Phil, after last week's post, I'm glad to see you still around. Shine on you crazy diamond!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Oh yeah man. We’re not quitting. Just needed to vent and let viewers know what’s going with bad decisions KZbin has made that affected our channel.

[@audieconrad8995]

@MirandaDetailing I'm all on-board with ya amigo!

[@lilhomie86]

Nice video Phil!! Meant to comment on the last video, but I'm glad you're doing long form videos again. I always preferred them over the shorter videos. Even though I'm not a pro detailer, I always find some useful information that I can use when I detail my own car. Keep up the hard work Phil!!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks so much!!

[@oldatarigamer]

Always a lesson when watching a Miranda detailing video!

[@millerdetailing4176]

Just finished a detail now it’s time to watch some epic videos. Always appreciate all your content Phil I’ve learned so much from them.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Awesome, thank you!

[@AntLive29]

excellent job removing that bug deflector. I'm not a fan of those or the rain shields people put on the side windows. Great video!

[@b374mxg]

Phil; just joined up on your channel!! Thank you for having this.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks! Welcome aboard!

[@kimnewling5728]

Alittle anger, cut fingers, bleeding, frustration, and some good old-fashioned elbow grease. Can it be any better? Lol. I have a gut wrencher. Did a 1 step on my friends pickup, followed by a ceramic coating. It turned out super nice. Taught him how to maintain it, and he turns around and buys a car wash pass for a non-touchless. Extremely frustrating. Sickening feeling in my gut. Thanks for your hood protector video. I'll need it. Hi wife!

[@tomchinigo5014]

Great video Phil !! Very rewarding getting that bug guard off. Thanks for your time.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks for watching!

[@PeteKowalsky]

Nice truck! Looks FANTASTIC after the clean-up. I can't stand it when people put plastic crap all over their vehicles. I can neither confirm nor deny that I may at one point in my life have been guilty of doing that with chrome LOL but never with this WeatherTech stuff (I have since repented and changed my ways). Their mats are fine I suppose, but I really don't "get" why people go all-in with it and slap it everywhere. I'm IMPRESSED how well that hood front-edge cleaned up - NICE WORK as always, sir. 😎

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks!!😎👍

[@SPPACATR]

Nice job removing that hood piece, looked challenging!! Owner probably had no idea it would be so involved. Looks great!!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks!

[@Pack-zi1gt]

Learned a lot from this video. Thank you, Phil!

[@johnhufnagel]

referencing a previous video discussing if you should "quit" youtube... this is what I came here for. to see problems like this solved, and for the blood (although you DID disappoint me on that last part this time. :D)

[@MirandaDetailing]

🤣😎👍🏼

[@nabilaldhaleai5213]

I always enjoy watching and learning from your videos ... thank you so much

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thank YOU!

[@Mogsy28uk]

awesome work Phil, what a faff getting that protector off.

[@rgkakish]

Whenever I see this type of remediation work I just can’t help but imagine how much time is spent and the labor you would charge. This type of precision is on the same level of PDR in my opinion…

[@waynefromnewfoundland8740]

Hey Phil. First, I had a very similar experience with a bug deflector on a Ford Fusion. This particular type was installed with set screws that tightened against the under side of hood. Water would gather around the screws and over time it created a mix of rust and paint fading. I vowed then that I would never install a bug deflector on any of my vehicles. Second, that was a great recovery from that issue and it was corrected with a lot of knowledgeable skill. Especially the watering sanding. Nicely done. Till the next one.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks man!

[@neilwalker5041]

Excellent video as those bug guards are a problem. I remember always cutting my finger trying to clean underneath them as a teenager. The Ford looks amazing after you worked your magic. Thank you for the video.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks!😎

[@steveclark2426]

I too never understood those hood “protectors “. I was impressed with how the tail pipe cleaned up. Keep up your videos!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks!! 😎👍🏼

[@chriscarter3304]

Great work Mirandas. Thanks for the video.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks for watching!

[@davestewart9146]

I’m not much on the hood bug and rock deflectors or the carpet dash covers that stick on with Velcro, I can only imagine trying to get the Velcro of the dash after a few years, the hood actually turned out better than I thought, great video Phil 👍😁

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks! Me either!

[@SandS-Mobile-Detailing]

I like that around 12:58-12:59 you held the rag up and it looked like you were giving the process the middle finger😂

[@MirandaDetailing]

🤣😎👍🏼

[@tucksmith8300]

Coming from the bodyshop the customer would tell us to pull those bug deflecters off and yes it would leave scratches on the front part of the hood so I would help the painter with buffing it. That truck looks good Phill

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks!

[@joshmacveagh7714]

Thank u for all the great information. Truly use a ton of your tips. Much love to u both

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks man!

[@yvesst-jacques3989]

Hi, I Personally installed the same kind of hood protector knowing it would be a pain to remove it and could cause damage underneath, but with Ford pour paint quality it's even worse doing nothing to protect it, had so many chips in the paint at this exact place in only 300 km, it is a pain to remove but protect way better than doing nothing 😉 but for sure you need lots of patience to remove it 😅

[@johnhufnagel]

and regarding "disposable" towels, most of my micro fiber towels are the inexpensive (but still good quality) big box store packs. Granted i'm not a full time detailer, but for me most of the time I'm 1 and done with them. They get cycled through various use stages, depensing on contamination... outside wash inside wipe down wheel wipe hand washing general automotive cleanup eventually they just get bad enough they'll get used to soak up some oil/chemical spill, then into the trash they go.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks for sharing. Yup. That’s pretty much what we do also

[@KingTheDetailer]

I just removed OEM ppf from a Lexus that's 6 years old from the hood , side mirrors and lower panels. What a headache

[@bryanfugate2272]

Great Video, Phil. That did not look like a lot of fun.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks! Yeah it sucked!!

[@0-60STYLE]

Ugh I'm removing one on a car right now and it's so annoying. And vinyl that has been there for 8 years. So annoying

[@TripleGAutoDetailing]

Great video Phil. Tell us how you really feel about plastic "protectors" that go on with double stick tape. 😂 I charge top dollor for removals as such. Very time-consuming. Absolutely LOVE Vonixx products. ❤️

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks man! 🤣😎👍🏼

[@ismaelcarrerojr7124]

I agree with you Phil, could you use the the eraser wheel to remove the adhesive or you probably wouldn't agree with me but what about gasoline to remove the gummy residue that the adhesive left behind? Awesome video.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Yeah but the wheel makes a huge mess. I hated using it, so I stopped years ago. Gas can work , but I cant use that since it smells so bad in the garage. but Im sure it dissolves the glue also.

[@robsx4280]

Great result Phil, looks way better now 👍

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks! Definitely does!

[@markrendon250]

Mr Phil, This is fantastic work. As mentioned, I bought some Koch Chemie Eulex for my next project. Also, I’d been wondering and considering what else to use for chrome exhaust tips. Nice to see the mention of Renegade Rebel Red. I need something stronger for some of the jobs I do. Thanks Mr Phil! Thank you also for not quitting based on analytics. Some of us may not be high on the analytics of what drives KZbin but we are high on you and what you provide. Respectfully, Rendon Eagle Eye Mobile Detailing Enterprise, Alabama

[@Cumminspower365]

Great job Phil question how do you handle the pollen when detailing !

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hio. thanks. Pollen sucks, usually we just try to keep the vehicle wet as we work around it quickly.

[@rleger123]

Never thought you could remove the double sided tape with the DIY waterless (Yvan would be proud), you could most probably remove all the sticky stuff with their DIY tree sap remover, from what I understand

[@MirandaDetailing]

Actually that was used just to clean the dirt off the surface before I used the Strike and Eulex as the residue remover.

[@curtisharper7042]

Hello Phil. I’m glad to see that you still posting your videos. That was very inconsiderate of the owner to even purchase a vehicle with a bug shield on it. Glad to see that you’re still around. @keeinpupmydetailgame

[@greymark420]

Wonderful outcome phil and Jess.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks man!

[@greymark420]

@@MirandaDetailing 👍

[@alexpope5327]

Great video thanks for the content. I definitely have never been a fan of those, or the leather "bra" style covers either. At least those you just slip off 😀. And I am a big fan of Eulex, it is a sledge hammer chemical but sometimes needed 😀. I keep their TEA on hand too, it's a little lighter and safe for plastics.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks! Yeah the best option is PPF, and the good stuff, not the cheap stuff.

[@richardseem7948]

Awesome video and content good friend

[@Spirited282]

Amazing job as always, that protector and what it left behind looked nasty.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks!

[@ericwright1075]

Nice video. How long did it take to remove that piece of crap hood protector and repair the marks? Please keep doing these information spots. 🇨🇦👍👍

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks! It took us about an hour+ remove the visor and polish the area.

Good video cheers

Thanks 👍

I’m a big WeatherTech fan since they are about 15 miles from me, they are the title sponsor for IMSA, and I do a side gig as a photographer at some IMSA races, but that hood protector is horrible.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks for sharing 😎👍🏼

[@jonnyshielldetailing]

What a massive BALL ACHE , that stuff looks crappie and looks horrible. Great job pal

[@MirandaDetailing]

Totally! It was a pain!!

[@hughtollett7200]

What happens when you buy cheap. I've been putting the deflectors on my trucks for years. Never had any problems like you see here.

[@alexbryan7641]

That was a weathertech deflector. I wouldn’t consider that cheap

[@MirandaDetailing]

Are deflecters you use have double stick tape? Or are they the screw on version?

[@VictorHernandez-nt3tw]

I just bought a hood protector for you to install. Can you do it for me? LOL!

[@MirandaDetailing]

@@MirandaDetailingyou're welcome

[@davidm6256]

Taking that hood protector off I would think about heating it from inside out, open the hood and heat it up, do you think it would be easier that way?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Heating up the metal from the underside would take a crazy amount of heat to soften the double stick tape. Unfortunately it wouldn't work. Sometimes it just takes time and patiance.

Been there😮

the iroc-z camaro had also Hood Protector .this looks better with out the Hood Protector perhaps 2 screws and a bolt than you have to drill in the hood with out looks cleaner

[@alexbryan7641]

Phil im curious why you didn’t use an eraser wheel? Would that not have been faster? No hate just genuinely curious lol. Great video as always buddy!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks. I have used those in the past and they make a huge mess. I stopped using them a long time ago.

[@alexbryan7641]

@@MirandaDetailing ok gotcha. Fair enough lol

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

I removed three of those so far, and I didn't like the wheel since it's kind of difficult to keep the distance steady from the panel. I used Koch Chemie Eulex so it would remove not only the glue, but when I let it dwell first besides using the blower, it was easy to remove it. The third one I removed, I used DIY Detail sap remover since also works for tar and glue

[@theunkownmr.562]

What do you recommend for cleaning exhaust soot on black powder coated exhaust tips?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. For those you cant polish them or be too aggressive. Usually i just use an iron decon cleaner and brush and then i use a towel and wipe them down with a spray detailer. i hate those becasue yoiu cant clean them normally like chrome.

[@theunkownmr.562]

@@MirandaDetailing I see. Good to know. I have iron remover so I'll try that out. Thanks! 👌

[@davidm6256]

I have a question for you, Sunday I detailed a car and the hood had bad oxidation on it, I cleaned it up and brought it back to the original color, I polished the whole car and put a protective sealer on it, ok the question is, I charged 300$ for the whole job, I have a hard time figuring out what I should charge for that, can you give me some ideas? Thank you

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. How many hours did it take? Usually for any heavy paint correction we charge $900+. For a one step or our paint enhancement we start at $500.

[@davidm6256]

@@MirandaDetailing started at 9am and finished at 3:30 pm

[@MirandaDetailing]

I would bump up the prices to at least $500 for polishing and anything more extensive $900+

[@MirandaDetailing]

@davidm6256 you’re welcome. Yeah start out with your current prices and slowly increase the price until you feel it’s fair for both you and the customers. That’s we did. I started out charging $300 like you for that amount of work and slowly got to where we are now.

Great video ! what can I do when washing big truck like this by myself to prevent stuff from drying out by the time I get to the other side everything is totally dry how can I split it in half idk

[@MirandaDetailing]

The only way is work in sections and keep the other sections wet or get DI water filters.

[@jjjjjjjjjjjhjjjjjhjj]

@@MirandaDetailing thanks I do have DI water but soap dries up fast outside in sun, how do you recomend doing the sections and splitting it up ?

[@MirandaDetailing]

@jjjjjjjjjjjhjjjjjhjj good. Just wash and rinse each side at a time. The do water won’t leave water spots. And good soaps also don’t stain or leave spots on the paint when using DI water.
