3D AAT 502 Finishing Polish Replaces HD Adapt as the Ultimate 1 Step!! That’s correct. As many have already been aware of HD Adapt being discontinued, there is a solution to the void in your product arsenal that may have started to take form. That void can now quite possibly come to a halt...

How many detailing company owners can rub shoulders with our soon to be Republican Presidential Candidate? Better yet have them come to your home for a dinner party! This pic was taken at Tunch's Miami condo. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall at this meeting! Who knows....maybe 3D/HD will...

Looking forward to 3D/HD participating at this year's Detail Fest! I've actually been to 4 of them, but only as a spectator. This year will be much different as we've made an alliance with PBMG. I'd like to personally invite everyone over to the 3D/HD booth to check out our line. We'll be...

Thought I'd share with everyone this pile of style Subaru Tribeca we worked on that was tore up from the floor up & beat up from the feet up. We do a ton of crappy cars, but this one was a bit dirtier than most. It didn't have to come out perfect and in fact it didn't, but I thought you'd get a...

I’ll be picking up my new company car (2011 Fusion – white) and wanted to experiment with a coating durability shootout. So far, I’ve had excellent results with Optimum Opti-Coat: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/22836-optimum-opti-coating-durability-test-review.html I’m...

This method will dramatically increase the lifespan of your clay. I wouldn’t be surprised if it lasted atleast 5 times longer just by following this easy procedure. Hint: If your clay is cold and stiff, soak it in a bucket of hot water and fold or knead your bar. Within 2 minutes it will be...

How about a buff-off contest @ Detail Fest this year? Bring your choice of tools/liquids and show what you can do (rules/regulations apply). Is this something AG would like to sponsor? Could be fun and memorable not to mention a huge learning experience for all involved. Anyone in...

Recently I was chosen to be one of the lucky 28 people in the US to test out and evaluate the new Meguiars DA Microfiber Correction System (MFCS). So far, after experimenting on nearly 12 vehicles I can honestly say that this is one hell of a system to say the least. Even though it’s designed...

I was contacted by this Porsche Turbo owner after he brought his vehicle to another S. Florida Detailer that claimed to be the best around. This person was commissioned by a well known local Porsche tuner and was told to do a complete detail. Immediately after picking the vehicle up the owner...

In the last week there have been 2 threads that were deleted? The 1st was the Polishing Chart thread started by 07 z-oh-6 and the other was the one Bashing LC Hydro pads from O.C. Details. Both threads were temporarily closed by Mike P with the explanation of “just for the night” to let things...

The purpose of this test is to document the durability and effectiveness of Optimum Opti-Coat. Unlike mainstream polymer paint sealants & waxes, this coating is not offered to the general public and is only sold to licensed and insured professional detailers. After hearing several people raving...

I did this 04 Mercedes AMG SL55 over a year ago and just came up with a few hours to do a write-up on it. Basically a complete detail with Stage 3 paint correction. Nothing too heavy, just a ~85% swirl correction, Interior & Engine Detail. Here’s what I did: Befores...

Finally received my Optimum Opti-Coat in the mail. I'm picking up my new company car (2010 Ford Fusion) and plan on testing this product in multiple ways. *1/2 the car (paint/glass/trim/wheels) will be coated for comparison purposes (gloss/swirls/beading) *Wet sand as much Orange Peel from the...

This past weekend I had the opportunity to work on this 2007 black Corvette. The vehicle was dropped off at my house late afternoon Friday and the owner allowed me all weekend to make sure the vehicle was brought back to better than new condition. This client recently had this vehicle...

I had the absolute pleasure of detailing this 2007 Aston Martin DB-9 Volante Convertible with 1682 miles. The vehicle retailed for approximately $200,000 and is equipped with a 6.oL V12 with 450HP. This is the 1st real detail it’s received other that the standard valet parker scratch & wash...

As soon as I heard about the rumor of a ShMiTT being made with grout sponge material, I contacted Aaron @ EDGE and insisted on getting one. He mentioned that they weren’t yet available for sale, so I asked if he had any samples. He then mentioned that he didn’t, but then offered the very last...

2008 Quadruple Black Porsche 911- Paint Correction & Protection On Super Bowl Sunday I had the pleasure of working on this brand new (337 miles) 2008 custom ordered 911 Carrera Cabriolet in solid black. The owner was quite disappointed with the car’s appearance and we both agreed that there was...

After reading the water restrictions for S. Florida (Palm Beach County) I noticed the area for "Other Outdoor Water Uses". It allows the use of *low volume* pressure cleaning. I use a electric 2 gallon per minute pressure washer to wash my cars. Is this considered low volume?? It mentions that...
