    What is the deal on "swirl Lights"?

    I had a brinkman that AG sells and dropped it and it broke after a few months and worked great looking for swirls. My only complaint is that it was large and bulky. I recently purchased an LED flashlight off amazon. It was $30 after shipping and seems to be much more durable and much smaller and...

    Need Quality Friends

    I grew up in a small town with a ton of friends and was extremely social. My dad owns a successful body shop and works his fingers to the bone and that rubbed off on me when I graduated high school. I put friends on the back burner and worked as a retail manager for 7 years then a company...

    Which brand is forbidden to be spoken around you?

    Which brand is forbidden to be spoken around you?

    Both are very aggressive. I normally hate anyone who says "best in the world" IMO best is an extremely subjective term. Also a lot of CGs videos and website info is a lot of made up nonsense. I understand that a lot of advertisement and marketing is that way but something about The way CG...

    Which brand is forbidden to be spoken around you?

    Chemical Guys. I use them and like a handful of products but their marketing is a huge turn off to me. Because of that when I'm searching for something new I look at them last a lot of times. Croftgate I will never purchase because of their marketing as well. Oh and The General car...

    Polishing after repaint questions

    I would assume it all has to do with the type of products used. My dad using a couple different types of clear at his shop depending on the product, location, heat, ect ect. Different shops may use different formulations. I would give it 30 days just to be safe. You have sealer, color coat, and...

    Polishing after repaint questions

    Thanks Mike. Answered pretty much exactly what I want to know. I have been thinking about that 305. Would it work as a prewax cleaner or glaze under your LSP as well or since the product contains wax would that not be a good idea? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Polishing after repaint questions

    I just repainted my trailblazer SS. My dad owns a body shop so he did all the leg work mostly. He uses all PPG paint. It has already been wet sanded (1500,3000, & 4000 grit) and buffed with a rotary wool pad followed by a foam pad using 3m compound and polish. I have my PC and flex I'm going to...

    What soap for my dirty truck?..PICS

    I think something that may be over looked. What LSP are you using? I am still a big fan of carnuba wax look but possibly a strong sealant or coating would be better suited for your situation. With a good coating applied properly any soap or shampoo will be fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    COPO Camaro - Flex vs Rupes - Carbon Fiber Hood Extreme Makeover

    Looks great. I am firm believer in technique trumps product and not every product will give you the same result in every car. Mike I would love to hear more on how you jewel with a machine like the flex. I am assuming a light polish and a light pad but what speed do you prefer and how much arm...
