I was curious to find out what tips from AGO you all have found most helpful since joining the site.

I've always been into keeping my car clean. I also always thought I knew what I was doing. That is until I found AGO. I threw away most everything I had before and have spent a lot of money on my newly rediscovered hobby.

I was fortunate that when I bought my truck back in October, it was swirl free and thanks to Mike and everyone else on AGO, it's still swirl free.

There are quite a few things I've learned since joining AGO

  • Selecting, using and caring for MF towels
  • Using the two wash mitt system, one for the bottom of the truck and one for the top.
  • How to keep the paint maintained using the correct polishes and waxes.
  • Cleaning windows
  • Proper methods for defect removal

There are quite a few more, but you get the idea that I basically had to completely reset the way I maintained my cars finish.
 
The single best advice I learned from lurking and reading what various people said on one of radarryan's threads, using Menzerna Sf4500 with a crimson hydro tech 5.5" LC pad. The results are phenomenal!
 
Do a "test spot" and if you are happy with the results then continue on with the rest of the vehicle.

I am not sure if I heard from Mike here or from Mike at Meguiars first though. :props:

Regardless, it definatley is worth the time to do rather then waste a day polsihing an entire vehicle and being unhappy with the results and having to do it all over again!

Too numerous to count but here's one:

Use what you like and use it often!

How to spend on my car in ways I never thought I would. :)
 
not necessarily a tip, but using the search feature cuts down on several alike threads...
 
Learning how to properly detail a vehicle, I seriously learn something everyday on here just by reading and watching videos, I was blown away when I joined here to see how many detailers work was just amazing, and hope someday I can be as good:) and a lot of helpful members that are willing to give advise means a ton to me:)
 
One thing I've learned for the most part is that LESS IS MORE!
