    How do you polish tail lights?

    Is it the same procedure for headlights? Is there anything different I should be aware of? Also, is it okay for me to use a pad on the plastic tail light, wash it, then use it back on the paint or that's a "no no"? Thanks Sent from my Nexus 5 using Autogeekonline mobile app

    Hi guys, I'd like to hear your thoughts on which you prefer of the above and why. Also what you do or don't like about pressure washers or regular garden sprayers to wash your vehicles. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Autogeekonline mobile app

    How should I clean my dirty drills?

    Hey guys, I do a lot of car work. Taking off wheels, bolts, engine stuff etc. My drills are getting pretty dirty from grease and dirt. What should I use to clean them? Obviously i can't use water as it will damage the internals. I'm thinking maybe simple green, varsol (smelly) or brake clean...

    How do you clean machined wheels?

    Hey guys, just got a new (used) set of machine wheels for my car. Google (rotiform nue) I'm wondering how I should go about cleaning them and polishing them if need be....I'm not sure if you're even supposed to polish these.

    Winter washing

    Hey guys, winter is here and temps are at freezing. Obviously I can no longer wash my cars as the water will just freeze within seconds of being on the car. I haven't tried waterless rinse, is it effective at removing dirty cars from snow and such? Or should I stick to the traditional touchless...

    Deionizer AND water softener....overkill?

    I'm on well water and its very hard. Honestly just wash in the shade, and be quick about drying the car down. A quick wax spray will clear up 99% of the water spots before they dry. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Autogeekonline mobile app

    Need help removing oil overspray

    Update: Neither hosing off with apc or touchless car wash worked. If anyone encounters this issue skip ahead and go straight to two bucket wash with a mitt. Toss the mitt afterwards Sent from my Nexus 5 using Autogeekonline mobile app

    Need help removing oil overspray

    Alright fair enough. Now, do you think it'll be necessary to re-wax? As I assume the oil spray and and wax mix together as they're both hydrophobic? I suppose I'll know if it doesn't bead water lol... Sent from my Nexus 5 using Autogeekonline mobile app

    Need help removing oil overspray

    Hi guys, yesterday I coated the underbody of my car with rust check in preparation of the upcoming winter. What I didn't realize was that the car is now entirely covered in a fine mist of oil overspray from the cans. If I take it to a touchless car wash will that remove most of the oil spray or...

    Lint? Speckles left behind from microfiber?

    Nono, I think this is something else the OP is suggesting. I believe I have the same problem. It always happens when the towel is wet. Try going over the surface again with a dry towel. Even make a couple of "towel passes" it should come right off Sent from my Nexus 5 using Autogeekonline...

    Dressing Wheel Wells

    Yeah I'll dress the wheel wells on suv/trucks, but on my personal car it sits low so it's a pain to take off the wheel and clean/dress the wells. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Autogeekonline mobile app
