    First attempt with BF One Step

    Hey Guys, just wanted to share my experience using BF One Step for the first time. The test vehicle was my dad's 01 F150 Supercrew. In the past my dad's idea of "car care" was a few trips a year to the local coin op car wash and a thorough scrubbing/scratching with the old nasty scrub brush...

    Dealing with Dust on "Garage Queen"

    Hey guys, I have a truck that sits for long periods of time (months) in a finished workshop without being driven and there is a lot of dust that accumulates on it. The truck is black and I'm basically having to wash it every time I want to drive it because it looks like crap with all the dust...

    Mold/mildew on leather seats, How to remove and prevent from happening again

    My dad has a 2018 F150 King Ranch that sits for long periods of time (in a pole barn, concrete floor, currently non-heated, but very dry) and it has what appears to be mold or mildew forming on the leather seats. It’s mostly on the back side of the seats and it looks like you powdered them...

    Officially hooked on waterless washing!!!

    I was getting the lawn mower ready for the season (removing snowblower) and noticed it had a lot of little water spots on it from all the melted snow dust when blowing. I am a huge fan of waterless washes on my truck, so I figured why not the lawnmower? lol I hit it with N914 and it came out...

    Polish Angel Escalate/Viking Coat combo

    Took advantage of the long holiday weekend and got some detailing done. I polished the truck first with PA Escalate and then followed that up with the Viking Coat. At the start I was having a terrible time with the Escalate. It did NOT play well with the Flex 3401. I tried both a white and...

    What do you think this is??

    I recently tried out McKees High Gloss detailing spray to remove some light dust from my truck and after wiping it off, I noticed these small white specs on the paint. I can't say for sure whether they were there prior to the detail spray but I don't think so. What do you think this is? To me...

    When to apply paint coating?

    I am considering trying a paint coating on my truck (not sure which one yet) and my biggest concern is how well coatings handle road salt and other ice melting chemicals used on the winter roads. Michigan tends to pour the salt on when the snow flakes start flying and I travel a lot of miles in...

    Clear coat failing??

    Hi guys, I was doing a paint correction on my dad's 2001 F150 and after compounding the first section of the hood I noticed a bunch of small slits/cracks in the paint. Most are just straight lines about 1/4" long and a few look like tiny spider webs. I tried to take some pics but it was...

    Waterless Wash Comparison/Review

    On my last order, I picked up some Meguiar's Waterless Wash and Wax Anywhere (Meg's) and a free sample of Blackfire Wet Diamond Waterless wash (BF). I have never used a waterless wash before, usually a quick detailer or a full wash, but I have wanted to try it since reading some of the reviews...

    Consumer version of Meg's D114?

    Ok guys, I would like to try waterless and rinse less washing my truck. It seems like Meg's D114 and D115 have good reviews everywhere I've read, so I would like to try them. Is there a "consumer" version of D114 like there is with D115 (Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere)? I would like to try...

    Mazda 6 meets HD Speed

    Hey guys, I picked up some HD Speed during the last free shipping sale and just wanted to share my experience with it. I used it on my sister's Mazda 6 and it worked really well. I don't have a lot of experience machine polishing paint, so my experience with different products is very limited...

    What hybrid pad with HD Speed?

    The title says it all. I picked up some HD speed during the free shipping event and was wondering what LC hybrid pad would be best to use with it on a Flex 3401? I'm planning to use it on my sister's 06 Mazda 6 tomorrow. The paint is in pretty good condition, but it has never been polished...

    Newbie showing the truck some love

    I thought I always took good care of my truck until I saw some of the vehicles of the members on here. I wash it regularly and try to wax it at least every 3 months and it always looked "good" to me. After seeing what others' cars look like and reading a lot on here, I decided to step it up a...

    Is it Flex and then everything else?

    After doing a lot of reading/researching on DA polishers, it seems like there is the Flex 3401 and then there is everything else. Is that an accurate statement? Is there anything that a traditional free rotating DA does better than the Flex? I don't have any experience with a DA polishing...

    New member from MI

    Hey, my name is Allan and I live in SW Michigan. I've been lurking here on and off for a couple years. It seems like everytime I google anything related to car care AG and AGO always come up in the results. Most of the time I got the answers I was looking for, so I figured it was time to...
