I have seen a few posts recently about getting into the nooks and crannies around emblems or other tight spots to remove the other guy's wax. A crazy idea popped into my head for a simple tool that might make this easier or more fun. Take a kids/cheap power toothbrush (pick your favorite super...

Was looking at glazes for daily driver maintenance to avoid trying to keep up with real life by polishing away clearcoat on a non-garaged car. I saw positive comments about the Glossworkz Glaze from PB and Sonax, but then today I see the Griot's stuff pop up on BOGO and I'm wondering if...

Saw this pop up recently and thought it might be an interesting and inexpensive APC to try out. I'm just a hobbyist and don't need a gallon of APC for my projects. And this dilutes at 10 or 20:1. Would like some feedback if you're using it! Chemical Guys All Clean+ Citrus Based APC...

XMT Polishing Pad Cleaner by Pinnacle For your dual action or rotary polisher. That stuff ^^ Over the weekend I did some heavy cleanup work on a 1998 Honda Civic with some neglected--rather, "forgotten"--paint. I Iron-Xed, Speedy Prepped, and washed it really well and after doing a couple...

I'm a hobbyist and don't go through MF towels as fast as some of the guys who do this for a living so I tend to not have a big stack of demoted towels readily available for grunt work. I think it would be awesome if Autogeek were to evaluate what's available and bring us some good quality cheap...

I've been slowly building up a layer of protection on our MINI over the last couple months. Today was the final layer. All that's left to do is the window coating with some Gtechniq G1. First order of business was a waterless wash with Opti-Clean and green microfibers with rolled edges. Once...

Playing around wiping PERL on the dash of my vehicles but I ran into a problem... whether I spray or use an applicator, I always get smudges on the windshield. It seems to be pretty tenacious and resists both Sprayaway and Optimum PowerClean. I was thinking of either using good old fashioned...

I'm about to do a quick one-step on a new-ish car. The car currently has (what's left of) a single layer of Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax from a few months ago. It's recently been clayed (I may do a second claying on horizontal surfaces since it's ungaraged) and is not TOO dirty. do I need...

This may be a naive question but humor me because it may be the best I can do. I have a 5 week old and limited daylight and weather left this season. I can NOT take an 8 hour break from being dad to detail something. Is it feasible or even a good idea to simply tackle a car one panel at a...

I'm just getting into this as a hobby and going to be cleaning up 3 cars over the next few days/weeks/months/whatever. I've seen a lot of photos of bright lights and swirls for before shots and bright lights and no swirls for after shots, but... What is the best technique for using a bright...

Honda Element MINI whatever it is... How do you care for textured exterior plastic panels? I'm talking about these fenderwells specifically: My MINI Countryman...

Hello Autogeek. Been browsing around a while getting some information to maybe do some work on my three (soon to be two) vehicles. One is a 1998 Honda Civic that's been waxed maybe twice and lived a fairly hard life. It's got it's share of paint defects but it would be nice to give it a...
