Hi AG, Got my most recent AG order, in which I decided to try out the new RagCo ultra black sponge. I generally prefer to multiple towel method for rinseless washing, but have an older Big Red Sponge and use it every now and then when I don’t want to create a whole load of towels to wash. At...

Hi AG, I'm looking for a new one-step product (I'm a pure hobbyist). Obviously a ton of marketing behind Hybrid Solutions, but I was intrigued by the idea of a one step that can cut to different degrees so well using different pads. Seems like it would be a great thing to have as an occasional...

Anyone still using carnauba products? I have a bunch of carnauba products still on my shelf, and I was wondering whether anyone still uses these routinely as their primary protection (or maybe on top of a non-ceramic sealant)? Seems like all the hype is on ceramics and graphene (which I get...

After 13 months of waiting my 2020 Corvette arrived! Convertible, in shadow grey metallic paint. Paint was in nice shape coming from the dealer. So far all I did was a maintenance rinseless wash with my go-to Uber rinseless, and topped with a quick layer of Bead Maker to have some protection...

Hi everyone, Hobbyist detailer here. I have been trying to find a way to polish some of the smaller faces / panels / areas on my car using my DA polisher. I bought a DA to Rotary adapter so that I could use 2" pads on my DA (I seemed to find 2" backing plates only in rotary format). It seems to...

Hi everyone, Hope everyone on the west coast is staying safe from the fires. If you’re in a spot away from the fires, I’m curious whether folks are specifically avoiding working outside given the smoke / poor air quality? Any specific precautions anyone recommends taking if no indoor option...

Hi everyone, I don't use waterless washes very much, but I use them for my older car (67 Camaro) since, per Mike P's best practices, I try to avoid spraying the older car with a lot water so as to reduce the chance of any rusting. The car is garaged, covered and doesn't get very dirty. Even...

Hi everyone, I have some light swirls I'd like to periodically hide (say for a car show or something) in my ceramic coated car. Coating still has a lot of life left to it, so I don't want to polish it off. Anyone use glazes over coatings to hide swirls? Any reason not to? I suspect it may...

Hi AG, SO, I bought my 1967 Camaro already restored. From what I can tell it was somewhat of a budget restoration and not a full frameoff / no expense spared restoration. Regarding the paint: I think the paint itself looks quite good. Color is nice, deep, and very shiny. It was swirl-city...

Hello AG, I'd like to polish a few tight / small spots on my car that will be a bit hard to get to with my normal DA polisher. I have seen some attachments for using a handheld cordless drill as a polisher, and I was wondering whether that might do the trick without spending money on a whole...

Hi everyone, I tried out Wolfgang's SiO2 paint sealant today. Started with a rinseless wash with Uber, dried, then applied the sealant. Conditions weren't totally ideal since I was outdoors and it was a bit sunny. I was pretty happy with the product. Was very easy to apply and buff off. I've...

Hi everyone, AG having a big MF towel sale today. I have normally been using Rag Company Eagle Edgeless 500's, which aren't on sale. I have been reasonably happy with the RagCo, but have found them to lose their fluffiness faster than I anticipated. Any other brands on high pile edgeless...

Hi everyone, I have a bunch of split microfiber towels (such as Rag Co Eagle Edgeless). I’ve noticed a number of them seem to have become less fluffy and the texture has changed, but only on one side of the towel. Have 4-5 towels now where that seems to be the case; one side is super plush and...

Another compliment to the AG customer care team. The shipping room in my office building seemed to have lost my order when it arrived (they claimed to have given it back to UPS, who denied that). I called AutoGeek to explain, and they shipped me a whole new replacement order for free. I told...

Finally had some time to do a proper clean of the 1st gen Camaro today. Used McKee's N-914 as Rinseless Wash, and as a Waterless Wash on the wheels Chemical Guys VRP on the convertible top and the tires Some brands not on AG for cleaning the top, glass and a layer of ceramic liquid wax First...

Hi everyone, Have been looking for a rinseless/waterless wash solution that doesn't have any gloss enhancers in it, and N-914 was recommend. Bought a bottle, and diluted it for waterless wash per the direction at 1:128. Not to question the instructions, but at 1:128 is seems super watery and...

Hello gang, Other than Essence Plus, are these any other non abrasive polishes that are safe to use on ceramic coatings? I have some Essence Plus left and it seems to work alright, but wondering whether any better alternatives have emerged give how popular ceramic coatings seem to have become...

Hi gang, I'm thinking about getting my next car in black. I'll note I also don't have a garage, so this will be parked outside in my driveway, likely driven 3-4 days per week (and parked inside my office building most of those days during the day). From the perspective of other people out...

After about 5 years my SM Arnold Speedy Surface prep towel seems to be losing it's effectiveness. Pretty happy it's latest this long. Looking for a new clay mitt or towel. Haven't had any problems with the Speedy Surface one, but it's one of the pricier ones and a lot of new ones have come out...

Hi everyone, Have been experimenting with different "hybrid" wash methods (mixes of waterless/rinseless/traditional methods) recently and landed on one I was pretty happy with. Why try a new method you may ask? Well, partly I find it fun to experiment. But also drawback from traditional / 2bm...
