    liquid wax v. Paste waxes

    I enjoy a good quality paste wax myself. Nothing like rubbing the vehicle down to notice any flaws in the finish that you might skip over otherwise. I also love the look of paste vs liquid no matter what brand I have used. Find what makes you happy and what you will use, if you don't like...

    Are any auto car washes good and safe?

    Touchless washes are better than the swirl machines. However the chemicals they use can be very strong and strip the wax or sealant that you use. Rinseless washing is super easy and once or oerfect your system it only takes 15-20 for a quick wash, including wheels. I would grab multiple good...

    Rupes mark ii 15 stalling badly

    So if im reading your statement correctly the video you have shot shows the machine working correctly? I know it can be frustrating to get such a expensive piece of equipment and it not "work" like we thought. The pad staying flat is of massive importance no matter what da style polisher you are...

    Rupes mark ii 15 stalling badly

    It's not that they are critical in a bad way it's just a learning curve. We all had to start polishing at some point and learned then so why can't we retrain on new equipment? It took me about 3 panels to figure out how to make the machine run more effectively. I used to much pressure initally...

    Rupes mark ii 15 stalling badly

    It's fairly well known that these new long throw machines are a more acquired learning curve. All things things you are throwing out that are unpleasant make all the difference in the polish process. You gotta keep it flat to make it spin, you gotta have the right amount of polish or you load...

    Rupes mark ii 15 stalling badly

    It's not that you can't aquire the technique though. I was a novice to long throw like everyone was since its a newer technology than the typical da of old. It is like anything in life without hours of practice we can not perfect a skill. Paint correction is a art form to me in many ways. I...

    Rupes mark ii 15 stalling badly

    Typically if the machine is stalling on you its due to they way the user is holding it. The long throw polishers have to remain flat at all times, if you have pressure more to one side or the other it can stall. The complex curves are always a problem area for the long throw machines but once...

    Detailling my Lexus.

    Lexus paint is a blessing and curse to work with in my eyes. My wife's car is red and I used griots boss creams with awesome results. I used foam pads with the polish that goes with the color system griots has. I think you could get away with correcting cream by the look of your pictures. Lexus...

    Worst Service of my life

    Not entirely sure what you mean by this but I will continue to have a passion for detailing nothing will destroy that. As far as ag being my supplier at this point that's extremely doubtful along with the rest of the pbmg family. I expect better and won't settle for this kind of service. I...

    Worst Service of my life

    That's what I wanted to do even offered to pay the return shipping and was told to refer to ag return policy online which blew my mind. I got called a liar more or less and it just really ticked me off I have had better dealing with used car salesman lol

    Worst Service of my life

    I agree griots is ultimately responsible here however ag got the money not griots. Ag should honor the guarantee to me and griots should swap my unit for a brand new one for a so they can in turn sell it. I was the customer of ag when you become a distribution point for a company you back that...

    Worst Service of my life

    I am so unhappy and shocked by autogeek currently. I bought a griots g15 earlier in the year prior to the day I made a purchase i called many times asking about multiple different units. When I asked about the griots i specifically asked if the warranty and 100% guarntee that griots offers would...

    Black label paint sealant vs competitors

    I have some pinnacle black label paint sealant and have been overall happy with its performance to this date. I hate the pump dispenser and wish the bottle was of better quality due to the price point. I have been tossing the idea of trying something different as my bottle is almost out...

    Stripping and Re-Staining deck... Job for the GG6?

    If if it is not paint and it has been previously stained there are some excellent products made for log homes that you could tap into. They make chemicals to strip or you could pressure wash the deck and hit it with some log wash to clean. If the wood gets the furred up look no worries you can...

    What's in the box? FLEX Free Spinning XFE 7-15 150 - 15mm Orbital Polisher!

    It's not a forced rotation unit that flex had traditionally. It is a direct competitor with rupes and the griots boss units.

    what am i doing wrong

    You need to do some hard research my friend. You don't use 3/4 a bottle of polish on 2 panels. The fellas here are trying to steer you in the right direction but you seem to be repeating yourself often. Polishing is a very time consuming process so break it down to a couple panels a day and...

    Mystery Box is BACK and BETTER Than Ever! (Now with 3 Boxes!)

    I love mystery boxes that I got in the past through another vendor. I love getting random products and detailing tools so I can expand what I use if I like them. I wasn't trying to come off as I was off put by the unknown contents idea. I just wasn't aware you get bobblehead dolls and chairs...

    Mystery Box is BACK and BETTER Than Ever! (Now with 3 Boxes!)

    I love the product portion no doubt and also the detailing tools. But if you add up the roller and bobble head thing that I got a good amount of my box wasted. I would rather get products or tools or tons of towels. If the pad fit my polisher I might use it but it doesn't fit. My point was they...
