    Extraction During Wintertime

    Hey everyone! I've been a member of the forums for awhile and have detailed several cars, but I usually do them in the fall, spring, or summer. I got a CPO 2009 Toyota RAV4 sport last Monday, and the dealership did not detail it for me. Consequently, the paint is slightly swirled & hazy (I think...

    What to watch out for buying a used extractor...Please comment, thank you :)

    I was just in contact with someone who is selling me their mytee lite ii for $300. The outside of the hose looks kind of dirty but I don't see any damage, he said it works well, and based on the way he presented himself and the product, he seems reputable. I will be driving 2.5 hrs to buy this...

    Suggestions to make AGO better than it already is :)

    Hi everyone! While reading an infamous "opinion post" (you know, one of those posts where someone states a strong opinion of theirs and it creates a big conflict) I said something to the OP and the thread viewers. It went something like this "Perhaps we can be more careful about what we post...

    Diff b/w Megs APC and APC+?

    I wanted to buy a gal of APC+ but ag is on backorder so I was wondering if I should wait or just place my order now with the reg. APC. Does the reg apc have a strong or unpleasant smell? Is it basically the same as APC + but with a diff smell? Thanks!

    Hey everyone...so I bought a foam cannon on saturday and am extremely excited to try it out! I'm sick of using wash soaps that are supposed to be sudsy and aren't.

    Has anyone used Polycharger Wax booster?

    I looked at it and it seems like a cool idea. I could use it for customers' cars as maybe an add-on. It would also be good for my car, and seems to be cheaper (and probably easier to apply) than opti-coat. What do you all think of it?
