    Flex PE8 vs cheap rotary

    I would be buying the backing plates, pads and extension but I could save about $20 and passing on the green and black pads as well as the towels and prep solution. But yes, basically the same thing. BTW - those pads.... VERY expensive. I'm guessing since there is not a large market. I'm almost...

    Flex PE8 vs cheap rotary

    have owed a Porter Cable 7424 for many years and just picked up the Flex 3401. Love the 3401. I mainly detail by own car and truck but every once in awhile will work on a friends vehicle as I enjoy seeing the improvement. I have 6.5", 5.5" and 4" pads for the PC and Flex. I've been looking at...

    303 Rubber Seal Protectant

    So this is 303 with a sponge applicator on the top? Seems to limit a good product in the way it can be applied. I don't see any issue with applying 303 to your own sponge or cloth and apply it where needed. I just bought a gallon of 303 for $29.00. At the price of the rubber seal 303, that would...

    Great Service from AutoGeek

    About a year ago I commented on a issue I saw with the way AG marketed it's free shipping and price match. It was just a comment but what really hit me was the condescending reply I got from AG. I had not bought anything from AG in awhile anyway but that drive me away from their store and forum...

    20% Off & Free Shipping Through Friday June 10th 2016

    Which are the two reasons why I don't order from AG any longer. Of course they try to make it look like free shipping on everything. In that they do the same thing in their emails shows that it's _not_ because they have limited characters. Obviously they are trying to entice people by making it...

    Managing Time

    Went with a friend hiking and drove through some juniper bushing so I offered to do some paint work on his truck. It was already in _very) bad condition so I just wanted to give it a quick once over. I have been detailing by own vehicle's for 9 years now (about 5 in all) and only worked on 3...

    Sad i can't stand thieves (mobile units)

    Headline states that they may be forced out of business? No insurance on that costly equipment? Video appears cut but I think there are a lot of locks that could have been used to prevent this from happening. What is to prevent someone from stealing the stuff right off the trailer with a wrench...

    Automatic Car Wash

    Have not used one for about 12 years now. Picked my car up from the airport after a long week and stopped for gas. I wanted the car nice for the weekend but was too tired to wash it that day. So I selected a wash. Drove up and waited. The doors opened and I drove in. As the doors started to...

    anyway of stopping telemarketers from calling your home phone?

    To each their own but people complain about these calls and then for some reason think giving the caller a hard time will stop the calls. Never going to happen. The callers don't own the business. They are hired to make sales. They _know_ people are going to give them a hard time. If you give...

    Dealers car wash

    Huh? If they smashed into the wall I guess the OP did not tell them not to do that either so they are not at fault for damaging the car. Or perhaps paint damage is free with every car wash so they don't need to pay for the damage. The dealer owes to return the vehicle back in the same...

    Do I need leather conditioner or coating protector?

    I'd say that leather conditions don't really do anything and all that is needed is a good vinyl protector with UV protection. That is, after you do a good job cleaning the leather. With that said, I own a few leather conditioners and use them. It simply makes me a feel a little better... that...

    Things that make you go "OUCH!!"

    Car damaged by "professional" detailers

    I'm not a professional. I mainly only detail my own vehicles. I've been doing this for about 6 years now. I've read a _ton_ of posts and watched pretty much every detailing Youtube video... twice. What I can say without a doubt is... I could do 100% better then those idiots. To me, its clear...

    Rear Bumper Damage Help

    You can't repair a plastic bumper by heating it up... 1) plastic does not work that way and 2) there is stiff foam behind that bumper. I'm guessing you are not going to have the other person pay the damage? I fail to see why but this is your call. My recommendation to _everyone_. ALWAYS get...

    Microfiber Towels

    After using edgeless towels, I agree 100%. Don't know that the silk edges really do any damage but if nothing else, it's a "feel" thing. My edgeless towel show no sign of wear. Still, those Pluffle towels are really nice. I'd recommend people give the a try. Note: I _don't_ like them for...
