hey all...got a question about what might be able to be used on a front windshield of a 2015 Subaru. The car comes with the "Eyesight" system. Reading through the owner manual, it says, "Do not use any glass coating agents or similar substances on the windshield. Do so may prevent the system...

Unfortunately, I don't have a picture to post so I will do my best to explain. I recently detailed a VW Jetta and sealed it with Opti-coat. About a week later, he washed the car and noticed some "spotting". In particular, the trunk has a plastic section where the license plate mounts. It looks...

Last vehicle received Opti-Coat. Customer wanted an extra coating of something to keep it like new with ease. A week later, car was treated with permanon. Love it! (Permanon was only applied over the Opti-coat once we got the go-ahead from the Permanon folks. The product apparently does not...

Sorry...I don't have many pictures to post but I wanted to share my experience with a new 2012 VW Jetta GLI. This car was my first to use Opti-Coat 2.0. As such, the Meguiars MF system was not going to work. I guess I could have used my WG products but I was not sure it was the right product...

I had a guy tell me that he washes his car with baking soda. Now, I would think baking soda could be a bit abrasive. Has anyone ever heard of this or use baking soda to wash their car? I don't....so I am asking. What would be the benefit of using baking soda??? Feed back please

Has anyone detailed an Audi All-Road and found the fender flares to have been painted? I have an upcoming All-Road detail that was recently "detailed" by someone else. I won't even bother to share the condition of the car...pics later for sure. The concern I have is with the fender flares. I...

I have a buddy who just got a brand new VW Jetta (nice car). It has very light scratches on it but overall looks to be in good shape (it should for new...and the lot boys did not mess it up!) The plan is to seal it with Optimum Opti-coat. The question is....after the clay, is there a preferred...

After a customer come to get their car, I find they are often wow'd. Some never ask and the next weekend, off they go to the local car wash and before long, the car is all swirled up again. Has anyone put together a little flyer to give a customer after the car is cleaned to help them keep it...

Sorry....not dozens of photos to show. I did not think about it at the time. Situation: Volvo S70 had hard water stains on the glass for several years. Owner said he tried all kinds of things to remove the spots but to no avail. The pics are terrible but I can tell you that when I initially...

First off, I really like AG. The site is great, and the forum members makes AG my favorite and only site worth visiting, especially with regards to detailing. I purchased the AG Foamaster and was really excited to use it. When I pull the trigger to spray, I get excessive water leaking out of...

While putting together a business blueprint, I have been asking for feedback. I got it and it has raised my curiosity...to the point of wanting to get your feedback. The initial design to go with the name of the company had a faded picture that was, in my opinion, very nice. One person said it...

This car rolled in with 176K miles on it. The owner did the absolute minimum to keep it clean for the past 2 years. Overall, a car with a lot of miles, it was in pretty good shape. It has not been waxed for over 2 years and it showed. Process: hand wash clay (WG Clay and Lube) Meguires...

I have been working on a Volvo s70. For a car with 175K miles on it, I think it is decent shape. Even though the car was covered with wax residue, the initial wash indicated (at least to me) there was no wax protection going on. The clay work went pretty well. Among the challenges, there are...

I have a few folks that would like to have Collinate 845 applied to their car before winter. If a detail was done (clean/clay/polish/wax, say with Meguires D/A), what would be the logical steps before applying Collinate 845? I am wondering if I have to basically start over or if there is a basic...

has anyone heard (tried) a product called "Miracle Coat" currently distributed by Miracle Coat Paint & Plastic Sealant??? It supposedly does a super job of restoring plastics and even claims to fill small scratches....hmmmm Having been on the quest for a quality plastic treatment product, I...

Today, I was able to detail a Subaru Legacy. It did not look too bad when I got it but the clay proved right away there was a lot of contaminants on the paint. Beige interior...I have to keep reminding myself why I don't like working on beige interiors! Today's activity Hand wash Light...

Feed back please I dare not call this a mini-van. It took about 15 hours to complete. Inside alone took 4 hours and a lot of scrubbing! Sorry, no before pics. I had to borrow neighbors camera to get after photos. The owner was very please...could only say "wow" over and over and his wife...

I am working on a van that has a GM black plastic (acyrlic) bug guard that is faded. What is the best way to clean it up? thanks!

I have been using the Wolfgang products and I am really happy with them. However, there are more people wanting a detail but they don't want the "full detail". This past weekend I did a friend a favor and detailed his "little" car. It took me 8 hours. I don't mind but the amount of effort was...
