Had a Harley customer ask me if I could ceramic coat the chrome bits on his 2016 Low Rider including the exhaust. I told him probably not but honestly not really sure since I never had anyone ask me do it. I have coated chrome emblems/badges in the past with no issues but not sure how the...

I bought one of these after being skeptical for a long time. After years of using clay bar It’s officially my least favorite part of the detailing process so I finally bit the bullet and picked up the NanoSkin Wash Mitt in hopes to speed up the clay bar process. I know a lot of people say it’s...

I just couldn't believe my eyes so I had to share this with my Autogeek friends. One of my good buddies bought a brand new Chevy 1500 High Country from a dealer in CT. He immediately gave me a call before purchasing to ask me about doing a GTechniq CSL/EXO ceramic coating. I said sure lets do...

So this year I have been applying GTechniq CSL and EXO V3 to most of my customers cars. I have been super happy with the product and the feedback from my customers has been very positive. I had a few customers ask me if it is safe to use a mild clay bar or a fine NanoSkin clay pad as they have...

Starting to take on a lot more volume of cars lately and I am considering to purchase a Grit Guard Universal Pad Washer while there is 20% off today. My main question is can this washer be used for "on the fly" cleaning? I use the complete Rupes compound/polishing system with my Rupes 21. I am...

Took on my first Motorcycle client today which was a very dirty and swirled 2012 Harley Road Glide. No where near as difficult as I thought it would be but had its challenges in the hard to reach areas. Kind of wish I had a smaller polisher for some of the tighter areas. At first I tried using...

I am testing these two products and am running into a hazing issue. So I polished down my testing hood and used panel wipe to cleanup any polishing oils. I applied the CS Light which was fine and had no issues. I followed up with EXO about 20 minutes later and I am getting haze no matter how...

Hi Guys, I have a customer who had his whole car including wheels ceramic coated with GTechniq. Im familiar with cleaning ceramic coated paint but never wheels. I normally use Megs Wheel Brightener diluted 4:1. Would this be safe on ceramic coating? I also have IronX that I could use if needed...

I was trying to save a buck so I purchased a used Rupes bigfoot 21 polisher from a member on a different forum. Unfortunately I went to use it for the first time today and noticed the speed selector is not working. I get the same speed whether its on speed 1 or speed 6. It works good on whatever...

Hey guys, So 2 nights ago someone keyed every panel on my Black Subaru Legacy :awman:. I was extremely pissed yesterday but in the end I am actually kind of happy since my car had been repainted in the past and had some nasty clear coat failure (crows feet) on the drivers side. Unfortunately...

Hi guys, It is winter right now and I would like to clean and condition the leather seats in my Legacy GT. Being winter I cannot use Leatherique so with that said what is the next best leather cleaner/conditoner for the winter months? I have yet to treat these seats and would like to soften...

So today I did a full exterior detail and applied Liquid Souveran wax to top things off. I was kind of in a rush and totally forgot to apply my Klasse sealant before applying wax :doh:. Is it okay if I put down a layer of Klasse and then follow up with another layer of Liquid Souveran or do I...

Okay, so I just bought a Flex PE-14 Rotary and I am new to rotary polishing. I have been using the PC DA for about 3 years. With that being said, this past weekend I tried using the PE-14 with both LC Flat Pads and LC CCS pads using the Wolfgang 3.0 system. I then primed the pad with XMT pad...

Hey guys, I just purchased a classic red 1991 Mazda Miata (single stage paint). he previous owner thought it would be a fantastic idea to coat the front and rear bumpers in lacquer to give it a "shine". Well, it did the complete opposite and faded the bumpers :doh:. I don't know who would...

Hi Guys, I normally use this clay bar and it seems to perform quite well but I have not really tried any other brands. How well does this clay compare to like pinnacle and other higher end brands? I would like to try other brands but, if it just has the same results I'd rather save some...

Hi Guys, I just did a detail for my friend who has a VW R32. This car was in need of A LOT of swirl removal. I wish I could have used a more aggressive compound but, I didnt have anything at the time. I also didnt get any pictures before the wash (it was really dirty, especially the Brake...

Hi guys, I have seen a lot of threads about polishing exhausts but, my aftermarket exhaust is very "hazy" on the outside and has lost that "new chrome" look. I really want it to look like new again and see my reflection in it. Has anyone tried using the PC with some kind of chrome polish? If...

Thank you AG for the free AG Christmas towel with my order of pinnacle clay lubricants. I believe it was because of the 20% off Christmas sale? or I may just be lucky. :urtheman:

Okay so I noticed in the AG store there is a video on how to use the Pinnacle XMT swirl removers. I was going to detail my car today that has some fine swirls. I was going to use XMT #2(fine swirl remover) and then go straight to the XMT finishing glaze, sealant, then wax. The video says to use...

Has anybody used this yet? I am thinking of getting one from amazon. Looks better than the previous version. Kind of pricey though if you ask me. But, like the last version on the dry blade I don't think this one will prevent scratches any better. It will just contour to the body of the car...
