Aren't there detailers on every street in Florida? Sounds like a supply and demand problem.

It's not a question of can you top any sealant with a wax...yes you can...the question is why would you want to? Adding wax does not necessarily increase the longevity of the underlying sealant. That's a myth and I've proven it a 100 times in my many years of waxing over sealants and wearing my...

There was a time when the BL/V7 combo was king. It's still a very nice look.

Yes you can. If you are doing it right don't put too much on. You should hardly see anything left to wipe away if done right.

Joe....how does HD speed compare to McKees jeweling wax? I know HD speed cuts more but given you've used both, which would work on s well maintained car. I'm leaning toward the JP, but I'm not thrilled about carnuba.

I've got 9 months easy out of DG 105 including the harshest winter in 50 years last year. That includes over 15 winter commercial touchless washes. Phenomenal product for under $20. Looks like carnuba warmth.

Lots of guys including myself clay using a speedy prep towel as we clay using the soap as lube. In fact I'd consider using carpro iron-x snow foam soap so you'd be doing iron Decon and claying while washing. It works quite well. If you're not wanting to it that way, then I would do a wash...

Nice info but it's not about products. It's about selling yourself. You have to believe and love what you are doing. This isn't about making a few bucks because there are far easier ways to make money. Detailing is hard work and even when you're having a bad day, you're customers don't care...

You said the magic word carnuba. That changes the equation for many users.

The dilution ratio between WW and detail spray is not a big difference. I think the WW ratio would much safer and probably slicker. I guess at detail spray strength you're saving some money, but on my paint, I'll take safer over saving a few pennies for product.

If it's true that essence alone has poor sheeting and self cleaning properties, it's a non starter for me as an AIO alternative and should not be considered in that category imo. If any AIO has to be topped imo it's not an AIO. Sheeting is huge in my book. Yuuuuge!

Question... What are the advantages of using as a detail spray vs a WW?

I've been doing this before the word detailing was a word. It's crazy the number of products that people have been convinced they must use or else they won't be able to sleep at night. Its quite a spectacle considering the next must have is already obsolete before you even buy it. When I was...

You're trying to condense ten years of product use, research, and testing into a nice neat quick answer. It's not possible to get an answer that won't confuse you even more. I would stick with one company. Meguiars, 3D/HD, and McKees are cost effective for businesses. I'd stay away from the...

Mike with you're opinion that abrasives play the key role in polishing paint, can one assume you had a key role in helping develop the new McKee polishing products?

Slickness anxiety can be treated, but requires a lot of therapy.

Looking forward to your results

Can it unseat HD speed ...that's the question.

FK1000p and Sonax PNS imo sheet better and stay cleaner than most coatings and they do not suffer from water spotting.

Liked the old days better. The teaching classes. Watching guys chit chat or a stationary camera showing people walking by is really lowering the bar. Outa here.
