    Does AG carry CG Glossworks Glaze ?

    Yea, I just went to an AG competitor and bought it for $19.99. I know I could have contacted AG and had them lower the price on their "we will not be undersold policy" but, really, AG needs to do their own homework.

    Collinite - not so bad after all?

    I found the 476 not as tough to get off as its reputation. I do think it has a lot to do with temperature and humidity. I found 476 to be easier to remove than migliore original which I tried earlier this summer.

    Another "why is there air?" question

    I waxed about a month ago. I think it was Pete's 53. Soap is mothers gold. But it isn't just once, I can never get any dirt off without rubbing. I'm wondering if it's a water quality issue? Do you have soft water? What's the nature of your dirt? Around here, it's always very gritty and may be...

    Another "why is there air?" question

    Well, I believe ya, snow drifter, but my white car looked just about that yesterday, and when I did the same thing, my dirt was still there?.. You must have slippery dirt where you live.

    Another "why is there air?" question

    I don't know about atomic forces but it occurs to me that a waxed surface, being softer than the clearcoat, may actually cause the dirt to adhere more... Yes, my post is tongue-in-cheek, but the science behind it still confounds me. Blasting with a stream of water doesn't move it but just...

    Another "why is there air?" question

    Every time I wash the car I wonder why the dirt doesn't just fall off? I hit it with a powerful burst of water from the hose. Dirt doesn't move... I foam it up good with a foam gun. Dirt doesn't move... One would think that all that lubricious soap would lift the dirt off the paint. I blast...

    I "collinited" today!

    After spending all summer playing with all of these fancy, expensive, wowo waxes with their abundance of sparkling polymers and exotic ingredients and perfume-y scents, I decided to put a coat of 476 on the daily driver for the winter today. It was refreshing to use an honest, old-fashioned...

    Leather masters protection cream question...

    How about a little more info, SS? I've only used the protection cream wipes and they wiped clean. I Had no residue and couldn't tell I had used it. ...oh, never mind, you're just asking if it durable enough to withstand a damp cloth wipe down

    Cold weather washin'

    Thanks guys, but my question is, more specifically, if you are going to perform a full hose wash in your driveway, what clothing do you find best to stay dry and warm? I'm looking at either full waterproof insulated coveralls or a separate rain pants/coat set? Like I said, I can't seem to wash...

    Floor Mats - I know off topic...

    Cold weather washin'

    Its getting about that time here in Ohio that we put away our wash buckets for the winter. I always want to wash my car one last time on a nice day in October or even November but I always get myself soaked when I wash the car. I'm only 5'6" and even on a small car, I have trouble reaching the...

    The difference is hard to describe. I find sealants definitely have a plastic look.
