    Chemical Guys Inner Clean Vs Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer

    Tried these both recently. First I bought the Inner Clean, but I cant stand the smell, like a p0rn star was sitting in my car. So I bought some significantly less expensive Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer, and I like it a lot better. To be honest, It seems like it cleans even better than Inner...

I just want to test my prep and application process on the hood, make sure its working before moving onto the rest of the car, which got...

    Fighting Losing Battle

    I feel like I am losing the battle with my daily driver. I used to park in the tree shade at work, but was always battling tree sap issues. I was routinely having to compound out a couple spots on the roof or hood a couple times a year where tree sap damaged the paint. Plus the car was getting...

    Need Help Choosing Pad

    Griots DA with 5" backing plate. I have an area of my CR-V where I cant get good correction. Its the concave curved area where the hatch release is. A MF pad wont bend enough to get good surface contact, and my blue hydrotech foam pads slow the rotation down too much to allow much if any...

    Car Pro Reflect - Awesome!

    So after washing my daily driver this weekend I noticed that some sap had etched the paint on the hood! So I had to break out the griots and the ultimate compound to fix her up. Afterwards, since I had all my stuff out, I went ahead and ran a pass of Car Pro Reflect finishing polish over the...

    After I compound, can I go strait to BlackFire GEP and then BFWD or should I do a IPA wipedown or quick dawn wash in between?

    MF Pads on Griots DA

    Is it just my unit or are these pads much easier to slow rotation? I tried them out this weekend on the hood of my DD. I couldent wax it for 3 months due to a repaint, so it got waterspots and a scratch during that time. This was my first time using MF pads, used the Lake County ones. With a...

    New Paint - Wax : 3Mo, Paint Sealant Immediately?

    So I get my car back from the bodyshop today ( bike rack fell on hood ). The hood has been repainted, and the fenders and bumper were blended. I asked the service guy how long I can wait to wax the car, and he said that a true wax, I would need to wait 3 months in order for the paint to gas...

    Its Like A Mirror, lol

    So last week my bike rack fell on my daily driver, smashing the windshield and denting the hood. I got the windshield fixed and took it to a bodyshop. The estimator was looking it over, seeing if he could fix the hood or if they needed to order a replacement. At one point he stops and says...

    Question About Wolfgang Deep Gloss Liquid Seal

    What is the expected durability? Should it be equal to, less than or more durable than the normal Wolfgang sealant? I realize its impossible to know for sure, but an educated guess by the Autogeek staff would help me decide how I will use my sample.

    Simple Wash And Wax Of My Vette

    I didnt have time to do a full detail this weekend, but I went ahead and washing my Vette, and put another coat of P21s Concourse look on it. A couple thoughts. First, I had Wet Glaze 2.0 under it when I did a full detail this spring. While the shine is similar now without the glaze, it lacks...

    ONR->Spray On Car Wash ? Dilution Ratio

    With ONR being on BOGO, Im thinking of buying some and diluting some to use as spray on car wash for my Corvette. After driving, I usually use Griots spray on wash on the dirtier areas such as the nose, lower sides and back, let dwell for a minute then wipe off. It works pretty good, maybe a...
