I've been away from detailing for a while so I haven't been here in a while. I see the company's under new ownership and some products have changed. Anyhow, there was a great cleaner called DP Cleanse-All Exterior Cleaner. Anyhow, I'm not seeing that any longer but I am seeing something called...

I can't seem to find this anywhere anymore so I need a recommendation for some alternatives. I bought the light from Flex from Autogeek a little while back and I think it's okay, but I don't like it as much as I liked the Brinkmann. Which flashlight do you guys use to find swirls?

Where I live the water is quite hard so I really never get through a car wash without water spots. I'm looking for a way to be a bit lazy. After I finish drying the car I'd like to start using a finishing wax with a DA so that I can put protection on the car and remove water spots at the same...

Hello, it's been a little while since my last post. Anyhow, I have some Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, M105, M205, and Menzerna PO85RD that are a few years old. Do these products last or do they tend to go bad? I've been out of the game for a while and have a potential opportunity to do some paint...

My first post in a long, long time. Anyhow, I was detailing my girlfriend's 2012 Honda CR-V and I came across what looks like dried cement on her paint. I tried like hell to get it off but to no avail. First I started off with DP Cleanse-All (undiluted) and then used Tar-X because at first I had...

Hi guys, it's been a long while since I've been here so please bear with me. There used to be a thread out there in the forum that talked about how to wet stand. I can't remember if the article had a video or pictures, but I remember one of the things I picked up from this thread was to put a...

Hopefully someone can help me out with this, I'm not much of a gearhead. Anyhow, my car seems to wanna overheat. There's no coolant in the recovery tank and when I remove the radiator cap I see no fluid. However I have no evidence of leakage and I would also expect to receive a message about a...

A friend asked if I could remove the defects out of his 2007 VW Jetta. Yesterday I took out the Defelsko and the overall paint thickness was around only 100 microns or so. Now I only measured the trunk, but for the sake of discussion lets assume that number is consistent throughout. Would you...

A friend of mine has one and would like for me to remove the swirls and I'd like to do it, however I keep reading about these new "self-healing" and "ceramiclear" paints. Does anyone have experience with this year and model car? Any gotchas with this I should be aware of? Thanks.

Well, I sold my black 2010 Camaro today. I'll miss having a Camaro, but not the one I had. I let the price of a 2SS back me down and get the 2LT. Having the V6 and not the V8 bothered me too much so I figured the sooner I dump this one the sooner I'll be able to get what I want. So, what do you...

Classic stuff. Brochures

For those that have used both, which do you prefer and why?

What's your favorite car song? So many to choose from.....GTO by Ronnie and the Daytonas, Drive My Car by the Beatles.....I don't know. I think I'm gonna have to go with Dead Man's Curve by Jan & Dean, what say you?

Okay, I know I've asked this before but I can't find the old thread so I'll ask it again. For those of you that don't have a garage for your daily driver, how do you care for it in the winter? The only option I'm seeing is to drive through one of those touchless car washes. Unfortunately I can't...

I just want to publicly acknowledge that Autogeek has recently taken very special care of me (not that they didn't before) and to say thank you for that. With their level of customer service it's certainly no wonder that AG is a growing company and the best at what they do.

Just finished doing my black Camaro and used Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish and Wet Diamond. What a joy the Blackfire line is. The car is so wet and glossy and Wet Diamond is so easy to apply and remove it's not even funny. Out of all the sealants I've used, Wet Diamond's application and...

Can anyone recommend a good one that doesn't reek of vinegar like the one made by Duragloss? I have some of that and it works very well, but the pungent stench of vinegar is very hard to take.

I'm getting ready to store my Camaro for the winter and want to make sure I do the right things. Obviously I'm going to wash the car and put a couple of coats of sealant on (Blackfire). But what's next? Should I fill the tank with Gasoline or is it better to leave it as close to empty as...

Wow! First let me say that this is the first time I've used this stuff on my wheel wells and tires and I am thoroughly impressed with its cleaning ability! The way it just lifted the dirt and grime off my tires without any agitation was just awesome. I think I've found my new tire and wheel well...

I have some Dr. Colorchip from October of 2010 and I just received my first rock chip on my trunk lid of all places :cry:. Needless to say I'm not happy! Anyhow, I have plenty left, but since it's almost a year old I wonder if I should just get a new bottle. What do you guys think?
