I HATE cords. I hate wires. I SUPER HATE hoses on the ground. Ive also never been a fan of the gas blowers we dry cars with, mixing gas etc. Just as annoying to me is the gas power washer you must pull start, and go back to shut off, leading to many trips back and fourth, and much wasted time...

We have been blessed in the past years with AMAZING customers and much success here in Houston. So, it is time we leave the old shop and move on to bigger and better things. It is bitter sweet. I've been overwhelmed all summer by finishing up projects at the old shop, building out the new...

A client and good friend of ours bought himself a birthday present this year. a 2001 Acura NSX with 11,xxx original miles on it. Upon initial inspection of the vehicle, I smelled E-85, and found a 2.9L Whipple Supercharger sitting atop what looked to be a re-worked 3.2L engine. Needless to say...

Hey everyone! Been a minute since I've gotten on here! So we finally wore out all of our old Brinkmann lights that we loved to use. The old rechargeable ones, not the new AA swivel ones. What is everyone using these days? We generally polish with two badass LED lights on stands, but as far...

So its been a LONG time since we have been on AG. It feels great to log back in. We've made a ton of changes to the studio. We've built a detailing room within our facility thats custom tailored to what we do. Our showroom up front has been remodeled and looks great! We've been over run with...

Customer drops a bike off at the studio. After a few days of messing with it, he was fed up. Contemplating sending the bike to auction, he came to us as a last resort. Bike looked as if it had literally been DIPPED in plasti dip. The body panels weren't removed for plasti dip. Everything was...

We got a call a few months back about traveling to dallas to concourse detail a BMW M3, owned by Paul Walker. While I sift through the process shots, Ill go ahead and post a few of the finished images after the detail, and get to the write up as soon as possible. The single stage paint...

We were absolutely floored when a customer called in to get her Z28 detailed. We were astonished to find out....its a 2014. It's the first Z28 in Houston, Texas, and we get to put our hands all over it! Sure, every day we cars of much higher value driving around houston, but this one hits...

We had a fun weekend at the studio, and here are some photos from it! A pair of friends brought in their yin and yang cars, 2012 Cadillac CTS-V and a 2013 GT500. Both guys drive the heck out of their cars and both rag on each other for their taste. Awesome customers. And then we had a couple...

Hey guys! So my team and I have been contacted to travel to Dallas Texas to concours detail a rare car for the owner. He will be shipping it to California after to enter a show. The car is a very rare 1991 BMW, owned by a certain celebrity known to collect them who's recently passed. I...

We were contacted by a customer that had a 1966 Mustang he had restored and was going to surprise his brother with on his wedding day. He was scheduled to drop it off on wednesday and pick it up Saturday morning on the way to the wedding. On his way to the shop Wednesday, the car overheated...

We had the pleasure of working on a beautiful Viper this past weekend. The car was in great shape coming in the shop but there was still a ton of work to be done. The car was initially washed and clayed. There were two large chips in the front hood that we will get to later...

So I am coming from a PC and a flex, and added a Rupes 15 to the arsenal. What I am having trouble with is keeping the Rupes spinning. You can put almost no pressure on this thing before it stalls. Is it less important to keep this polisher spinning? AMMO NYC mentioned he put a washer in...

HELP! I need to get my hands on some touch up paint leveler that will actually work. I need it by wednesday…. Can it be bought locally or is it only online?

So I have been using exclusively Chemical guys stuff for the most part, since becoming a "professional". Ive recently tried branching out and sampling other products. Last night I compounded a Silver 2011 Camaro SS and it was awful. I used M105 and an orange pad. The compound was like elmers...

Things are really picking up here in Houston with the coming of TX2K. We had several cars come in last week and did some really awesome work. I will try and post some detailed write ups of these, but for now Ill flash some eye candy. :buffing: I may just use this thread from now on to post...

Alright, let me define the situation here. The vehicle is a 1986 Chevrolet C-10. It has been repainted and is single stage. Its a dark blue. My partner and I begin buffing, and run our test spot with his buffer, a PC. We settle on a white Chemical guys Hex pad, and Chemical guys V36. I use a...

Which wax or sealant have people found to be the most Hydrophobic?

Customer brought in a 2005 Corvette that makes over 850whp. Needless to say, it was in incredibly bad shape for a corvette. Im a fellow Corvette owner…and i cringed. Nonetheless I sent him home incredibly happy. He almost wouldn't leave with the car, so impressed he didn't want to ruin it...

Does anyone have a good alternative that is less costly to Iron-X? I generally run chemical guys products and they currently offer no such product in the US.
