    Using a paint coating on a powder coated bumper

    Yes you can and it should last just as long as it does on paint.

    Looking for a Ceramic Coating leaflet

    Here's the one from Opti-Coat that we use, though I'm not a huge fan and will likely come up with my own soon enough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Topping opti coat

    The Optimum maintenance products are designed with a chemical synergy to perform best with Optimum coatings. Would be cool to see a side by side comparison using Opti-Seal or Hyper Seal vs another brand like Gyeon.

    How can I tell if my car still has opti-coat on it?

    You can call Optimum and check the vin to find out if it is Opti-Coat Pro or OC 2.0 or Gloss Coat. Either way polishing to remove the swirls will remove the coating.

    Rupes MkII backing plate explosion

    No washer mod, not necessary with the MkII I have full faith they will do their best to find out what caused the problem :) No washer mod, not necessary with the MkII The black residue is mostly from the safety guard that the backing plate rubs on, some may be from the pad washer/polish.

    Rupes MkII backing plate explosion

    We run on speed 3-4 90% of the time with the occasional 5-6. Pads are buff n shine maroon. Bolt used to back out every time we used it when we first got it. Then we tightened it really tight with blue threadlock and haven't had any issues since. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My new favorite finishing pad!

    After going to an Optimum seminar at N~Touch Detailing in Eugene and seeing how well the CarPro Gloss Pads perform I decided to order a bucketful from AG. They have since become my go to pad for finishing on dark paints. Wish I had these when I was working on that black Tesla in January. On a...

    Rupes iBrid Status

    I wonder if I will get one by the end of summer if I order now... or if I should just wait until AG has them in stock and put the money towards a new extractor for now.

    What's the biggest thing you're struggling with in your business?

    Obtaining, training, and retaining quality employees... managing people is my biggest challenge as I never had any experience before starting my business. I'm constantly learning though and I think I've got a good team of 3 people going into summer this year.
