Gotcha!

It could be, I didn't really look at the instructions to be honest lol! Either way, I agree with what you said, but considering that it was less diluted rather than more diluted, I think the results can still be applied

Great video, great series!

loved the bonus clip at the end

[rock012345]

don't know if you have it but how about a "AG APC Battle"?

I would love to see Blackfire APC vs Pinnacle APC vs DP Exterior Cleanse vs OPC (not AG) vs Megs APC+ (not AG)

Thank you very much Michael! (do you prefer mike btw?) Or am I totally wrong with your name b/c that would be embarrassing. I remember trading with you and I *think* I remember Michael lol. Or if you would rather me just use rock, that's cool too

I would love to do that, unfortunately I would either need samples from AG or from AGO members.

I have Blackfire APC and OPC (obviously lol).

I don't have the other three.

I just so happen to have bought a whole gallon of OPC recently , so I don't think I would want to buy some more APCs until I at least use some more OPC lol

whichever is fine. Btw while looking at your youtube, I found a "mango martini" video, looks delish! I enjoyed that video too, as well as the lambo doors vid, maybe its your presentation but overall very entertaining/enjoyable

Very nice video. I look forward to seeing more of your Thrifty vs. Fifty video series.

Thanks!

I don't know what happened to the audio with the Lambo doors video... But it has gotten a lot of views so I guess people still watched it lol

And please try the mango martini and let me know what you think! I'm actually going to make a video on a slight variation... Guava mango martini! I really can't decide which one i like more

Thanks Dave! Means a lot coming from you

Any chance you could make a video of your painting process I know I could really use that!

I'm going to try LATA straight against OPC at 1:3. I'll update this thread with my results

[ihaveacamaro]

LA's Totally Awesome straight from the bottle matched OPC 3:1 and also Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner straight... just food for thought

[ihaveacamaro]

so Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner is now being sold in AG. Thought I would bump this video for anyone interested in a comparison video (just watch the vid in first post )
