    Ceramic coating

    Yep, 24H no water, 7 days no wash or chemicals is the standard. If you decide to use something on top, make sure it's ceramic based or you will loose the benefit of the ceramic coating while the other product sits on top. For example, if you use a quick wax you you loose the benefit of the...

    Waterless wash or just water

    Used a Waterless wash for the first time last week. I decided to use that to clay instead of the rinseless solution I normally use, When came time to dry the panel, a lot of residue was left behind. I had to re-wash with a rinseless to get rid of it... No a big fan so far. Next time il...

    AIO in 2021

    As with all things, a lot of factors affect durability but yes, many nano-ceramic AIO claim a year in terms of durability in normal use. As a rule of thumb nano-ceramic sealants have twice the durability of polymer sealants and 4 times the durability of carnauba waxes. The AIO I am using is...

    PPF over BF AIO, a good idea or not?

    To apply PPF panel must be nano-ceramic coating free and must be degreased first. Also, there is no need to make paint perfect under a PPF, defects will not show. I did not believe that until I saw Scott H. do a video on it. The PPF was able to completely hide heavy sandpaper scratches...

    Cleanup after using pads and wax removing towels

    After years of struggling to completely clean my polishing pad, this year I found the solution. All you have to do is use your pressure washer with a narrow nozzle (I use 15 degrees). If you do it after use, they clean completely with no effort. If you let them dry with polish in them, it's...

    ceramic on glass and chrome

    Why not just ask the guy to fix the issue? When I do a coating, sometimes the client has a small issue, it happens maybe once or twice per 100 coatings. I just fix it for the client. Most of the time it's either a high spot that was missed, or the client rubbed against the coating before it...

    Compound selection after 2000 grit

    My goto compound is Meguiars M105. If I get myself in a situation where M105 cannot remove the sanding scratches, I switch to M101 and they get removed. It really depends on the paint hardness. I use a DA with a foam cutting pad to remove sanding scratches, if you use something more agressive...

    Glossy tire dressing, which one?

    For the last 3 years I have been using Meguiars All Season Dressing. I really like that product, it lasts a pretty long time and I have not seen it sling yet. Also it has a good gloss level when you apply it. This is a silicone product, not a water based dressing.

    Precious metal investing

    Have not posted on this for a while. I have almost completed converting my savings into precious metals and am really glad I did. With the crazy money printing I believe we are heading to a currency reset within the next 2 years. I have now 36 videos on my channel. If you are interested in...

    Citrol vs Rapid Remover for removing baked on Tar, Sap, and Adhesives

    I just purchased my first gallon of Rapid Remover and will try it tomorrow on a sticker removal contract. Have any of you used it on tar so far? I usually use Gtechniq Tar and adhesive remover for that but if Rapid remover works as well, I might simply switch completelly. Also how is it on...

    Is Graphene the next big thing for coatings?

    I saw graphene demonstrated on Forensic Detailing's channel about 4 months ago. I made a mental note to check it out this summer but still have not done so with everything that has been going on. Are there many companies selling a graphene coating yet or just the SPS one? What kind of pricing...

    Turtle Wax Hybrid Spray Coating - Are the reviews misleading?

    That is really odd. I don't know why it wouldn't last on your vehicle. Maybe a bad bottle?

    A good 100' water hose

    Depends on your needs. For me, as a mobile detailers, I wanted something light that did not take much room. I have been using collapsible 100' hoses for 2 years now. The first one lasted me a season, so about 7 months. I broke it by mistake. They are fragile but I think the weight (Less than...

    Precious metal investing

    Warren Buffet also tried to purchase a lot of silver and was forced to sell it. I am not sure how that works but what I know is that the silver market is very small compared to everything else. So if a major player like buffet decided to buy a lot of silver, prices could very easily explode...

    Precious metal investing

    Precious metals are more of a savings account, not a real investment. The goal is not to make money with them, although you can if you buy and sell at the right time in the market cycles. The main reason is to use them as an edge against inflation and protection against black swan events...
