SYMAWD: I want to justify a foam gun, you may have done just that! Which one is best (in your experience) and which dry-safe wash do you recommend?

I started at 14... It's been great to me all throughout high school (17 now btw). Congrats on starting your own gig! The $30-40 hourly rate seems pretty common on this forum.. To me, if I can earn $20-25/hr, I am content. I recommend you charging similar rates, but please do what you are...

It will cut your work time and make your life easier... IMO, invest in a good one, otherwise it is useless. Expect to spend between $350-500. Good luck!

So to clarify, is there any possibility of a PC7424XP being useful on a boat detail? I have a boat scheduled two weeks from now and may have to buy a rotary... Thoughts?

I am interested to see what can be done about this... Traditionally, matte doesn't get buffed at all. BUMP

Hey AG, It's about that time, when I must order another six pack of 5.5" pads for my PC... I am coming off of six LC-CCS 5.5's, and to be honest, I'm not overly impressed. In comparison to Meguiar's, the foam structures seem to collapse quickly and under little to no pressure. SO, the question...

Good morning AG! It's been a while.. A friend of mine bought himself a 2011 Mercedes-Benz E350 in Obsidian Black. It is a gorgeous car, with the AMG-Style Wheels, Tan Leather, Etc... He asked me what the best way to avoid surface marring is. He will be having me do a treatment to the car, and...

I recently bought a black 2003 Hummer H2, and I LOVE IT! They are a great choice, impress clients as somewhat of a specialty vehicle, and the gas isn't as bad as it would seem... However, the Element does sound like a great choice with its versatility. Good luck!!

This is my problem! Didn't understand the use of it so discarded without thinking... Hopefully I have some sort of replacement available around here, otherwise I'll be making another order today. Thanks fellas!

I have been contemplating on buying a Flex 3401 for months... Trying to wait the winter out before doing so... High School Senior. Hummer H2. Est 2009!!

I gave my other one to a friend of mine, and the new one is now giving me the same problems... In the article recommended below, washers are mentioned... Let me double check that they are in place, as this could be my problem. High School Senior. Hummer H2. Est 2009!!

Hey Autogeek! Wondering if anyone else is having severe issues with their 7424XP? My spindle from the motor to the backing plate and counterweight had broke on my last one, so I ordered a new one and fixed the other. My new one=same issue. However, after being fixed, this one is extremely hard...

Is the gel better than the trigger-spray bottle? I ask because I've personally had bad luck with endurance... 16 Years Young, three years in business!!

Good morning autogeek! Today I am performing a full detail on a 2012 VW Passat TDI. The customer wants me to apply Simoniz System 5 to the paint for added winter protection. I was unsure about one thing... Being a synthetic teflon sealant, would Megs Cleaner Wax (Burgundy bottly) work as a...

Gorgeous truck! My father drives the Raptor regularly, as a gm of local ford dealership. IMO, the trim isn't very welcoming to protectants. It seems different, and may not even require any application. I'm speaking of the matte fender flares, and grille. 16 Years Young, three years in business!!

Also, be careful when working with black or dark colored paints. I don't recommend using aggressive clay, unless needed. I scratched up an Audi a4 pretty badly, and it took several more compounding passes to correct. I have had very good luck with Mild clay, as it is much stronger than the...

IMO, Turtle Wax is usually NOT the "go-to" in my cabinet. However, their Ice Synthetic Polish is able to hide paint imperfections such as minor scratches and front end pitting rather easily. I apply it to parts of my Mustang paint which have been effected by Connecticut winters, and the paint...

I give you props x1000 for trying this on a Shelby!! The risk was worth the reward. Great job!!
