GREAT job on the RAM ! Got a 2020 Longhorn, black diamond pearl. Absolutely love you talk about places you need to be cautious and not cautious about. Between you, Brian at FAB and Pan, I’ve learned so much. Detailing has become a passion of mine after buying new vehicles for my wife and I. I had a general idea of how to wash and maintain, but with all the new technology and the great information on KZbin, vehicle protection has gone to another level. Thank you for all the amazing and informative content !

Great video, love how you give good information and your honest, I have on question I’m in the market for a cordless buffer, I already have Dwalt and Milwaukee batteries should I go with there brand or check into the one I see you used

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi thanks. Since you already have the batteries I would personally just stick with the Dewalt. I have heard good things about it.

[@corrybowers5078]

The DeWalt is awesome. Love mine!!

[@conwaysdetailing387]

Great video

[@josebrito216]

I really like all the knowledge you share in all your videos. I always learn a trick or two from watching your videos. One thing I do want to know is how do you fix a high spot the day after the coating as cured? Is polishing the only answer? I tried to reapply the coating on the high spot but it really didn’t help.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks. So even with the day after you can remove with a little bit of CarPro Essence plus and gently hand polish it away. Like we demo in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZLNk3Ssi7mVlZo

[@bludika]

You’re a good man

[@chriss3959]

Great tips! Truck looks awesome! How many pads do you need for polishing a truck this size?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks. usually we go through about 4-6 pads total. Sometimes more on certain vehicles.

[@chriss3959]

@@MirandaDetailing thanks for the reply!

[@brianhenry7983]

Hey Phil, I've noticed you use Dr. beasleys for compounding and polishing. Have you found it gives the best results most of the time. I mainly use 3dOne, mainly because it's fast, does a decent job and doesn't dust. But I'm always looking for better products. Was also looking into some carpro polishing products and pads because I know they make quality products as well. I'm going to be polishing a Toyota Corolla with lots of water etching and scratches, so I'm not sure 3dOne will be powerful enough for the job, but we'll see.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. So we use the Dr Beasleys NSP polishes as primers for ceramic coatings primarily. Thats what they are designed for. Makes things faster and less risky if dealing with sift black paint. We still use other compounds and polishes for non coating services. 3D One is awesome also!

[@lazyjacket]

Agreed. If possilble I will use a primer. My fav is Tacsystem Total One Essential, much shorter wait time than Gyeon and CarPro’s primers. The NSP’s seems like a hassle.

[@orthodox1717]

How long is the wait time with TAC?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Cool. Thanks each at first the NSP seemed to be annoying. But we grown use to it and now love it.

[@lazyjacket]

@@orthodox1717 depends on the temp, but min 4 hours @ 22c. At lower temps like 10-15c the time will be 12 hours.

[@lazyjacket]

@@MirandaDetailing if you feel adventures some time. Give tacsystem’s primer polish a go with a tacsystem coating (Quartz Power Plus)

[@denniscolyn5435]

Great all around advice and nice job on the truck, so how many man hours did you guys have in this Ram 1500?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks. Probably about 12 man hours total.

[@helifan2346]

Phil, good point. Some named detailer warriors go beyond what is needed and want to set the bar, their bar as a standard. Just because they take it as a “therapy” for their OCD, that doesn’t necessary means that all should go their way of seen and do things. It’s business, period. If you speak with the client and discuss what is needed according to your experience and the client expectations, that’s all what it matters. Who pays for the service? The client. Who’s there to do the job? You! Nobody else is between those 2 persons But I guess everything comes down to what other detailers charge for their service and the ones that charge less, the ones that get offended, are the ones trying to set the bar higher as they would go well beyond for that X amount of money…they think their “2 week experience as detailers” is not worthy and get jealous about what others charge, the ones with years of experience and that means knowledge and that bring$ to your business and confidence to the client, something they don’t have, confidence on themselves and they compensate doing more…for less. LOL

[@MirandaDetailing]

That was the best explanation I have ever heard!!! thanks for sharing that!

[@djsassafrass9126]

14:30 Work it, baby work it, put my thang down, flip it and reverse it! LOL

[@coreybell6398]

Great job. Well said. Washing in direct sun I see, Are you using DI water? Where do you get it?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks. I only use my DI water system for maintenance washing on ceramic coated vehicles. Our water here is not bad at all so we don’t worry about water spots. Also because we dry immediately…there is no chance of water spotting anyway. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYGsaXqJhrqMedk

[@jjjjjjjjjjjhjjjjjhjj]

I’d like to try some of that clarity cleanser stuff for the glass polish What pad was used for that and what is your favorite glass coating???

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. I like to use a microfiber cutting pad for polishing glass

[@chrisgarcia9711]

Hey Phil question sir!!!!… I got the brand new suburban in cherry red. I did a wash and clay and used meguairs 205 and got all the swirls out and then used chemical guys wet mirror glaze… is there a designated wax/sealer for red paint to really make it pop?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. That’s awesome. There is nothing specific for colors accept maybe black, but even that just has fillers to maps swirls. Polishing and using a good wax or sealant will make any color pop. I think gloss and shine is also subjective so it’s hard to say sometimes.

[@bjjbrawler1]

Is this Dirk Diggler's truck lol? Great video as always guys.

[@RL-ju9ye]

Thanks for the video! I’m looking to try the NSP polishes on a ‘16 Black Honda Civic and then coat with Gyeon Mohs EVO. Two questions if you don’t mind: Would you recommend the 45 or 95 with the orange pad? Do you think I’ll have any bonding issues since it’s two different manufacturers? Many thanks!!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. It’s really good stuff. I would start with the 45 first and the orange pad. No, those NSP polishes were formulated to work with any ceramic coating.

[@RL-ju9ye]

@@MirandaDetailing thank you! Looking forward to giving it a try.

[@thinkforyourself5672]

Phil, Did you use EXOv4 as a stand alone? I just got my car coated with Ultra and Gtechniq actually recommended me to not top it with Exo which surprised me. They said since it's a daily driven car kept outside that I should skip it since it's softer than the ultra and will pick up love marks much quicker. Surprised me to hear for sure. As a stand alone in my situation they said no problem but since I have a stronger coating to start with to leave it alone.

[@Breese147]

I think I remember hearing these for other coating manufactures as well. The top coat isn’t necessary and is more slickness rather than durability. If the manufacture recommended it I would roll with it.

[@thinkforyourself5672]

@@Breese147, That's what I did. They said in the beginning they recommended Exo for everyone that had Lite or Ultra as a base coat. Now it's recommended for at the very least garage kept cars and as well as they said absolutely proper maintenance is required or they won't even recommend it for garage kept. It's much softer so swirls and drying marks are going to show much easier. I topped mine with Duraslic Flow-X. As of now for all the Toppers I've tried this stuff is leaps and bounds the best I've used. It's not cheap but it's the real deal. I use quality drying aids, Ultra as a base coat and FlowX as the long term Topper.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Yes that’s what Gtechniq told us also. Dual layering is a regional and marketing thing rather than a rule or necessity. 😎👍🏼

[@Hutch400]

What was it you used on the glass? Great vid!

[@MirandaDetailing]

we are in Autumn we had today rain,tomorrow suppose to be dry not cold you mention what I have I vacum few rooms and a cinema children charity variety and when I walk out to the car sometimes its cool but moment am done with vacum cleaning am warm and a yes love ram with there big nose

[@livnaway]

Would you consider doing a video on car soaps specifically to the understand of Ph? My of us think ph neutral is best dues to marketing. But I am learning that ph neutral may not clean as well. I have a car with Stek PPF where the ceramic coat is embedded in the film. Then a ceramic coat was applied to the outside in addition. I top off with a ceramic coat spray every few months. Ideally, I would love to do regular washes with foam cannon and blow dry for a touchless wash that gets off film and grime. You told me that higher ph soaps won’t strip ceramic coatings, but what about ?the topper spray? In my situation, is it possible to avoid a contact wash? Wouldn’t this free up a lot of time for detailers? A video dispelling the myths would really be helpful in my opinion.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Great question! I filmed a video today explaining different soaps and what they do and when to use them. As far as a contact wash it depends. If the vehicle is garage kept and really clean you could get away with just a ceramic infused shampoo and rinse and dry and it’s good to go. But that’s rare on vehicles that have driven a few miles on the road and have built up grime on the paint. You would want to contact wash it.

[@livnaway]

What foam cannon soap do you like right now? Do you still use the lemon joy home made glass cleaner

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. We use all sorts of soaps but I really love the Koch Chemie Super Foam or Active Foam for amazing foam and cleaning action also.

[@livnaway]

@@MirandaDetailing thank you. But won’t a non ph neutral soap remove coatings?

[@MirandaDetailing]

No ceramic coatings are very resistant to high and low ph soaps. In fact when a coating starts to show signs of clogging it’s good to deep clean it with those types of strong soaps. For waxes and sealants it’s best to use a ph neutral shampoo because waxes and sealants are not as strong as coatings.

[@LarryRichelli]

I have a Ram like the one you just did and a fiberglass shell (white). I am wonder is I can lightly clay this shell. Thanks

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Is the shell painted and clear coated? Or is it just unpainted bare fiberglass?

[@LarryRichelli]

@@MirandaDetailing clear coated Thanks

[@MirandaDetailing]

Ok. Then yeah as long as it clear coated treat it like regular clear coat on the vehicle.

You too! What do you mean about the paint prep?

[@Mdetailing]

@@MirandaDetailing in your main thumbnail of the video it Sais > With yellow and red letters

[@MirandaDetailing]

Oh I see. Yes that’s because we use the Dr Beasleys NSP Primers instead of a paint prep or panel wipe. It’s takes the place of a paint prep or panel wipe and actually helps any coating bond better. That was the point

[@Mdetailing]

@@MirandaDetailing i understand dear Phil.. But the head chemist i have relationship, always suggest me that from their point of view if we don't use the same brand primer-ceramic coat, no company can verify clearly that his coat will bond properly with other brand primer But i get your point Phil. Have a great Sunday keep up your great work on your chanells.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Very interesting. The Chemist at Dr Beasleys has tested it on many other coatings and formulated to work. Well at least with Gtechniq and Gyeon coatings I am seeing them at the year mark and they are preforming perfectly. But i understand that some may be skeptical still. It’s still pretty new and not a lot of detailers trust it yet. But it does work incredibly well.

[@bryanfugate2272]

Phil: Great job. What is your opinion on ceramic sprays?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks. We use them all the time. They are not like true coatings but they are perfect for customers who can’t afford a $1000+ coating service.

Ok good. That’s a good thing though. If the paints that smooth and the clay bar didn’t pick up that much grit that’s good!

🤔 Do you mean for ceramic coatings? If so I explained in the video. I don't use panel preps on paint.

[@Hennys_Mobile_Detailing]

@@MirandaDetailing yes. I heard that when you were polishing the hood. But interesting 🤔 and the ceramic still bonds to the paint

[@Ara_Milan]

Thank you for this helpfull video , one question can i do ceramic coating without polishing before ?

[@dustin3700]

Yes, but it may not last or perform well . So I would stick with a spray and wipe or paste wax if you don’t want to polish or pay for a polish. Kind of like applying paint to a dirty surface. The products are designed to bond to clean clear coat, even new vehicles on the lot can be vary contaminated or have water spots.
