Hello AG'ers New and Old!! It's been awhile since I've been on AGO, let alone detailing iteself. It seems like this place is just as busy as usual. I hope everyone has been well and enjoying everything that has come their way. I've personally been extremely busy with a demanding FT job and just...

Hey all. Hope everyone is doing just fine. I've been busy with life so I haven't been detailing, posting or purchasing much lately but I do lurk regularly. Back in May I picked up my 2010 Ford Fusion and 11,000 miles later I am 100% satisfied with my purchase still. It's a great car and I...

Hey guys. We just had an Italian car show this past weekend in MA; Tutto Italiano. At the show were 3 of the Ferrari's that I take care of :rockon. I'm not sure if any placed for judging, but in my eyes they looked pretty darn good, but I am a tad biased. I'll start with the oldest (which...

Hey everyone. Hope everyone is doing well. Sorry I haven't been posting a lot lately, I've been very busy with things other than detailing -- including buying a new car :righton:. Anyways, I picked up a 2010 Ford Fusion Sport in Sport Blue Metallic. I am very pleased with this car so far (it's...

It is a fact that Autogeek carries some of the best detailing products on the market and have created a fantastic name for themselves. In the past if customers show interest in a certain product line, Autogeek seems to try their best to carry that line to better serve its customers. It is...

While browsing the new items on the Harbor Freight site I noticed that they now carry a LED work light, similar looking to a typical 500 watt halogen. It looks like a good idea, maybe save electricity, won't get as hot, don't have to replace bulbs, but does anyone think it'll be able to show...

Hello once again everyone. This summer was a very difficult summer for detailing with weird weather patterns where it basically rained every afternoon. I think 70% of the vehicles that I did, it rained within 12 hours after the detail. A big pain in the you know what. Also, working full time and...

Hey guys, I did this project a while ago but just got around to posting the pictures. I was looking for a 5" backing plate for the Makita to use with my 5.5" pads and it is the only size BP that I have for the UDM / PC which I don't for the rotary. Instead of buying another, I found a flexible...

Hey Everyone, This summer pretty much flew by, all without a lot of detailing on my side. Most of the summer the weather patterns made it incredibly difficult to complete a detail without rain. Hopefully this fall will be better. Anyways, I bought some of the new 4* UPP enhanced with...

The detail up for today was a relative's 2005 Lexus GX470. As many others around the country, we have been having some weird weather recently. There have been rain showers almost every day for the past week and today looked to be promising. Right when I got the SUV there was a light shower but...

Yesterday I worked on an immaculate 1988 Ferrari 328 GTB. Everything about the car was gorgeous which makes sense because there are less than 15,000 miles on the car. The previous owner never washed it with a hose, and the paint suffered some damage from that. However, the single stage paint...

I had the pleasure working on this 1974 Ferrari 365 Berlinetta Boxer V12 this past weekend. The vehicle was repainted in single stage Glasurit back 25 years ago and hasn’t been machined polished in 18 years. Upon inspection the paint was in better condition than most new cars today! There was...

Hey everyone. I spent this weekend cleaning up my girlfriends Corolla, which suffered quite a bit of damage from the rough and long winter which we had this year. The car is a 2005 with 45,000 miles on it and I have taken care of it almost its whole life. I have used a variety of products on it...

As many of you know, Wolfgang reformulated their swirl removers with help from Menzerna. I don’t have a whole lot of experience with Menzerna (PG, IP, FP, 106ff, 85u) but I have had better luck with some than others, especially with a PC or UDM. Meghan generously sent me some to sample out and I...

For those of you who have used 4 Star UPP (Ultimate Paint Protection) I'm sure you were "wowed" with its appearance and slickness. However, many have reported that the durability failed prematurely BUT adding poly-charger to it made this great product even better. Well, it seems like Four Star...

I’m not sure if anyone else is confused about diminishing abrasives, but here is my take on the subject. Let’s start off with and example- sand paper comes in different sizes of grits and a quality piece of sandpaper will always maintain that same grit throughout the entire process. Since the...

This is a topic that has confused me for quite some time now and it seems like everyone has a different opinion about it. I asked a similar question on a different forum and got mixed answers. I see a lot of uncertainty on this forum as well. So back to the main question, where do the looks of...

I was just wondering if anyone has gotten the chance to try out the new P21S 100% Carnauba Wax yet??? I haven't seen anything posted about it since it has been released. Winter is a tough time to try out new products but someone must have tried it by now. Thanks! :cheers:

Well it was a snowy day today in NH so I finally had some spare time to get to this write up done. It’s always good to go back to the basics every once and a while. I am a visual learner and figured that it would help others to associate a picture with words. This is a basic overview of some of...

I know that not too many people have had the Flex for a long time but there's a few questions that I've been thinking of. Since the flex is more powerful than the PC / UDM and is direct driven per se, how safe is it in reality? I've seen paint damage from a PC and it would make sense that it...
