Thanks for the video Yvan. Waiting for delivery of my first rotary. Unfortunately its not the DIY Detail model. But looking forward to try finishing with the rotary instead of DA.

LET'S GOOO YVAN! WE missed you so much! I look forward to listening to more of your videos :)

Your awesome!

👍🔥👍

Do you have any date for Quebec City in a near future?

EPIC 🔥

Thanks for the great info, as always! Unlike some others (like one who just came up with his own line of products and is overly enthusiastic) you can see that you are not just trying to sell me something, but actually sharing in your expertise. I'm not a detailer, I'm just a guy trying to take care of his old cars and make them last in this Miami Sun (have a driveway but no garage, unfortunately). Sometimes I fantasize of becoming a detailer but that is mostly out of my reach I think. Anyway, questions: I recently bought a well priced combo of OPT ONR and a Big Red sponge. Can I use that for your polishing pad cleaning technique? I still have both sides of my good car to correct and polish and I think your advise will make my life a lot easier. So, it's the OPT ONR good for that? And, I planned to use the rinse-less to do many regular weekly maintenance washes. Should I just return it and go for a more modern rinseless like your own DIY? Let me know your thoughts. Again, a million thanks Yvan, you've got a follower for life.

Hi Yvan, love your stuff brother. I used to do bodywork back in 1990. We used the wool pad with the 3m heavy duty compound to smooth out the lacquer clear, I'm sure you remember those days. The 2 part clear was just coming out, it had probably been out, but the shop owner was really cheap. Do you remember how we then removed the swirl marks with "ebony" with a very soft pad(don't remember the exact name?) We didn't have foam pads at the shop. Is ebony still being used? Or is that obsolete now? Thanks for your time and going down memory lane

I have the flex rotary and max is 2100rpm but I spin the pad (5inch ) out for 30secs and I find that does the trick

Very glad to see this channels content return. It’s been very useful to me in my business, especially in sop and hourly rate configuration.

I really enjoyed your video, thanks Yvan, I’m learning 👍😁

If you already have a 15mm Rupes DA, what should the next tool be? 21mm DA or rotary?

School in session! The professor has spoken "facts" 💯 Believe it receive it. Doubt it go without it! Drop the mic 🎤 Thanks Yvan. Appreciate all your contributions to the detailing community. GGG 😎

You had said a 15mm Is basically for enhanced work. Will your battery operated 25mm work for this as well with yellow pad. Or should I stick with a 15mm.

So what you saying is we can stop using sand paper to remove the orange peel and use a foam to achieve it. Thats great news

Thanks

I will be trying this minus the Long Throw. I have a 15mm machine...

Thanks Yvan, excellent info for me😊. I wasn't able to get the jewelling pad in Australia when I bought your polish and waffle pad, but remember you saying I can finish with the yellow waffle as well, how do I do that, thank you again 👌

Why did you wait all of this time for you to explain this to us. You where always saying DA is for cutting and even though you were demonstating with a 15mmDA. You never specified that it has to be 21mm or higher, why? Here we are.buying 8,9,12and 15mm DA and your not saying anything Ivan. Onto the topic of cleaning pads. What are the methods to clean wool ir Microfiber pads? Last you mentiined using Rinskess wash for cleaning foam pads and not to use Polymer based Rinseless wash. Yet you said a Hybrid is fine even though it does have Polymers in it like your DIY rinseless, which includes both 1st and 2nd iterations??

I have a question, so the 5mm millimeter pads that you make. Are they gonna work properly on the 15 mm rupes?

How can i polish with a Lexus 21 mod with a DA 12 fine polish and pad, no pressure and tok 7 microns with 3 passes? There is no paint to take of? Yous low speed,

I really wish I knew this before.I bought my 15 mil rupes polisher. 😅 great video yvan!! 👍🏻🇨🇦

I literally detailed a tractor here in Canada today, farm equipment is very lucrative for my business in winter. I used a rotary 2 step on the John Deere green, Gold standard polish both steps, but wool pad first speed 2, then foam pad speed 1. Ceramic gloss and one happy farmer. A sprayable polish is a must on tractors, and is a huge time-saver and money-maker. On cars I use a DA first then rotary but I'm old so this has been my system for a long time. On the enamel paint of farm equipment, rotary is really the way to go, a DA tends to spread oxidized paint and smear it rather than remove it. Great video, great debate either way. Merci Yvan

Damp pad with a rotary is impossible I always get sling lol 😂especially with the pad washer

Great advice Video Yvan!

No need to reply, just wanted to thank you for this incredible presentation.

Application for your new wax coming Feb 14th, 2025 - Hand, Random orbital sander, or Rotary? Best.

This was an awesome video

Let's go

an interesting subject

Tips and tricks on how to clean wheel wells and tires using rinseless. Thanks.

As a new detailer that is trying to go into business with his father, I of course have many questions. A couple of them are: Can I use a rinse less wash before a buff/polish? Should I still clay bar after the rinse less wash to prepare the paint for polishing? Does a rinse less wash strip the paint of waxes and other protectants to prepare the surface for buffing and polishing? Thank you for the video sir, great insight and info regarding this skill that I will definitely try doing this week.

What a great video Yvan! Thank you for sharing this info!

Very nice. 🎄

Hey Yvan, thanks so much for all the info. Great stuff. Rinseless wash is something I’ve discovered after buying my new car and man, what a rabbit hole. Hundreds of dollars later and I have like 7-10 different brands of rinseless trying to find the best. Yours is my preferred in the bucket as it releases a lot of dirt from my wash media and microfibers. I let them sit in a bucket of DIY until my next wash load. So clutch. So great.

I've been rinseless in my business since 2009-10, and whenever the first sponge hit market (I can't remember when), I bought two for my mobile set up and never, not once, have I scratched any vehicle. I never buy regular soap for any reason, and of course I have settled on the DIY rinseless V2 as this I consider to be the benchmark for cleaning power and profitability. Here in Ontario, any pros still not using rinseless get in touch with TOC Supplies and they will answer any questions, and set you up. Soap is the rotary dial telephone of the detailing world

Ivan, everything you said is true, confirmed by years of experience and personal choice. I have already tested the big red sponge used with ONR and it really does hold a lot of dirty oils, and I have also tested the TRC black sponge used for several washes with DIY Rinseless wash and it shows the difference between polymer based and surfactant based rinseless wash, so I will continue to buy both, because both have great application and a pleasant washing experience for different situations, maybe different seasons. In the summer I choose DIY because it fights baked oily road film very well, and in the winter ONR because there are more small abrasives and particles on the panels and polymers do a better job than surfactants. There's a big difference in the bucket after washing between the two, if you know what I mean. I have also tried mixing both and it works well without leaving streaks on the surface

Ever since i tried rinsless i cant stop trying them all i do prefer the hybrid with a sponge and the hybrid has become my glass cleaner

I still get a 'foam fix' by doing a hybrid wash. Foam, dwell, rinse, spray rinse-less, contact wash with rinse-less and dry, awesome results. Thanks Ivan.

Is rinseless wash 100% safe on ceramic coatings?

Appreciate the information Ivan 🙏🏻

Love rinseless; wondered why the one I was using wasn't doing great in a pad washer. Hah, it's a pure polymer-based one! Thanks for making the difference clear; I'm really happy so far for everything but that! Will try a hybrid when this one runs out!

Thanks Yvan, you should try your rinseless on your glasses...it does a wonderful job

Thanks for the info Yvan 😎

Excellent video. we've been using rinseless wash on the carpets it works great!

Thnx for info, Ivan. Presently I use Optimum gold rinseless by first rinsing dirtiest areas with garden sprinkler to wash off anything big, then spraying panel thoroughly with the diluted rinseless, then gently drying the surface with plush microfiber towels. I'll try changing that by adding intermediate step of bucket and sponge before doing the drying. I don't know of Optimum gold has any surfactants in it but am exploring other brands (I use DIY Detail waterless wash for especially dirty areas).

So , in case where a person still wants to use a shampoo. Would using a sponge be better in this case as well as woth rinseless?

Love rinseless wash. Never used it before until I started watching Yvan

First and ready

Who’s selling a 15ml bottle let’s be real mate! You’re literally criticising things that YOU have made up this whole video. This was like watching 100 detailing shorts put together “ in terms of advice
