    New black vehicle

    The K2xx came out in 2014. Anything before is differnt. The frame is a HSLA steel that is very light (for fuel economy) but at the same time stiff. This would be ok if the rest of truck was built correctly. Any one small issue gets magnified thru the frame and is felt thru your butt a d...

    Do I need to polish a brand new car before ceramic coat? Any specific coats for white cars?

    I just bought a new White BMW and before it even hit the road I Iron X, clayed it, then polished with Essence before 2 coats of Cquartz. BMW paint is usually pretty clean from factory, so I used some light clay and pulled almost nothing off the paint. But the Essence really made the car pop...

    New car paint issues

    I am in almost every OEM paint shop in North America, and you would be amazed on how many bodies get some type of repair. They all get some type of minor work done as inspected, some get sent to a special repair area offline, then others get sent to go thru paint booth again a second time...

    micro marring after polishing

    Have u tried using a compounding pad with M205 as your last step? Sometimes a polish/finish pad is too soft and will "dance".....as the top of pad and bottom of pad have different center point. Dense pad will hold centerline better.

    Best Buff Towel For Xquartz UK

    I did my M2 with CQClassic, so not UK but I assume same principal. I did a test spot on decklid with a stopwatch (smartphone). As soon as I started applying CQ, I started the timer.

    AG Shipping Fed EX

    I have made accounts with FedEx, and it doesn't matter. They do what they want to. Correct it's not AG's responsibility. But with FedEx being so dis-organized, it much easier for me to use a company that let's me choose my shipping source. There..... not AG's problem now.

    AG Shipping Fed EX

    Why should I go out of my way when there are other shippers that can do the job with no issues? Same as any job. If I make it hard on my customers they will go to supplier B.

    AG Shipping Fed EX

    I am not going to do that. The point of online ordering is the simplicity. So have to pick up the phone every time I place on online order kinda defeats the purpose. It's much easier for me to deal with someone who let's me choose my shipping method.
