    Detailing products that work for me.

    Greetings, fellow Autogeeks! It's been quite awhile since I've last visited, and I hope everyone's having a great 2015 thus far. I recently received my very first bottle of Collinite 845. Since there already has been literally thousands of reviews regarding this legendary wax, I'll limit...

    To Collinite, or not to Collinite. That is the question.

    Good morning, fellow Autogeeks! Although winter is still quite a few months away, it never hurts to be prepared for winterizing my car's finish. I'm currently putting together what I'll need and begin winterizing when the moment's right. I currently use Natty's Blue Paste, topped off with...

    Ryobi 18 Volt Products

    Greetings from Texas! Ryobi makes some innovative products that can easily be adapted for car detailing use. I own the 18 volt One+ system. Drill/driver, flashlight, tire inflator and leaf blower. I like the leaf blower for it's multifunctional use. I use it to blow excess water out of my...

    Chemical Guys All Clean+ Citrus Based APC

    Good morning from Texas! I read a recent post saying that this APC is safe for all wheel types. But is it paint-safe? I am currently using OPC, and happy with the results, but I am looking for something a bit more cost effective. I think CG All Clean+ might just fit that bill.

    Storage for stuff

    A high quality and functional storage solution is a must-have for any serious detailer, whether he (or she) is a Pro or a Weekend Warrior. This is especially true for the mobile detailer who must "take the show on the road." He must have something that will hold all of his essentials, plus any...

    Needed: Brain

    Greetings! Over the past several months I've done several product reviews, complete with pics. I've had no trouble in the past, but have hit a snag. Would you guys believe that I've actually forgotten how to do it? Ummm...post pics that is. C'mon, get yer minds outta da gutter. I've gone...

    Streaks after washing

    Greetings! I have a slight problem of streaking while drying my car after washing. I use ONR to wash, and my LSP is Poorboy's Blue Paste. I'm not sure if it's because of the chilly weather, or if ONR does not play well with Poorboy's Blue Paste. I use between 2.5-3 ounces of ONR per 3...

    Another funny thing happened on my way to work.

    Greetings! There's a billboard that I pass on my way to work everyday. And on this billboard is an advertisement for a Christian radio station that's 'Safe for the entire family'. What's so odd about it? It's located directly above a Gentleman's Club. Gives a whole new meaning to the...

    End of days

    Top of the morning to all of you! According to some people, the end of the world will occur on December 21, 2012. What would you do car related? Do a full detail one last time, or just say: "Ah, the heck with it"? Kinda wacky, kinda offbeat, I know. Just wanted to inject a bit of humor on...

    Funny thing happened on my way to work.

    Greetings! About a week back, as I was on my way to work, my TPS light came on. I pulled into the nearest gas station and found a nail in my rear passenger side tire. After inflating, I drove down to my dealership to fix the problem. Okay, so far so good. I was running a little late and asked...

    Variety

    Greetings! My next AG order should be arriving by today. I am a big fan of ONR, so much so that I decided to spring for the gallon size. Thus far I've had great results. But as the old saying goes: "Variety is the spice of life". I've already tried Blackfire's Rinseless, and I was very...

    Allergic reactions

    Greetings! It seems my car is allergic to acorns. Just detailed my car yesterday and the roof and some parts of the hood are pockmarked! Yeesh, you'd think that my car had gone through a hail storm, or something. The condo management frowns on residents chopping down trees, so I guess I...

    This is a great place for info!

    I've been a member here for only a few short months and I really do appreciate the feedback I've gotten from the many members. My tiny little pea brain has managed to soak up and hold on to those many bits of information and it has boosted the "Inner Detailer" that was in me. However, as much...

    Cordless blower

    Greetings once again! I am thinking of getting a Ryobi cordless leaf blower and using it to help dry my car after washing. Granted, reviewers state that the battery does not last very long, but I'll only be using it to blow excess water out of various nooks and crannies. One+ 18 Volt 120 mph...

    Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. NOT!

    Greetings! Fall is finally here, and Winter is just around the corner. With that in mind, I need to pick up some de-icing fluids. In the past (before I got serious about detailing) I'd use whatever OTC de-icing fluid I'd find at various retail stores. What those noxious chemicals did to my...

    Real or hype?

    Over the years, I've used a variety of waxes: paste, liquid, and most recently spray waxes. Now I'm thinking of returning to a paste wax. But I have a question regarding foam applicators. Here's the two I'm looking at. Lake country ccs applicators, wax applicator, sealant applicator Pinnacle...

    College days revisited.

    Greetings fellow AGer's! The current edition of The Amazing Race has two Chippendale dudes. This brought back memories of my college days. And don't worry, the following story is family friendly. LOL My Graphic Arts class was putting together a softball team, and one of my classmates, a...

    Noise cancelling

    My ears are still ringing from the last airline flight. Had to crank my earbuds way the heck up just to overcome some of the cabin and engine noise. Any suggestions on a set of good, affordable noise cancelling headphones? My budget is $80 max. I was looking at Bose's offerings, but the price...

    Not quite, but close to being a nightmare.

    Is it my imagination, or does everyone here notice that dark colored finishes are hard to care for? Especially the ones with a 'soft' paint job like my Honda. Fine scratches, swirls and cobwebs. Thank goodness it's nothing too deep nor too extensive. And then there are the water spots from the...
