    Ford F250 and VW Jetta

    This was my first attempt at using my new Flex and Megs D151. The Ford is a 2001 F250 with 118,000 miles and is still in excellent shape to be that old. For some reason I always get into the detail and forget to take enough pictures but I did manage to get a few. Only got a few afters of the...

    2007 Acura MDX

    Had a new addition to the family with the birth of our son so we stepped up from the TL to the MDX. Spent so much time polishing that I forgot to take any before pictures! The car had lots of bad water spots and moderate swirling. Its a little over a year old and didn't look to have ever had...

    2500HD with new shoes!!

    This is a new Cooper AT that is made exclusively for Discount Tire Co. It's comparable to the Nitto Terra Grappler but is rated higher and a bit cheaper. So far they ride really good and not a lot of noise. I had 265/75/16 BFG's and wasn't impressed for the high price!

    DG #831 question

    Thanks guys! I'll have to try the steel wool because its oxidized pretty bad after I tried polishing a small area with aluminum polish.

    DG #831 question

    Just got in my order from AG with the DG 831. After a quick test on a diamond plate toolbox I really didn't see any results. Anybody had any luck with #831? All the DG products I've used so far have been great so I'm wondering if maybe the oxidation is just too bad. I'm just trying to avoid...

    Menzerna Power Gloss or Optimum Compound?

    Looking to get something a little stronger than Menz IP and Megs #83. Would the better option be the Menz PG or OC for the PC? Any advice appreciated!

    Cleaning diamond plate tool box

    Any recommendations on cleaning a diamond plate tool box? Local Carquest recommended DG #851 but after testing a small spot it looks like someone spilt milk on it and its very hazy. AG site says DG #831 is for diamond plate but the bottle at Carquest says not for highly polished aluminum...

    '04 2500 HD Duramax

    I polished with Meg #83 back in March when I first started with the PC. I then topped with a coat of Zaino. It's still holding up well, but it's about time for another coat!

    '04 2500 HD Duramax

    Just a quick cleanup on the 2500 HD. Being in the Landscaping business I don't have a lot of time for polishing this time of year. All that will be done in the off season. Just the weekly wash. No befores because it wasn't that bad. Interior: vacuum wipe down with Eagle One Nano protectant...

    Duragloss car wash

    Never tried DP. I've always loved to keep a "detailed" car, or so I thought! ;) That was until I started reading AG and realized that all I was doing was washing cars and not truly detailing! Now that I'm in head first, I guess I'll be trying everything so a gallon of DP will be next!

    Duragloss car wash

    I picked up a gallon of Duragloss car wash today. At $25 a gallon, is it really that much better? I've always used Blue Coral wash and wax at $5 a gallon. I havn't tried the DG yet but I am wondering is it worth the difference in price or does using the right polish and LSP mean more than the...

    Sunday afternoon details

    GM definately didn't design Hummers with the detailer in mind!! Foam gun is a lifesaver on the RV. I also have a 26' enclosed trailer and the foam gun is a must have! Believe it or not, the RV only took about an hour and a half! Thanks for the compliments!! :awesome:

    Sunday afternoon details

    Just a few Sunday afternoon quick details! The H3 got a wash via Foam gun and Zaino show carwash. After drying with back pack blower it got a quick pinnacle spray wax. The RV got a wash with degreaser via foam gun. It hasn't been detailed in almost 2 years so you can imagine! I then tested out...

    '07 Acura TL

    For my first posted detail I just want to show off my wife's graduation/new job present. She starts teaching 7th grade in August so she definately deserves something like this! It's a 2007 Acura TL NAVI! It had 8 miles on the clock when we pulled off the lot! It's new so no paint correction...
