what's the last car care/detailing video you've just watched?

Never been a fan of those pump sprayers. I can foam a wheel in 5 seconds with a real foam cannon, a job that would take 3 minutes with one of those pump things.

Not everyone has a mounted pressure washer (or even have one).

For me I’ve went away from needing a pressure washer and having to set up to spray wheels takes much more time than just using a foam sprayer.

New battery powered ones have changed game.

I watched Pan's video where Yvan does a tour of Pan's garage. I complemented him on his garage and asked how many cars he details in a week but got no response. He responded to most other comments.

I have a typical garage (detailing is not primary use) and I could not keep it clean - spider webs, dust. leaves. etc. that can collect behind benches,. I do want to seal my floor sometime but just moving everything out would be a chore. Epoxy takes 3 days to cure while the polyurea cures in a day.

As for videos in general, I would expect to see more paint correction oriented videos.

I agree but if prices keep going up maybe it will drive customers my way. If they’re gonna pay, might as well pay someone to do it right.

I don't know...it seems to not be a cost issue so much as a convenience issue...I have a friend who I would offer to wash her car, and the half hour or 45 minutes was just too boring for her. She now works near a landfill and winds up with seagull poop all over it, so she has a monthly plan with a tunnel wash that she passes on the way home. I want to say it's only $20-30 a month, for unlimited washes. I don't see the car very often, but I haven't seen anything cringe-worthy in the sun or under a parking lot light, so perhaps not too much "scratch and swirl"; however it is silver, so who knows.

Have you considered floor tiles instead of a coating? I was dead against tiles at first because of the "where does the dirt go" thing. But the fact I didn't have to completely gut the garage and wait for it to cure is what won me over. Turns out the "where does the dirt go" thing was a non-issue.

Turns out the "where does the dirt go" thing was a non-issue.

So I am curious. Where does all the dirt go?
When I see tiles installed I often think that is a good solution but I wondered If it needs disassembled to get it dirt free or at the least needs hosed out?
I'm not a regular viewer of "Cars With Keav but I did see a video where he discussed/showed his floor system with tiles. He has gone over the top with shallow channels cut into the concrete to collect and route the water. However he sometimes uses hoses, etc inside his garage.
Just bare concrete in my garage and after doing a rinseless wash inside the garage during sub freezing temps I have to sweep the accumulated water/rinseless out of the garage after washing.

I'll admitt that I no longer watch Pans videos. He lost all credibility with me with the whole Clean /Awards deal.
He does have a beautiful garage with the finest equipment. I suspect he has higher priorities these days than detailing other people's vehicles. I also suspect that someone other than Pan is keeping his garage clean.
After all I sure he has his hands full producing/managing/ the finest brand of detailing products on the planet.

I actually had a first time VOC "experience" a couple of weeks ago. I was doing an RW on my DD, in the garage, main door open, side door open, there was a very light breeze outside. I was using Girot's 3-in-1 Ceramic Spray Wax as a drying aid. When I was done, I'm inside the house and not feeling right. I could almost taste the Girots, it was definitely in my lungs. I've never had that problem with spray product outside the vehicle before. For me, it might just be a one time occurrence with the breeze, but I'm still going to be a little more mindful when misting on a product from now on. For clarity, I'm not blaming Girots on any level, but VOCs are real.
