogeek's YouTube channel for a while now, but only recently discovered the forums. Unfortunately, it was too late for why I initially came here. I was in the process of selling my Jeep to buy a new VW but the sale happened...
