    That was fast...

    So, I take it that this is ONLY about products one buys at Autogeek and not about auto detailing products in general? If so I understand, after all it's owned and operated by Autogeek. It may be beneficial to have an area for products in general to post up about in case it works well and...

    993 Black Turbo Detailed

    Super soft paint on this Porsche. It is a repaint so that may attribute to the pain in the butt the paint was especially when most repaints are on the hard side. I had this Porsche in our shop for I think 6 days and it has at least 12 hours of work on the exterior alone. It was wet sanded in...

    OK, I was told that the Ferrari I did in my first video wasn't dirty enough so I figured I would demo it on something a bit dirtier. I found 2 Porshe's, one silver and one black, that had some grime on them so I did a panel on each on. Hope this better shows how the No Rinse can work on dirty...
