    First paid detail

    I've done my cars, and those of family and friends, for a while. No pay, just for fun and to help them out. Got started in 2005 or so with Klasse twins (and used AG as an info source back then, too). Recently my brother asked me to help him with his wife's Lexus. He has his own PC, so we both...

    Will residual ONR interfere with UPP second coat?

    After reading a CEE DOG review, I bought and applied some Four Star UPP. He was right; I like the look a LOT. (Kinda wish it didn't have so much static cling, though.) I'd like to apply a second coat of UPP (three weeks later) because I have a long road trip coming and want the extra...

    What product for black "step" portion of nerf bar?

    I'm gradually getting my brother into this addiction. After we cleaned and protected the paint on one of his vehicles, I introduced him to Klasse AIO. He is very happy with the difference it made in cleaning and protecting many parts of his truck. He has chrome nerf bars with black rubber or...

    Extender for small backing plate

    Watching the Thursday night webcast, I saw one of the guest detailers using an extension on a buffer which allowed him to hold the machine several inches further away from the finish. He was using a smaller backing plate (3 inch, 4 inch?). Not sure if he was using a Flex or a DA. I'm hoping...

    Product selection for different types of trim (automotive)

    After looking at Nick's review of Gtechniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer, I figured I had to have it. (Thus, must add Nick to the list of people who have cost me a Lot of money in the past month with their reviews, postings, videos .... current residents of said list: Mike P., Corey aka CEE DOG...

    Greetings from Arkansas

    Hi. I first signed on to Autogeek many years ago, studied up on the new-to-me idea that Turtle Wax wasn't the only thing available for car finishes, and tackled my several year old DD with a PC7424 (non-XP, that long ago), some 1Z Paint Polish, and Menzerna Final Polish II. Followed that with...
