Hello all, I want to take advantage of boxing day sales and I think it's about time I upgrade my polisher. I currently have a griots 6" polisher with a 5" backing plate that I don't particularly like too much. I don't have experience with other polishers but this one vibrates too much and also...

Hi everyone, I have a VW with hard paint and some heavy swirls. The only compound I currently own is Meguiars UC and its just taking too long to knock the swirls down. I only have six orange pads and six white pads. I'm not ready to invest in microfiber pads for cutting, maybe down the road. But...

Hey guys, I wash my car weekly and the routine goes like this. Rinse car down Wash wheels Two bucket wash paint Rinse down and dry off with wet mf towel Mother's spray wax on paint. Now I'm wondering if I can eliminate the last step and use a wash n wax shampoo. Any suggestions? Sent from my...

Ok so I did my yearly wash, clay, polish and wax yesterday. Car came out beautiful again. However, this time I had to buff the wax off in my garage (ULW) with little light to see. I thought I got all of it off but this morning after driving to work I noticed some spots I missed lol. So the car...

Hi guys, I find about each week I wash my car I need to dress my tires again. It's a water based tire dressing as the other stuff is just too oily and annoying to work with. Is there any permanent solution to having my tires look deep black and brand new all the time? Sent from my Nexus 5 using...

Hey guys, I've seen plenty of reviews on iron-x but not so much on Sonax fallout cleaner. Have any of you had first hand experience with this product? Also, if you use sonax or iron-x how much does it take to spray down a vw golf? Also, any procedure involved? Sent from my Nexus 5 using...

I have some anti seize applied to the threads of my coilover perches when I first put them in. After cleaning the wheel well today I noticed they are caked in dirt/road debris. A wire brush is taking most of the gunk off but is there any solvent that would dissolve all the anti seize like brake...

I know this has been asked many times but someone mentioned UV protective properties in carnuaba based wax vs sealant like ULW. Should I finish off my headlight with say megs gold class carnuaba wax or ULW? I haven't heard anything too great about the headlight protectant from megs. Sent from...

Hey guys, I'm noticing people like to scratch the heck out of their instrument cluster somehow?? Is the only way to polish it by taking it out? Or just reaching through the steering wheel and putting in some elbow grease? Has anyone tried this? Thanks Sent from my Nexus 5 using Autogeekonline...

Is it the same procedure for headlights? Is there anything different I should be aware of? Also, is it okay for me to use a pad on the plastic tail light, wash it, then use it back on the paint or that's a "no no"? Thanks Sent from my Nexus 5 using Autogeekonline mobile app

Hi guys, I'd like to hear your thoughts on which you prefer of the above and why. Also what you do or don't like about pressure washers or regular garden sprayers to wash your vehicles. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Autogeekonline mobile app

Hey guys, I do a lot of car work. Taking off wheels, bolts, engine stuff etc. My drills are getting pretty dirty from grease and dirt. What should I use to clean them? Obviously i can't use water as it will damage the internals. I'm thinking maybe simple green, varsol (smelly) or brake clean...

Hey guys, just got a new (used) set of machine wheels for my car. Google (rotiform nue) I'm wondering how I should go about cleaning them and polishing them if need be....I'm not sure if you're even supposed to polish these. Let me know as I've only worked on clear coated wheels. Sent from my...

Hey guys, winter is here and temps are at freezing. Obviously I can no longer wash my cars as the water will just freeze within seconds of being on the car. I haven't tried waterless rinse, is it effective at removing dirty cars from snow and such? Or should I stick to the traditional touchless...

Hi guys, yesterday I coated the underbody of my car with rust check in preparation of the upcoming winter. What I didn't realize was that the car is now entirely covered in a fine mist of oil overspray from the cans. If I take it to a touchless car wash will that remove most of the oil spray or...

Hey guys, just curious for a simple wash, spray wax and wash the wheels too, how long does it take you guys on average to complete? It's takes me about 45mins including getting the hose out and rinsing the buckets afterwards. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Autogeekonline mobile app

Hi guys, my windshield is in rough shape. So many scratches and no matter how many coats of wax I put on it (I've done 3) the scratches and nicks from stones blind me when the sun is shining directly on the glass. Is there any worthwhile product to perhaps "polish" the scratches out? Or maybe a...

Hey guys, going to do a wax job tomorrow on my daily. Can I use a degreaser to strip the old wax off the paint? Also, I did a quick baggie test and the paint is still smooth as silk after 6 months of the last clay job. Is it necessary to clay? Thanks

Hi Guys, I have a car here that is lowered. The wheels poke past the fender a bit and there is tire debris glued/stuck on the edge of the fender (the actual painted part, not the plastic liner). It doesn't exactly come off with a mf towel. Any ideas?

Hi guys, I know it's a little early, but winter will be here soon. Obviously the nylon bristle snow brushes will most definitely marr the paint on my car. They do sell foam brushes but I'm not sure if that will marr the paint either. What have you guys used in the past to brush off the snow from...
