    Ever noticed this with Opti-Seal?

    I will admit that I probably use a bit too much product when it comes to anything, but with Optiseal do any of you notice your car has spots when dew or condensation starts to form? The spots are either from where I first sprayed, or first put the pad down (can't figure which is causing the...

    If You Were Part of the Recent Foam Canon Group Buy...

    First, I'd like to thank usdm for hooking us up and shipping it out in a timely manner! I know it was probably more work than he anticipated especially if he had to assemble the units himself. You rock! :2thumbs: Now comes my problem. I got mine this afternoon and was so psyched to try...

    Need help on which backing plate for 4 inch pads

    I will need to make this decision within the next couple of hours before the AG deal ends, but can anyone offer some advice on a backing plate for the 4 inch pads? I've made up my mind that I do not want the one that comes in the kit: So my choice is between the Lake Country 3.5" DA...

    AutoGeek Free Shipping + 10% off Deal

    I normally receive email updates on sales and deals from AG, but I was never informed about this and found out by browsing/online window shopping on their site. Ending tomorrow on 7/31, AG has free shipping on orders over $95. There's no code needed so the usual 10% autopia code combines...

    If You Don't Have a Disc Doctor

    WARNING: Do this at your own risk! Last night I was watching a movie with a friend and about 2/3 of the way through, the disc quit working. Blockbuster was closed so there was no way we could go exchange for another copy and I didn't want to end the night without finishing the movie...

    Didn't want to get Opti-Seal...

    I talked myself out of buying Opti-Seal because I have more than enough product I need to use up, but after seeing that Autogeek discontinued their $19.99 sale price, and my cart was still showing the sale price, I decided to take advantage of the deal and order it. Low and behold, I get a...

    What size wrench for Makita 9227?

    Hey fellas, I'm hoping someone could answer me quickly since I'm going to head to the store to look for it, but does anyone know what size wrench fits the spindle thread base so I can securely tighten my backing plate? The largest I have in my tool box is 3/4" but it's a really snug fit and...

    Super Autobacs VIP Members

    For you SoCal folks who shops here or have been to the store before, I highly recommend signing up for their VIP club. I had gone to the store numerous times before and never even knew about this program up until some months back. I'm not sure exactly how the card works and what its benefits...

    If You Use Optimum No Rinse Wash by the gallon...

    I'm not sure if this is something that's already been brought up before, but I noticed that the instruction/package label on the gallon jug of ONR is for a 32 oz bottle. It's just covered up by another small white sticker stating it's actual size. Anyway, I didn't think about this at first...

    Beading Pics: Beta wax #25 vs 4 month old NXT vs Unprotected

    Test subject is a 2000 Grand Marquis in Tan/Gold. The car was clayed about 4 months ago and due to time constraints, only the hood and roof received protection (NXT Tech liquid x 2). Last week I applied the Perfecar beta wax #25 batch on the hood after a wash, so no proper prep was done. The...

    Question about hand-polishing

    When it comes to polishing with the PC, I always dread doing the front/rear bumpers. Do most of you machine polish this area or hand polish? If you're hand polishing, what sort of pad are you using to do the hand polishing?

    Product Line Question Regarding OP and PoliSeal

    I know that I will be needing Optimum Compound and I currently have PoliSeal on the way, so would you guys still recommend getting Optimum Polish or would that be redundant? I know OPS wasn't designed to replace OP, but can it be substituted and work just as great as a polish?

    If You Don't Know What To Get For Your Special Lady For Xmas...

    I had previously TiVo'd this show and just got to watching it last night. I was cracking up so hard from this skit with Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake. Normally the new SNL is nothing to brag about, but this skit is classic! YouTube - SNL - Digital Short - A Special Christmas Box...

    What happened to the Beta Wax thread?

    Is it just me or was this thread completely erased? I was looking forward to hearing other people's opinions about it. The email format he has going on at the moment I find it to be a bit annoying. I'd rather just read about it in a thread.

    My thoughts on Meguiar's

    Before discovering this forum, I didn't know much about all the detailing products and companies available besides the products you can find over the counter. So far I've pretty much stuck to mostly Meguiar's products. I think they have a really strong brand that most people, even...
