Not anyone. You need to have some experience installing coatings and have a somewhat consistent influx of coating jobs. I personally know people who weren't approved because they only do maybe 5 coatings a year

It depends on the expectations you set and a little bit on your local market price. Yes I did $375, but I did no paint correction. Normally I do paint correction before coating, but on a 1 year coating, it isn't a big deal as long as you do a good chemical decon first. If I were to be doing any polishing, it would be at least $500

@@DelgadoDetailing I charge 145$-210$ depending on size of vehicle . So I may just add another 125$-175$ depending on size of vehicle .

@mr.bhamgarage4570 yeah bro $145 for a ceramic coating even if it's a 1 year is wayyy too low. Although there are Sealants that can last up to 1 yr now, a ceramic coating will perform better and offer better chemical resistance and uv protection over a sealant during that 1 year

@@DelgadoDetailing I charge 145$-210$ just for the detail not the coating

@@DelgadoDetailing I’m thinking I’ll add an extra 150-250$ extra for the coat

Yeah this was years ago. The tune I run now requires the OEM valve so I removed this one

Lol 😂

Thanks man!

Yeah man unfortunately, if you use any pressure at all with the 320, you're gonna have a hard time getting those scratches removed. One thing that has helped me is splitting the light into sections, and using brand new 500 grits on each section. I've had good success removing 320 grit marks that way. Repeat with the 800 to get the 500 out, but after that, the 1500 and 3000 step is really quick

Lol detail kegs look like a really solid way to rinseless also!

You might be right, but I haven't ran into any issues using it. I feel like I have wayyy more control with it compared to a normal drill. It's all down to preference. Maybe I'll learn the hard way one day lol

Yeah, I normally only use one, but I didn't want to dig to deep in the areas around the bulge

Yo that's awesome! Yeah just about everything is better than ONR😂Yeah I also got the 1800 and 600 psi one and I love em both. Thanks for your support!

Because it brings it from 228 hp to 300hp. It's a huge difference with literally just plug and play

It's a workhorse! Got it off FB marketplace for $60 2 years ago

@@jongrigolla Anytime!

Big facts bro😂

Thanks bro!!

Thanks man! Yeah Hydro has been amazing so far!

Haha I feel you man I HATE washing large trucks lol

Not sure. That's why I decided to put it on my car and see how it holds up! So far, the hydrophobics and self-cleaning abilities are insane

I know lol f $399 bs 😆 labocosmetica 🤌🏾👌🏾 and PFAS safe

​@cebasmb8250 I mean, If this coating truly can last around 100k miles or so, I'd say their asking price is worth it. But, it is a new coating, so only time will tell. If it fails, I'll tell it how it is👍🏻

@DelgadoDetailing yes we'll see but it's always a BUT lol

Hey there! These are the F1R F29's in silver

I've had this one for years! It's plenty good for detailing

Thank you!!

Oooh I think you might be right lol. It was 59% humidity at the time of recording this vid

​@@davidblalock1709😂

I think it's a really good product to maintain your headlights! Once you see the water beading start to diminish, just apply some more. It'll definitely help in slowing down the oxidation process

Thank you🙌🏼

Thanks John!!

You must be why I was suggested this video. 😂

From an Egg owner to another Egg owner, I appreciate you brotha❤️

@@CarsWithKeav I do what I can

You're welcome!

Yeah over these past few months I've figured that out haha. Been testing some rinseless washes in Oklahoma 100°F summers with tap water and even after it dries, they wipe off! Rinseless Wash for the win!!!

That's awesome! Yeah this has quickly become one of my favorite purchases!

p500, p800, p1500, 3000 trizact (all from 3m), then polished using Chemical Guys headlight restore, and clear coated with 1 heavy coat of meguiars headlight clear coat

Wait at least 24 hrs for the coating to fully cure, then you can use whatever topper you want

@@DelgadoDetailing thanks!

As long as you do 1 medium/heavy coat and spray evenly, it should be fine

@@DelgadoDetailing So spray Meguiars one medium then one heavy coat?

@thingshappen9199 No, 1 medium-heavy coat. Check out one of my most recent shorts and you can see how I spray in real time

​@@DelgadoDetailing ok. So there's no flash time? Interesting. I'll try that out hopefully it'll react ok with the 2k. Since I drove the car for about 40 miles after I restored them should I maybe try a super fine polish or anything less aggressive than polish before putting the Maguiar's clear?

@thingshappen9199 I wouldn't polish it since the 2k was recently sprayed. I'd just use a panel prep solution or put about 1-2 oz of 91% Isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle and fill the rest with water. Spray that on the headlights and wipe it off. Then make sure it's fully dry, and go in to your 1 coat of meguiars

Thank you so much!!

Do you do 1 coat? Or 2 coats?

@@DelgadoDetailing 1 Coat

@@roysla how heavy did you go? As long as you keep your arm speed somewhat quick, you can spray a lot and it'll self level

Of course man! Glad I was able to help😊

What do you suggest charging? There are a ton of business in my area that charge cheaper than I do

@@DelgadoDetailing I suggest you stop worrying about what others charge and charge what you are worth in the value that you give to your customers. In my area, I have not once looked up what others are charging because most of them are detailers, and I specifically focus on headlight restoration only. minimal is $120 and I often charge between 120 and 160 per pair. Occasionally, I will decide to charge 100 to 115 for smaller headlights on vehicles that are much older and very easy to do but majority I’m not charging less than $120. On average my work takes two hours or slightly less that doesn’t include the drive time and the driving after you’re done with your customer. My time is valuable and if you’re gonna continue charging it just $100 no matter the vehicle type, when all headlights are not made equally or the same, then you are strongly cheating yourself.

@MichaelBrianInc My guy, I said this headlight restoration was $100. I didn't say all of them are. I never said I don't upcharge on more difficult lights. I've done $250 headlight restorations on some Ford Focus and Kia lights because they are 4x as difficult. I think it's very important to do market research before pricing your services, or else you might just price yourself out of business. I suggest you stop telling others how to run their business and focus on your own.

@@DelgadoDetailing lol the level of offense you took is funny considering you asked if you should charge more then $100… I don’t follow you nor know your business. I simply answered the question. If somehow you were specifically speaking of this particular vehicle, then I read wrong, however if not then be specific. Regardless, this is worth more than $100… So it still stands, you asked, a viewer who also does restorations responded… So what’s the problem? I guess now because you took what I wrote personal and felt defensive you’re now a top tier pro and don’t like the constructive criticism? Stay in what lane? Which lane do you think I should be in then? And yes market research is imprtant to figure a baseline, but you can’t focus on charging what others charge. If a whole area charges $80 for a pair no matter the vehicle and you do way better work there’s no way you’d be making anything charging the same. Market prices are a baseline reference not an exact blueprint to follow. Don’t ask questions if you don’t like the feedback. You act like someone is telling you how to run your business… Don’t ask then. Charge what you charge and keep it moving.

@MichaelBrianInc Look man, the only person who is blowing this out of proportion is you. I have nothing against constructive criticism. However, your comment wasn't really constructive. The whole demeanor of your comments was very negative, so of course I'm going to take a bit of offense when someone approaches me that way. Nowhere in any of these comments or in the video did I claim that I am a top tier pro. If you wanted to give constructive criticism on my pricing in response to my question, you could've done it in a more constructive way. But instead, you said "Raise your prices..." and I responded asking what you would recommend, and then you went off. I appreciate you letting me know it was all in good faith. However, next time, word it in a way that actually sounds constructive and not demeaning so that it's actually taken as constructive👍🏻

What grit did you start out with?

@@DelgadoDetailing I started with p500 but I have only used two p500 per light. I'm not sure how they're supposed to feel when enough material is removed bc this is my first time trying this

@MichaelBlast A lot of times, it's actually not that you didn't go deep enough with the p500, it's that you didn't remove all the p500 sanding marks with the p800. The HRP has his process down to a T, so that's why he makes it look so easy. In actuality, it's pretty difficult. Don't worry too much about it bro. It takes time to get crystal clear results and shoot bro I'm not even anywhere near the HRP's level

@@DelgadoDetailing I did have to re do a spot where I missed the p500 scratches. I imagine I can re do a couple spots that could be improved.

@MichaelBlast Yeah that was my main issue when first trying out the HRPs method. You really gotta make sure you remove all the p500 marks as best as you can before you move on. I also found that sometimes the 3000 trizact wouldn't remove all the p800 grit marks, so I started implementing a p1500 grit step in between and have gotten good results

Thank you! Yes, here is the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXiQh2Whmbh-b9ksi=8SOhG6ySQXjst_WQ

It depends on your area. The average here in my area is $100/set

Best of luck! Yeah I started off doing his method 100%, but then I made some changes that helped me get better results. Everyone will have certain processes that will work better for them. Just takes time to find out what they are.

Yeah, unfortunately I didn't shoot a long video of that lexus. Next time I get one in I'll do a longer video on it👍🏻

Yeah its a lot more comfortable for me as it feels like a mini polisher, and that's what I'm used to. Normal drill will also work too

🔥🔥

Yeah it will most likely work fine! I've actually switched to using my Maxshine 3 inch dual action polisher and have gotten good results there too. The issue with a rotary polisher and foam is the risk of burning the foam into the plastic (I've done that before). But everyone has their own preference

Yeah those respirators are a MUST! It'll make you feel sick If you breath in that stuff.

Oooh I am loving the 3d headlight restore! To keep it simpler now, I am now doing a cutting step with my normal paint compounds (You can use the one in the kit with finesse it pad), then I do one last pass with 2 drops of 3D restore. Or what I did with the Chem Guys was a 75/25 mix. 75% Chem guys, 25% compound
