    Not thrilled with DG#251

    Finally Applied DG251 to the GCV tires.. Definitely ready to purchase some Perl. I cleaned the tires last week and got rained out, so I cleaned them again using Eagle1 All Wheel/Tire Cleaner and my Quickie long-handle nylon brush (yellow bristles) and air dried w/ a MF for any pooled or...

    Opti Seal vs rain

    Hey all, I ordered a bottle of Opti Seal (and the rubber pet hair brush) from AG in the final moments of their Free Shipping- No minimum! sale. I decided to try this to maximize the extremely limited time I can spend detailing. The weather being as notoriously shifty as it is, what kind of...

    Weird ant problem, South FL

    Hey southern Autopians. I'm having a problem with ants in my Dodge GCV. There's no food in the vehicle (had a brief problem with roaches getting to the kids' snack crumbs and hiding in dvd cases, so all that behavior was nixed quickly) nor has there been for weeks. The last few days I've noticed...

    D101 cleaning vomit

    One of my little ones had an episode of projectile vomiting in his sleep, making a mess of things. It was on the walls, in the books and grooves of his bunk bed, and all over the bed set. My wife washed his comforter twice and couldn't get all the crud out. Instead of buying Shout or...

    +1, -1 for Griots Microfiber Wheel Wands

    Recently purchased the above mentioned GG MF WW (woo acronyms). I liked the 12" wand, it reached the anterior edges of the barrels and scrubbed (15 months of brake dust and road grime) with ease. Did not like the 8" wand. The brush head did not fit between the caliper and barrel, not even...

    KSG for trade

    Have 16.9oz KSG with 99% left. Used it once on door sills and pillars. Would like to trade for a spray-on sealant like hydro-2 or BF crystal seal but also open to other brands of sealant. PB EX-P would be nice. Also still have 99% full CG Extreme Leather Cleaner if anyone wants it. At this...

    Creating a mid-level cut

    Hey everyone, I've run into a bit of a pickle; not a bad one, just inconvenient. I have low cut polishes and I have aggressive compounds, but nothing in between. I have SF4500 and D301, then I have D300 and UC. According to the Autopia Polish Chart, they are on polar opposite sides. It's time...

    How do you get ahead of the game?

    I decided to beat the grime with my new econobox and seal the.. Whatever you call this part of the body. Note, this was my second time using KHGSG and first time using on such a small area. I had almost no difficulty removing the haze. I had to use a little QD for the spots where the pad first...

    So here is the plan

    My '14 Bright White GCV is approaching its second oil change (just over 10k) so I figure I will take the time after to do a solid once-over. I have not polished it yet, I regularly used KAIO + 845 until my ankle reconstruction from whence I have fallen off the detailing wagon (we also bought a...

    Waxing/sealing over Meg's MF Correction Finishing Wax?

    Can I apply 845 or KSG directly over the Finishing Wax that comes with the Meg's MF Correction System? If not, I will order a bottle of CarPro Reflect. :autopia:

    Definitive answer for the Foam Gun

    Hey all, this will be kind of windy. I just ordered the Foamaster Half gallon gun from the AF store with the intentions of also ordering a gallon of CG citrus daily from Amazon (28 bucks and free shipping). However, my wife intercepted me between orders and asked me not to order anything else...

    Idea- a thread like "swap meet" or "trading post", but for AF members that own detail businesses

    I am about to go under the knife (tomorrow morning actually) and I will be laid up for at least three weeks in a cast/crutches followed by several weeks of physical therapy (and then full time attendance at University). I was not able to make my deadline of today to get everything done (decon...

    Plasti dip or use ultimate black?

    The mudflaps on my 03 Accord are tired, faded and have old wax residue along the edges. They all look like this. I'm considering deep cleaning and plasti dipping them for the long term durability of plasti dip, but I'm still on fence because I like the look of Meg's ultimate black on the...

    Whoops. Fine sand on foam pads

    I made a boo boo this evening. while doing my final put-up of products for the night, I realized that I somehow managed to get ultra fine grains of sand on one of my grey ccs pads (I seem to have placed the da bag too close to a bag of sand in the garage). The shiny grains are only visible under...

    Using a MF bonnet?

    Hey everyone, I was approached by my neighbor to do a paint correction job on his turbo 91 fastback. Since he has had it, it is a trailer/garage queen, but he is the umpteenth owner, and the body has been repainted an unknown number of times. There is severe oxidation on the rear bumper and...

    Iron X spray vs Paste

    Quite frankly, I don't see the appeal of the Paste (from the product photos it looks like a clear liquid instead of a high viscosity paste). Is the paste worked in with a brush when applied to a wheel? How (if at all) is this better than using the spray? I'm stumped
