Acronyms

[Reddwarf]

To avoid any acrimony over acronyms, I thought I would start a thread of some of the acronyms I have learned on this forum:

AG - Autogeek
AOI - Klasse All-In-One
EX-P - Poorboy's EX-P Pure Sealant
LSP - Last Step Product
MF - Micro Fiber towel
PB - Poorboy’s
PC - Porter Cable variable speed polisher
QD - Quick Detail
UPP - Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection
WG - Wolfgang product line
WW - Waffle Weave towel

Perhaps this will be of benefit to the other tyros like me. Maybe you seasoned pros out there can add to this list!

Thanks RedDwarf in the begging some of the Acronymys where confusing but for the new people to the site this will be very helpfull.

I did this a while ago. It would make a good sticky for members who aren't familiar with the acronyms.

Product Abbrevations



Heres a list of product abbrevations. This will work until someone compiles a list.

If we ask nicely maybe AG could make it a sticky. Then it will be readily available..

[abrcrombe]

Could we please make this thread a sticky? Thank you for considering it Mr. Killr and Miss Meghan.

[dengood1]

great list.....thanks guys. I hated even asking what the abbreviations were. I copied and saved it to a word doc file just in case it's needed in the future
