I am getting a bit of spray from the quick connect on my PF22. I was going to put some water tape on the threads but it also seems like the quick connect is not fully screwing into the fitting. I was wondering for those who use the PF22 and the 1.1mm orifice if the quick connect is expected to...

Apologize for the double post from "What did you do today, in regards to detailing?" Did some spot polishing of my Black XC-90. A lot of surface area on this one. Did the passenger door lips and side panels of the hood with the GG 6” with the 3” backing plate, white polishing pad from Lake...

I have a bottle of ONR and thought I would finally make use of it. I have typically do full washes as I get nervous about the rinseless ones although I had pretty good experiences with Ammo's Frothe. I thought about making it into an instant detailer or some other use. I had an extra 35 ounce...

I saw an advertisement for the Foam Cannon v2 and was excited at the prospect of not having to manually mix the solution. In retrospect this doesn't seem like that big of an issue. After trying a variety of suggestions from customer service who were very responsive and pleasant to work with I...

Am I right in thinking this is the beginning stages of clear coat failure. Respray is the only option - correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have a Grandmother with severe allergies and needs her car interior cleaned. We have put in a large high quality HEPA filter in the car to run for a bit but need some guidance on cleansers for the surfaces/carpet cleaned. I will recommend she replace the air conditioning filters. Any thought...

My eBay browsing has found me looking at the childhood car of my Dad, a 1967 Pontiac Firebird 350. Now the cost is the primary barrier to taking this on now, not to mention that I can’t drive manual ;-), but another barrier is buying sight unseen. The latest one I have been watching is in...

Was driving this afternoon and came across this poor victim of the bird gifts. Was this in Hitchcock’s Birds movie? Sent from my iPhone using AGOnline

I found myself doing some idiosyncratic things now that I am interested in this obsession (I mean passion.) I thought I would tabulate some of mine and thought it might be a fun thread to have people post those things you do around your car (or even the house I guess) as a result of your...

Is this what is happening on my headlights? You think I should try one of the headlight restore kits? Sent from my iPhone using Autogeekonline mobile app

My car was parked under a pear tree and some seeds of sorts landed on the paint. The red innards of these seeds heavily embedded in the clear coat and it would not budge with several washes. I even tried a mild polish and with heavy pressure I could get some of it but instead of removing a lot...

Thanks to the guidance from fly07sti I have been hooked on these two equipment upgrades. I don't have to touch the paint unless a certain location warrants it. Maybe it doesn't get as clean as it would be if I used a mitt but boy it is much faster and I don't introduce new scratches. I think...

So this is a follow up to another post on a mirror repair. There was a slightly raised spot in the repaired paint. I figured he just ran a rotary on it so seeing buffer trails, assuming that is what I am seeing here, is not that surprising. When I have some 'extra time' I will run my GG 3" or...

My Volvo XC 90 was the victim of a hit and run and the left driver's side mirror was smashed. I ended up filing a claim and it was a good thing I did because the parts/labor came out to $1822. I found some scratches where I assume the mirror or glass had hit the paint. When I got the car back...

Did some preliminary searches but up empty for how to deal with this so here it is. My back (tinted and heated) window on my black XC-90 was smashed out sometime last night. The bag that they probably thought was a laptop bag was just 'fragrant' gym clothes (small victory). My wife generously...

Grabbed no scrub black magic tire cleaner instead of the duragloss autowax and wiped down the outside of the car. A little too dark for the WW. Thinking I will probably have to do a 2BM wash this weekend. Any other concerns? At least it says it is ph balanced lol.

A friend just sent this link of an impressive result and it occurred to me that this might be a AGO member. Anyone? Bueller? http://i.imgur.com/xyu5ip3.gifv

I got a $100 gift certificate for Father's Day. I am a weekend warrior with a GG6 and 5" backing plate with pads. I have been enjoying this thus far. Now the certificate is for Griot's Garage, unfortunately not AG. I am trying to see why would be the best investment. I can obviously get...

I did a waterless wash, checked for above surface contaminants, and then polished the black hood on my XC90. I decided I would try the HD Speed in the sun - since I read it was sun friendly - and these are the results. I truly liked being able to see the impact right after the polishing...
