Mark is quicker than me. The UPS guy just rang the doorbell. What he says about pads is what I was thinking. I use white more than any other on well kept/newer cars.

DG 105 is a product made by Duragloss. They make a bunch of nice products that are very inexpensive (comparatively) and they work very well. Sorry for the abbreviation but there is a lot of "code" spoken here because of the whole NSA thing... Collinite is another inexpensive top performer...

There isn't. There is just a lot if you want to do it right:xyxthumbs: I can't imagine trying any of these steps in below freezing. In Phoenix, we bundle up like Nanook of the north if it gets to 50. Heat, that's another story. If it were me, I'd try to slide by with a wipe on/off and wait...

Millionth? I see far more really nice cars in sad need of one of us. My friends tease me about it.

Replace or at least get it rebalanced if you feel it's cosmetic and not structural.

Schmitts of various ages and condition and a new Lake country wash wedge. I like both.

Nice idea.

Welcome. I was just there for a tournament. Lost in the final, but not bitter or anything...

I'll give it a shot...

So, I drove to Colorado Springs this week for Thanksgiving. All in all, about 1800 miles. We didn't get any snow but there was some on the ground. From the belt down, the car was pretty filthy with road grime so I figured this would be a good test for the tire coating. I made a nice soapy...

I did the SUV today and I learned a thing or two. First, my tires were not as clean a I thought they were. The car is less than 6 months old and I scrub them each time it has been washed, probably 10 times. My go to is Amazing Roll Off and like said, I thought they were clean. They weren't...

Hey Art, I am far from an Opti coat guru, but I've done 6 vehicles now (hobby, not pro). I'd stick with a few ounces of APC in the wash bucket and don't use a wash and gloss shampoo. IPA at 15% and right on to it. You will feel it start to drag when you need to add a few drops. USE GOOD...

Thank you. My kit arrived last week and I'm planning on doing an SUV this weekend so this couldn't come at a better time. I always freak out (unnecessarily) about over/under application with any product I'm unfamiliar with. This should cut down on my angst.

Ok Dear Mr. Rupes, I am an enthusiast detailer who does cars for friends and freely gives worthless advice on a number of subjects including detailing. Your new machines look like they are filling a void in the market and your company is developing a good reputation for quality products. I...

I read the whole thread this morning and it looks like the only good business strategy is being used by AG. Now they can gauge how many kits to order from this company. Based on what I read and including me, they may already have enough with the demo models. I may have bought the mini for...

The seats look new again and the paint was beyond repair but you saved it! He's going to love it. Thanks for doing the extra work for a guy who deserves it and will no doubt appreciate it.

Wait. He's a really smart guy and he drives a Volt? That's like an oncologist who smokes....

Some tweaker with a torch?

Many years ago, I worked for a guy who had a Ferrari 308 and a Rolls Royce. He had them "detailed" once a week by this guy who showed up with a bucket, brush, and dirty bath towels. He used dish soap and the brush on the paint and then his secret blend of wax which looked a lot like Turtle wax...

You're too good at what you do to even entertain such an absurd offer!
