    yep, have read the article provided by mike, looking forward to putting it to use first chance I get, now just waiting to see what this massive storm coming out way is going to do. usually have my camaro back on the road by mid march but not sure right now.

    wetsanding hard tree sap marks?

    have tried the hand sanitizer, tried the hair dryer, have tried everything. will try it all again when the weather warms up here in the east, will repeat it all again. this stuff is hard like cement hard. used an actual razor blade to pick a little off one spot but stopped because it was too...

    wetsanding hard tree sap marks?

    I honestly can't express how hard these spots are, supposed to be cherry sap but it is more like superglue. lets just say the previous owner had no concept of two bucket wash or proper cleaning technique. about the only thing he did right was park it inside during our harsh winters in this area.

    wow, got the grand poobah of detailing to reply to my post!! :) I tried to do what you suggest but at the time it was really cold and windy and I had no heated garage. fully intend to try this once again once the weather improves, I have a vacation week in late april that should afford me...

    wetsanding hard tree sap marks?

    I tried that flash but it was pretty cold out when I did, maybe the cold affected it, not sure but maybe I will give it a go once it warms back up. figured I have to get some fine scratches out anyway so the orange pad idea I thought might heat them up and possible soften them enough to use...

    wetsanding hard tree sap marks?

    I have these super hard tree sap spots all over the top of my 2011 Black 2SS Camaro. I know from contacting the previous owner that it is cherry tree sap and it has been on it for a couple years. I have literally tried every thing to remove them before putting the car in storage for winter...

    Chance to win some AutoGeek Gear!

    I use different ones but I have a summer go to, Meguiars pro line #26 Yellow wax liquid in the tan bottle, generally get a month of use with each application, don't mind reapplying monthly since it goes on and off with so little effort and it makes the look so warm and enviting! for a winter...

    Giveaway! Pinnacle Advanced Wheel Cleaner Concentrate

    I have some of the waterless wash that I bought last year when you had the two for one going on it. have used it for the main purpose as well as thinning it out and using it as lube for claying and detailing after waxing. works well at multiple applications when mixed properly! I have a need...

    I love this Forum!

    I plan on a big buy most years in the spring or around this time, but having to buy so much in previous years I really don't have need for a ton of stuff. I agree $75 would be a better starting point for free shipping. a lower flat rate would be better option. I ended up getting the one item I...

    I love this Forum!

    I tend to buy a fair amount of items from the site over the last few years but there are times when I just need a couple items and when I go to check out I see the cost of shipping and decide to go else where. would love to give all my business to AG but there are times when paying too high for...

    Tree sap!!! How to remove it?!?!

    spent several hours trying to get just one of the spots to go away to no avail. what ever it is has dried solid and nothing will take it off. think I will take it to a couple body shops and get estimates on getting it removed/buffed out.

    Tree sap!!! How to remove it?!?!

    been trying to remove a dozen or so splotches that I think are dried sap, they are slightly raised above the clear and are light colored and hard as heck, I have tried alcohol, mineral spirits, hand sanitizer, but have been working outside and it is close to winter here and the eliments are...

    Any tips with Collinite 476?

    I love Collinite both 845 and 476, both awesome. I use 845 on the rims of my Camaro, 476 goes on the paint for winter, two thin layers and believe me it lasts all winter!

    Review-Collinite Double Coat wax

    used it for the first time as my winter wax last winter and was very impressed, lasted 5+ months with ease. applied it in November and remove it in April when I do my spring detail. was still repelling water pretty well and could have waited another month or so if I wanted. Good stuff!

    Collinite - Sealant or Wax

    I use 476 for my winter wax, I don't drive my car in the winter I just park it for 3 months or so on tender and before I tender it I use the 476 and it lasts throu winter and into spring with no problem. used 845 in the past and it lasts but just not quite as long as 476, both great waxes for...

    What are you listening to...?

    I am a die hard AIC fan and to me Staley and william duvall don't sound all that much alike. Duvall does a great impression of staley in concert IMO many of the songs on the new CD are way too slow in developing, and several are too long as well. I don't expect AIC to ever sound like the...
