    Staffing?

    Has there been a staffing issue lately at autogeek? It seems now everytime I order (ok the last 3 times) either something has been missing or it takes way to long to ship. Example I ordered on 9/13 and it didn't ship till I sent an email today and then I got the shipping notification 5 days...

    Why Multiple Layers of Cquartz? Waste?

    So I was at an event last night where a guy was giving a demo and talking about Coatings, he talked about how some Coatings are designed to be a ONE layer coating, to where others are meant to be layered and then a final layer put on top. Cquartz/UK was mentioned as one of the ONE layer...

    Permanent removal of Cquartz UK

    As the title states, I'm needing information to remove my coating. I applied it to my own car as the guinea pig and while I love it, I left a bunch of high spots and only did 1 coat. After doing several more cars and having a much better feel, I would like to redo mine. What is the least...

    CQuartz UK

    Was curious if an old bottle of cquartz I had was going to work, it had been opened and used a year ago but I had some left so thought I'd try what was left on the top of my car. So far so good, this is about 6 months after I had applied it.

    Swirls in coatings?

    With all the coatings out there that basically are 2nd clear coats, can the coatings get swirls in them? If so is that a sign of the coat failing or can it be fixed? Buffing removes the coating correct? I'm just curious how to handle if swirls star to appear after a coating.

    a good place to sell?

    Does anyone have a good website to sell a high dollar piece of detailing equipment? One that's detail oriented? I know the obvious ones like just craiglist or ebay, but something more specified to our industry?

    Brand new hellcat, rotary?

    Question...... There is a 2015 hellcat, owner has had it for only two months and is wanting a detail. The guy he plans on using is old school and uses a rotary or nothing at all. It makes me cringe to think a guy taking a rotary to a brand new hellcat. I'm afraid he is going to take a wool...

    Microfiber selection

    So according to the microfiber chart on auto geeks store, there is only one towel for compound removal. I seriously doubt this is true, but when it comes to removing something like fg400 on black paint, what type of towel is recommended? It seems like all the towels say "perfect for detailing...

    Overspray removal questions

    Is overspray always going to be visible to the naked eye? I removed some from a clients car today and they felt I didn't get all of it, cause the panels that I didn't clay still felt a little rough. This guy has had the truck 4 years and is convinced the only reason some of his panels are...

    Dried on silly string.

    A potential customer stopped by the shop today, he had been out of town for awhile and someone vandalized his car with silly string. Well it's completely baked and dried onto the paint. I told him I would do some research and let him know. Anyone have any experience with this or have any ideas?

    How to debunk dealership protection packages

    It seemed to me that there used to be easy ways to tell people it's crazy to think these dealership protection packages are permanent. However it seems now there are several coatings that are advertised as permanent that are from very respected companies. Is the selling point now that...
