Most definitely. Another good vehicle and product mix. The only thing I can see that could use some improvement if possible are the before and after shots. The difference in the swirled black paint was dramatic, but other than that it was kinda like "take my word for it. this looks good". Looks to me that it's a real technical challenge, but being able to show the improvement that each product adds would add to the credibility of the presentation.

Just my thoughts FWIW.

Good feedback Bill and thank you for posting.


I've posted this about the other two TV production companies we've worked with besides MastersTV and with each company we have to first educate them about paint polishing in general and how to capture the money shot in specific.

Yancy is very good at getting the swirls in the before side and nothing in the after side but that's because he and I work together really hard at capturing this with a video camera.

Most of what TV production crews shoot are before and after of something bolted on to a car body, frame or engine.

To be honest, everyone we worked with usually comes over AFTER shooting the video and looks and looks and inspects the before and after differences like they've never seen this done before. Seriously.

I can't see what the video crew or producers see I can just go by what they say and they always say, "yeah we got it".

Thank you for the kind words...

The show is a lot different from the first season and going in the right direction of showing more how-to than interview. For everyone reading this, keep in mind most of you know more than the average person watching TV, that is most of you already know about the products, tools, pads and techniques shown on the various cars but to the masses... this is all new information.

Even today, when I hold a class or have a project out in the garage and invite others to help out, I'll still meet people that have never used detailing clay while most of us have been using it for years.

On this particular episode I took the Porter Cable Polisher, placed the speed setting on 6, stuck a polishing pad on it and shoved it down hard against the back of my hand because Steve, the owner of the 1959 Oldsmobile had never used a machine before and like so many people in the world, they're apprehensive about letting ANYONE touch their baby with a machine.

I figured if he's apprehensive then the people in the TV audience are apprehensive so I did that little demo to drive home just how safe this style of tool really is. I don't know if that's going to connect with the TV world and if our phones will start ringing off the hook but that is the goal. A TV show only goes if sales back it up.
