So my GG polisher is a bit older, maybe 10-12 years old and I think I'm in need of a new motor brush. Unfortunately GG is not returning any of my e-mails and I don't have a model number on my polisher for them to reference, just a picture. Can anyone assist me with finding out A) What model...

So I just purchased a new-to-me (2018 Dodge Ram Hemi) vehicle. And like any new car owner, I want to keep it new looking for as long as possible. It’s been 5-6 years since I’ve detailed anything and I know a LOT has changed in the detailing world. I used to use Meguiers ultimate compound...

A few years ago I bought the Autogeek Quart Foamaster Foam Gun. Loved it! Well a few months ago I was washing my truck and when I was done I was in a hurry to move it so my wife could pull her car in. Well in my haste I forgot to move the foam gun and ran over the reservoir with my pickup...

Hey everyone! Just got my box in from AG form the 12 Days of Christmas sale and I think I may have ordered the wrong pads for my 7426XP. I THOUGHT I needed the 6.5" pads, but I obviously needed the 5.5" pads. (been awhile since I ordered any). I talked with customer service today and they...

Well my wife is finally out of the hospital and got her home! She was restless so I started digging around online trying to come up with something for washing/rinsing. I'm not going to slap down $400 on a CR spotless system and there's a lot of talk about the DIY systems that imitate them...

Ok, so I've been working a lot of overtime and getting some really nice paychecks to boot! So I thought I would upgrade some of my stock and wanted to get some feedback. Here's where I'm coming from to give everyone an idea of what I've been using. PC 7424 XP with Megs M105, M205, and I think...

Hey everyone, it's been awhile since I've visited the forum and boy has everyone been busy!! Been busy myself with personal issues (all worked out!) and my job, especially this time of year (toy retail). Had a few questions for some of you guys so that I might tell "Santa" what to bring for...

Hey guys, been a long time since I've posted here. Been a LONG LONG LONG winter and today I got to get out and give my pickup a little attention she's been begging for. Since I have no garage, I have to wait on Mother Nature to cooperate with me on my days off. So the past few days I've gone...

Hey everyone, I've been away way to long and had a really hard winter I had to get through. I had some major issues with my rear brake pad this winter where the metal was grinding on the rotor creating a LOT of brake dust build up. Now my wheel is chocked full of red/brownish brake dust that...

Ok, not sure really where to post this so I'm putting it here. This post will also be on several other forums so forgive me if you see this somewhere else. Ok, first my rant. MEAN PEOPLE SUCK!!! :rant: As some of you may have remember from last year I fell victim to an unfortunate vandalism with...

Ok, so I was on another one of my forums today checking in on the "detailing" section of it and this is what I find: [/IMG] :doh::cry::help: With these quotes: "I run my truck through the car wash at least once a week, they vacuum & de bug, then put it on a machine & the truck goes...

Hey all, I wanted to know how many people in or around the Kansas City area were on this forum? I was thinking of getting a few of us together for a meet and greet. I think it would be great for a few seasoned people and a few novice people to have a 1/2 day of our own "show car garage" fest...

Ok, I need all MS Excel guru's! I'm working on the pad dryer and have ample info, however I want to put this into a spreadsheet. What I have is a simple spreadsheet that looks like this: Now what I want to do is change the "M" column. By doing so I need to change the "Difference" colums at...

Is it completely necessary to wipe off the compound/polish if you were going to add more product to your pad and go over the same area again? I understand wanting to inspect the finish, but if you know that you need to hit the area again, is it absolutely necessary to do a wipe off? Just seems...

Ok, so I washed my towels today and, as usual I always go over them for loose debris. Well upon inspection I noticed on almost every one of them there were these plastic shouds embedded in them. At first it reminded me of a finger nail, but they where everywhere. Some of them were really...

Ok, there was a post a while ago: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/how-articles/26512-how-dry-foam-pad-after-hand-washing.html that Mike had mentioned if someone was an entrepreneur fabricating a pad dryer. Well I have dabbled in woodworking for many years and for me that's the easiest way...

Well after much frustration with finding out about orange peel, GGROP on again off again working, pads ripping my first 100% detail is now in the bag! I'm entering a few pictures on the Ram Truck Forum for a shot of being in a calender they are putting together for next year. So without further...

Well I've been wanting to clean the inside of my wheels and my rotors for a long time and I just got myself a new car jack (the on the truck came with is crap). So here are just a few before and after shots. Nothing big, not the greatest, but it's better than it was. Inner wheels before...

Ok, so I found out that my paint has orange peel on it. What I want to know is those of you who detail other peoples car, what do you tell them when they see that? I want to detail a few of my friends and co-workers cars but I don't want them being dissapointed as I was when I first saw my...

Ok, all this talk about gear, supplies, technique, but absolutely no mention of how to tape off stuff. I tried taping off my truck tonight and it was a pain. I used the 2" 3m blue tape but I noticed they changed something about this tape. The outside is slicker and waxy. The sticky side has...
