I just wanted to acknowledge the wonderful service @ Griot's. One of my G6's failed. I sent it back in for replacement under the LT warranty. In the box I politely indicated that if my failed G6 could be replaced with a G9, I would be ever so appreciative, and if that wasn't possible - no...

Dear Forum Members, Today I did a friend's F350. It looks black in most pics, but is a Cherry Black of some sorts. (See pics attached). Anyway the truck was absolutely covered in etched water spots, as the vehicle was never detailed and had absolutely no signs of any LSP. It was also...

Dear Forum Members, What is your go to compound that you consider to have the most cut/bite? Also, how would you rate that compound in terms of its ability to finish? (e.g. do you typically have to polish down or have you stopped after using your favorite cutting compound?) Reason I ask: I...

Hello Forums Friends, Today I had the pleasure of bringing this red headed beauty back to life. The car overall was fairly "clean" - its owner takes it to a swirl tunnel weekly. However, it was heavily swirled out, and as such the paint looked very muted and lifeless. Some MB paint can be...

Dear Forum Members...today I did a friend's Traverse. I believe it's a 2017 and unfortunately is not garaged, but worse - it sits under a tree most of the day/night. It was covered in sap, tree mold and tree "worms" (those little things that look like worms - not sure what they are called)...

I noticed the PO5000C is no longer listed here at AG for sale. Is that a mistake or is it really no longer for sale, and if so why? thanks, ScottH

Dear Forum Members, I did a full correction on a neighbor’s car today. Unfortnauntely he came 2 hours late so the only pre-pic I took was a deep scratch that required wet sanding. Had less than 6 hours to knock this out before rain headed our way, so picture taking took a back seat to getting...

Dear Forum Members, Daylight is at a premium these days in the northeast so I didn’t take many before pics, as I needed to get right down to work on these. Products ranged from Megs to McKees to Wolfgang to Griots to Pinnacle to LC etc. ScottH

Dear forum members - is there a big difference in cutting ability between the ‘X’ extreme cut and the regular ‘C’ Meg MF cuttings pads? For those using the DMC - does it have decent cutting ability, and how does it compare cut wise to Griot’s MF pad? thanks all! ScottH

Dear forum members, Yestersay I did a 22 foot Sunesta that was very heavily oxidized. It is a 20 year old boat and I am not sure if/when it was last polished but it needed it. The gelcoat felt like sandpaper. I started washing down with bar keeper's friend on a wash mitt and then went behind...

Dear Fellow Forum Members, I'd like to say thank you to AG's Customer Service crew. I placed an order Sunday night during the 15% sale and needed the products by end of day Thursday. I am in NJ and under most scenarios the ground shipping gets it here in 4 days. However, I know that...

Dear forum members, I spent the better part of today doing a friend's 1951 Chevy deluxe coupe. The goal was to clean up this car and make it presentable for sale . I washed the car twice with McKees rinse wash and clayed the car with Griots clay. Next was wet sanding areas of heavy orange...

Hi fellow members, Yesterday I spent about 7 hours doing a friend's '57 Thunderbird. The I did this car once before - about a year ago, where the focus was on defect removal. This session was focused on bringing up a high shine . I used the following: - McKees rinseless wash - Griot's CC...

Dear Forum Members, My wife and I picked up a new 2018 Outback in Wilderness Green. We weren't sure about the color when shopping for it. But after we got home and polished it up, we love it!! Here it is after a rinseless wash (McKees 37), polish (Griot's Finishing Sealant/AIO) and McKee's...

They look pretty interesting. Looks like LC took 1/8" off the thickness of the 5.5" pads and tapered/beveled the edges. Looks like a ThinPro now (one of my favs) with the CCS face. Not sure when they were released, but I plan to pick some up. I liked the old CCS until I tried the LC...

Dear Forum Members, Each year I detail a vehicle for a family I have been friends with nearly me entire life. The parents are like second parents to me, and the daughter a good friend and former classmate. Good peeps to say the least. Well each year they take a nice vacation to a time share...

Dear Forum Members, Tonight I told myself - no detailing after work; go home, sit down and relax. But then I remembered...last week I received a new bottle of Mckees 37 Hi Def Paint Sealant and was itching to apply it to my Blue 2014 Audi A4. So with the wife away for the night on business...

Dear Forum Members, I took off a day to detail a friend's car. The weather was perfect in NJ and didn't feel like being in the office today, so off I went. This car's paint was by far in the worst condition of any I've ever done. The paint on the entire car looked as if a lion had gotten...
