    Nominations for "Best 50/50 Shot" of 2014

    Woohooo. I love Saturns. Not many out there that people care to have polished. I myself am an owner of the original 91 SL2. It is funny how they notice my and ask me what kind of car it is. I just tell them, "I've got an original plastic Saturn." The metallic red color really gets a lot of...

    Hello from Thailand

    Hey welcome to AG! Where in Thailand are you? I'm currently starting a small operation in Bangkok, Thailand. Other 1/2 of my business is back in California. Let me know where you are, maybe we can meet up if you are in Bangkok. I'm doing work over in the Pathum Thani area at Lum Luk Ka...

    Vapamore MR-100

    I've been using it regularly on my details this past four months with no problems at all. A lifetime warranty is what sold me on it. It was a perfect machine for me since I'm not a full time detailer and I couldn't afford those industrial steamers which cost way more. So far so good for me.

    Cleaning Cquartz coating with IPA wipedown often okay?

    Hey there my AG friends. I have a question regarding the use of an IPA wipedown on Cquartz after a rinseless wash. I have coated my dad's Mercedes-Benz E320 with regular Cquartz and have been mostly washing it with ONR. I know it leaves behind gloss enhancers which do streak on black paint...

    Red Ford F-150 1 Step Polish Detail

    Wow, that was an awesome job. You said it was previously polished out by you in the past. Going with FG400, did you have to measure the paint that was left on there? Also, roughly, does it cut the same as Meg's Ultimate Compound? I'm surprised that FG400 finishes out so well even with an...

    Cquartz question

    Thank you for all of your help with the tips and tricks Mike. I finally found out what I did wrong. I was using the little microfiber suede towel (applicator) to try and wipe off the residue. FAIL!!! I applied with the cotton makeup applicators and unfortunately, it scratched the paint in...

    Cquartz question

    Thank you for your advice Mike. I went back and tried the trunk deck and was having trouble wiping off the residue still. I did it when it was warm in this afternoon and waited a half hour to let it flash. Wiped off with a short loop microfiber towel and still had an oily residue that...

    Cquartz question

    Hey Mike, Question for you. Have you guys worked on a car in the studio and applied CarPro Cquartz? I've seen your video about applying GTechniq on a red Mustang. I was wondering what your experiences have been regarding the consumer version of it. I have gotten a lot of tips and tricks...

    Seeking Detailer with Key Repair Experience!

    You can take a look at my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152025034555298.905658.537930297&type=1&l=f185dad223 Now again, it really depends on how bad it is. Also, it won't be a perfect fix as there is almost no way to make it perfectly flat without taking off too...

    Seeking Detailer with Key Repair Experience!

    I've done a few scratch repairs on my Saturn before. I usually top it off with clear coat touch up as well to make it look as close to the original paint as I can. I'm over in Hercules. Sorry to see the car got keyed like that.

    Tree sap stain on SS paint.

    Hey everyone, I am working on a 1999 Mazda Miata MX-5 with single stage white paint. The car was covered with tree sap and removing them was a paint in the butt. I had to pull out the steamer to melt each little dot and then wipe away the residue with some IPA. Now the hood which was...

    Orinda Auto Detail - F250 Super Duty Correction + OC2.0

    Wow, I think you guys are right near the on ramp and the Caldwell Banker place right? I drove by there once but didn't know there was a detail shop there. I went to eat at the Orinda Theater Square at Table 24.

    Help with cleaning trashed factory wheels...

    I used the Daytona wheel brush to do the scrubbing on the barrels. I was just hoping to find a way to make them look good without spending way too much time on it since it wasn't a top dollar detail. I guess I can't expect too much since the wheels haven't been cleaned since it came out of the...

    Help with cleaning trashed factory wheels...

    Hey there fellow Geeks, I wanted to ask if any of you have suggestions for me on removing brake dust buildup and dirt on some old factory wheels on a 2001 VW Passat. I tried using ECO Touch Wheel Cleaner and it did a fairly good job at removing grime on the face of the wheels. The barrels is...
