    Dealership preparation

    I know how you feel when you take your car somewhere to be serviced. You don't feel right until you get it back un-scarred and un damaged. You also don't want to let on that it bothers you so much because then you can almost be sure some jerk will do something JUST to get under your skin. I...

    Thieves Strike Again!!

    I'm sorry for your loss. This kind of thing is so commonplace nowadays. It happens everywhere. (Everyplace there are lowlife _______) I had a brand new 9 mm 17 shot handgun stolen out of my apartment under circumstances similar to yours. Locked apartment, no one knew how it happened. The police...

    Welcome to Autogeek, Kyleorsini. I got a 3" backing plate and pads for my GG 6, but in my opinion you can wait on that. How about some ONR? (Optimum No Rinse) You can buy some, dilute it, and use it for a detailer, a rinseless wash, and as a clay lube. Since you're starting from scratch (so to...

    Dampsanding Tools, Tips and Techniques by Mike Phillips

    Two winning products. I've never used them together, but there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to. Please send some pics on your final finish. Should be nice.

    Wash tool needs to be offered by AG

    I have that problem with my vehicle, a SUV. It's impossible to reach the top when I am using my buffer. I bought a platform from Walmart for $36.00. It is rated for 300 lbs., and standing on it gives me the leverage that I need in order to wash, wipe, or buff. I'm pretty happy with it, and I can...

    Why is everyone afraid of rotary polishers? And what's this about not finishing properly?

    I think if you are going to try it that you just have to do it. You have nothing to fear but fear itself. (I think someone else said this too. LOL) Seriously, though; I admire you for just getting out there and doing it with a rotary polisher. I bought a Flex rotary, and in the back of my mind...

    Photos won't upload?

    I thought it was just me. I can't upload pictures from my desktop computer. I still don't know if I'm doing something wrong, leaving some step out of the process, or if there's a problem with my browser, network, or something else. It's pretty frustrating.

    I am ROYALLY PISSED OFF!

    There are several wheel and tire cleaners on the market that seem to damage your wheel and tires more than help. I don't know if anyone else has had the same type of problems I had, but I'm very careful now about the products I use on my wheels and tires. I don't seem to have issues with any...

    Father needs advice on how best to detail car in 1h - for reasonable $$

    think the 5 hours you spent detailing your car is about average, or maybe a little less time than average. You don't have to spend every weekend doing a 5 hour detail. If you apply a coating, all you'll have to do is a wash and a short time cleaning your tires, interior, and windows. I'll do the...

    WOW....prince is dead at 57

    Wow, I didn't hear about it, thanks for the info. I always thought that Prince lived a healthy lifestyle, and it's surprising to me that he died at such a young age. Fifty-seven, that's way too young. I know that living without drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and the rest is no guarantee to a long...

    what's your weather currently like?

    Washington, DC - Sunny, temp is in the 60's. Nice day to get out and detail if it wasn't for the pollen coming off the trees. Everything is coated with a green powder, and it's falling like snow. I wanted to polish and coat my car, but I have to do it outside, and I think I'll wait until the...

    Key Scratch Advice

    You may not want to hear this, but take it from someone who's in a similar situation as yours. I have water marks on my hood that has penetrated the clear coat, so wet sanding is probably a solution I need as well. If I was in your shoes, I would take it to someone who is at home doing this type...
