    Quick review of some products I purchased.

    The wash wedge is a waste. I prefer the $2 wash mitts at Walmart.

    Anything wrong with using APC instead of dedicated wheel cleaner

    I have the new Meg non-acid wheel cleaner and it works great but what am I gaining versus APC only? I hit the wheels with Iron X every once in a while but other than that what's wrong with APC only for tires and wheels?

    Another rookie needing some guidance

    You need some cutting pads, microfibers are good and a good compound. Also a good compound, actually Meguiars Ultimate Compound would do if you want to keep costs low.

    Flex or Rupes?

    Understand your analyogy but don't understand how it applies to the matter at hand. Are you saying that the Rupes transfers power better than the flex? If so I disagree. Both are quality machines. Great quality, build and fit for both. The Flex has a longer track record. The question is...

    WG Uber Compound - Pad & Tool Selection: Pick Your Poison

    So many pads, my mind is spinning.... Is it really needed to go beyond the orange, white and black pad combinations? Maybe throw in a MF or wool for extra cut once in a while and that's about it?

    Flex or Rupes?

    At the end of the day the Rupes is still just another DA. Yes, it's a bit hyped up and maybe deseredly so with the larger throw but it's still missing the power. It's got the same size motor as the PC 7464xp, not even as much as the GG let alone the Flex. It's like a car...you don't always...

    That "Grabby" feel - Thin vs Thick MF pads on Dual Action Polishers

    I have used the thick Buff n Shine pads and they grab like a mother. I have not used the LC pads.

    Product Review: Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash with Carnauba

    I got a bottle of this in my last Autogeek order. I felt ripped off. This stuff is no good. Can't hold a candle to the Griot's stuff.

    Clayed my car and scratched the hell out of it

    I have since switched to the Nano Skin wash mitts and I must say that these things are great. I first found out about them at the Mike Phillips detailing bootcamp and they have never let me down. They get the job done quickly and I have not noticed marring with the fine grade mitt, the medium...

    TurtleWax Rinseless Wash

    No as good as ONR. Needs about twice as much product.

    NEW! DP Paint, Wheel, & Glass Coatings + Coating Prep Polish!

    So is this the same thing as Opti-coat? I have been considering buying Opti-coat but if they are the same thing then this looks like at better buy - lower price and more applications.

    Help! Please! I sanded through my clear coat

    I was trying to repair my door from a chip and accidentially sanded through my clear. It's a 2000 Mercedes so not the most expensive car but I do like to have it looking it's best. I took it to the body shop and they quoted me $450 for the spot repair. Is that high? Any suggestions on what I...

    What is the most that you've ever spent on Autogeek?

    $500 is about the largest single order. I am at about $3000 altogether including the bootcamp. Kind of a lot of money for just a hobbyist, huh?

    If I take M205 and Menzerna Powerlock and mix together can I get my own AIO?

    What would you use on a Freshly cleaned car thats now covered in Pollen? QD? Quick wax?

    I would blow it off with the metro and then hit it with quick wax.
