Note to self: Stop quoting prices before seeing how bad the paint is! 🧐 This is why I will be a high-end detailer. Morally, I can’t let this car go home looking like complete *****!

Getting there...

… Another work in progress. This car is a year old, 4500 miles… I believe it lives in Swirl City.

^ I’m near the bottom of the first bottle, which is over a year old. The second unopened one was purchased earlier this year. It’s very fluid, with no solidified matter inside. I saw that photo that someone posted awhile back, in which theirs solidified while in storage. For coating a car...

On faded trim, TACsystem Moonlight. For this trim, Optimum Poly Seal. Also CarPro PERL on the weather stripping around the windows. I’ll put Moonlight in the Pepsi Challenge any day of the week when it comes to faded trim. A wee-bit too toxic for my head yesterday on the Transit. I’ll use a...

^ There’s that saying... Find something that works for you, and use it often.

I used some today on door jambs, plastic interior trim, sides of the seats and under the hood. It also doubled as an interior air freshener.

Yes, we’re having a friendly discussion and debate about car care products. I am saying with a smile, I don’t care if a product is rated by a company at nine months durability*, but completely fails at six months. My environment is different than yours. I wash my car with different car...

...and some us don’t mind using a topper each wash. If your car isn’t ceramic coated, then you may not realize how it stays cleaner, longer, versus traditional waxes and sealants. I live in dry and dusty Southern California, where it’s rained once since last May. Before I coated my daily...

I want to keep it on topic, but... Regarding any and all product reviews from anyone... I have to realize that I’m watching a YouTube’r, not a paid professional. Any of us can have a channel. What I struggle to tolerate are repetitive phrases: “As you can see...”, the worst offender. “So...

Well...it’s white. 🤷🏻#♂️ Final Thoughts: Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Polish & Wax and the Ceramic Coat spray was a good choice. I did the door jambs with the Ceramic Detail Spray. My good friend tells me to manage my expectations and to use appropriate products for each vehicle...

TW Hybrid Solutions and LC Orange Light Cut pads for the win! I’d forgotten how smooth and slippery this polish is. Perfect for this vehicle. Topping it with their Ceramic Coat now.

I have a new bottle of CQ Light. Can someone give me an estimated number of cars or coats it will cover? Thanks.

On the list: ‘93 Mustang Cobra R Buick GNX Buick Regal Turbo Pontiac Trans am Turbo GMC Syclone GMC Typhoon Minus the Cobra, we can see the V6 turbo want is strong over here. And now I just realized those were all 4spd automatics. Well, Cobra it is. Klasse, I was at the drag strip on an...

Strong little sucker! Although it would feel off-balance, it would be more efficient if the larger 18V batteries fit the attachment slot; Even the 2.5 amp size, which I assumed was coming with it. I run it on speed 3, mainly. But find the battery lasts shorter than the claimed 35-40 minutes...

QUESTION: Dan, the time you put into each detail, how many days do you have a client’s vehicle? I’m averaging 12 hours per detail. I also have a full-time job, so typically, a vehicle is left with me in the afternoon, and they pick it up the next day. I aim to be thorough, but find myself up...

^ Do you do the windows with Cquartz? I coated them all, minus the windscreen, which Gliss was applied to. I have a 50ml vial of 3.0 that’s got about 30% left in it after applying two coats on my car. Figure I’ll coat the wheels or find something around here to coat. Gliss seemed to drain...

Great reviews. I’ve got some on the way.
