    You know you're obsessed when

    Guys I know what you're talking about. Watching a new show on Velocity and they were working on a $200,000 Audi. When the lights hit it I wanted to buff it out so bad. They ended up sanding it but I wanted to buff it out anyway. Now that's Obsessed!

    Detailer's with bad back's check in.

    If I buy a Flex 3401, Can I Complete any Given Job Faster?

    I've been a rotary buffer man for over fifty years and can do just about anything with one. I tried some other orbital machines and wasn't too impressed until I got my Flex 3401 from AG.net. This is the only machine, that I have used, that can compete with a rotary. I have been converted. It...

    High quality production detailing by Mike Phillips

    Mike, Thank you so much. The article was great and just what I wanted to read. I have the Klasse and D151 and like both. Mainly wanted something more aggressive than the Klasse and longer lasting than the 151. Thought the XMT 360 might just fit the bill so I will order some. This may sound crazy...

    High quality production detailing by Mike Phillips

    The Tahoe looks great. I have customers asking for a quick detail that I want to service who frankly can't afford the kind of three or four step work that I like to do. After I use the Nanoskin Auto Scrub pad on my Flex 3401 will Pinnacle XMT 360 give me reasonable results using a white ccs 5.5...

    How Do I know what polish/pads to use? So many options!!

    My favorites are the Lake Country Orange, White and Blue CCS 5.5 inch in that order with Wolfgang Uber or Total Swirl Remover then WG Finishing Glaze and finish off with WG Paint Sealant 3.0. I use a Flex but the PC will give the same results. If you prefer Meguiars then their Ultimate compound...

    4" pads burning and warping

    Just a quick question. I have some of these pads, larger size, and a Flex 3401 and use mainly Wolfgang water based products. I detailed a couple of family cars with Meguiars Ultimate Compound and Polish, saving a dollar or two on daily drivers. The WG's are water based and the Meg's are...

    Foundations of Good Correction help

    I can't comment on the bra but if the product your using is drying try a quick detailer to wet it then it should wipe off with no trouble. The links that jamesboyy posted for you should help you get the hang of using the DA pads and putting the product on. If you watch Mike Phillips videos on...

    Wolfgang Instant Detail Spritz And Collinite 845

    I buy it by the gallon and use it on everything. I haven't found any other detailer that compares. Just keep the vehicle dry for a few hours and as it dries the shine increases. I especially like Spritz on top of Fusion, Klasse and Collinite 845.

    You'll Never Guess What Products I Used

    High to all. I've been doing this for fifty years and they have been making car wax for as long as I can remember. I used to take a rotary buffer, some Turtle Wax, a bottle of water and make a completely worn out paint job look amazing. In low end store shelf products I've always thought theirs...

    Which Brand 3" Backing Plate?

    3M Clean Sanding 3 inch Disc Backing Plate Kit - 20427 I don't own this backing pad but I have all of the others and they are very long lasting. I've just replaced one that was several years old. Just go to shop by brands and click on 3M at AG.net. It appears to be universal fit.

    Which Brand 3" Backing Plate?

    Before I started buying Lake Country pads from Auto Geeks.net I mainly used the 3M system which is available in my local stores, used by body shops. I have found the LC pads to be of very high quality and the only ones that I use now. The Hydro flat, CSS and Hybrid are excellent. They work well...
