    Microfiber Pads?

    Thanks. I don't know if I'll order the kit that comes with the polishes, hope that doesn't matter when it comes to how the pads perform. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Microfiber Pads?

    Thanks for the info. This might explain why it took me double the time and effort to do my black E350 vs a black Chevy Tahoe that was in worse condition. I ended up flawless finish on the Tahoe and the Mercedes not so much. How can I tell by looking at the paint code, I'd if has this clear...

    Microfiber Pads?

    Hello everyone, I need some advice on microfiber cutting pads. I’m going to be detailing a Silver 2001 Mercedes S500 in the next 2 weeks for my nephew. I’ll be using my Flex 3401 and the pads I currently have are the hybrid 5” pads (all available colors). I also have Menzerna FG400, SF4000, HD...

    Spray Wax recommendation

    My main goal is protection, easy to use and sun friendly when doing my monthly wax maintenance. The products I have used is collinite 845, CG butter wax, pinnacle souvern, CG blacklight. After every wash I use a quick detailer (HD touch or 3d final touch) to clean up any streaks or any missed...

    Spray Wax recommendation

    Thanks everyone. I like the carnauba look so I went with a gallon of blackfire might spray and as a bonus it comes with a free bottle of duragloss Aquawax. I'll get to try both out. Still ended up ordered a bottle of 3D final touch as a back up and it works great on final clean for the wheels...

    Spray Wax recommendation

    How well do these products work under direct sunlight? Unfortunately about 15-20% of my car is usually left exposed under direct sunlight and I dry that area first to prevent any water spots but by the time I get to my final step with QD the paint gets hot. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Spray Wax recommendation

    I recently finished my last bottle of 3D final touch and HD Touch quick detailer and looking to switch something that will add more protection then just boost the wax that was already on my car. Can you please recommend me a quick wax spray that is as easy to use as a quick detailer? My regular...

    Which steamer?

    I was set on getting the vx5000 but figured investing $800 was a bit too much. At this point I'm only getting work by word of mouth. If detailing turns into my primary work and I'm doing multiple cars a day, I wouldn't hesitate to invest that money into a vx5000 and a nice extractor but until...

    Which steamer?

    Couldn't be happier with the Mcculloch steamer. I can't compare it with the vx5000 since I've never used one however the Mcculloch has performed great on all 4 cars I've used it in.

    Which steamer?

    Almost every time I take the cheaper route it ends costing me more down the line. Hopefully this isn't that time, I ordered the Mcculloch 1385 last night and it should be delivered by tomorrow. I also found a mytee h60 Spyder extractor "like new" only used 2x (owner is family) and he's asking...

    Which steamer?

    Seems like vx5000 is the best option for my price range. Doesn't look like AG has it available, any suggestions for best price online?

    Which steamer?

    After spending the past few weeks debating between a steamer and extractor and whar to purchase first, I decided I can get more done with a steamer. Doing a few quick online searches, I have came across alot of options. Which do you all recommend? I'm looking for a steamer that is reliable and...

    Looking for a wheel cleaner?

    I've used the CG Diablo and 3D yellow rim/tire degresor. For the price you pay for the Diablo, IMO is not worth it. The 3D yellow cleaner is about $12-$14 for a gallon and can be diluted 1-4 for heavy duty cleaning. It doesn't have that color change perk but it gets the job done without breaking...

    04 Lincoln Town Car HD Speed/Poxy

    Just got done with this Silver 04 Towncar. The car overall was not in bad shape. The owner took care of it by having it washed every 1-2 weeks but that's as far as it went. I tried to get some before shots but I couldn't capture the defects with my phone camera. It had alot of swirls/light...
