    Oops….didn’t see the other thread. I’m sure Mike has something greater in store! We’ll just have to wait and see. (Hopefully sooner rather than later)

    Just opened my daily Autogeek email to find the news that you’re leaving Autogeek! Needless to say, I was shocked! Of course, you have to do what is best for you and your family, but I hope you have plans to stay active in the detailing world! Kinda like Jay Leno leaving The Tonight Show to...

    Polisher inducing scratches help

    Nice clean TA! Is yours a 98? Glad to see that we are keeping it alive! I have the 01 so wondering if the paint hardness/softness possibly changed?? I was doing a 50/50 shot with tape, so when I was finished, I pulled the tape off and wiped off the compound that was stuck around the tape and...

    Want to give a HUGE thank you to Mike for taking the time to diagnose and walk me through the steps of finding the right combo to correct my car. The combo that ended working flawlessly with the Supa Beast was the yellow Rupes pad teamed with the Pinnacle Advanced Compound. Also, used Mike’s...

Used the Supa Beast with a yellow Rupes polishing pad and Pinnacle polish. It shined the test spot and took out some of the swirls and scratches, but...

    SONAX Glass Cleaner as a Prep Wash

    Hello Mike, I’ll start using the Sonax glass cleaner for the prep wash before machine polishing, but could any typical glass cleaner work? Thinking I could save money by buying in bulk at Sam’s Club or Costco’s. Secondly, any waterless wash recommendations for when the car has already been...

    Supa Beast Tackling Scratches

    Well, the Supa Beast characteristic is to pull you at times, but to minimize this, you want to keep the pad flat, make sure the pad is properly lubricated and don’t buff over two panels of varying body lines at the same time. Once I started doing that, it was a much smoother process. Sent...

    Supa Beast Tackling Scratches

    Hey Bruno. I don’t do this for money either, but after much discussion with Mike Phillips I pulled the trigger on one. Don’t have to worry about stalling and you can go up on edge with ease. Like Mike said, this one tool can basically do it all. Plus the quality of the tool is fantastic being...

    So I got my first chance to test the Supa Beast on several scratches. They were on the passenger side of this Ford Escape. Damage was from a bicycle running along the side of it. Used a combo of Pinnacle Polish and Pinnacle Compound. Below are some before and after shots….. Sent from my...

    Headlight polishing

    Headlights were getting hazy, so I had to clean it up. 50/50 shot after using Meguiars Plastx and a buffer. Took less than 5 minutes. Sent from my iPhone using Autogeekonline mobile app
