Is it possible to remove these plastic scratches? This is interior trim in my Acura. I’m afraid if I use a plastic cleaner it will make things worse. Sent from my iPhone using Autogeekonline mobile app

Hello, I’ve had my website up and running for a little while now. I felt it would be beneficial to ask for some feedback. I’ve been tweaking things here and there. I would also like some opinions on my logo. I designed it myself years ago but have been debating on changing it. The website...

I’m thinking of offering a waterless wash maintenance service for my business. The process itself seems simple but what is the best process to handle the wheels and tires? The idea is to perform this service once a month so ideally the wheels shouldn’t be to terrible. For others that offer this...

After years of use my Griots Garage 6" DA is broke. My first thought was to just replace with the same unit but I have been reading up a lot on the newer BOSS unit. For those who have upgraded from their 6" DA do you have any regrets, was it worth the extra money? Also, do you feel the...

Hello, I am working on a customer car and have a question regarding wax cure time. I applied Meguiars black wax to a Lexus over three hours ago and it’s still wet as it was when I applied it. I’m working in my garage and the paint is cool. However, the ambient temperature is around 40 F. I’m...

I'm currently polishing a Toyota FJ and I'm having a difficult time removing these spots. They are only on the hood and they don't appear to be water spots as those came out. These appear to be etched into the paint, perhaps tree sap? I'm using M105 with a cutting pad and Griots DA. I'm thinking...

Hello, I've decided to restart my detailing business this season after a 4 year hiatus. I have since created a Facebook page and redid my menu. I am looking for feedback on my services as well as any other tips for my Facebook page. You can find it by searching for Tull's Auto Detailing. Any...

I have a quick question regarding backing plates. I currently have a GG DA. I'm going to try and use 5.5 inch pads. I may be able to get a 5 inch plate locally and save on shipping. I don't know the details yet but are all backing plates the same? Or can they interchange from one DA to another...

I need some help with a car I'm currently detailing. Its a 1969 Opel GT. All original including paint. I wiped #7 on it last night and let sit. I just wiped it off and started polishing. I started with a white polishing pad and M80. Zero change in the paint condition. Then tried M83. Still...

I may be detailing a late 60's Opel gt. car is very clean and very original including the single stage paint. It's a dark green color and is very faded and oxidized. I am very interested in trying Mike Phillips method using number 7. I just don't know how to charge for something like this. I was...

I have an issue with my car and the gauge cluster. On the gauges there were some nasty smear marks. Glass cleaner would not remove them at all. Looks like an interior cleaner splashed on the lenses causing smears. I tried plastic x and that seemed to help after a couple applications. But now the...

I finally have a website! I'm very happy with it. Thought I would post here to get some opinions. Not just the website but my menu as well. I have put a lot of time and effort into designing my menu. So far I am happy with it. I need to post more pictures but those will come in time. So right...

Here are some pictures of my Chrysler 300. I recently made a thread regarding wetsand scratches. Overall I was suggested to use a rotary to remove them. I borrowed a friends Dewalt rotary. Used a wool pad with M105. The scratches came out with little effort. Im starting to think these scratches...

I am doing some work on my 1965 Chrysler 300. I have had this car almost three years. It was re-painted sometime in the early 2000's from what I was told. The paint is NOT single stage, but BC/CC. I would say the car is a good 15 footer. The first picture shows the car after a wash and wax. This...

I just detailed my 2004 Accord coupe/V6. I purchased this car last December and finally had time to detail it. After wash and clay I was shocked to see how scratched up the paint was. Literally the entire car was bad. I knew there were swirls but not to this extent. I used the GG 6" DA. Used...

In the following pictures the bumper cover of this civic has a couple scuffs. The spot by the rear wheel looks like paint is gone, and the only way to repair would be a repaint. The second picture however looks like something I can correct. I was thinking something like M105. I know its hard to...

I am very tempted to purchase the new 3rd gen Griots Garage DA. My old Meguairs G110 just died on me yesterday. I was thinking about the G110v2 but Griots has a lifetime warranty. My question regard pads. I recently purchased a couple megs pads. A polishing and finishing. The are the sift buff...

I detailed my 2007 MX-5 today. Turned out real good. I don't have any before pics, just afters. I used ultimate compund followed by ultimate polish ending with ultimate wax. I was happy with the end results. Most swirls were removed. Thanks for looking.

I recently made a thread about my logo. Here is my menu. I know every area commands different prices. I am looking for opinions on wheather my services belong in the right packages. Would also like feedback on the layout and style as well. Separte services are on page two. I am still working on...
