Dear Friends, First of all, I'd like to say I miss you so much. Once upon a time I had the Privilege to stay here more often, following, liking and LEARNING A LOT from all you guys. Nowadays, I barely have time to eat / sleep in between detailing! I have a huge feeling of gratitude with this...

Dear AGO friends, Today I'll be sharing one of the latest works performed at my 'old home-based detailing business' before moving to my new Detailing Studio. If I had to pick a single car brand to work with, Mercedes would be on top of my list: their cars are not only beautiful but very well...

Dear Friends, Last time I've placed a thread in here was to talk about an accident that occurred at my garage and took away my pride and joy of running a successful Home-Based Detailing Business. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/off-topic/92180-happy-birthday-tato-2.html#post1258688 I was...

Dear Friends, It's been a while since my last show'n'shine but at any moment of my detailing routine I've forgot about any of your lessons and shared enthusiasm to this craft / art / etc. Also I cannot help but say I'm truly (eternally) grateful to many people here who helped me SO much (AGO...

Dear Friends, This week I had the pleasure to work on a beautiful 2013 BMW 328i. After inspecting the vehicle with customer we agreed on a full detail (in and out), paint polishing and coating. To meet the needs I've invested my time in cleaning and decontaminating the vehicle first, then...

Dear AGO Friends, Today is the last day of 2014. Before moving on to 2015 I wish to share one of my latest jobs this year, entering the new year dressed in white, not yellowish! To reach the white, I've relied on latest released Menzerna Compound Super Heavy Cut 300 (SHC300 / misspelled...

Dear AGO Friends, I had a recent experience at AGO that really worth being shared. :Picture: No!, don't need. We always read and write about how Members (and Staff) cooperates within each other here, 'virtually, personally', you name it. Since from joining, positive attitudes from many...

Dear Friends, (asked the Expert featuring Mike Phillips section, but really would like to hear from everyone here). I got a customer who owns a MP Lafer, maybe many won't know what is this because it's a 'Brazilian Classic' which started being produced in 1972. It's based on VW engine...

This is an interesting tool I'm seeing often at stores here, would like to have some opinions, what do you think about it? It offers 21mm orbit (2000-5800 OPM), 600W, 110V. Cost: ~$450. Don't be fooled by the price, a Rupes 21 here goes for 'ONLY' ~$1000, so those are considered 'cheap...

Dear Friends, This week I had the pleasure to work on an Audi A1 dual tone (Blue / Silver). It was a very extensive work (compiled in 3 full days) but I believe the results worth the effort at the end. My process included interior / exterior detail followed by coating of all surfaces. To...
