    Clay bar

    After doing a baggie test if your paint feels like 80-grit sandpaper consider buying a medium grade clay bar product. If you have some but not tons then consider a fine grade for this step. If you do use the medium grade you might 'mar' the paint even with a good lubricant. That would...

    Going Flex...!

    Okay I see I am bit late to jump into the new CBEAST pool. Mine arrived this week! Question for all, anything I should do to except charge the batteries and get it out of the box? Next puzzle like I see from others is deciding the pad choices. Next on my dream list, Flex to make a cord...

    My bride is awesome!

    Great gift and a real classic I watched as a kid. But the real question is "Did she keep the coin slot functional and requires you to pay for each game". LOL Would be a great way for her to save up for the next gift! Have fun Spikey Mike!

    Review: P&S Play Maker All in One - 2016 Chevy Impala - Production Detailing

    I tried this out on my rental car last year up against BF One Step. I had no problems and could not tell a difference between the two products except a slight edge to BF One Step (it was really close, dark grey Hertz rental Chevrolet Malibu). But again Professor Paint, aka. Mike Phillips, can...

    I had the same question and Tornador replied a minimum of 5CFM or better plus a larger 20+ gallon tank. Pressure of 78-90psi is ideal. It can function on a lower CFM but will drain air rapidly making the tool useless while you wait for compressor to refill. Designed for shop use and large air...

    When you order two items you never think of two boxes. Let's have a bit of fun. Can anyone care to guess what comes from AG in these sizes of boxes?

    Question for those that have used all of the machines...

    From a perspective watch some of Mike Phillip's videos on the topic, and remember he counts the passes! The G9 compared to G15 or G21 for correction will be the same. Difference is the orbital stoke is larger for their size, 15mm or 21mm. Each of your passes then with the larger stroke is...

    I have a bottle but have not tried this one yet. Does anyone know if leaves slick surface on the dash and panels? Appears to be shiny in the product pages. Can it be wiped down to more natural matte finish? Just curious

    Finally my order from a couple of weeks ago arrived with the Gyeon PPF products (shipment was delayed to AG warehouse shelves). Plus can try Mike Phillip's tire cleaning trick and the new DP Iron Remover. Lake Country pads for a new Griots Polisher.

    September detail class?

    Mike, I attended this class back in Jan-2019 in order to try out all the tools and supplies. What new tools do you have in this year's class given all the new releases by Rupes, Griots, and Flex? I am looking for good reason to escape the house and come try out new stuff.

    Copper Ford F-150 Platinum Edition

    Really nice job and easy write-up on the process. Question: How many times did you clean and rinse each tire before you applied the tire coating? That is unusual color on your truck, a nice change from some of the other lighter colored options!

    Do right by your customer

    Spikey Mike Yes, you did the right thing for yourself and the customer. You gave the customer the truth. Yes that white paint was annoying, but given what you uncovered allowed you to educated the customer, a win for you both. Tip: I had to remove some paint overspray a few years ago and...

    75’ run from bib to car: how would split hose length?

    I think you are forgetting the electrical cord length. A water hose has a larger volume so will be able to be better than the pressure hose.

    Industrial paint overspray removal

    I have been following the suggestion of Levi Gates from The Rag Company, Lacquer Thinner. Works quite well and easily found in local suppliers. Have used it on a few cars and my own for road stripping that was fresh and of course tar. Did not affect the paint but as always try a small amount...
