Not sure how many of you know about autogeek.net, but I came across it a while back and thought my car and truck could use a little TLC so I bought a power polisher package and decided to try it out today. Below are the results! It's a 3 mile deep shine and no more swirls from automated car washes! Love it!

Any one ever use the water blade things to help dry your car? Looked at site never used one

I use one almost every time I dry a car; I clean about ten cars a week (for work). Use it and a towel. I love them.

So I'm guessing worth the 15 bucks for one ? I've never used one usually Air Dry my car on a drive . Black car doesn't work all that well lol I've tried those spray and dry wax and alot of them are terrible

Best way to dry i've found is a leaf blower. Hit all the trouble spots first and then start from the top and dry down.

It's a little pricey, but well worth it!

I buy everything from Autogeek...great products and prices. And an excellent forum as well. Sign up as a VIP member and gt 10% off. I also almost always use a leaf blower to dry...but if I must I have a blade and it works well.

Just remember, a polish or buffing compound is designed to cut into the clear. A wax does not. If you use a lot of polish it is not good for your cars clear coat. You have to be careful around corners. If your cars finish has dulled a little, a good polish or buff with some buffing compound can make it look good as new.

I was just looking for like a waxing type deal to help it keep water off better, so the shine'll keep longer without getting water spots from rain, and help the shine pop a little more if you know what i mean. You know what to use?

There are all kinds of different products and all kinds of different opinions lol. From mothers, to turtle wax. Find one you like. There may be some guys on here with their opinions of what's best. That would be an awesome new thread. Best wax on the market. Ill start it and we ill see.

Works for me lol.
Is there any type of cloth or whatever for the wheel that is better for wax?

I use a lint free polishing cloth to get everything off my rims. You can get them almost anywhere and they are reusable. I sure wouldn't wash them with my clothes but they work well. I tell you what I hate is tire foaming products that no matter how long you let it sit, still slings crap down my car. They make a gel that you can use, I've not tried it yet but guarantee that I will.

Zaino products, pricey but last a long time. Worth more than they charge imo.

Foam wheel. Cloth Baby diapers are hard to beat for hand use.

For those of you that live in So. Cal. there is a company called Mark V in Corona that sells commercial detailing supplies. They do retail sales on site and their stuff is amazing quality. I used to own a mobile detail business in So. Cal and we used Mark V exclusively. I've been considering becoming a distributor here in Colorado for them because I miss their products so much.

Mark V is Mother's commercial product line.
