I just got a gas pressure washer. The PW is a homelite 2700PSI I believe, 2.7 GPM...it was like 270 at homedepot a couple weeks back. I was excited to get some foam. After hooking up the MTM and trying it twice with about an inch of soap in the bottom the first time, second time with about...

I searched the forum and basically got some old posts from 2010. Wanted to see if there was any updating to this info. Back then the responses were following two methods: 1) Hydrogen peroxide (which might remove the color from the fabric as well) 2) Steam, steam, steam...with Folex or...

In using the compressor to blow water off the car after a wash, it works well for the seams and trim, but for an open panel like a hood or roof, I find it lacking. I feel if there was an attachment to use that blew air out through a slit - like if I stabbed butter with a butterknife - it would...

My father's work truck which is being donated to my house build arrived last week....in quite sad shape. So bad, it is unsalvageable. The transmission is shot, leaf springs nearly rusted through, etc. However, she can use a little paint correction. When I say it has never been washed, I mean it...

I am curious if you guys who polish your vehicles once a year or once every other year notice the orange peel dissipate slightly with each DA polishing routine? My new vehicle has quite noticeable orange peel and I am considering a nano coating but don't want to coat the paint before I reduce...

Ok so i googled this for ten minutes and cant find an answer. Can one use prima hydro wax as you dry on top of wax such as collinite, et al? I plan to use this tomorrow...after a wash. I'd like to dry the car then use hydro prima wax as a lsp

I see these pads have their own backing plate and DA "threaded adapter" Having never seen one, will these pads (just the pad) go onto a LC BP? In other words, if I have GG6 with LC 5" and LC 3" BPs, can I just get some 3" and 5.5" Buff n Shine pads and slap 'em on the BP?

I have a container of wax that was plastic, and I dropped it. Crack... I want to find a replacement container only (empty), I can't seem to find one via Google. Anyone know a source? Are these sold at all?

I get the idea behind the two bucket, but as an engineer who is always looking for a better way, i have what i think is a better method...the one bucket. 1) fill a bucket 2/3 with water 2) add some soap, just a little bit 3) dunk 13 small MF towels folded up 4) use a MF towel for each panel 5)...

Wife's Toyota Camry. Just did the exterior and 303'd the all weather floor mats and interior...

How many cars can you do with one $80 opticoat purchase? Also, does opticoat self-heal the paint?

This is the first time I used a ROP. I got a new GG6 and instead of doing paint, I tackled the glass on the wife's DD. I used the CeriGlass with the rayon glass pads on the Griot Garage 6” ROP. Came out great! Highly relieved and impressed with the results. I decided to take some before/after...

I'm building a house...three car garage...so, the question is, how do you think it should be set up? The space is 23x34 with an extra 3x7 area to the side. Lets hear your ideas!

I don't want to waste this product and I know new cars have leather interiors but not all of the seat is leather. What's leather? Just the seat face and backrest? Should I use the LM on the entire seat, even the back of the backrest which is likely some sort of vinyl? The car is new in 2014...

I see the hydro-tech 3" pads but not regular LC flat pads in 3" size, just 4", 5.5" and 6.5" sizes. Are there standard open cell 3" flat pads by Lake Country that fit the 3" LC BP?

In this image, the guy on the left is doing something I thought one should not do, which is machine polish a panel edge. Comments?

Mazda 2014 CX5 in soul red Menzerna SF4000 Griot w/LC5" BP LC waffle 5" in orange gray and red I was planning to do two treatments with SF4000, one with th orage to remove any light swirls, then go over the car again with the gray to buff it up (or maybe the red) I am new to this, just got...

My wife's car has a winshield on her Toyota that is scratched and also has this waviness to it that she claims the blurriness is enough to start giving her a headache and I'd like to see if I can correct it. What I ordered already: 1 - Griot Garage 6" 2 - 5" LC backing plate 3 - Cerium...

I just learned I can use an air compressor to clean/dry the pads. I am a total noob, what else can the air compressor be used for? (besides the obvious of filling tires, etc)... I researched using it for a foam gun and it seems one really wants a pressure washer for that. But I'd like to use...

Well I took the plunge and got some stuff. First order, and I ordered it here at autogeek.net. Here's what I got, hope I did good for doing weekend warrior stuff for the family rides. Our cars are actually all new (purchased in last year except one), so I got just a polish figuring the paint...
