Happy Monday! My wife has an elderly disabled friend who`s car needs a little attention. Apparently the exterior is to the point our mutual friend, and local mechanic, told her it "really needs a wash..." When my wife told me about this I happily volunteered. I have all the cleaning supplies...

As i sit at home watching the snow fall, I`m doing a little shopping and dreaming of the day when warm weather returns and I`ll start detailing again. This brought me to a question about polishing pads. For years now I`ve used LC Flat and Thin Pro pads on my trusty HF DA polisher. A new G15...

A few months ago, I was provided a bottle of Wolfgang SiO2 Paint Sealant to try out. My first experience using it on my neighbors Porsche Cayenne was very positive. The only problem was I don`t see the vehicle all that often and I don`t maintain it. This makes it really hard to learn much about...

A new set of tires were mounted to my car this weekend. The tire shop did a good job of not damaging my wheels, but a side effect is the lubricating goo is everywhere. A quick wash with a wheel cleaner got all the grease off my wheels nicely, but the tires are another story. I scrubbed them...

I`ve always had a thing for blue vehicles but I`ve never managed to own one due to the right combination of performance options and color never quite works out in my favor. For now I get to admire my neighbor`s Loire Blue Jaguar F-Pace every time it drives by. The F-Pace is easily one of the...

Not long ago, my neighbor brought home a beautiful, black, 2017 Porsche Cayenne S. While admiring this beautiful vehicle and hearing the story of how it ended up in his driveway, the conversation turned to how he could keep it looking good. A few minutes later we agreed on a full exterior...

I recently had got a chance to try out Wolfgang`s new SiO2 Paint Sealant thanks to the good folks at AG. My neighbor`s 2017 Porsche Cayenne S is a fantastic canvas to show off this new sealant. For years I’ve listened to people rave about an older product from this brand Wolfgang`s Deep Gloss...

I recently got the chance to test out the compound and polish from the newly revived DP Detailing Products line thanks to the folks at AG. Very hard, black, metallic paint on a 2017 Porsche Cayenne S is the perfect opportunity to test polishing liquids to their limits. High temperatures and...

I was recently given a bottle of DP Hydro Wet Seal by our generous hosts here at AG to try out review. Originally it was supposed to be part of a larger project 2-car project. However, the first vehicle in that effort unexpectedly got it`s wheels powder coated just before I worked on it and a...

While talking to the folks here at Autogeek about products to review, they mentioned Pinnacle Black Label Waterless Wash and Protect as one I just had to try. In fact, they raved for quite a while about this product and how much they liked it. Based on their enthusiasm, I decided to try it out...

I`m in the midst of doing a job for my neighbor and finding I may not have been as well equipped for the work as I thought. First lesson: I may need to learn how to use MF cutting pads. My orange LC pads aren`t cutting it, but that`s a different story for another time.... The real discussion...

Anyone here have any experience with powder coated wheels? My neighbor has asked me to do a top-to-bottom detail of his new vehicle. AFTER agreeing, he gets his wheels powder coated... This has led me to a few questions: - Does powder coating need time to cure like a fresh vehicle paint job...

Has anyone experienced issues in removing/buffing off Carpro Elixr. I`ve not had much experience with the product, but after two separate uses this winter I`ve noticed it really smears and is very hard to remove. This weekend was unseasonably warm and sunny, so I took advantage of the time to...

Duplicate of review posted below, PoorBoy’s World Non-Acid Wheel Cleaner.

Have you all seen these? As far as I know, they are only available from CarPro`s online store. I stumbled across them while buying some sample sized products (huge kudos to Carpro for doing samples) and thought I couldn`t go wrong for $5. I found them to be really handy when coating wheels...

This summer I traded in my trusty GTI on a 2016 435 M Sport. The car was in perfect mechanical shape, clear mechanical history, and low mileage. However, the paint was pretty rough. Either the dealership or the previous owner hadn`t been kind. So the weekend after I brought it home I spent...

Is there such a thing as a quick leather cleaner or possibly a quality leather cleaner which comes in wipes? I`m now driving a BMW with the M Sport steering wheel and a leather shift nob. The leather on these surfaces is much softer than my previous VW and tends to attract and hold on to...

Normally I`m one of those apply-it-and-forget-it types when it comes to my vehicles which all wear coatings right now. I`ll keep them clean and typically just wipe them down with Ech2O after a wash simply to get rid of any water spots. The coatings always provide plenty of gloss on their own...

Over the years I`ve steadily improved my skills in detailing in all but one area: the inside of the windshield. I`ve got a good product and towels to clean the glass, but my work flow normally ends up like this: 1) Clean the the inside of the windshield. Inspect in the current lighting...

The CanCoat I applied late last summer on my wife`s Highlander was starting to wear out, so it was time to apply another coating. This time around I used CQuartz UK 3.0 and I thought I`d share my thoughts on applying the product some things I learned during the process. Last year, I applied...
