Of course I should have used my Bilt as I knew better, but I was a low input wash On my secondary cars, mild dust but clean panels with a local errand run less than 1/2 mile with some rain soaked roads... I decided to just do a HP soak with my car shampoo in the cannon (HyperWash) and let it dwell for a few and HP rinse. True no contact wash and a full on blow dry And of course a quick eyeball post blow dry. Visible road film+ some dirt spot on the lower skids unfazed by the HP water... Read more

We’re looking ahead to 2027 and deciding which detailing and car enthusiast events Autogeek should be part of. Who better to ask than the Autogeek community? If you could pick ONE can’t-miss event where you’d like to see Autogeek in 2027, what would it be? Corvettes at Carlisle? Jeep Beach? NSRA Street Rod Nationals? Barrett-Jackson? A huge Cars & Coffee? Or maybe there’s a great detailing or regional enthusiast event we don’t even have on our radar. We want to know: Where... Read more

I've been seeing ads for this on Instagram. Never heard of the brand. Of course all the videos look really good. Has anyone heard of them or actually have one? I bought one of Griots electric foamers a few years ago and it's not bad. Just wondering if the Neburia might be better.

The Rag Company Ultra H2O Foam Cannon Disclaimer – This isn’t a sponsored review, I purchased this foam cannon at full retail with my own money. From the moment it was unveiled at SEMA at the end of 2025, TRC's Ultra H2O range caught my attention. The lineup covers a short gun, a 21-inch wand, a foam cannon, and rubber-shrouded nozzles — finally, someone was putting some thought into pressure washer accessories beyond colour, trim and flashy packaging. It's worth noting... Read more

Recently. I bought a 2024 BMW from large BMW dealership in Atlanta. The car was a recent trade-in and hadn't been "cleaned up to put out front" yet. The original owner kept it clean - probably ran it through a tunnel on the way to trade it in - so it was easy to inspect before I bought it. As we finalized the deal - before that 45 min. pause as the finance guy gets all the paperwork together - I told the sales guy that I didn't want the car cleaned/washed; that I wanted to do it myself. I... Read more

Can't find much info on these pads but distributed only via Amazon as a recent 2026 Lake Country addition to their polishing pads. They're in 3" , 5" , 6" sizes and most are half-off right now. Not sure if it's an effort to gain traction or clear them out. It seems like a pretty good deal at $5-$8 a pad. Anyone have any experience? EDIT: maybe I've answered myself Because this specific lineup consists... Read more
