    Fortify Winter Wax

    First, I would like to thank Nick and AGO to give me this opportunity to test this wax. Second, I want to apologize not doing this review earlier - I got bitten by the flu bug pretty hard this year. Third, I do understand that the weather here in Southern California is not optimum to test...

    Fixing deep gouges in headlamps

    A friend of mine has a couple deep gouges in his headlamp that are much too deep to simply sand out. Are there any clear plastic fillers that allow me to level out the imperfection?

    Fix or leave alone?

    In the course of a year I have noticed that my drivers side head lamp had a bit of an clear coat failure issue. When washing my car yesterday, I noticed that its getting worse. At first it was just a little (1/4" circle), but now its beginning to spread down the edge of the headlamp. I've...

    Meguiar's acid-free wheel cleaner FYI

    Just FYI, D143 will eat away anodized finishes. My wheels have black anodized center caps which means I cant use the cleaner on my wheels :( I tested the cleaner on a scrap piece of anodized aluminum and sure enough, it stripped the color.

    Abused and Neglected BMW 325i

    This car belongs to an old friend of mine. The last time we spoke he mentioned that he wanted to have it detailed by a pro. Im no pro but since I have the next 3 weeks off I figured I'd give it a shot. This car has not been kept very well over the years. It is filled with swirls and weird...

    Chemical Guys Store, Santa Ana CA

    I had the opportunity to visit the CG store today. This shop has been open for about 2 weeks but the guy that runs it was on vacation so he still has a lot of unpacking. This shop is no where near as large as their warehouse so only the essential inventory is kept here. CJ, the guy who...

    Fuzion got the best of me

    I applied Fuzion about 6 weeks ago and today I was planning to do some spot polishing to get rid of some random swirls. When I originally applied Fuzion made sure that the prior LSP was completely gone. So I went ahead attempted to strip Fuzion. My go-to for removing LSP goes in the...

    Review: Meguiar's M101 Compound

    I finally had a chance to use this product and directly compare it to Menzerna FG400 and M105 (from memory). I am sure anyone reading this review has at lease read something about it here on AGO. This is the latest Megs compound that supposedly cuts like a compound but finishes nearly LSP...

    2000 Tacoma daily driver + Meguiars White Wax Review

    This truck belongs to my dad and I usually apply an AIO once a month. This is the ONLY time it gets washed! My "go to" product has been either Poliseal or Sonax paint cleaner/AIO which are my favorite AIOs. Overall this truck is in pretty good condition since it doesnt really get touched...

    Autogeek paste waxes

    I have the sample sizes of Fuzion, Souveran and Midnight Sun waxes in my cart. I want to take advantage of the current sale but don't want to buy all three. I already have Pennacle Series 2 wax but Im not sure if any of the 3 other waxes look different. Do any of these waxes look any...

    Zinc plating

    I had my brake calipers/rotors gold zinc plated about a year ago. The calipers are beginning to lose its luster and the rotors are beginning to rust. The lack of durability is probably my fault. I managed to abrade through much of the plating by polishing everything with opt metal polish...

    2011 MBZ C300 After Body Shop Correction

    If anyone doesn't remember the state of this car after a week in a MBZ recommended body shop here it is: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/off-topic/59642-another-body-shop-nightmare.html I took advantage of the summer-like mid 80s weather and attempted to reverse the body shop mishap...

    Another Body Shop Nightmare

    These pictures are for our insurance company, but I thought I would share. This is a "Preferred" body shop that works with Farmers Insurance and apparently our local MBZ dealer sends their work to this dealer. Someone backed into my mom's 2011 Mercedes C300 a few weeks ago and we got the car...

    Foam gun for maintenance wash question

    I have the CG foam gun and was wondering if 1oz of soap is a bit much for weekly washes? I get sufficient foam with 1oz of CG Citrus Wash+gloss I usually spray foam on the car, wait a few minutes, and spray another layer of foam before washing using the 2 wash bucket technique. I've read...

    Jet black BMW 318i

    This car was given to my younger sister from relatives for college. It had a spun engine bearing and was set off to dad's repair shop for an overhaul. Today was the first day I had a chance to inspect the finish. All I can say is wow! From what I've been told it was left outside for about 8...
