    Who details the cars in the commercials?

    Mike, I'm curious, who details the cars in the commercials? I'm always amazed at how good the Mazda's, Cadillac's and the Buick's look on TV, who does the detailing to make the new cars look better than new?

    Rinseless wash vs two bucket method

    All, I've been playing around with no rinse washes lately and I like the look. Rinseless washes do increase the amount of laundry you do and that's an issue as my wife always gives me the hairy eyeball when I'm in the laundry room. I live in a rural area and right or wrong, we have no...

    Does anyone use CG All Clean for tires?

    Hello everybody, I have been using either Meguiars Wheel and Tire cleaner or Optimum Power Clean APC to clean the wheels and tires. Today I picked up a bottle of CG's All Clean for the tires just to see how it would react. With an APC, Optimum Power Clean, or Meguiars Wheel and Tire the dirt...

    I wish Autogeek had a "hide" option in store

    Happy New Year all! I've been taking inventory of products I've got in my garage and I noticed I purchased products for a second time that I didn't like the first time and promised myself I'd never buy again. I wish Autogeek would give us an option to hide products from the store when we sign...

    Speed Master Wheel Brush

    I don't know how long I've had my Speed Master Wheel Brush, it couldn't have been more than a year. I'd like to know when I bought it, so if there is a way I can look up my previous orders please let me know. I was very pleased with it, up until the moment it broke. Just like the pocket comb...

    Which electric pressure washer? There should be a sticky

    I want to get an electric power washer. I started looking at a Karcher, based on the reviews, I started looking at Sun Joe then based on experience having the thing I bought break before it did what I bought it to do I started to look at Kranzle. Somewhere between $100 and $1,000 is the right...

    Speedy Prep Towel

    My oldest son was home for his 21st birthday. He's driving my 2008 Toyota Avalon that he parks under a tree, and mostly neglects. He was headed back to Chapel Hill and I wanted to do a quick vacuum and wash. While washing I saw all the sap and other stuff stuck to the paint. I had a Speedy Prep...

    Trying not to buy any more wax.

    For some reason I've gotten obsessed with trying some Auto Finesse wax, specifically Auto Finesse Spirit, which is, for me, on the expensive side. I've got a pile of Dodo Juice, Pete's 53, P21S and probably enough wax to last at least half a life time. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to...

    Blitz-Reiniger, what do you use it for?

    I got carried away and added Blitz-Reiniger to a recent order and I've yet to find what it's good at. My original thought was that it was an all purpose cleaner and I thought I might use it as a wheel cleaner, that was a non-starter. I used it to launder my microfiber towels and I was very...

    2013 VW Passat with X on the hood

    I've got 21,000 miles on the vehicle and I've washed it at least once a week, multiple applications of Prime Lime Lite, not to mention wax applications, with all of that there is still a "Ghost" mark of a box with an X in it on the hood. It appears when then is a dew or a frost. Otherwise it is...

    Cold weather soap, Optimum Car Wash gels

    I had salt and crud all over my car, and even though it didn't get as warm as forecasted today, I decided to wash my car. It was 35 degrees and when I pulled out my chemicals, my Optimum Car Wash had turned to blue gel. I put it in some heated water and after a while it turned more or less back...

    Is Optimum Power Clean safe for wheel cleaning?

    I'm trying to cut down on the number of products I'm using. I was using Meguiars Wheel and Tire Cleaner and I liked it a lot. For some reason I decided to try P21S again (I was pretty unimpressed the first time) and again, I found there's just not enough reason for me to buy it. I'm wondering if...

    Optimum Opti-Seal

    I've been using some Optimum products lately and I bought some Opti-Seal, without a real plan on what I was going to use it on. My son is home for the Thanksgiving holiday; he is driving my 2008 Toyota Avalon that's got 160K miles on it. You can only imagine the unintentional neglect a college...

    Mike, I'm thinking about buying a foam cannon. I don't have a pressure washer, I don't mind buying one. I just want some advice on what is the best set up. Which pressure washer and which foam cannon?

    Cars that are seldom washed have less swirls

    I've washed several cars lately that have almost never been washed. I'm wondering if I just got lucky or if you've also noticed that vehicles that are seldom washed have fewer swirls. The vehicles I cleaned were filthy, which meant there was a huge visual impact in the before and after. I looked...

    Just curious, are all Dodo waxes basically the same?

    I've used several Dodo Juice waxes, and I'm wondering if there is any really difference between any of their waxes. I know there are different colors and scents, but is there any real difference in performance or protection?

    Chemical Guys Hybrid V7 vs. Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer

    This is my opinion of Chemical Guys Hybrid V7 vs. Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer. I’ve used both products and I really like Chemical Guys Hybrid V7, but it is simply out classed by Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer. According to Chemical Guys web site, “Chemical Guys...

    Go Ahead, hit it again, it's paid for.

    I spent part of the day Saturday detailing my car and used Pinnacle Sovereign Signature II for the first time. I thought that the results were fantastic. After Church yesterday I went to lunch. I parked about as far away as I could and I did that turn and look we all do to admire the work I had...
