I am a saddened to let you all know that my last day officially representing Autogeek will be 12/31/2016. I will hand over the responsibility of Moderator and Internet Consultant to my fellow friends and associates at Autogeek. It is amazing to look back and realize that I started this role...

My new daily driver arrived at the first of the New Year. The dealer did nothing more than check in the unit, no cleaning was ordered and followed. Upon receipt of the unit , we have had several cool fronts and lots and lots of rain. I took the time and use of the garage to prepare and...

A big part of car care is trying to avoid those long detailing sessions to repair something that harmed your finish -OR- your interior. I have found over the last several new car purchases (both sedans and suvs) that a WeatherTech is warranted and a best practice. We have one in the CTS...

I love to walk the aisles around car care while shopping at the big department stores. I often notice the engine additives like Slick50, ZMax and Mystery Oil amongst others with their shiny boxes. I also notice in my car magazines Xado and others in the past claiming to reclaim lost horsepower...

I got a chance to try this wash this weekend and found it to be quite interesting. The label suggests its a polymer based wash and has a Lotus Drying Effect. (it should be noted I use a foam gun with all my soaps) Upon initial application to the car, I did not recognize any real heavy...

Got a chance to clean up the daily driver this weekend and really wanted to use the new Pinnacle Black line including the Synergy Paste Wax after applying the coating the previous day. Application on the coating and wax are Pinnacle easy, and the results are equally stunning. Just kept it thin...

For those lucky enough to visit the Four Star exhibit at Detailfest yesterday they were treated with a "yet to be released" beta test coating product from Four Star called Ion Paint Coating. Keep your eyes peeled as we hope to see some healthy reviews and a possible release date for this...

Scholl Concepts SW20 Speed Wax Cost: 17.99 for 500ml I love spray waxes and quick detailer + type products. I know Nick recently tested the carnauba based spray from Scholl, so I decided to try this version. As I spritz it on silver metallic paint I noticed a slightly pinkish color and...

Lets have a friendly post about our favorite spray wax. Lets share how we use it, why we like it so much, and what is the best application that you've found in order to provide a great outcome.

I don't use a pressure cleaner (washer) for my cars but have gone thru two around the house over the past -5- years. That might seem like a long time but these are used 3-4 times annually around the house. What have you found to extend their lifetime and any maintenance items that one can use...

Took the Buick in for some warranty work and upgraded the tires to Motivo's from Nitto. The dealership wanted to give me something similar and so I was given a Baby Lacrosse (Verano). Car had 700 miles and nicely equipped, but very small. In the end it was no loaded Lacrosse. I decided to...

Obviously a bit of a difference in price (Amsoil) and theres more in one (Mobil 1) versus the other container. Your thoughts and why ??? Both meet DEXOS requirements and also meet GM's new requirements.

Well tonight I have now seen it all. A new product that will renew trim on automobiles with a simple wipe and guaranteed to last more than two years. And wait .... it also removes years of oxidation from your headlamps by just wiping it on with a special and included towel. You even get a...

Ok, did anyone see it yet ???? Thoughts ??? I like the new song from Soundgarden released for the premiere. I took the boys (5 and 7) out of school early to catch a matinee. While Shane is pure IronMan, I think that Hulk stole a scene or two with the kids. Anyone stay past the credits to...

I have received more than several PM's and emails lately from visitors coming to Detailfest and looking for "other" items to do while in Stuart, Florida. To be honest I live more than 60 minutes South and don't know the area all that well. So hopefully everyone can post some favorites here for...

Long story short, I bought myself a new daily driver with all the bells and whistles. The Aura, while holding up extremely well with Opti-coat, just wasn't what I personally wanted for the daily commute. The next owner will wonder why the surface is still so glossy and why all dirt just seems...

My wife found a discount coupon for Pepboys that offers 5 quarts of Royal Purple Oil and a Royal Purple Oil Filter for 35.00. I picked it up and saved 30.71 over the shelf pricing. Now I am wondering as a diehard Mobil 1 user, should I have any concerns using this product ?? I plan to use...

You gotta love the shape of a rental car, even when the rental agent "just" ran the car thru the carwash and is giving you the best one on the lot. Wife needed a car while her truck was in Cadillac for some maintenance. Of course, being Thanksgiving week the choice was limited to an Impala...

Anyone using additives in their gas and oil on a regular or annual basis ??? In the past I have used BG 44K with what I felt to be measurable results in additional fuel economy and smooth idle >>
