    How cold is too cold for polishing?

    Yup, I learned that the hard way. Had my garage heated to 65 degrees and put on some UPPP. Could not understand why I had such a difficult time getting it off until I learned that my panels were much colder than the air temperature. So, now I heat up the garage and then wait a while before...

    Subscribed. I'll likely have the same problem polishing out my Acura this spring.

    REVIEW: GG6 (Griots Garage 6" DA Polisher)

    Great work. I'm excited to see this because in the spring, I'll be doing my black Acura with the same combo -- GG 2nd gen, 5-inch, LC white pads, and PF2500. Wish spring was here--I can't wait to get started.

    Website Up - Thoughts and Critiques?

    Yes, this is better. Here are a few more tips on your photo composition. Also, if you search, there are actually some threads here with tips on car photography: Shoot from a lower perspective. Don't stand and shoot the car at eye level. Get low and shoot at an upward angle. That helps to make...

    Website Up - Thoughts and Critiques?

    This is all great advice. As a serious photographer myself I'd like to suggest that you crop the Jeep photos much tighter. When shooting still objects (like cars) I would suggest that, going forward, you shoot more tightly so that only minimal cropping needs to be done. Make the car the star of...

    REVIEW: Menzerna PF2500

    Yesterday I did a test spot on my wife's Lincoln Navigator (champagne gold color). Sorry, no photos, but I would call it lightly to moderately swirled to begin with. My first step was PF2500 on a CCS white pad (didn't want to go too aggressive on the test spot). Followed that with SF4500 on a...

    The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

    As it sits? Winter in Wisconsin. Snowing every day and the roads are a mess. Looks like this more than it is clean. Somewhere under there is 3 coats of UPGP, still beading thankfully.

    What is the Most Scratch Resistant LSP ??

    I've been reading all of the LSP threads lately. "Best LSP," "Most Trusted LSP," etc. Soon I'll be polishing out my very-soft-paint black Acura. Needless to say, I'll strive to follow best practices for washing, but after all the work of fixing the paint, I want to keep it that way! So, my...

    Ultra soft Black Porsche paint ... piece of cake!

    Joe, do you think that a car with soft paint such as this might be a candidate for something like Opti-Coat 2.0? I'd be interested in your insight on that. Thanks.

    Well.. This may be a good bye with my AG orders

    I'm new here and you've replied to several of my posts and have been a great help. I hope my advice is taken in the spirit in which it is offered. I am a small business owner with 50 employees. We value our customers and work hard to satisfy them. I'm sure that AG does, too. However, despite...

    Deep shine

    I have a 2010 TL (black) and I agree the paint is pretty soft. Here is a thread I started a while ago with similar questions to yours: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/wolfgang-car-care/58853-wg-total-swirl-remover-3-0-vs-menzerna-fg-400-a.html

    Help me with order of least aggressive to most

    Thanks! Last night I read CEE DOG's very long thread on Opti-coat vs Cquartz and came to that very same conclusion. Once corrected, I'll probably go with Opti-coat. The one complication is that the front bumper now has some minor road rash. Between fixing swirls and repairing that, I may be...
