    New At Autogeek- Black All Purpose and Wheel Towel

    That is awesome Matt, thanks so much for the photo comparison. They look strikingly similar in terms of their nap, therefore I will be buying a bunch since the Detailer MFs were my favorite The other reason why I love these darker colored towels is that you can visually pick out any foreign...

    New At Autogeek- Black All Purpose and Wheel Towel

    Is the nap similar to the Cobra detailer MFs? If these don't have any quality issues and are similar to the Detailer Mfs, then I think I will be buying a bunch!

    Review: SYN 1 (SUPER CUT / SUPER FINISH)

    That's interesting, sounds almost like the type of working time a product like XMT360 has. Does it start disappearing towards the end? I am definately interested in this stuff if it offers good cutting ability matched with a reasonable finish. Any word on the types of abrasives used?

    Mothers interior protectant, quick review...

    I find that you can make almost any dressing look matte or satin if you buff it down, but like you I prefer having a dressing that is not shiny but you know it is there so that the vinyl/rubber/plastic doesn't look naked.

    BMW Interlagos Blue swirls removed.

    Geez, why would the owner have had the car repainted already? Doesn't look like it was for a color change anyway. Great work bringing the best out of that paint, that is one of the best colors when you properly prep it to the level you did!

    Exterior correction on my own 98' VW GTI (Pic Heavy)

    Uh oh, I see an intercooler tucked away behind that bumper. ;) Great looking car, those are definately timeless designs and you did it justice!

    Review: SYN 1 (SUPER CUT / SUPER FINISH)

    Awesome review Corey, there are some definate perks to being the "in-house" AG reviewer! I appreciate that you did note the weaknesses of the products based on your expectations because I feel that most of the people who are not happy with a product have higher expectations for the product than...

    SYN 1 Poorboys World: Teaser

    I can't wait for the review, I am always looking to try the next great thing and as many people will agree, your reviews certainly command a healthy amount of respect! I would also tend to think that any smell would beat that of Menzerna polishes.

    Moving Target: 2003 Acura TL

    That is what I find XMT 360 best for. You can force it to do some correction with a more aggressive pad but I find that for the type of service I am offering, it is just better to stick with something more inline with the AIO purpose. I have really been getting very good at streamlining my...

    Moving Target: 2003 Acura TL

    This paint was very soft, and as a few of the closeups show, was enough to clean up some light marring the paint had and produced a very good paint finish. XMT360 is not really made to do any real correction anyway so unless I feel a need to step up to a white pad, I just stick with grey to amp...

    Need feedback on plan of attack

    You have a good plan of attack for sure, 106 will really jewel the paint to it's best potential which will bring the flake and gloss out as much as possible. I personally would apply two coats of Signature Series II over one coat of each because the difference in looks would be negligable and...

    Moving Target: 2003 Acura TL

    They did leave some minor etching but one hit with XMT 360, a white CCS pad, and my PC removed them completely along with very slight marring the paint had. I will definately be doing a service contract for all my future details because I really would like to avoid this from happening again. I...

    Moving Target: 2003 Acura TL

    It was a bit surprising to say the least as she was very nice up until then, but everyone wants something for nothing which is fine except I already undercut all the boutique detailing businesses in my direct vicinity by a 15% margin while spending more time on the car in the process. You are...

    Hippy Mobile: A 1964 VW Bus

    Thank you very much Bill! It is about as California as you can possibly get, definately a sweet throwback to yesteryear! I think they have a huge amount of character and charm which is why their owners are so loyal and loving. Then you have the opposite end of the spectrum where most buses...

    My flyer design(not final)

    I definately understand your challenge of avoiding wordy flyers as I have often found it difficult to balance offering enough information to accurately represent the service you offer but keeping it streamlined. Your second interation is much more concise and the overall design works very well...

    Moving Target: 2003 Acura TL

    Onto the final afters: I was really happy with the way the paint came back from just a simple one step AIO session. The only problem I had was with dressing the tires: for some reason, they would go splotchy no matter how many times I reapplied dressing but eventually I just buffed the tires...

    Moving Target: 2003 Acura TL

    I got the opportunity to spruce up this Acura TL today as scheduled for the owner after agreeing on the service and price. The car had been sitting outside for a few months and was looking a bit sorry for itself so the owner decided that it was time for a cleaning. The poor car was hit by a...

    "I have some advice for you..."

    The Sky looks awesome Corey, who cares about those stupid judges! In true highend concours judging, you better not have glossy tires and trim or swirled up paint (or any imperfections) because they judge based on factory appearance and for true perfection. That is where pursuing a natural, clean...

    Hippy Mobile: A 1964 VW Bus

    The Afters: All staining was dealt with and the paint and metal work were gleaming in the California sun. You could get a decent party going back here! I could not for the life of me find reverse I loved working on the Bus and has been one of the...

    Hippy Mobile: A 1964 VW Bus

    I scheduled a detail with the owner of this VW Camper Bus and started on schedule this morning. This is bar none the most interesting vehicle I have detailed to date, and really enjoyed getting into all the nooks and crannies. The story behind it is that the wife found the owner's original Bus...
