    Master blaster as a leaf blower?

    I know a lot of people use a leaf blower to dry their cars but has anybody ever used a metro master blaster to blow leaves? I didn't know if it had the power to move leaves off the driveway from standing erect or if one would have to kneel down a bit to get the nozzle closer to the ground...

    Hello dolly????

    So where's the bucket dollies? They've been on back order for months! I check daily to see if they've come in. Over a month ago, nick said a week or so. So far I've missed a 15% off and a 20% off promo... When they come in, the only way AG can make amends is to offer them BOGO. :-)

    What's the difference between Groit's garage paint prep and Groit's garage pre-wax cleaner? When would you use one vs the other?

    Waxing' in the winter

    So, I'm wondering if there is anything to be aware of with regard to applying wax in colder temperatures? Obviously, you can't wax a car when the temperature is below freezing but how about mid 40's or lower 50's? (I have a garage but it's not heated) Does the wax cure differently or slowly...

    Collinite 476 vs 915?

    Could somebody who has hand applied both waxes compare them for me? Durability? Ease of application? Thanks.

    Another "why is there air?" question

    Every time I wash the car I wonder why the dirt doesn't just fall off? I hit it with a powerful burst of water from the hose. Dirt doesn't move... I foam it up good with a foam gun. Dirt doesn't move... One would think that all that lubricious soap would lift the dirt off the paint. I blast...

    I "collinited" today!

    After spending all summer playing with all of these fancy, expensive, wowo waxes with their abundance of sparkling polymers and exotic ingredients and perfume-y scents, I decided to put a coat of 476 on the daily driver for the winter today. It was refreshing to use an honest, old-fashioned...

    Cold weather washin'

    Its getting about that time here in Ohio that we put away our wash buckets for the winter. I always want to wash my car one last time on a nice day in October or even November but I always get myself soaked when I wash the car. I'm only 5'6" and even on a small car, I have trouble reaching the...

    Bird sh#t remover and your LSP

    So... a couple of days after I waxed my car, a pidgeon expressed his opinion about Fuzion on the hood of my car. The Poor Boy's Bird sh#t remover did the job, alright but... Does bird sh#t removers and bug erasers also remove your LSP? Should you re-wax the spot?

    Ultra poly clay bar size

    So I bought the pinnacle clay bars on this weeks BOGO cause I never tried them before. They are billed as being 4 oz. bars. I thought they were a little small so I weighed them. They are only 3.6 ounces or about 100 grams. No big problem... It's just an issue of truth in advertising that...

    Detailing Truths...

    I found autogeek.net about 3 months (and $1000) ago. I thought I'd share a few things I've learned this summer. Feel free to add your own additions. === Expensive wax always looks better than cheaper wax simply because you paid more for it. Wax applicators are like toast, they always land...

    plastic chrome

    Do you treat this stuff as a plastic surface or as a metallic chrome surface? Can it be polished? with what? What's the chemistry of it... Is it actually a metallic coating on plastic or a non-metallic finish that just looks like metallic chrome.

    Clay lubes

    Is there any differences in clay lubes or all they all about the same? I'm going thru the stuff pretty fast and am thinking the best way to hoard it is to just buy whatever is on BOGO.

    Car emblems

    What do you guys use to clean and wax around car emblems and nameplates? Do plain old Q-tips work or do they scratch paint?

    Pinnacle foam applicator not discounted?.?

    Hmmm... Just noticed that the pinnacle foam applicators are not participating in the 20% off sale. I'd really like to get the 24 pack (WA-100-24) for a buck each. This would be a good candidate for a BOGO too. :-)
