    Which Pads

    Finally got a chance to use my new Griots DA polisher this weekend (upgraded from PC7424). Recently I purchased some 5.5" low-profile Lake Country pads (but they were almost 2" thick !). I also have some older 6.5" lake country "standard" pads. The new polisher still seems to "bog down" ...

    Optimum Protectant Plus Replacement ?

    For several years I have been using Optimum Protectant Plus on my cars (I like that the product does NOT have an excessive shine, and lasts a long time). I need to order more, but notice there are only 128oz bottles on AG. That is a little too much product (took me almost 2 years to use the...

    P21S Wheel Gel - New Color

    Hello folks .. I have a question for the regular P21S wheel gel users... I recently replenished my supply of P21S wheel gel (2x 1000ml) and I noticed one of the bottles is not the normal green color. It’s almost clear. It seems to work OK, but why would one of the bottles have a different...

    2009 BMW 750Li Detail

    I took delivery of this car about (1) week ago. I was less than impressed with the condition of the vehicle, when I took delivery. The dealer offered me a detail, but I decided to take on the task myself. Its been a little time since I've done a complete detail (in / out), with clay, polishing...

    Rain Water

    I was wondering if anyone has considered, or used, rainwater to wash their cars ?? Here in North Georgia, with a level (4) draught, car washing @ your home is out of the question. I was thinking of trapping the rain water, then using my AG water filters to "treat" the water before passing...

    Order Up (And Out)

    Usually I'm grinnin from ear-to-ear when I get home and see a package from "the Geek", but today's order was met with some mixed emotions. Seems like "the Geek" and UPS could have done a little better ... For the Good Part (Most of the stuff was intact)..... And Now for the "not so...

    Ultimate Driving Shampoo ??

    So I'm at my local BMW dealer today and they offer me a sample of their "Car Wash Shampoo" (I figure, freebie ..:awesome: ) For some reason I decided to read the label .. does anyone else find it abnormal to have acids, alkane, alcohols, and salt in a car wash ?? Or are these ingredients normal ??

    Pinnacle Wheel Gel - Not so gel

    Just received my first order of Pinnacle wheel gel. I decided to give it a try after using P21s wheel gel. First thing I noticed is that the Pinnacle wheel gel isn't a gel at all .. its a liquid (more like water than a gel). What's up with that .. Am I missing something ??

    Howdy folks .. Recently, I did an exterior detail of my black LS460L: used XMT 3,1 then XMT finishing glaze. I topped it off with some Zaino Z-8 Grand Finale and the results were amazing (I should have taken pics .. Sorry !) Here's my question .. I washed the car again, and the "slickness"...

    CCS vs "Classic" Pads

    Maybe its me .. but after (3) solid days of working with my new CCS pads, I think I like the "classic" Lake Country pads. When I was working with my XMT3 (orange pad) & XMT1 (white pad) it appeared that the polish took longer to break down with the CCS pads than with the "classic" foam pads...

    Wash & Wax: BMW 650i

    After several weeks of deliberation, I pulled the trigger on Friday and traded my '05 C6 vert for an '07 BMW 650i vert. (Yes, it might not be a fast in a straight line, but everything else is pure "ultimate driving machine" !) Today, I did a quick wash & an "all in one wax": Wash: Pressure...

    Where to find the tip for an EZ Brush ?

    Folks .. I have an EZ Detail Auto Brush (The EZ Detail Brush is just what your vehicle needs to get totally clean right down to the tiniest details.) Somehow the little rubber "tip" of the brush seems to have been "eaten" by something (a wheel, brake backing plate, etc). Any thoughts on...

    Water Spots

    Maybe the water spotting has been here all the time, but with a black car, I seem to notice the water spots more (I've always owned white cars since moving to Atlanta). I was thinking of a "whole house" water conditioner ?? Or should I stick with something in-line to the hose ?? Any...

    I was giving the lexus a wash today and while doing the windows with NXT glass cleaner and a cobra waffle weave MF glass towel, they seem to have "scratched" the dash pad ?? The best way I can describe the marks are "scratched" or "discolored" ?? I tried to follow-up with some interior detailer...

    I purchased new Alloy wheels (Lexus has named them "telios" wheels) for one of my "girls". Now my question is how to polish and care for the wheels. I'm a fan of Meguiares hot wheels .. which seems to be working just fine to clean the road grime and brake dust. My question is about a polish &...
