    Optimum big red sponge. CarPro hydro2.

    Been a very long time since I've posted, but I recently tried some new products and was very impressed. First is Optimum's big red sponge. I didn't really think a sponge could make that much of a difference, but after seeing several videos of how long it lasts and how well it pairs with...

    Polymer "clay" products being damaged

    I remember seeing people were damaging their polymer clay mitts or towels with certain cleaners. Does anyone have more info to this? And more specifically, will IronX Snow soap cause damage to it?

    Pad and Microfiber towel washer

    I'm sure most of us have seen the pad washer bucket. The one with the bucket cut out at bottom to prevent backsplash, and you basically pressure wash your pads on top of the grit guard that is set higher up. I tried to search and find the original post I had seen, but no luck. Here's a video...

    search function

    When you search for something, and it's out of stock, it won't show up at all in results. It's very annoying, I got confused wondering if maybe it's been discontinued. I had to use Google to find the Autogeek direct link to product which showed out of stock. Then I could finally add it to the...

    Take a look at dirty windows and oxidized clear coat

    Well I washed and coated windows today with Meguiars window cleaner, microfiber, and rainx on a paper towel since the crazy South Florida rains have started. Opti-clean on inside of glass. I hope you can see in the pic, there's almost a permanent residue of what looks to be water drippings on...

    I'm BACK! One step correction on black 96 Chevy Impala SS

    Hey everyone, been quite a long time. Long story very short, shortly after ordering all my detailing supplies I was rear ended and hurt my back. Had to have minimally invasive spine surgery. Was completely out of doing anything more physical than walking for about 2 years. Well, I got the detail...

    got into a car accident

    Was rear ended and my front and drivers side got pushed into median wall. It's really a blessing in disguise because now all this has to be repaired or replaced. It was in need of it anyway. At least I'm hoping that's the positive in this anyway..

    non-auto cleaning uses with foam cannon

    I'm excited to get my foam cannon and pressure washer. Usually they come with their own foaming attachment, but it sucks compared to the ones use for detailing. Does anyone use theirs for real cleaning? Side of house, roof, pavement? If so what cleaner do you use, and is it safe to use bleach...

    headlight challenge #2 not as good :(

    Well, my 2nd time trying headlights. First time was awesome, this time not so much. It still has like a slight gray/blue tint over them... I wasn't pleased. The left side is also worse than the right. These were in much worse condition than the other pair I did though. I'm assuming I should...

    first time headlights

    First time with a dual action polisher too, my GG6. First a wash with Optimum wash and sprays of OPC 3:1 and the safe scrub. Then a nanoskin medium "claying". Followed by the sanding, started with grit of 500, followed by 800, 1000, 1500, and 3000. Then Hyper compound on Opt compound...

    Bissell Little Green Proheat vs SpotClean

    Well, I just made my first large and true order, can be seen at First major order I discussed how I kind of skipped on interior items due to me not having a Hot Water Extractor/HWE. It was brought up I should check out the little green machine/LGM. I did, but then Amazon recommended a similar...

    Finally pulled the trigger first major order

    Always been a stalker and fan of the site, but I don't really take care of my own car all that well, I just love what can be done haha, don't shoot anyone! I've been getting really annoyed with my headlight oxidation so I decided to finally order the proper tools and do it myself! Along the...

    Sweating headlights

    Seems silly to start a whole new thread for this, but I didn't find anything using search, and didn't want to jack someone headlight thread. If you have a customer who needs headlight repair but they also have headlights that have water or sweating look on the inside, what can be done? Sanding...

    Trim and fabric beyond restoration?

    So I have this CRV which the trim is all spotted looking and so are the windshield wipers. Do you think DLux would do anything or they are beyond help? The wipers came out worse than real life, or maybe true to life because the sun was right on them during pic. Also, how would you suggest...

    website layout and critique

    So, I'm no where near having a detail business, buuuut, I do have a lot of free time at work and I'm a bit of a dreamer lol. I should be coming into some money shortly from sale of my house and still debating whether to load up on stuff and make a legal business out of it. Anyhow here's what I...

    Dealing with law enforcement police

    This post is inspired by the other thread about signing a confidentiality agreement http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/off-topic/67747-customer-wants-confidentiality-agreement-signed.html Basically, you don't have to talk to the police about anything, nor do you have to go to the station with...

    Windshield washer cleaner fluid

    Which one do you use and why? Do you worry if it effects your windshield sealant? Do you provide it to your customers when you detail? I use the green Rain-X, I don't worry to much about the degree of freezing because I'm in south Florida. I like it because it does a good job cleaning and...

    Sealants: Opti-seal, jetseal 109, griot's garage gg

    Ive been reading more about this Optimum brand, seems its OPC APC is the truth. However it's other products aren't as popular. I'm looking for a strong, long lasting sealant. I'm down to the 3 choices in title. GG specifies one year of protection. JS109 and Opti don't specify. I've used JS 109...
