    Foam Lance

    Sorry if I ask you the wrong question, but what kind of foam lance are you using the one that comes with your pressure washer or the custom one like one sold here in autogeek ? Most 8oz soap in 32oz solution should give you some serious foaming action if it doesnt give you a serious clingy foam...

    buffing pads?

    1. You want to use the flattest ones with a DA. Keep the flat pad is key with a DA so you want all the surface of the pad to touch the paint. 2. You want to use the fancy waffle design with powerful forced rotation machine like a rotary or flex da, the uneven surface when touching the paint...

    Meguiars M101 Review -- Does it live up to the hype?

    the price for this is not too attractive 50 dollars, I can see what it's worth for pros because time is money but for us weekenders I still can't swallow it.

    LC vs Meg MF Pads with UC

    Yes, UC works well with mf pads, cuts through BMW sapphire black paint no problems, and this paint is hard. Only thing is I used flexipad mf cutting pad, but I believe you should be getting similar or better result with any mf pad. UC is one of the most underrated compound imo..

    Why doesn't everyone use Opti Coat?

    When I first installed opti coat 2.0 I expected it to be more resistant from washing marrs..my car paint is soft enough for ONR wash and wipe to marr it. Opti coat 2.0 didn't have enough thickness to give enough cushion to my paint (Toyota Black Mica). So after two months I repolish the car and...

    CONFUSED - Induced Holograms With A DA?!?!

    Well I actually learnt that finishing with a rotary is indeed better than DA.. I polished with rotary/3M ultrafina/3M UK pad and for the first time polishing my black mica paint I can see myself in the paint as if I'm looking at a mirror...The only thing I hate is the splatter I really had to...

    CONFUSED - Induced Holograms With A DA?!?!

    Mike are you trying to say that rotary buffer at slow speeds is actually a less aggresive method compared to DA/Finishing pad ? Why is this a better approach ?

    Are my foam pads toast?

    I think there's a point of view as as a hobby detailer who has plenty of love for his/her car.. If you are not detailing for money then you are doing it to pamper your car's paint..And so you want only the best pad to touch you car. It's like soaping your toddlers you want the best/softest foam...

    Obscene shipping fees

    I love autogeek in my own way.. Giving them inputs on what their competitor is up to so they can stay ahead of the game.. A company/person improves by addressing problems and overcoming them...with their competitors closing down and so many I love AG posts/threads all over this forum I guess AG...

    Obscene shipping fees

    I did a comparison for shipping two bottles of 32oz of polishes and 8 mf pads between ag and another online vendor and the human generated quote by ag is still more expensive than the other vendor's computer generated quote and that is as you suggested already buffered/overcharged AG is the...

    Obscene shipping fees

    No disrespect but that's nonsense.. Other online vendor has shipping calculator and it does not make decision based on humor but on what us customers put in the shopping cart then based on our shopping cart the calculator gives instant quotes in both fedex and usps and if one option is not...

    Obscene shipping fees

    International orders is a mere fraction of autogeek's sales and in some situations may cause more harm than good (i.e credit card fraud,custom hassles) with their national sales doing so well i doubt they would really care more about their international sales. One thing they need to fix is an...
