    Moving on from Meguiars-what's next?

    Thanks! The trim on the 'stang is still black and in good shape so I'd probably skip the APC and just hit with a trim detailer product. Aside from washing, I haven't "cleaned" the trim in 10 years and it's still black and shiny. Wish I could keep the DD's trim like that, but they aren't...

    Moving on from Meguiars-what's next?

    I am aware I was using the "consumer grade" stuff. When I started out, I was at a turtle wax level of car care (cringe), so it was an upgrade to move to a consumer system from Meg's-but it worked well enough I never felt like I needed to move to the pro stuff. And I just never had the time to...

    Autogeek's Roadshow Class Schedule - 2016

    Yes! New York! Western or Central would be my vote. Probably wouldn't travel downstate, but Eastern Ohio or Western PA would also get my vote :D

    Moving on from Meguiars-what's next?

    When I bought my Mustang back in 2001, I scoured the web and various forums and whatnot to come up with a car care system (paint, interior, etc) I was happy with. It served me and the car well, leading to multiple 1st place awards including a gold at an MCA event. Some life stuff happened and...

    How do I fix this??

    I didn't apply the turtle wax but my understanding is it was applied evenly, it just either is streaky or absorbed that way. Trim Detailer is a Meg's product. Might be "gold class trim detailer"-it comes in a black bottle. I find it works better than the ultimate stuff which I tried for the...

    How do I fix this??

    This is black exterior trim, it has some turtle wax trim coating junk on it. It is all streaky and bad looking. Trim Detailer and Ultimate black did nothing for this. Does it need to be dyed/painted to fix it or is there something that can be done to save/fix this? It looks BAD in person.

    New silver DD, topping, laying question

    Sweet, thanks all! I was really not sure if the NXT was worth it, I'll save the $$ I was going to spend on that and use it towards other detailing stuff. Now the hard part-waiting (on weather good enough to do this in)!

    New silver DD, topping, laying question

    TY! I was planning to top the NXT with the Collinite. I've topped GC before with Collinite on a darker colored DD, since I think the GC really makes darker metallics shine but wanted more durability since it wasn't garage kept. I think it added a bit, using the GC, but I wasn't sure if the...

    New silver DD, topping, laying question

    Hello all! Not a detailing noob, but I haven't had a light colored DD in so long I don't have a "protocol" down for it! It's probably been at least 15 years. I don't usually go for light colored cars, I like depth in my paint. However, model and options won over color and hopefully by...
