I'm on the hunt for a new laptop. I want a windows based machine to be able to run HPtuners. Budget is 2k, I'd be using it to organize and play my music (about 150+ gb worth) typical internet surfing, and video editing. Also, anybody know of a good video editing software that automatically...

I have a Flex 3401 (which I like very much) but have been wanting to get my hands on a Rupes LHR21 MarkII. I've read and heard a lot of great things about that machine. I also would like to try a rotary polisher and have been looking at either the Makita 9227C or the Flex PE14. I was dead set on...

When I was deciding what topper I wanted to use on my car after I put Gloss Coat on it, I was considering Opti-seal, reload, and then came across Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer. Even though Sonax BSD is technically "just" a detail spray, from many of the reviews I have read, most say it should...

I finally put a coating on my car. I spent whatever free time I had during the week polishing and prepping for the coating, which came in yesterday. Today I took half a day from work to coat the car. Went over everything again with the paint prep spray and proceeded to coat the car. I put the...

I'm gonna apply DLUX to my plastic trim tomorrow. I know the trim has to be completely clean before application. My only question is, I used Carpro silica spray back in July on the trim to seal it, and noticed water still beads up relentlessly on the trim with that product. Is that going to make...

I have Optimum Gloss Coat on it's way to me and I want to coat my car 100% properly. I know prep is the most important part of a coating. My car currently has Collinite 845 on it, which I would have to remove. The paint doesn't have many defects aside from extremely light surface scratches and...

I'm thinking about going with a coating, but want more information than I can find through a search before I choose which one I go with. I've used Cquartz UK before and while I do like it's appearance and slight resistance to wash induced marring, I'm not particularly impressed with it's...

Does anybody have any experience with the paint on a Phantom Black Metallic Chevrolet SS? Is it as evil as I'm thinking it is? I spent 14 hours 2 weeks ago polishing my car with Menzerna SF3500 and got the paint perfect. I used an IPA AND Carpro eraser after using the polish so I saw the naked...

I'm looking into getting some HD Speed AIO to do my family and friends cars that don't need a multi-step paint correction. I know this stuff removes light imperfections and protects all in one step. I'm just wondering, how good is the protection it leaves behind? How long does it last? And if I...

I've detailed multiple cars. My own, my friends, family etc, and everything usually comes out very good. My one biggest problem is the amount of time it takes. I don't understand what I am doing wrong to make the process take as ridiculously long as it does. Today I did mostly a single step...

Just looking for a little advice. I enjoy washing, polishing, and waxing my car and don't mind the maintenance at all so the low maintenance of ceramic coating isn't really what appeals to me about a ceramic coating. The biggest thing that appeals to me with ceramic coatings, such as Cquartz...

I haven't done a complete paint correction and polish on my car yet (2016 Chevrolet SS) and plan on doing it sometime in September when the heat breaks a little bit. I was dead set on a ceramic coating, but am starting to second guess myself. The biggest reason I wanted a Ceramic coating was for...

Hello all. I have 2 quick car drying questions. My first question is, can you use a car drying aid with a ceramic coating such as Cquartz and if so, what drying aid is recommended? Second is, what blower do you guys recommend for drying the car? The Mckees piece looks nice and at $180 bucks, is...

When I was on Carpro's website, I noticed they only sell Cquartz UK and Cquartz TiO2, which left me scratching my head because I could of sworn there was regular Cquartz that wasn't UK or TiO2. Then I noticed here on Autogeek, that they are selling a regular Cquartz in the 30ml bottle. Has that...

I'm sorry if this was covered already. I recently detailed a car and corrected the paint using M105 and M205. M205 is a pleasure to work with, but the M105 was giving me a hell of a time. I don't know if I was doing something wrong, but I feel like I remember reading somewhere of someone else...
