    Autogeek sales?

    I reached out 3 days ago with an issue with an order. Haven't heard anything back. I have been buying from these guys for 15+ years. Things sure are not what they use to be. If I do not hear back, I will no longer be making purchases from them.

    Removing overspray from opticoated cars?

    I will report back after I try it. Worst case scenario I buff them and re apply opticoat...in which case I would have had to clay anyway. I might be able to pull off clay only on the red em1...but the black GTO who knows.

    Removing overspray from opticoated cars?

    My GTO and Civic were both opticoated over a year ago and are still beading water nicely. I accidentally got some VHT wrinkle paint overspray on the upper portion of the cars. Is there an easy way to remove this? If I clay will it remove the opticoat? Clay will probably mar the finish up...

    Dr Colorchip...before and after...

    It was hard to even capture all the damage in photo's. In person you could really see the extent of the road rash. Up close you can tell something is up with the surface but you have to be very very close. This is a huge improvement though and well worth the time and money. Thanks This is...

    Dr Colorchip...before and after...

    I used dr colorchip on my 99 civic SI today. 172XXX miles had really taken their toll on the paint. I applied it to all of the front bumper, lip, entire hood, both mirrors, some spots on the roof, behind the rear wheels, and some on the side skirt. I ran out of paint so I couldn't do the...

    I love opticoat 2.0...04 GTO w/ new wheels

    Very happy with this combo. The outside is trim ring is satin black. The main round portion of the liquidome is gloss black. And inside the arrowhead is reflective black. The reflective black really flops around and as you can see in one of these pics it is taking the color of the wheel.

    I love opticoat 2.0...04 GTO w/ new wheels

    I love opticoat. I put my new powdercoated wheels on yesterday...but first I had to opticoat... The rest of the car was opticoated about a month ago. Still beading great. I love how this stuff resists dust. The whole car was wetsanded a few months ago.

    Some DIY bodywork/ paintwork with the help of a friend...

    Gave the garage some much needed attention. Sticker bombed the breaker box. Made this cool light that gets hot enough to melt metal. This thing is crazy. It will be like the super swirl finder.
