    WOWA Sealant suggestions

    Looking to see if anyone has found a wowa sealant that can rival FK1000P in terms of performance. I use FK on the Audi as she's worth the effort. I've been using Opti Seal on the leased Civic and have been underwhelmed by the results. I'm sure it's not a fair comparison but difference in...

    New car delivery questions

    help me find $61 worth of supplies

    I just finished my first paid detailing work so now I'm entitled to place a stupid large order from Autogeek. It started off with stuff I needed and a few little things here and there. Then I realized I was close enough to the $500 mark that it'd be dumb of me not to go for it and get free...

    Waffle Weave not as absorbent after wash?

    I picked up two of these waffle weave drying towels Waffle Weave Towels from autogeek a few weeks back (BOGO deal). I was super impressed the first time I used them for an ONR wash. I took it straight out of the bag and used without washing. Didn't even need the second towel because the first...
