Please ask your questions on the forum, not in a private message...


Just a quick note and a kindly request...

Everyday I get private messages with great questions, the issue is there's only so much "typing time" in each day and just like when I was at Meguiar's, here at Autogeek, my job is to answer questions on the public forum, NOT in private messages.

Often, whatever a person's questions might be, there are others with the same or similar questions and by answering on the public forum more people can read the questions and the answers for years into the future. Plus, other stellar members of our forum can and will chime in with their knowledge and experience.

When typing out answers in private messages, only one set of eyeballs will ever see the answers. This isn't a good leverage of my daily typing time.

Besides working on the forum I have a lot of other job duties with varying priority. So if I don't see your post and you really want my input, use the Private Message option to share with me the link to your Public post.


Thanks for understanding and if I sent you the link to this thread in a reply to your private message to me, thank you ahead of time for taking your questions and posting them to the public forum. A good catch-all forum for just about any questions is the Detailing 101 forum group.

Auto Detailing 101



If it's about starting a detailing business then post it here,

How to make money detailing cars?



If you specifically want to bring your questions to my personal attention, then please post it to the below forum group and then send me a Private Message with the link to your thread and I'll get right on it.

Thank you for understanding... it's really the way a forum is supposed to work, that is questions are posted to the forum, not asked in a private message.

After your account is approved, please try to post questions to the public side of the forum.

The Moderators approve new accounts on the fly and usually in the mornings.

I know you can send Private Messages after joining but before having your account approved but I still have to try to keep my replies and typing time on the public side of the forum.


Thank you...

Two thumbs up because I really appreciate it when people take the time to send me their car detailing questions in an e-mail or private message.

Thank you, I do appreciate it...


Problem is, there's not enough typing time in each day to type for only two sets of eyeballs when this is what our discussion forum is for...



Thank you to everyone that has taken their questions from PM's and e-mails to the forum!
