It looks like there is a redirect that happens when you login, and that takes some time (we are talking seconds here). Then it just has a little bit of wait pulling up the page after that.

In this high tech world of click and instant go, 15 seconds feels like an eternity!
Like I said, don't really matter if it ever gets fixed, but it would be nice just to login and instantly be able to see your wishlist, etc. Opening the wishlist itself seems to have gotten faster for me (don't know if anything changed or not), so that's cool.

If you never say anything, people can't know what you're thinking.

Edit: Also just noticed (guess I never payed attention before) that when you add an item from your wishlist to your shopping cart, then click "Continue Shopping" it takes you back to the screen you logged in at, and Loga you out. So if you want to add another item from your wishlist, you have to log back in (and wait) and go to your wishlist, add the item, and repeat the process.
Very slow process when you are adding several items from your wishlist.

I'm 19 and from Chicago. Decided to get into detailing because I just got a 2010 Acura TSX a couple months back and its black. Like someone here on the forum said, "Black isn't a color, it's a part time job." Weather in Chicago is not the best and I don't have a garage sadly. Here are some crappy iPhone pictures. Haven't gotten a chance to take some nice ones. :xyxthumbs:

It looks appealing to me as a way to protect the trim, but it would be ideal if it improved the appearance of plastic in addition to protecting it. ]]> Auto Detailing 101 christian900se http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/23405-opti-seal-plastic-trim.html http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/off-topic/23404-auto-geek-theme-song.html Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:21:13 GMT OK, so I think we all agree that Auto Geek is pretty much the coolest place there is, right? I originally posted this little ditty of mine in this thread, and I am reposting it here. Still trying to come up with new verses, so if one comes to your mind, please feel free to post it in this thread. Who knows, maybe this can become like the Auto Geek anthem or something like that?

To the tune of Popeye:

Oh I am an Auto Geek!
Yes I am an Auto Geek!
I never gets bored-um
Whilst reading the forum
'Cause I am an Auto Geek!

Next verse:

Oh we all are Auto Geeks!
Yes we all are Auto Geeks!
Those BOGO's we're chasing
While our orders we're placing
'Cause we all are Auto Geeks!

Next verse:

Oh we all are Auto Geeks!
Yes we all are Auto Geeks!
Sir Max is our king
Fuzion's wonders we'll sing
'Cause we all are Auto Geeks! Boop boop!

Let's have a little fun with this one! ]]> Off-Topic CieraSL http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/off-topic/23404-auto-geek-theme-song.html http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/23403-sully-s-detailing-sl-550-a.html Tue, 09 Feb 2010 04:25:11 GMT This is a new client that my GF got me lol.

I'm on my 3rd 6.5" pad and 5th 4" inch pad and all of em have some slight wear and tear from the first or second uses, velcro tearing off to the point where I can't use em. I'm using it on a PC and Flex.

Any idea how I can fix this or warranty or etc etc? I probably need to switch to a different alternative. ]]> Customer Comments anson89 http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/customer-comments/23401-very-unhappy-lc-hydro-tech-pads.html http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/23400-need-help-glass-polishing.html Tue, 09 Feb 2010 03:48:21 GMT I am trying to remove some scratches from the front windshield of my '06 Acura TSX. They were caused by old wiper blades or dirt imbedded in the blades, not sure which one as I did not own the car when this happened. There are fine scratches all along the path of the wipers that you can feel slightly with your fingernail and can see in the reflection of a light source.

I have tried to remove the scratches using the only product I have for this, Griots Fine Glass Polish, with no luck. I used a CSS orange pad on the new Griots DA polisher on setting 5 for quite a while. I do not think it even deminished the appearance of them.

Does anyone know of a way to remove the scratches? And if that is not an option, does anyone know of a product to hide them, like a glaze for glass? ]]> Auto Detailing 101 Rye http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/23400-need-help-glass-polishing.html http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/off-topic/23399-picked-up-new-trailer-today.html Tue, 09 Feb 2010 03:06:24 GMT Wel, it's been a long time coming.
