    Kwazar broke unlisted but important part

    I have two broken pieces now that I checked it out. The tip of the safety valve is also broken but I believe it seats and seals fine. I could not find another o-ring, but there are remains of a hard plastic washer or spacer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IGL Coatings here at Autogeek!

    I was wondering if the Ecocoat Wax is a coating infused wax like Kamikaze Infinity Wax or something similar. It’s kinda hard to tell from the description. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Kwazar broke unlisted but important part

    I’m not sure how it happened but the “Shut-off pin” broke on my black Kwazar pump sprayer. I went to use it yesterday and the thumb trigger was in the down position with no spring resistance to it, just completely free. It pumped up fine and holds pressure but would not spray. So I...

    I have chosen my next car.

    I been watching videos about them since you posted this up. What a cool innovative company! I dig the Freevalve camless engine. Why not get rid of all of that rotating mass and gain infinite variable valve timing for ultimate tuning at any rpm range. YouTube

    Most aggressive effective combo for Porter Cable 7424

    I think I’ve seen people using the LC Thin Purple Foamed pads with the PC. Not as aggressive as straight wool and a rotary, but it should get some work done. Another option would be to sand up to 3000 or 5000 grit. Then you will have a much easier time removing the sanding marks.

    Roll Call! Who drives a MANUAL transmission?

    I have driven manuals most of my life and feel much more in control with them when driving at the limit(not the speed limit) My first car I bought with cash from my summer job was a manual. My mother took care of the paperwork and when I got home from work my mom sent me to pick up my sister...

    How to determine paint "hardness"?

    You can also have repainted areas that can differ in hardness from the OEM paint.

    Your Interior Detailing steps

    I’m not sure if you meant “steps” because I don’t think the steps would really change over the years. Products change for sure. Steamers and extractors have been around for a while. There are those that like to use a scrub brush attachment for the DA and people that have the air power to use...

    Questions before purchase - swirl / scratch removal

    I don’t have a GG6. I have a few of these and they are probably a little heavier than some pads so I would say no. I think a good choice would be the BOSS pads or the LC ThinPro. The LC Flat pads are good and a good value, and you won’t feel as bad if you destroy one or two.

    Review: Kwazar Venus Super Compression Sprayer Pro

    I have both the red and the black one now and they are great. I have been using the red(acid) one for a while with an alkaline cleaner since I bought it and have had no problems. I don’t typically use acidic type cleaners and AG doesn’t sell the one designated for alkaline cleaners(dark blue)...

    Wizards Products

    My painter gave me a bottle of the ShineMaster AIO type product after he finished my car out with it. I haven’t tried it since I got into detailing, and the bottle is probably about 8 years old now. I should check it to see if it’s separated or still usable. Didn’t seem like a bad product when...

    PBL Shampoo - SiO2/other gloss enhancements or none?

    I have no experience with this product, but I’ll give my opinion from reading the product description. I reads to be a wash soap that also has dirt encapsulating polymers like a rinseless or waterless wash does. I believe it is restoring the surface by just removing, not by adding to it. I...

    Ceramic coating after Headlight restoration?

    I have been using Opti-Lens but I think the paint coatings would work also. In my opinion, clear coat is similar to plastic. Optimums claim of “permanent” and “forever” = about 2 years in real life from my experience.

    not many wg uber aio reviews? user feedback?

    I bought it and tried it a couple times and now the bottle just collects dust. It is a really thin product like a liquid sealant or something and just seemed odd to use. I like the other Wolfgang products that I’ve used, but this one I wouldn’t buy again unless they reworked it.
