Hi everyone! it's been a while since I've posted here, and I asked a similar question in the past. I looked at my post history and I don't remember what I used. I am going to be correcting and coating my buddies car collection and need recommendations for compounds to bring down to FL with...

Hello all, Hopefully this is the correct area to ask this. I have a 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE with 7,000 miles on it. The car is flawless with the exception of the front bumper. the previous owner tracked it quite a bit (im guessing roughly 50% of the 4,900 miles I bought it with were track miles)...

I bought a 2002 Mallett Hammer Corvette Z06 with only 6,000 miles on it. The car was in terrible shape when i bought it both cosmetically and mechanically. The car had a problem with the ABS/Traction Control/ Active Handling so it was torn apart to try and fix the problem. I bought the car in...

I put a layer of opti coat 2.0 on my car last summer and I want to put on another layer. I'm going to claybar the car before I do anything. is that all I need to do between layers or do I need to buff the whole car with something? Sent from my DROID RAZR using AG Online

Hey all. I washed the car last night and put another coat of Wolfgang's deep gloss paint sealent 3.0 on And let it dry for an hour before removing it. Paint felt nice and smooth as I removed it. I went and felt the car today and it feels/sounds like sandpaper!! I know this product is...

Thought i would share this since everyone here is a car guy. Went to IKEA this weekend and picked up a Billy Bookcase and glass doors to go with it for my diecast collection. Before this all of them just sat on an open shelf getting covered in dust. Hopefully there will be no more of that with...

I detailed a friends 06 Gallardo a few weeks ago and he wants me to do a Ferrari he just picked up today. Its a 02 360 Spyder. the car has pretty bad swirls. Im wondering how soft or hard the clear is. But my biggest question is about the clear bra. does clear bra swirl like paint does? or was...

Buddy wants me to detail his 06 Gallardo and I am curious how soft Lamborghini clear coat is so i know what products to use. i have to order some pads so i want to order products at the same time if need be. The car has 30,000 miles on it and has light to medium swirls in it. The owner takes...

I'm wondering what everyone else is using to light up their garage so you can see the paint really well all over the car when detailing. my garage is pretty dark, no drywall to help reflect light, just the wood studs. i went to home depot today and looked at some T5 High output fluorescent...

Hey all, since it finally got nice I am Trying to do i full detail on my Corvette for the first time since i bought all the stuff in november. The problem i'm having is that nothing seems to be doing the job the way i expected. I started out with Megs Ultimate polish and then went to Megs...

i want to do a long awaited correction on my 02 pontiac grand prix. I bought the car used 5 years ago and have no clue how much clear i have to work with. im willing to drive to you and buy your beverage of choice! They are just too expensive for me to buy one when i would only use it a couple...

A good friend of mine was nice enough to let me take each of his cars for a day here and there during the summer, so as a way of saying thanks (he won't take money or let me buy him a thing) i decided i would detail them all for him in the fall before they went away for the winter. Enjoy some...

I was thinking of ordering up the Griots Garage machine polisher and their machine polish 1-4. Anyone have expierence with this system? What can I use to protect the car against winter climate. do I want to use a carnuba wax or a paint sealent? I am also open to using other brands. Give me...
