    Got a little anxiety going on here lol need advice for possible first paying job.

    I received a message on Facebook asking for this exact thing about a week ago. It was the customer's wife's black 2013 Suburban. After seeing some pictures I gave him a starting price and never heard from him again.

    Your favorite BLACKFIRE product and why?

    I don't use a lot of BlackFire products, but I absolutely love their Polymer Spray. It works extremely well and I will eventually buy a gallon of it. http://www.autogeek.net/blackfire-spray-sealant.html

    Need your quik opinion

    What does the customer want done to the wheels? If the customer doesn't know if they're clear coated or if they're bare aluminum you could just give the customer a price range, or a starting price, and let them know that a firm quote can be given after visually inspecting the truck. A lot of...

    Griots Garage 3 inch HD Backing Plate

    I thought long and hard about getting a Rupes Mini for smaller panels, but decided to try the new Griot's Boss three-inch backing plate and pads first. There's no way I'm going to get a Rupes Mini now because the GG6 works so well with this system. In regard to the G21 and G15, I don't think...

    Griots Garage 3 inch HD Backing Plate

    I used the new backing plate on my last job and it was fantastic! The new three-inch Boss pads work very well too. The ghosting from an RT badge was removed with a white three-inch Boss pad. I'm very happy with the new backing plate and pads.

    Griots Garage 3 inch HD Backing Plate

    I received mine today. Unfortunately I haven't used my GG6 in so long I misplaced the wrench needed to change the backing plate, so I can't test it just yet. The three-inch plate is just as small as expected. The is a little plastic screw-on cover surrounding the bit they attaches to the tool...

    Removing Defects from Mirror Caps and Stems

    Hello everyone, The majority of the vehicles I work on are modern Mopars and they all have varying degrees of surface defects (scratches, water spots, what have you) on their mirror caps and stems. Is it really called a "stem"? It's the piece that connects the mirror cap to the door. A Flex...

    Griots Garage 3 inch HD Backing Plate

    I ordered the HD backing plate and six three-inch Boss pads, among other things. They should have arrived yesterday but FedEx now says that there is no delivery date. This is the second Auto Geek order in a row with which FedEx has had problems. Hopefully it doesn't become a trend. With the...

    Mckee's N-914 Rinseless Wash - Review

    The only perceivable difference to me is the smell - McKee's has a harsh, acidic sort of scent and D114 has a old musky Kool-Aid scent. I can spray D114 all day long and will not suffer an I'll effect, but just one or two sprays of N-914 and my throat and eyes start burning like crazy. With that...

    How do you guys do it?

    Last summer I spent seven days three-stepping the paintwork and bare metal on a supercharged 426 Challenger. The brake pads would not remove the surface rust (at least not quick enough), so I had to drive it around the block. That was the most fun I've had fulfilling a pet peeve! [emoji16]

    How do you guys do it?

    A huge pet peeve of mine involves rusty rotors after washing. I can't stand it! Like others said, backing up a moving forward a few times is normally sufficient to remove light surface rust, but it one lets the rust sit and form long enough it may take a drive around the block to knock off...

    Carpro EcH2O and Reload ratio...what do you use

    1.5oz of ECH20, 2oz of Reload and 28.5oz of distilled water for a "topper." This works very well and is conservative of product.

    mckees paint coat vs OPTIMUM GLOSS-COAT

    I've been using McKee's coating for a short while and I'm getting Gloss-Coat in the mail tomorrow. I plan on putting Gloss-Coat on a red Challenger I'm working on this weekend. If it's still relevant I'll respond with my opinion about the two products next week.

    Shelf life of Blackfire??

    This is from Auto Geek's Wolfgang Deep Gloss Spritz Sealant page. "Tech note:#Wolfgang Deep Gloss Spritz Sealant is oxygen-activated. Once it is applied to the paint, it requires oxygen to bond to the paint surface. Exposure to water will “drown” the sealant, preventing it from achieving its...
