    PBMG Customer Service

    Yes, this is not "downsizing", but a new business owner (capital venture group) doing business its own way after buying the assets of a company and keeping the business name of AutoGeek due to its established and recognized name with its detailing customers past, present, and future. Not sure if...

    PBMG Customer Service

    Great video with the aid of a drone in the link Setec response about the new facility/fulfillment center in Indiana. Interesting to see wash bays and a test-and-training area as well . Just wondering if Sonax is sharing this facility or is it just a "consolidation" of the two businesses now...

    Hello From Long Ago

    Setec: Thanks for this forum history information. While it may not be important to the newer users/members, it is to me because it tells of the ownership, its names, and the evolution and development of this forum as us older members remember what it was like and all the "troubles and turmoil"...

    "Solvent"-based Tire Dressings

    It's me, Lonnie AKA, Captain Obvious. The removal of the "s" from the word "forums' found in past link titles in old posts by myself is a monumental task, as I have many cut-and-paste links to past/previous thread posts within this forum for reference and/or historical information and/or just a...

I think of it as being "curious and informed")] Welcome to the Autopia forum. Just to clarify a technicality, it is not the paint per say that is hard, it is the...

    Pet accidents? Pet odors? Beta Testing

    I will attest to Poorboy's World Enzyme Stain and Odor Remover effectiveness, having used it personally on cleaning interior fabric floor mats, carpet fabric, and seat fabric material. Works as advertized , but the smell is eucalyptus-like. Not offensive, but pretty strong. I prefer a citrus...

    So THIS is the new Autopia Forum?

    Would it be nice for whomever "owns" this forum and it's new look and operating software to introduce it as such a long with some information on new features or what has been removed (or archived). Still, despite my whining (typical Captain Obvious!) it is nice to have this detailing forum back...

    "Solvent"-based Tire Dressings

    OK, Setec Astronomy, I wanted to know what the acronym (abbreviation, to some) PDMS stands for. It is the chemical formula for Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) OR: CH3[Si(CH3)2O]nSi(CH3)3 where "n" represents the number of repeating monomer units. What does it do? It is basically a lubricant and...

    Suggestions for a Garden Hose to use for Vehicle 2-Bucket Washing

    I did not know where else to "place" this topic thread, so it is in the "=?Everything Else" Category/Sub-Topic tab I am asking for suggestions and recommendations for a garden hose that you Autopians are using OR may have been researching for a replacement for your own use. I had to qualify my...

    Keeping Gas Tanks Full in Hot Weather to Prevent Fuel Pump Failure

    Because fuel pumps in modern cars are located INSIDE the fuel tank and are electric motor-driven, I was told that gasoline acts as the coolant for them in Hot Weather and it is best to keep your gas tank filled and never run it under a quarter tank in Hot weather, as this can expose the fuel...

    Adam`s Polishes Detailing Products at Walmart?

    Well, it seems Adam`s Polishes, ANOTHER higher-end detailing product company, is testing the consumer market waters at Walmart. I thought I was seeing things, but there they are. Not a lot of the product line; just a few detailing product items and less than the Chemical Guy`s product line that...

    What Constitutes or Defines Someone as a Professional Detailer?

    Edited note by Original Poster (OP): I had placed this thread topic in the Professional Detailer`s General Discussion sub-forum, but it got "buried" in its alphabetical listing rather than by date, nor did come up as a New Post, so I re-created this topic as a Post New Thread here in this...

    The Hypocrisy of Captain Obvious Trying to Keep This Forum Going

    No doubt you are well aware of my efforts with the exhortations for my fellow Autopians to buy their detailing products from the Autopian Store to provide them (Palm Beach Motoring Group and its affiliates) with the profits made from those sales to invest back into this forum to keep it up and...

    Review of Superior Products "Dark Fury" Wheel and Bug Cleaner

    My use of this particular product is an extension of the topic discussion on wheel cleaners. Reference: Concentrated Wheel Cleaners- What`s your preference? So rather than post my response about Dark Fury within that topic and have it get lost or buried, I decided to start this review. It is...
