I recently received the Makita PO5000C as part of a very generous giveaway here on the forum. I played around with it some this week and wanted to offer my thoughts. If you are not aware, the Makita offers the ability to switch back and forth between free spinning and forced rotation mode...

Just wanted to provide some thoughts on Griot's new 3'' backing plate. Griots Garage 3 inch HD Backing Plate Mike P. has taken more in-depth pictures than I could hope to match in his initial showcase of the backing plate, found here. You'll notice it is more substantial than most foam...

I made this a very long time ago and wanted to share this(as well as be eligible for the Rupes contest that's currently going on) Winter is coming. This is what it was like last winter in St. Louis. It had been snowing for maybe an hour in this photo and it was heinous. Knowing that, I knew...

Hello all - just wanted to offer my thoughts on the Wolfgang Uber Rinseless product that I won in a contest here. I approached the review as unbiased as possible. Appearance is a little like Pepto Bismol. Smells like candy. Here are the poorly photographed instructions. It's 1oz: 3 gallons...

I had a Volvo S60 in for a correction and sealing this weekend. I felt this would be the best bet for the customer as the hologramming and swirling present really wasn't too deep, just all over. The paint was a little too thin for my comfort in some areas for a daily driver, so I didn't want to...

Have a question I already posed on the CarPro Forums but wanted to ask here as well for anyone with experience. On AG's website here's the verbiage for the product: CarPro Cquartz Leather Coating is perfect for light colored leather because it protects against dye transfer from clothing. From...

Hi, i already sent an email to the [email protected] but maybe posting will help. I cant seem to get the forums to load on my desktop. I dont use any firewall software. Whenever i tried to create a thread this morning it timed out and then stopped loading. I cleared my cache, restarted...

I was selected to receive and review the new Pinnacle and Wolfgang products that were released this week. Here are some of my findings for Pinnacle Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner & Conditioner. Sorry for the cell phone pics, I forgot my camera when I was doing this. I keep my interior very clean in...

I went to change out the backing plate on my G21 today and I was having trouble aligning the backing plate "shroud" and the actual polishers bolt part...they are both recessed on either side. I thought it lined up since it felt like it did, but im concerned its not completely flush. Is there a...

I have been on the hunt for a car for months. I had found tons of potential cars but they always failed my inspection because they had paint issues, too many defects, poor repairs, or general issues that I just didn't want to deal with on a new(to me) car. I knew I was asking a lot but I was not...

Hi all, I just wanted to offer up my review of some products I got on sale here at AG(and because I want to enter the Griot's BOSS contest in all honesty) I had this review on another site, and chose not to post it here because Evan J already reviewed these products better than I think I ever...

I was contacted by this customer at 2pm yesterday at my day job. She had asked me for a quote earlier in the week and I gave her my normal "quick prep" quote for an interior and exterior @ 8 hours. She said I was too expensive and thanked me for my time - fast forward to yesterday and she told...

Getting some conflicting information during my research online about this so I thought I'd ask. I use a GG6(newest gen) for my correction work. I get good results most of the time using MF pads, but I keep seeing much better results(fewer steps with less marring) from people using TB Black wool...

Here are the scratches I'm dealing with. I've circled the bad ones in yellow. Came out this morning, found them all over my driver side fender. I can feel some with my fingernail so I know they won't polish out. What's the best way to handle so many little scrapes? I have touch up paint and...

Woke up early this morning to try and help my mom bring a little life back to her paint. This was my first time working on an older car and one that did not belong to me. Before Pics: Driver Side Door -- This is the overall condition of the vehicle summarized in one door. Did not ever see a...

Hey guys, my name is Zach, I'm a new member here. I live in St. Louis, MO. Just got my first order from AGO and went to read up on one of the products... ended up getting lost in a forum-coma for about 2 hours! Lots of great information here and I'm looking forward to learning a lot more about...
