I have finally caved into the trim "coating" realm. I bought some Dlux. I am testing it on my 2016 Ford Escape. Application on the more smooth trim and moldings is pretty simple. However, the front bumper and valance are VERY textured and that makes application very difficult. Is anyone familiar...

I have been a LONG time user of ARO for cleaning tires and rubber trim. IMO, I have seen nothing clean a set of tires better. However, while adding a few gallons to a new order, I noticed this on the product page: "Amazing Roll-Off leaves a gleaming and rust inhibiting wax-like finish that...

Hey guys and gals, I am trying to create a logo and business card. I am using Adobe Illustrator CS6 - which by the way I am NO expert at. What I am going for is clean, simple and to the point. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. The car outline will be a vector graphic and much smoother...

No... This is not another "what's the best trim dressing" thread. But rather a question for those who have a shop or detail as a business. When you are performing an exterior detail and it comes time to dress the trim (we will assume the trim is in good condition and not in need of a...

Hey guys and gals... I have been a loyal UTTG user for a while now and my curiosity hes been piqued by CarPro's DLux. I understand that it is a long lasting trim coating and I am in no way comparing it to UTTG... but I do have a question... Say I apply DLux to a client's vehicle, they are a...

So I finally decided to apply the Opti-Coat 2.0 to my 2010 Kia Forte, Clear White in color. I washed, IronX'd, clayed, 205 on a white Kompressor on the Makita, followed with PO87 on a red Hydro-Tech on the Makita. Those steps alone made that white look better than I had ever seen white look...

I have in the past used discount promo codes in conjunction with the AGO code... What gives???

This is in NO way a hit on Meguiars 105/205. Been using it for a while now. And while it produces phenomenal results with a DA polisher, it's working time with a rotary leaves something to be desired. Which Menzerna polishes should I look in to to replace the 105/205 combo when I'm using my...

Hey Guys & Gals.... The wife and I are leaving Ferndale Michigan and headed for Washington D.C. for vacation! Can't wait! I received a bottle of DP Waterless Auto Wash Concentrate on my last order. I decided to mix up a 16 oz bottle and pack a few Cobra microfibers along for the trip. The...

Anyone tried using these on a rotary...? I'm headed outside to give it a shot!

I recently purchased Opti-Coat and my intent was to use it strictly for headlight restos... however, I am quite intrigued by it and it's longevity. I thought about testing on the Wife's 2005 Equinox. My question is, and I know it is supposed to be a "permenant" coating, how do you know when...

So I have spent countless $$ on products to apply to the rubber window belts on my vehicles that will last more than ONE rain or wash. Everything I have tried winds up looking spotted or runny after just ONE rain or wash. These are the smooth rubber trim pieces. I have been told that other...

So today I detailed my first bike, a 2011 Yamaha R6. I cannot believe that even motorcycles come with the dealer installed swirl option. Anyway, it was for a friend and I only charged $40.00 for a complete paint correction, sealant, and detailed cleaning of the frame, wheels and such. He was...

So I just received my bottle of PERL, mixed it 50/50 with distilled water and applied it to a section of rubber window belt and my side view mirror per the directions on the bottle. It sat over 12 hours, bone dry. Today it rained for several hours, and to my dismay, the treated areas were...

I have been tossing around the idea of getting into windshield chip/crack repair as an add-on service. My wife's Uncle has been doing it for 25+ years and is willing to teach me the in's and out's. It's about $1K for a good set of tools and resins. I think it would be a great investment and...

Let me start off by saying I AM NOT A GRAPHIC DESIGNER... With that said... Will you guys please take a look and lemme know what you think. Will be putting a web address as well... Thanks guys...

I just got hooked on this show. Really pretty cool to see these cars getting "restored". I'm watching them do a '50 Studebaker coupe. They showed a sun shot and HOLY BUFFER TRAILS! I cannot believe they'd put all that work into these cars, and do such a slip-shot job of finishing out the...

I just picked up a Mytee S300 Tempo Spotter. I really wish AutoGeek would carry this little gem. Although it is a cold water unit, for less than $400, it is a great, well built unit. 85" of water lift and a 55 psi pump. Another great feature is that Mytee offers replacement parts! And, the...

I received my Metro Vac n' Blow today, I ordered it on a Black Friday special for $149.99 and it included a free wheeled dolly. Firstly I was amazed at the size... IT IS SMALL! So after setting it all up I just had to try it out... This thing rocks! Or should I say it sucks! I had it on my...
