    Help! Need to get her looking sharp and wet before her internet debut!

    Now that I've got your attention with that title :) I have a 2013 Subaru STI in Satin White Pearl. This color combined with the Subaru soft paint has been a battle keep up but with regular IronX+TarX decontamination and claying + Klasse AIO I've been able to keep the paint pretty well under...

    Dealership made a huge mess >:(

    Howdy folks, it's been a very long time since I posted here but I've been really spending a lot of time re-aquainting myself with detailing since getting my new car (well it was new a year ago). I have an issue though. A couple weeks ago I washed, clayed and put on a coat of Klasse AIO. Last...

    Polished my 2006 Civic Si (advice VERY welcome!!!)

    Well, i've had all the stuff (7424+XMT polishes) for a year but never got around to polishing my Kaitlyn (yeah, I named her. First new car i've ever owned and I always wanted an Si so she's kind of special to me lol). I was really nervous doing it, and it didn't turn out quite as well as i'd...

    Halogen Lights

    I need to pickup the typical Halogen lamps on a tripod, they'll pretty much only be used for Detailing but for detailing, better to go for 500W or 1000W? Brighter is better? Or there is such a thing as too bright? Edit: Sorry for the wrong forum, I thought I was in the Detailing Tools one :(

    Some advice on how to approach this?

    Well, i'm getting ready to polish my 06 Civic Si this weekend. Been invited to a car show next weekend and I want to make sure she's looking her best. I'm going to use XMT #2, followed by #1 and then XMT Finishing Glaze topped with Pinnacle Souveran Paste. The swirls look fairly light so I...

    Q regarding waxing techniques and machines

    So we've been discussing detaling on a Civic community I belong to. I typically try to offer as much advice as I can, most of which comes from reading stuff on here and in the AG guides, as well as my limited experience. One of the topics that came up was how exactly to apply wax. I recommended...

    Christmas in July!

    Well, I was overdue for getting a polishing machine. God bless the labor shortage here, means plenty of overtime for me. And what better way to spend it :D Might have gone a little overboard, but I figured it was all stuff I was going to get eventually anyway, so better to save on the shipping...

    Comparable Menzerna polishes?

    Hi everyone! Been awhile since I posted, lots of working overtime at work. As such, that overtime is burning a hole in my pocket and it's time to get a random orbital and polishes! I have minor swirling on my 1.5 year old Civic. I had decided to get the XMT #2 and #1 and then the Finishing...

    Detailed my 06 Rallye Red Civic Si - need advice

    Well I was all excited to start. Got my new Souveran Paste Wax, DP wheel cleaner and wheel glaze, all my MF cloths and Guzzlers were freshly washed and stored. Then I pull out my new Autogeek bag with all my products in it, to find that a brand new Super Clean degreaser bottle had emptied out...

    Thanks AG!

    I was getting a little ancy waiting for my order I placed a little while ago for my 2006 Rallye Red Civic Si. I made a mistake when placing it, forgot to add 2x 5gal GG buckets and accidentally odered 2 AG bags (which wouldn't have been too bad actually lol). Called Monique and sorted it out...

    How's this look for my first summer detail?

    Howdy folks, haven't posted in awhile. Last I did, I asked about the best products to protect my new Civic for the winter. I ended up (as recommended) going with the Wolfgang paint sealant and topped it with Collinite 845, and I was very happy with it (and got compliments even in the dead of...
