A few weekends ago I had a chance to take the upcoming DGW 2.0 for a test drive and I must say this stuff is awesome. For those of you who loved the original version, this is a great improvement. Hard to imagine one could improve on the original version since it was already hard to beat, but...

Hey guys, not sure how many of you in California are aware of this, but today and tomorrow Friday, thousands of teachers in California will be receiving pink slips. I'm a former elementary school teacher myself and my wife is also a teacher. We also have many friends who are teachers. Tomorrow...

I haven't posted here in a while, but I just had to come and say that Lynn rocks! . Definitely one of the best CS around. Thanks Lynn!

So I finally got a chance to try this Mitt today and decided to write a little review based on my experience with it and comparing it to the claims found in the Lake Country (LC) and Autogeek (AG) web sites. I used Ultima Paint Guard Wash and a two bucket system with grit guard. First I rinsed...

Just wanted to share my experience with ADS and Rick. I called ADS on Friday to ask a few questions about some products I wanted to order and ended up leaving a message. Within a couple of hours Rick called me back. He was really helpful and professional and took his time answering my...

I've been using the Lowes GS by Proline to wash my car and it has worked great, no marring. I am curious about this new Lake Country Ulti-Mitt. Has anyone actually used it? More importantly, has anyone used it on ultra soft paint/cc? When comparing the GS and the red pad, the Lowes GS is...

This is my friend's 2000 Camaro. The paint was in really bad shape, oxidizing and with really deep swirls and scratches. The wing on this thing was really beat up. This car has been going through the car wash since 2000 and it has never been clayed, polished, or waxed. Given the extent of...

This is my friend's Camaro. The paint was in really bad shape, oxidizing and with really deep swirls and scratches. The wing on this thing was really beat up. This car has been going through the car wash since 2000 and it has never been clayed, polished, or waxed. This was a 1 1/2 days...

Just wondering who you guys are buying from and who are your favorite vendors. List your top 3 favorite vendors and why. I am not including Zaino in the poll because they only sell one product, Zaino and if you like Zaino, well we know you like that vendor. I know there are many other vendors...

This weekend I detailed my wife's 03 Highlander. The inside was probably worse than the outside: crayon stains, chocolate milk, strawberry ice cream, orange juice, etc, all sponsored by our 5 year old princess. Wife is pretty happy, so you know what that means, oh yeah, I got lucky tonight...

:help: Ok, so I tried to do my friend's car today, it is an 05 white Camry. I was really surprise to find that the cc was rock hard. I used the Flex at speed 6 with IP/orange pad combo and I barely made a dent on the swirls. I also tried SFX 1 and a white DAS Pad, and nothing. Man, what a...

I will be doing a friend's 02 Camaro. Does anybody know if the paint/cc on this car is soft, medium, or hard? I always start with the least aggressive combo, but I would like to have an idea.

Got my order from Ranney today: Pinnacle Souveran Paste, Pinnacle Signature Series II Paste, Pinnacle Crystal Mist, and two MF's. On top of the already awesome sale he had on all the items (Souveran for $71.96) he gave me an extra 10% off the total purchase price, and threw in for free not...

Compare these two stories. Autogeek has had an offer of a free gift worth $20 when you place an order over $75. Last week I placed an order and the total was just under $75. However, I forgot to add an item, so I ended up having to place a different order the same day. Together they both...

I love the P21s100%, makes the flakes pop like crazy. Looking to try a new wax, just for the fun. Which one would you guys recommend, 50/50 or Pete's 53? Durability is not a factor here. I am looking for a wax that will not mute flakes and that will produce a nice warm, wet, deep look. I...
