Luke, thanks for the great information. I’ve been detailing for about 20 years now and I have learned quite a bit from you. In the kindest way possible I’d like to give you a tip since I’ve gotten so many from you. Don’t forget to take the license plate off the back of the car, the paint behind the plate needs love too. Thanks again for all the valuable info, I’ll continue to watch AND like your videos...keep them coming.

[@arrozconmgtow5026]

I've busted two members of my competition for the license plate thing. I remove the plate every time, without fail. If I have to break the screws to get the plates off I don't care...I replace them. I'm set up for that sort of thing.

[@jasgill7412]

As a 43yo detailer whose been detailing for over a decade, please do me a favor... Please get yourself a couple IK sprayers for your brake buster and APC. Not only will it save you time on every detail, but it'll save your fingers all dang day. Great video man, loving this informative content.

Great job!!! Exactly thats what that type of job cost, minimum $1000 bucks. I used to do same job youre doing for $11 dollar per hour, except ceramic coating. Wash 80 cars in 10 to 12 hours. And not only that .many, many more things, and With out the right to drink water.

[@lasilveira805]

First time I seen someone detail the exact color and Audi SUV I own 🥰♥️ We haven't had ceramic coating on it yet, but my paint looks like when we left the showroom 🤩 My SUV sits in the sun as well, but we wash it weekly and use a spray wax every wash and or polish it once a month or so. My interior still smell new and its a 2018. When I take it in to maintenance, the service writer says my car is in brand new condition. I have 3 sons and they make sure their shoes are dusted off before entering my car and we don't eat in our car either, only water or non staining drinks lol 😆 👌 Nice work 👏

[@wrbergner]

Hi Luke, chalk up another 'sweet' lesson; this being on prep staging prior to ceramic coating followed by the actual ceramic coat. Now I know you did the entire detail in 10 hours, what is the cure time on the ceramic coating? Most are either 24-48 hours. Do you advise the owner to garage the car when they pick it up? Great job, as always!!!

[@Mwap439]

Bill B Same question as well.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Yes absolutely! Keep it in the garage for 48 hours! That's my RULE, and I'm not one to compromise on rules like this

[@bigd9848]

Yes perfect to cure in the garage ✊I have a few customers who want me to go through all the work and they want to Keep it outside 🤷🏼‍♂️I warn them about the consequences of not letting it stay garaged. The best place for it and the products are backed by doing it and curing it the proper way 💎🇺🇸

[@MrAgustincuenca]

my detailer returned me the car after the cure was done inside his shop, not before. Understand he is not a mobile one, of course. And his advise was, put it outside your garage in direct sunlight to make it shine more during the first week. The cure stage it's important.

My local dealership def doesn't give a crap if it is ceramic coated on a trade in. Im pretty sure they would laugh in your face for asking. You get the KBB rough value on a like new car and they say "thats the market".

[@V2STU]

hey wilson great video, was wandering if you included the price of the ceramic in to the 1000$ price point.

[@namteiv5564]

Hi Luke, I don't know how to contact you other than to just comment, Have you ever used or reviewed Armor Shield IX Nano Ceramic Coating? I am in Arizona with extreme heat conditions 100-119 degrees just about daily. You literally only have 30 seconds to remove it or to buff off. P.S. I love your channel and usually glance at it everyday for new videos. I have really upped my game this year I want to thank your channel for that . I must say I can't keep up with all of the chemicals.lol I use basic but have been doing this work for many years. Thanks Luke!

[@olmrmonster580]

I live in west TN and there is no way I could get anyone to pay 1k for a ceramic job. I know the Nashville area has people that make more money than west TN but honestly I couldn’t see charging that much personally. I’ve been detailing for 20 years and to each their own I just couldn’t charge that much.

[@raposobernardo]

hey Luke, I like your videos a lot! Great content. I'm thinking about starting ym own detailing business Do you have any content showing the reason behind so many different products and so many processes? In your video, after the first 15 min, the car looks the same after you use more products. I believe they all have their properties and do different stuff to the car, but can you describe that in a video? Thanks a lot!

[@andrewvaldez8783]

Mr Wilson is this your still your ceramic coating you use for all your details or do you use a different one. I seen a more recent video you were using a different product what’s your best one?

[@cgttc0441]

Very nice. Do you put a topper to protect the ceramic during its cure time. As an example reload with car pro Cquartz.

[@johnayala5366]

Looks like a mirror. Great vid!

[@peterjurenovskis5933]

Lots of good information. It looked like during the ceramic process, you were careful not to apply the coating to the silver window trim. Why? Did the sunroof glass panels, rear hatch and side windows get cleaned only?

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Good question, I am following up with this car and putting a ceramic on all the glass, so that is when the chrome and pillars will be done, I avoided it in this case because of the prep Ill do with the glass in the future before application

[@peterjurenovskis5933]

Wilson Auto Detailing So a follow up question is; when coating glass, the rubber seals get coated as well? I guess it isn’t an issue along the top part of the seal on the side windows, the coating between the rubber and the glass (of where the movement is when you bring the window up/down).

[@ojoaomoutinho]

Hi Wilson, everything ok? I have one think in my mind, to try in my vehicle the CERAMIC aplication and after, do the WAX coating. It is the best of the best creation or it doesnt make any diference after the Ceramic?

[@craigmoir9278]

[@dakotacostanzo24]

Hey Luke, I have just recently started a mobile detailing business. I’m getting started in ceramics and I have carpros ceramic coating and paint correction. I was wondering if you had any tips on polished, like a good polisher and combination of pads and products to use. There are so many different products to use. I’m wondering if you wouldn’t mind giving me some advice on it! Thank you!

[@lukewiezycki7550]

Hopefully it’s not too late but here’s what I’ve had good luck with. A nice polisher you could always get a starter polisher on amazon for $125 it comes with basic pads that will get you going. Then upgrade later on. I really like optimums spray polish. They have a compound, a hyper polish, and a few others. All work well

[@nextlevelmobiledetailingllc]

Menzerna 2500, Meguiars 110, Lake country orange foam pad, Lake country microfiber cutting pad. You can get a lot done with just those products. Also I really like CarPro Essence as a final polish, CarPro Eraser before applying coating.

[@ladyjust905]

If you use Ceramic coatings do you need to use Wax too? If no, Can you use Wax with it or would it damage the ceramic coating? I had never heard of ceramic coatings before so this is a first for me and I am trying to start a detail business so I am curious to know how exactly and ceramic work together or interact with each other.

[@weaverdetails4747]

I spend three days applying a coating on my personal vehicles. Day 1 wash and Decon, day 2 paint correction, day 3 coating application. To do this all in one day is so tiring and easy to lose focus.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Definitely tiring, but losing focus is a matter of personal bandwidth I think

[@Ecarney_5]

So first off. I am relatively new to ceramics. I have taken 1 weekend and this is now my second real customer that wants one. The first car I had 18 hours into, you don't exactly work that in a single day at full consciousness. This being my second one I am about 20+ hours into correction. I cannot conveniently get these cars back in a day. To make them absolutely perfect for a ceramic they need to be properly corrected. Am I in the wrong for taking this long to give my customers an honest application of a very expensive product?

[@wayniac34]

What kind of cars are you working on?

[@99zman]

I struggle with that same thing it takes me 11/12 hrs when doing this. I don’t stop reared for breaks or anything.

[@thatcaddydude4202]

I love your content and you speak complete facts, but sometimes you get a little full of yourself saying “my customers will only choose me i’m the best they only think about me” maybe that is the case, but i’m here for the knowledge not necessarily you being all uppity that you’re the best detailer

[@wilsonautodetailing]

I could be wrong, but I don't believe i have said "I'm the best," I believe the conversation is surrounding the fact that the brand I've built in my area at this point causes customers to call me and say 'I don't want anyone else to detail my car, do you have time?" Hopefully you can hear what Im saying and not what Im not saying

[@thatcaddydude4202]

Wilson Auto Detailing I gotcha. No hate at all - sometimes just comes off a little harsh to the guys who are really just in their first few months trying to get a grasp of everything!

This was right out of the package.

Wash the car with a ; stripping wash or Dawn dish soap works as well. It will remove the old wax so you can buff

[@theirishman088]

I detailed for 10 years at a dealership and unfortunately the couple that I worked at could care less about the appearance of the vehicle when it was traded in. The dealer will not give you $1000 bc it is clean bc they are going to detail it anyway. Great content tho. 👍

[@charlesbardforth6738]

Dealers want the deal. And if its leased, as long as its not hit, they dont care either. It goes to auction.

[@jaredreynolds9419]

I agree having worked at dealerships but you should be able to get that thousand back if you sell it privately, most will pay more if they know it was well taken care of and had a ceramic coat.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

I think my point is more this: Like in real estate, the location is going to determine the appraisal value more than anything else, BUT a house that has been renovated recently on the inside is going to peak far more interest for say a first time home buyer than one that is not, and will is many cases drive up the price. That doesn't mean it's going to sell for $20K more than it's worth, but there is absolutely a price tag attached to that. In the same way, a vehicle that is maintained with incredible car is of course more desirable, and that in many ways can cause the same effect when selling

[@miragexl007]

Hmm, this video almost convinces me this year about trying Ceramics. Doesn't seem worth it... with the good sealants and waxes now and what people are really willing to pay overall in most areas... but may try it on my own car. Stuff itself is like a hundred and twenty bucks I believe
