    Something Painful to Watch From a Car "Expert"

    I found this video from Matt Farah of the Smoking Tire and the late "Car Show" on SPEED. It confirms my initial impressions of him which are not G-Rated or suitable for Autogeek.net How to Wash and Detail Your Car - Part 1/2 - YouTube

    Is wheel wax/protection really worth it?

    I'm currently running Hawk HPS pads on my '04 Mach 1. They have better performance than the stock pads and generate more dust. I knew that going in. My favorite driving road takes me to almost 11,000 feet and there are several one thousand foot plus drop offs with no barriers on the way up and...

    Is wheel wax/protection really worth it?

    I don't know what's worse. Paying extra for high the high performance components of an M series and not driving hard enough to actually use them or neutering the high performance brakes with zero dust pads.

    Anyone try topping Meg's NXT 2.0 with a Carnauba Wax?

    I've topped NXT, NXT2.0, #21 original and #21 Ver 2.0 with several waxes including Meguiar's #26 HiTech Wax with zero problems. You're either not letting the sealant cure or using too much product. As an aside, I've always felt more comfortable layering products from the same company although...

    "glue" to hold the weights on my rims...

    Goo gone with a little heat from a hot air gun (not too much) or a hair dryer and a plastic scraper.

    Is wheel wax/protection really worth it?

    "Wheel wax" is marketing hype. If your wheels are clear coated, you clean and protect them like the paint on the body of the car. The trick for wheels is cleaning them more often. I've been using a hand-held steamer every two or three days on my Team III Halibrand replicas. The rims are...

    2013 Boss 302 Mustang-Detailing Advice Needed

    I've been using AquaWax on my Mach 1's hood and side stripes since 2004 with absolutely no ill effects. AW leaves no residue and you can spray it on all surfaces. No worries about the edges of your vinyl stripes. On a side note, many Mach 1 owners seem to think the semi gloss black spoiler is...

    Looking professional , but not looking overdressed

    Wear what Meguiar's insists it's reps wear when demonstrating product: Black on black. It looks super professional until you actually start detailing!Im the MAN

    Shop-Vac Filters - Which / When?

    I own a full size Shop Vac and have always been a little unclear about which filter to use when. The manual also implies the use of more than one filter or a filter and collection bag at the same time. Right now, my Shop Vac has the foam sleeve and the Donaldson blue cartridge filter. Is this...

    What type of camera are you using to document your work?

    Get the one with a hand crank that plays, "Pop Goes the Weasel."

    What type of camera are you using to document your work?

    Cool - I mentioned bohkeh in my PM to the OP. The XZ-1 has great glass, plus Olympus has free RAW processing software.

    What type of camera are you using to document your work?

    I hate to correct you but getting the entire side of the car in the shot without walking back a mile has nothing to do with DSLRs. IT'S THE LENS. I'm guessing the lens you're using is an 18 - XXmm. But when attached to a Cannon Rebel, it isn't really 18mm. That's because the CCD sensor is...

    Protecting roush exhaust (wax?)

    I have a stainless steel SLP Loudmouth catback exhaust system on my Mustang and Meguiar's Nxt Metal Polysh has kept it looking new for eight years. The product has been discontinued, but Autogeek still has some in stock. I believe it contains some corrosion inhibitors and protectants and I...

    Removing lSP

    What's ISP{? Did you mean LSP? Name one LSP that can stand up to polishing. Using alcohol to remove existing wax or sealant prior to polishing is a complete waste of time.

    On YouTube: 1st Episode - What's in Autogeek's Garage - Season 2

    Second season looks much better than the first. The first season seemed too unscripted and Mike was faced with commenting on a w-i-d-e variety of cars and speaking with owners who were best left unseen and unheard. Pluses for season 2: Shooting at Autogeek results in more control and a better...

    Did meguiar's make a mistake??

    Isn't it nice when somebody turns sarcasm into a rant against business? I shop at Walmart all the time because I refuse to pay 50% to 125% more for the same stuff elsewhere. Case in point: Loaf of honey wheat bread $2.18 vs. $3.25 at Albertsons (same brand). How about Carroll Shelby's Texas...

    Did meguiar's make a mistake??

    I hate seeing Meguiar's Mirror Glaze professional supplies at my local Walmart at discount prices. I'd rather: Pay retail at a paint and body supply store. Order the stuff and pay for shipping. File a claim with UPS for trashing my order. (Fitting, since my last Autogeek order arrived...
