That's where I'm at now with my Flats and CCS, I swap them out between section passes to let them cool. I do four passes a section with the 21mm. Sent from my SM-G950U using Autogeekonline mobile app

So maybe the title is misleading, but my pads are warming up to the touch when polishing or compounding on my 21mm orbital. I polish on my machines number 4 setting (3800/3900 OPM), only apply enough pressure to keep the DA on the car, and use three pea size dots of polish or compound (AIO is a...

You're correct, the conditioners (lanolin, mink oil, etc) are not getting through the CC and rehydrating the leather on Pigmented Leather. To rehydrate the leather you need to strip the "dye" (it's really a paint I suppose) and then apply a prep and hydrator to restore the leathers moisture...

To begin, let me say I'm an amateur at leather repair right now. I'm learning the craft namely to fix my own cars seat that had the dye damaged. I'll pass along some of the care information I'm very fortunate to have been taught. So, of you have Pigmented Leather seats (to tell you're seats...

FYI, Craftsman (if you want a name brand) makes a digital and analog (cheaper and just as good a job) torque wrench that would work well. Unless your constantly swapping tires or torque to spec projects, any thing else is overkill IMHO. As for cleaning, I deep clean the wheels on the family...

So, I've started to learn the art of leather repair out of necessity for fixing my own car. If you're BMW has Pigmented leather; characterized by uniform color and pattern, doesn't scratch easy (think fingernail dragging easy), and doesn't absorb water and change color with water application...

Similar, I run Marvel Mystery Oil in my car and my airplane. I noticed the performance increase, cleaner cylinders, cleaner valves, and overall better smoothness to the engine in the car. I also toss MMO in the oil 1,000mi before change just to ensure I knock everything loose Sent from my...

There is a nice lead substitute made by motor medic I use for my unleaded airplane fuel. Adds just that nice little bump of cushion for the valves. MMO for the win too Sent from my SM-G950U using Autogeekonline mobile app

Depends on the alloy they are made from. Some react with different alkalines and acids but not others. If you want to know for sure, check the acid type in the Wheel Brightener then call your wheel manufacturer and ask about if it's safe or not. Sent from my SM-G950U using Autogeekonline...

So, I have a slight knack for getting big vehicles in small places thanks to a wonderful Air Force Vacation. We would have to back the 6,000 Gallon fuel trucks (Oshkosh R-11 anyone?) into a tent shelter that had only (at most) four inches of clearance a side. At first, it was a daunting task...

I think the OP is simply stating that we as detailers can look down on products because they aren't premier brands when in reality, they do a fine job. Do I believe in the products sold by AG, you betch! Do I look down my nose at the store shelves when someone needs to buy wash supplies, nope. I...

What are you looking to accomplish? If you just want clean, well keep on keeping on my man! If you want to keep the swirls and marring down after undergoing a paint correction, apply a paint sealant, "coating lite," or coating. Mike's suggestion of Sonex seems great! There's plenty of spray on...

It looks great!! What coating did you use? Sent from my SM-G950U using Autogeekonline mobile app

You hit the nail on the head. If I'm working a curve I'm more inclined to just grab a different tool for the job that does it better. Maybe if it's a super small area and I don't want to grab the 3 in rotary for some odd reason, I can live with a partial contact. Sent from my SM-G950U using...

McKee's claims 12 months regular use. I've seen a lot of reviews range from 9-14 months. There's a lot of environmental factors. For me, in the Mid West, the coating made way more sense on the bigger vehicles because it took so long to get a good application of RainX on. The McKee's I won't have...

I have been a long time RainX user and very happy with my results. I just hate every four to six weeks applying it to a Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee so I switched to McKee's 37 Glass Coating and think very highly of it! For covering all the windows on multiple vehicles it was cheaper than...

My dad just had to do this. Same exact thing. DOS said he needed the official one so he had to contact the county he was born in. Sent from my SM-G950U using Autogeekonline mobile app

For both my Military and Civilian passports I submitted my original certificate and it was mailed back to me. Make a photocopy for personal records in case you need it during the three week turn around. Sent from my SM-G950U using Autogeekonline mobile app

I personally have the Meguiars non acid wheel and tire cleaner and it does a very good job for myself and my family as we live on a dirt road. I clean them till the foam is white (sometimes it takes three brushings with rinsing in between to get there) and then top the dry tire with Meguiars...

Ok so here's a question and I'm in a very similar boat (except mine is leaky some days). Is the 303 Marine fabric protect ok for car interiors? I see it says for "outdoor use" but AG sells it and markets it for car interiors. Is this safe or should I buy the auto interior fabric protect? Sent...
