Review: Autogeek Makes Detailing Easy

427 — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 20:40:18 GMT

(Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with this company... just a happy customer.)
I want to relate my very positive experiences in dealing with Autogeek for my car care supplies. I first learned of Autogeek on a different forum and was quickly impressed with their knowledge and willingness to assist members. Their tips/tricks were insightful, they often give people many options, yet never push their products too excessively (where it became obnoxious). But the most pleasant surprise was their customer care and satisfaction rating amongst forum members... it was simply outstanding! In addition, Autogeek seems to pride themselves on value too... besides their price match guaranty, there are awesome discount promotions throughout the year (especially if you sign up for their email club).

Before I took sick a few years ago, I had purchased a new car... and subsequently, many new detailing products from Autogeek. Unfortunately, my illness forced me to sell the car after 11-months... with only 142-miles on the odometer (somebody got a GREAT deal on that beauty). Over time, I've recovered... relapsed... and now I'm hopefully getting better again. When I recovered the first time, I bought another new car... and more/different detailing products (thatz another illness I'm sure others 'struggle' with too ).

A short while ago, I asked a friend to detail my black Mercedes CLS550. Typically, he uses extremely high end German waxes (some costing in the thousands of dollars for show cars only)... but I asked him if he would mind trying my BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond. When he returned my car that evening, he was happy as a kid on Christmas morning... neither one of us could believe the dripping wet, depth of shine. Furthermore, he raved about the ease of application. Needless to say, he kept the BF bottle and even claimed to soon be stripping his vehicle to further test out BLACKFIRE's 'whiplash' glow.

One other product that I've turned to because of Autogeek's recommendation is Finish Kare 425... an excellent quick detailer that helps to repel dust on black cars (anti-static qualities). Between cleaners, polish, wax, sealers, waterless wash, detail sprays, black trim restorer, tire gel, tools, accessories and more... I've always been extremely pleased with the prompt/courteous service and value conscience pricing from Autogeek.

Hope this helps some forum members,

Cleaning Plasti Dip Wheels

bigup — Mon, 27 May 2013 03:56:11 GMT

Before I rip this stuff off, anybody have any ideas on how to *easily* clean plasti dip wheels?

I like to keep my car clean, but it rains a lot here, meaning cleaning my car 2-4 times per week. However, as part of my basic cleaning routine, the plasti dip wheels always turn out horrible. I spray on some simple green, let it sit for a bit, then hose it off. It dries 'dirty'. Same with soap and water and any other method recommended in plasti dip land.

It always dries with a stained look - kind of like cheap black trim on cars of yesteryear. It comes clean if I spend hours meticulously wiping them by hand, but I just don't have time for that every wash; you have to be really careful with this stuff otherwise it just tears off.

Here is how great the wheels looked a few days after application, at a car show:

Now they just look crap, only a few weeks later. I'd like to keep it on, but only if maintenance is easy. I'll probably get new gloss black rims eventually, but not yet.
