I bought a used car 11 months ago. It smelled great and I can never pin point the fragrance. It STILL smells amazing 11 months later. Does anyone have any experience with an air freshener like that? I’m wondering if it was the Nexzett one that you have to take the dash off for. Anyone dome this...

I have the Gyeon View on one car and the Dr Beasley’s pro glass coat on another. Prep is key with any coating for sure. I don’t like that Gyeon requires that you put some product on your wiper blades....what if you change them out but have no more product? Stuck with skipping wipers I guess. The...

So yeah about the pressure etc. I actually tore the pad from the Velcro. The rayon one with the cerifglass....it’s super hot here too so I think that contributed. I too thought this seemed like too much effort. Paying gigs came up so I had to pause on the project and haven’t tried kaboom or...

Thanks for the replies. I will start with some of the fine steel wool. As for the Ceriglass, I bought it with the special glass pads. I got to first use it in one of the roadshow classes. The weird thing to me is it’s a Lexus with details on the service records and the paint looks fine. What did...

So I got a used car and I saw these water spots on the windows and didn’t think much of it. Well, after going at the rear side window with: 1. A LC hybrid wool pad with CG V32 2. A CG microfiber cutting pad with CG V32 3. A LC force hybrid grey pad with CG V32 4. A glass polishing 3” pad on Flex...

Thanks Mike! Funny you had almost an exact situation ten years ago. You’re way further ahead of me than that but hey I feel like I’m on the right path asking the right questions (I hope). I haven’t made it back to the project yet but I will try and get some pics to see what the rain did.

Thanks for the replies. You guys all make solid points. I’ll give it a quick rewash......

So for most of the day yesterday, I baked in the sun as I worked. My last job was a Toyota Tundra I was going to wash yesterday then clay and polish today. No sooner had I finished drying it and an afternoon thunderstorm rolled in and poured rain. I just went inside. Any opinions on if I need to...

Weather Tech makes cleaner and protectant. It’s annoying they don’t sell sizes bigger than the spray bottle they sell. The cleaner works really well. The protectant I think is lacking in the restoring color department but does seem to help with cleaning them the next time. Auto geek sells both...

Well I know AGO hates it when we talk products not sold here but I came across Water Right hoses and have been very pleased. High quality no lead stainless steel options for connections and you can drink water out of it. waterrightinc.com ....I don’t drink water out of my hose but it’s a...

Washmitt!

Dr Beasley’s has cleaner and protectant. The cleaner works great. I have the protectant just haven’t had time to try it.

I took a trip to California last week to visit a friend. I made him take me to the Chemical Guys facility in Gardena. It was pretty cool to see in person, the staff was very helpful. After chattimg with one of the staff, I think he could tell I was above amateur status and offered to take me in...

I’m actually from Hawaii too with that recent “false alarm”. Maybe I am just a figment of my own imagination!!! Really though-hilarious guys

Before learning the Gary Dean Method from Mike at his roadshow class, I was using CG Hoseless Wash. I was following their instructions which say to just do a two bucket wash as normal but no hose. Now what I’ve been doing is taking my collection of washmitts (mostly chenille; about 7/8) and I...

I didn’t panic enough to wake the wife in the middle of the night but when she woke up I asked her to go get them out of the garage. She said they weren’t frozen and when I finally got home I saw that they do look ok. A little damp though so we’ll see. Those are all good things to watch out for...

I buffed out an Audi RS5 yesterday. I used 6 orange LC Force Hybrid Pads and 3 white ones. Pinnacle compound and polish. Job went great and I cleaned up my Pads after in my garage work sink. Then I forgot them there. I work an overnight shift so can’t get to them for a while now. I wringed them...

Here in Colorado they use magnesium chloride on the roads. This stuff wreaks havoc on cvehicles paint and chassis. I found Valugard.com and they have a line of products that deal with road salts. So far the trailer truck wash has been great. I did just yesterday have to use a touch less wash...

Re: Colorado Detailing Class with Mike Phillips at Autogeek I had a great time at this class. I liked the the fact that it was in my home state. Not only did I save on travel, but I got to see all these different products in action here in Colorado where the climate is on the dry side. I...
