I like a good mystery, but I had to pass on the boxes this time. I'm sure the glass cleaning supplies I ordered will keep me happy. Thanks for the discount and the free stuff! :xyxthumbs: Not to spoil the fun, but could there be a vague hint as to the contents? Interior, Exterior, Paint, Glass...

I'd look into gravel road dust control options for your area. They make a big difference in dusting, and are beneficial to road maintenance, too. You may be able to get a discount if you can get some neighbors to go with the same contractor. Dust: Don't Eat It! Control It!

Here's another VW van thread, too. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/102812-mold-removal-fabric-top.html

Should any special precautions be taken with Iron X around the rusty chips in the first photo? Kristian, I don't know your plans for the van, but being white paint, you might be able to have that repainted with good results, especially if it's a smaller panel.

Sounds familiar, yet slightly spammy. J'accuse!

As we all know, Facebook is Evil, so this is starting to make sense.

Maybe you used that email address in conjunction with an AG or PBMG order, possibly tied to a PayPal account. :dunno:

That's a little too much coincidence for me to believe. I see Paul@Autogeek is taking a look at the thread. You guys may want to forward those emails to him or someone else at AG. It's possible that someone has been snooping around their system. Make sure you send the entire email so they have...

I take pride in my work. : ) Take a look at Brett's linked site and you'll be right as rain. Funny stuff.

http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/how-articles/74401-how-divide-larger-body-panels-into-smaller-sections-machine-buffing.html and I use the same mitt on the upper body & glass when washing, but glass cleaning is another category unto itself. I'm interested in seeing what options are offered...

Starting to get like driving on ice up in here yo. Lots of good advice has been offered. I agree that starting with the basics makes more sense than detailing overload, but I also agree that the OP should be encouraged to look at the wide range of options. Unless something prohibits its use, I...

I don't find myself leaning much, as I can reach to the center of a roof while one-handing my polisher, and the 4' length of the platform makes it easy to walk along the side of the vehicle for a better position. If you have shorter arms, that may not be possible. I'm not sure what practical...

I've stood on both, and used the AP-30 for car detailing and construction work. IMO, it's a better product. The AP-20 platform much smaller, and it isn't as stable when standing at an angle, as a person would be when working on a car roof. The increased weight rating and size translates into...

Yep.

Buy a Werner AP-30 Aluminum Pro Deck Work Platform. Home Depot usually has them in-store for $65. Don't skimp and buy the smaller AP-20, and don't buy the flimsier Gorilla product. I bought mine for working on my truck, but I like it so much I use it for cars, too.

I've never seen a pressure washed car come away as clean as a hand washed one. There's always at least a slight film of road grime on the lower portions, if not the entire car. Once the chunks are removed, it's hard to beat hand washing for fully removing that film layer. IME, a pressure washer...

Yep. If you haven't taken a look at resident expert and all-around swell guy Mike Phillips' lengthy list of articles, buckle up and start clicking the stickies here and here. This is a good place to start...

Yep. It's really a conditional process. I don't do anything to the paint just for the sake of saying I did it, like applying sealant weekly, or changing motor oil every 3000k. If it's needed, it's needed; the baggie test makes it easy to tell when it's decon time, and a swirl check determines...

Unless you plan to get into a lot of relatively loose contamination like mud, I don't see that much value in using a consumer grade pressure washer. They're rarely heated or have very high output volume, so the usual road film is unimpressed by their puny abilities. Nice to have, but not nearly...
