Hi friends, long time no speak. :) I hope you are all staying safe and healthy enjoying your holiday weekend. Some of you forum old timers may remember me when I was more active here. I caught the detailing bug after a few years back, but I haven't been active in some time. Personal health and...

So, this is a bit embarrassing. I took a half day on Friday and decided to wash the car. It had been a couple of weeks since I got in a really good washing and I was anxious to try my new power washer and some other new stuff. Anyway, I started around 11:00 am which was my first mistake...

Hey folks. My wife cleaned her windshield this weekend and apparently it was pretty filthy. She took a Magic Eraser and wetted it with Meg's APC to do both the inside and outside. Now she is saying there is some sort of visible film or residue on her windshield. I haven't scoped it out yet as...

</rant> Good morning, AGO! I took the day off from work and had the morning to myself, so I figured it might be nice to give the GTI a waterless washing before it got too hot outside. I was wrong. The first thing that hit me the second I walked out the front door was the humidity; like pea...

Hey all. As an apartment dweller without a garage, basement, or attic, I need to find a creative way to store my stuff. Ideally, I like to keep my products organized by type or intended usage. I am also after a portable system so I can grab my go-to gear should I need to perform some location...

Hey folks, At some point in the life of my wife's Forester, the paint started peeling off the wheels. They look pretty hideous. We're giving the car to our son next year, so before then I'd like to strip the wheels down to the bare metal and Plasti-dip them. What is a good product to strip...

As some of you may recall, I live in a development where severe restrictions make it very difficult to properly wash and detail a car. Notably, there is no place to hook up a hose outside the apartment. As a workaround, I tried the Worx Hydroshot, but it lacked the oomph I was looking for. Plus...

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! Yesterday, while putting the finishing touches on a rinseless wash, I spotted the following defect on my driver's side front door. I don't know what this is or how it got there, but I've removed so many bird bombs from my car in the past three weeks...

Hey all, I have one of the IK FOAM 9 sprayers that I have used precisely twice. The first time around, I used Chemical Guys Honeydew Snow Foam diluted to the recommended ratio. Now, here is the problem: I had plenty left over, so I didn't empty the sprayer or wash the nozzle. The next time I...

Over the weekend I did a thorough two-bucket wash on my GTI, followed by Meg's Ultimate Fast Finish. Today I did quick waterless wash with Wolfgang Uber since there was only a light dusting on the car. I thought later tonight when I get back from class and it's cooled down a bit I might do a...

Okay, need some advice. Here is the scenario: You just washed and waxed your baby on Saturday. Since then, there has been rainfall, pollen, and lawn trimmings attacking her. She's looked better. But she's also looked worse. You haven't driven her since Saturday, so there is no caked on mud or...

I got a new bottle of Hydro2 Lite on Friday and there appear to be solids floating around inside the bottle. I tried shaking the bottle to see if they would break up but that didn’t do anything. Is this normal or should I contact customer care? Sent from my iPhone using Autogeekonline mobile app

Worx Hydroshot - Poor water pressure Hey all. Just did my first detail with the Worx Hydroshot and I was underwhelmed by the water pressure. I used the more powerful 4 amp battery combined with the turbo nozzle, and even on the high setting the Hydroshot barely managed enough water pressure to...

Hey all. Hope you are all enjoying your Memorial Day weekend. For those that served, I thank you for you service. One facet of detailing that I have never quite gotten a handle on is paint correction. I never invested in a DA polisher or accompanying products because I have an irrational fear...

Hey all. I am sure this question comes up a lot so I did some searching, but I haven't found any answers that seem definitive. So, I thought I would pose this to the community. My GTI is a week old and it has rained every day since. At some point soon I hope to give him his first proper detail...

In my quest to find a proper hose-less solution for washing my car at my apartment, I stumbled upon the iK Multi-Pump Sprayer. It looks like folks have known about this product for some time, but since I've been out of the loop for the past few years it flew under my radar. http://a.co/bxa9TKH...

Hi everyone. As I mentioned in my introductory post from earlier this week, I am back in the detailing fold after a several year hiatus. Since then, the car has changed, but the challenges remain the same. I live in a neighborhood that consists of duplexes built as two-unit apartments. The...

I can't quit you. :) Hey all. It's been a minute since I've posted here but I am back with a new car and a fresh zest for cleaning the damn thing. :laughing: My name is Andrew, and I am from Montgomery County, PA. I came here a few years ago looking for advice on detailing my new-to-me 2009...

Returning the loaner car to the dealer in better condition than you received it. Seriously. I need to put down the microfiber and take two steps back.

Hey all. I live in an apartment complex where there are water restrictions and no hose hookups. For my weekly maintenance washes I have been successful with waterless washes, but wheel cleaning at home has been a challenge. I'd like to use a quality wheel cleaner but most require rinsing...
