    Anybody ever see Meguiars wheel cleaner do this to leather?

    My buddy put a bottle of that stuff in his passenger seat and it leaked out onto the leather, causing this horrendous stain. It won't come out with the common leather cleaning products, any ideas?

    My latest project(s)

    So this thread was supposed to be about my 1990 Firebird: It's a survivor, a 74k miler with factory t-tops and such.. But whomever did the most recent paint job did some crap work... Good from far, but FAR from good. Turns out there were actually horrible runs in the paint and some really...

    Waxing or glazing a new paint job?

    We have a paint booth at our store and I just had a conversation with the painter about waxing/sealing a vehicle after it's been freshly repaired and painted. He mentioned on one breath that he "will sometimes hand glaze them on their way out" and in the next breath he mentioned that we...

    Ivan Karstuff at home in the Ozarks

    What a lucky fellow Ivan must be, to have won a home with me in an Autogeek online contest! I quickly drummed up an order so that I could get my Ivan AND a few goodies that were (all of the sudden) must haves for my detailing collection. Just like that, Ivan was whisked away from...

    Absolutely all about the AutoGeek!

    I am a car salesman and I see swirls... Everywhere. :nomore: When I came to AutoGeek it was following a google search for how to repair what I have come to know as "swirls" from improper wash techniques and the "holograms" that were the proposed "fix". What a ride it has been, so far. I now...

    How do you even respond to this sales pitch?

    The above is a statement made on another forum that I am a member of. I'm just curious as to how you would respond to this? Oh, and make no mistake, it's the beginning of a sales pitch for a sealant/coating that he claims lasts for years and won't "swirl" like waxes and sealants. Seems like a...

    Flyer/Craigslist Ad ideas

    I had an idea to pick up some extra cash and make some new friends, maybe advertising paint correction, either online or at the car shows and stuff? Here's what I've got so far, the idea was to solicit "paint correction", not "my kids are messy" detailing jobs, if that makes sense.. Include a...
