    458 Italia Opti Coat Pro - Orinda Auto Detail

    Holy holograms Batman! That was bad as can be for a car that price with all those horrible holograms. Nice turnaround. I still gotta go visit the shop in Orinda when I get back overseas to the Bay Area.

    Clay vs nanoskin

    I always use both for my detailing jobs. Nanoskin does tend to mar easier so it usually calls for polishing or at least a cleaner/wax cleaner/sealant with a polishing pad. I always have clay to use for hard to reach areas or corners of panels since I'm using the Nanoskin discs for the DA. I...

    LC Backing Plates not fitting on export FLEX 3401 VRG

    Hi Dave, I actually went back to play around with it some more. I got the nut to fit finally. I guess messing around with it the other day helped. The nut was able to go on easily without any plates attached. I then put on the 4 inch plate on first and it screwed in okay. When I put the 6...

    LC Backing Plates not fitting on export FLEX 3401 VRG

    I'm hoping it isn't damaged on the female side which is on the FLEX. I've only removed the nut a couple of times to put oil on the felt ring. The original nut goes back in without any issues. I will say that the export version runs very very hot. It runs about twice or even three times as...

    LC Backing Plates not fitting on export FLEX 3401 VRG

    Thank you so much Mike, you are the best! Thank you for looking into it for me David. I appreciate it. I love the backing plate kit for my US model FLEX back in the states with the hybrid pads. It is just too bad that the nut doesn't fit my export model that I purchased from AG to use here...

    LC Backing Plates not fitting on export FLEX 3401 VRG

    Hey guys and gals, Have any of you purchased the export version of the FLEX 3401 VRG polisher for use outside of the US? I'm using the export version here in Thailand and I had brought my LC backing plate kit with me from the US when I was previously using it with my FLEX there. For some odd...

    Waterspots on PBL Diamond Surface Coating

    No problem Tato. Have you had any issues with waterspotting on only the hood of the cars you have coated? That is the only place that is getting waterspotting. Do you have PBL Synergy in your inventory? I did a Honda City with the PBL coating 3 months ago and earlier last month, I applied...

    Waterspots on PBL Diamond Surface Coating

    Actually now that you mention that, it might be the case since we do have a fair amount of pollution here in Bangkok, Thailand. We have a very lax smog check here unlike in CA. Also couple that with the heavy industry factories and it makes for very acidic rain. I'm just puzzled at only the...

    Waterspots on PBL Diamond Surface Coating

    Hey there fellow AG people. Have any of you had experiences with the PBL coating getting waterspots even though the coating has cured for weeks? I'm currently in Bangkok, Thailand and we have really hot & humid tropical weather. It could rain and then the sun pops out and raises the temps...

    Wolfgang final 4 ( kinda like BB) and black label synergy wax

    I'm not sure that would work very well because Synergy was developed with nano ceramic particles in it to bond with paint. With that in mind, it won't be able to bond to the paint because of the paint sealant in between. I mean in all honesty, it would probably work but, your longevity would...

    Ban of BBC Top Gear in the U.S ?

    Dude, I don't think he'll even have time to worry about Top Gear. He's too busy practicing his golf swing for the next 18 holes he's gonna play. Our country is so screwed up, in California, a school in a city near my hometown has banned wearing any shirts with American flags on them for Cinco...

    Layering PBL Diamond Surface Coating

    Hi Mike, I've just been wondering if you have ever applied more than one coat of the PBL Diamond Surface Coating to any vehicle. I know some coatings such as Cquartz recommends two coats and most people do them one after the other even though the instructions say wait one week. PBL doesn't...

    Anyone see this new Waterless Wash on YouTube?

    Has anyone see the new Waterless Wash on YouTube? goclean waterless carwash | How to Wash Your Car Without Water - YouTube I saw it and thought to myself, my goodness, look at how the microfiber is scrunched up and wiped on the panels. They said not to use it on heavily soiled cars, yet they...

    Cobra Supreme Guzzler Vs. the ShamWow

    The Original ShamWow is sold at my local 99 Cents Only stores around the California Bay Area. Exact same as the ones that were on TV informercials. Lints like hell and doesn't absorb water very well, even though it is wet like it is supposed to be used.

    Insect poo staining Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Surface Coating

    Hey Mike, I'd like to ask you if you have had any experiences with color staining on the Pinnacle Black Label coating. Sorry I don't have a picture of it but, I have been working on a white 2011 Honda Fit/Jazz (in Thailand) and three weeks ago had polished and coated the car. Just two days...
