I passed up a ridiculously low priced CR Spotless system on Marketplace this week. I saw it for sale and knew others use them but I have never looked into DI so I missed it. Of course, now I am obsessed with getting a DI system. Other than CR Spotless which is out of my budget, does anyone have...

I know. I know. It is against the rules. However, I figured since the forum is no longer monitored, we should start a for sale thread. All transactions are at your own risk. List what you have with pics, prices and how you want to handle shipping and payment. Probably best to DM to finalize the...

I am not a noob by any means. But still, I find myself semi-paralyzed by indecision. I just took delivery of a 2022 BMW X4 M40i in sapphire black metallic. This is my first black vehicle in about 20 years and also the first since I've started taking the condition of my paint, or should I say, my...

Couple weeks ago I went down a rabbit hole of what ever happened to Whestly's. Turns out it is now owned by Black Magic and their formula doesnt work as well as the original. Many vids on YT recommended Meg's Hot Rims Tire and Wheel as a replacement that closely mimics the old Whestley's...

Looking for any advice for attending the Barrett Jackson Auction in Scottsdale this Jan 2022. I've never been to the auction nor Scottsdale so any tips are welcome. It looks like I will be flying down purely as a solo spectator. Not looking for swanky accommodations, but I don't want to stay in...

I was cleaning out my collection and came across this gem. Has to be at least 15 years old, maybe more. Got me to wondering what other vintage AG ONLY products members have. Post your pics!

I have been detailing for the better part of thirty years. I've made a ton of mistakes and learned a lot. To this day, my process continues to evolve. My current process includes following Ivan's recommendation for washing with ONR and drying with the aid of Opti Seal. I modified his process a...

Does anyone have recommendations for garage floor PAINT?! I know paint is the worst option for looks, durability and longevity, especially in NE Wisconsin! However, a professional epoxy job just isn't in the budget. We purchased a 20 year old house two years ago. The previous owners painted the...

Hopefully this post will help others in the future. I recently applied Aquapel and I don't know what I did wrong but it streaked like crazy. No amount of rubbing, buffing, class cleaning or Gyeon Prep would take it off. After Googling and seeing a lot of people asking the same question without...

Is the general consensous still that Leatherique (LQ) is the best leather cleaning product? I ask becasue the white leather in my MB is pretty drab looking from daily use. I want to bring the white back to life but I REALLY dont want to go through the LQ process. Are there any other products...

Has anyone experienced their Flex 3401 fluctuating DOWN in speed when locked in? For example, when locked at 4.5-5, the machine will fluctuate down to what feels like 3-3.5. To the point where I have to lock at 5-5.5 or so to keep the speed up. The brushes here replaced less than 5 or so machine...

What is the consensus for prepping the surface prior to chemically removing fallout with Sonax followed by washing with a clay mitt? I'm in WI and last fall I protected with a layer of 845. This spring, I've been drying with the aid of Megs Quick Wax. I am wondering if I need to do any stripping...

I am in Appleton, WI and I am having a heck of a time finding a place to get my 19" BMW wheel repaired. I hit a pot hole last summer so I have a couple small gouges on the lip of the rim. They have a machined face with two tone gray paint on the inside. (I believe the wheels are style 269)...

I am a HUGE fan of Wheel Brightener on painted wheels. Its a miracle worker, really. However, I am unsure about the wheel pictured below. We recently purchased a 2014 Ford Flex with the "shiny" 20" wheels. Overall, they are in okay shape, just a little cloudy. I'm not really motivated to sit...

Does anyone know anything about replacing the brushes on the Flex 3401? My Flex is completely dead and I am hoping its a simple fix like the brushes. Do you know if I can get brushes locally rather than ordering online? Thanks in advance!

I purchased a gallon of CG Maxi Suds a couple years ago and loved it. Fast forward to last year when I purchased a new gallon and noticed the smell was different. It seemed to work just as well. I recently received a sample of Mr. Pink and noticed it smells remarkable like the old Maxi Suds. Has...

First day picking the kids up at school today and another parent decided to squeeze by rather than waiting for another car to pass, thus scuffing the mirror housing of my 335xi. In my shortsightedness, I traded off my Megs 105. I know people have talked about an OTC equivalent. I figure I should...

I am in the process of whittling down my collection of products. My goal is to streamline the process of maintaining my vehicle's paint to the most efficient process possible. I found out this past week that I simply dont have the time or energy (really the energy) for a multi-step, marathon...

I have very low water pressure from the outside faucets on the house I just moved into 2 weeks ago. Below are the facts. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated! I live in Wisconsin. There are no water restrictions in my sub division. I have city water as opposed to well. The water pressure...

Does OC scratch? I mean, it is not a diamond shell right? I am thinking about applying it but I am a little confused as to what advantage it offers other than protecting the factory finish. If it scratches like clear coat (marring from washing, bugs, etc), and still needs to maintained like...
