I’m out of iron decon products and plan to seal my car tomorrow. Tonight I noticed several specs of rust (rail dust type specs). Last time I used the Dub wheel cleaner on my wheels I noticed it color-changed. I assume this is reducing the iron on the dirty wheels? If that’s the case, can I...

Hey guys. I've got a 2015 4runner. Classic silver color. And I just can NOT get this paint to pop. Not looking for longevity, but what's a good maintenance product (wax/detail spray) that will make this color pop a little more? I know it's a tough color, but I can't even make this paint look any...

Hey guys. I've got some mild water spotting on a vehicle. It's from a car that was washed but not dried a couple of days ago. Then it rained that night and dried the following morning. Pretty sure these spots aren't corrosive, but they're not wiping off with a detail spray and mf towel. If I...

Awhile back someone mentioned a product that did an amazing job restoring black plastic trim. I think the member used it on black plastic over fenders. It wasn't a trim product. It was just a "side effect" of the particular product that it also worked great on trim. Anone remember what what it...

Is there any reason to do two coats of the coating to ensure an even application? And if so, how much time between coats? I'm about to try it for the first time.

As the title suggests... Blackfire SiO2 Paint Sealant vs McKee's 10 minute paint sealant Has anyone tried both and can you compare/contrast? We know they're both a breeze to apply. How about the results? Gloss, slickness, color depth, streaking, self cleaning... Share your thoughts. Also...

Hey crew. I recently tried out the McKee's High Performance glass restorer and followed it up with Aquapel. The results blew me away. I took a road trip last week. The windshield was COVERED in bug splatter from 4 hours of night time driving. I mean totally covered. I forgot to wash the...

I'm trying the McKee's SiO2 enhanced paint coating for the first time ever. If I polish using HD Polish, can I follow up with the McKee's N-914 at panel wipe ratio and then apply the coating? Or is it critical that I use the McKees coating prep polish? Thanks for the advise.

hey guys. I have to winterize my grandparents place for the winter. We’ve always gravity drained the plumbing. But this year we have a new well and gravity drain isn’t possible. So I need to get a compressor. I have absolutely no idea what size/cfm to get. Can you help me out? I can still...

I’m a long time fan of DG601+ DG111. But I just noticed on the product page that it says 601 can be used with the sealant of your choice. Do any of you have experience applying 601 with any other sealants? http://www.autogeek.net/duragloss-polish-bonding-agent.html

I've had the ceriglass and carpro rayon pads for about a year now... I've since read horror stories about making glass worse with these products. Is there inherent risk if I'm not doing correction work but just want to give my windshield a "deep clean"?

Hey guys. I'm looking at getting a roll-up tonneau for my Toyota Tacoma. They have a Lund Genesis Elite on amazon for $260 plus a $50 rebate. Heck of a price. But I've also read lots of positive reviews for the Access Original Roll Up cover ($400). The Lund is a canvas type vinyl. The Access is...

I spent about an hour deep cleaning my windshield with Nu-glass yesterday. I usually do a very wet wipe down with IPA after Nu-glass and before applying the Aquapel . But this morning I went out to apply the Aquapel and totally forgot to do the IPA wipe down. Is is there anything residual in...

What a unique product-- I'm fascinated. The High Speed Wax goes on like a spray wax but dries like a traditional carnauba wax. This is a fun product, guys. Get some! I washed my truck (2BM) today and after drying I began to apply the Sonax HSW. What I initially thought was some streaking turned...

I'm curious to know how/how much you guys charge for single defect correction. Example: Say a gal came into the shop with a year old Honda Pilot with a 3" long scratch on the middle of the door. She wants it fixed or improved. She doesn't want any other work done. Do you just look at it and...

I see this adaptor in the AG store that will allow you to put a rotary backing plate on a DA polisher. Is this simply so one can use a rotary backing plate if they don't have a DA plate on hand?? Or is there another specific reason why one would want to do this?? I'm just curious. D.A Adapter...

I already have both LC and Griots 5" backing plates for my GG6. Will the hook and loop work sufficiently with Buff & Shine pads? Or do I need to get a B&S backing plate??

I'd like to get 6 dedicated 5.5" pads for quick random McKee's 360 AIO applications that I will do in the next few weeks. LC thin pro orange or white? LC CCS white or green? Griots BOSS yellow or orange? LC flats? What would you recommend I choose for the M37 360 on a variety of vehicles...

I've amassed quite a collection of high quality Korean (and AG Cobra) microfiber towels. All in the 360-480 gsm range. I'm now wondering if I would be better off going with a lesser gsm for compound/polish removal-- a shorter nap, "grabby" towel, as opposed to my softer, plusher towels. I've got...

I have a black perforated leather steering wheel (Toyota). Basically, it's full of little punched holes that are maybe 1-2mm diameter. It's just a styling thing. Can anyone advise-- if I use my Meguiar's Ultimate Leather Balm, will it fill up the holes and remain there like dried wax? I...
