Great job Easton! Rick you have a worthy legacy!

[@RADGarage]

@@diydetailofficial There ya go Easton! The DIY Detail seal of approval! 🤘

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Your nephew is now one of us! I’m always happy to see the next generation picking up the passion of detailing! Driving a clean car is such a great feeling!

[@RADGarage]

@@PanTheOrganizer He definitely has a similar mindset to us! He’s off to a great start. Thanks for supporting him and me so much, Pan. You’re RAD and I will see you soon!

Rad Garage video on a Friday night? What a beautiful way to start the weekend! Thank you!

[@RADGarage]

I was feeling frisky.

[@BreezeMW]

To have someone in your corner (especially your uncle) that is able to guide you through dialing in your Bimmer at such a young age must be a pretty cool experience! You can tell Easton is a total car guy and he’s really advanced his washing techniques since the last video he starred in and it makes me wish I had his skills/guidance at his age. He definitely has the coolest Uncle around and I bet he appreciates you more than you know Rick, as well as many of us that watch your videos. Stay RAD

[@RADGarage]

I don't know about me being the coolest uncle around, but I will gladly take the compliment. It is nice to have shared passions with family members. I anticipate my own son will catch the bug once he reaches driving age. Thanks for watching and I really appreciate your supportive and positive comment.

[@scootytamra]

Wow Easton, you take care of your Beemer beautifully! You learned from the BEST!!! Keep up the awesome work and care! Your car is awesome!!!!

[@RADGarage]

@@scootytamra Thanks so much!

I love to watch water bead and fly off a coated car! It's thrilling!

[@RADGarage]

@@scootytamra I agree. Highly satisfying. Next project is washing my car after its recent road trip.

[@henriquepinto9652]

Hi Rick, I hope your vacation is going great. Your nephew's car is well looked after. I still remember when I went there for the first time. I loved the video at the time, uncle and nephew together taking care of the car.

[@RADGarage]

I think he gets a real thrill out of using my garage and equipment to take care of his pride and joy! I'm happy to oblige.

[@ratton5028]

Hi Rick 🖐 Wow a video on a Friday night, we are going to get spoiled! You must be proud of your nephew, Easton, for taking such interest in looking after his car after last year’s coating video. He certainly did a great job washing it once or twice a week. I am impressed how the DIY coating is looking after its first year tackling the Calgary roads and weather, it certainly looks like a winner! Easton deserves a 🏅for a good job. Cheers!!..🏅😎

[@RADGarage]

@@ratton5028 Yes, Friday evening for a bit of change. Easton has impressed me immensely. He is just like I was at that age but he has a lot more products to help him than I did!

[@rubenharris9241]

Another masterpiece on featuring a product line Rick. Hard to believe that car is 10 years old and has been through the tough climate that it has. Great job to both kids in front of and behind the camera btw!

[@RADGarage]

@@rubenharris9241 Thanks for the compliment. Having both boys involved was the best part of it all. The results were a close second. 🤘

[@RADGarage]

Yeah, I think he did a better job of taking care of his car over the past year than I did!

[@Riverguide33]

A wistful reminder of my first car…the pride and care. This vid (and the original) put a smile on my face. 👍

[@RADGarage]

@@Riverguide33 There is something pure about it.

[@lazyjacket]

Turned out great. It looked like it needed some TLC. Great that you did it together so he now has the knowledge to step up his washes from time to time. 😊

[@clintrockabar8100]

Sunday morning, coffee, and Rad Garage... Easton is a lucky young man, both to have such a sweet looking car, and for having an uncle willing to help him keep his ride looking amazing! Thanks for sharing, Rick! it looks like the coating is holding up extremely well; the DIY Details coatings are on my list of products I'd like to try. If you could continue to post long-term updates, that would be fantastic, I'd certainly be interested in seeing how the 5-year coating does as time goes on. Thanks again for sharing, and nice work, Easton!

[@RADGarage]

@@clintrockabar8100 Yes, he has done a formidable job of keeping his car and coating fresh. He’s probably done better than me to be honest. Let’s have him back next summer or sooner to see how it goes.

[@MikeGDetailing]

Great video. He has done a great job maintaining the coating that was on it as it’s performing great.

[@RADGarage]

It was an all-round excellent outcome. I’m happy for him. That car looks amazing for its age.

[@Spirited282]

Another great video Rick. It is awesome to see family share interests. Your nephew did an awesome job.

[@RADGarage]

He, like many young people, began to take a serious interest in detailing when he got his first car which was a really nice Jetta. But, he is absolutely in love with his 328i, so it is just wonderful that I can help fan the flames of his detailing passion. Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment.

[@mdoyal111]

Your nephew has done a great job of keeping up with the car! Great video Rick!

[@RADGarage]

Yes, I agree. Considering he has to go to the coin-op with his buckets in the dead of winter, I'd say he is doing well.

Beau travail Rick et c'est bien une vidéo le vendredi 👌

J'essaie juste de voir si cela fait une différence avec les performances de la vidéo. J'ai constaté une baisse drastique du nombre de vues de mes vidéos cet été, ce qui est légèrement décevant compte tenu de la quantité de travail que j'y consacre. KZbin est un monde cruel et méchant.

[@jeffc6832]

Uncle Rick is teaching him right! Looks like he's been doing a great job taking care of his car. The coating looked great before, but that DIY WSR is magic in a bottle for coating maintenance (especially for those of us up north). C6 Mist is quickly becoming my favorite drying aid. It's not cheap, but is amazingly slick without stacking up durable (and inferior) protection on top of the coating like so many other toppers/drying aids. I just want my coating to be clean and doing what it was designed to do. Great work guys!

[@RADGarage]

@@jeffc6832 I was very impressed with his fortitude. To wash his car that regularly over the course of a Canadian calendar year shows true dedication.

[@albertoquintana8925]

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

Easton, you are very fortunate to have an Uncle like Rick. One question, did apply iron remover to wheels & wheel wells?

[@RADGarage]

We did not use iron remover on the wheels. I have never thought of using iron remover in the wheel wells. We just gave those a good rinse with the pressure washer.

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

@@RADGarage I use iron remover around wheel wells because of brake dust & metal shavings. As you may notice, rust usual starts around wheel wells, so when I treat a car with iron remover, I always hit the wells. And around door jams, especially underneath doors also gets a treatment...

[@RADGarage]

I will take that advice to "hart"! LOL

[@AlexSandro-wt1xm]

Hi Rick, I'm Alessandro, I remember your nephew's BMW 328i, I congratulate him from Italy, he is really good and I see he is learning well, from a great MASTER, his Majesty "RICK", I wanted to ask you a question about the process carried out, you washed keeping last year's protective, Ceramic coating, when you decontaminated (iron remover) and cleaned from water stains (water spot remover) can't you reinsert the Ceramic coating, or put a hydrophobic product like Sio2? Anyway, I congratulate you, well done, a nice video, say hello to your nephew, as always you are the best Rick, who knows if I will be able to reach your level, here the temperatures are still high and not having a garage like yours to keep cool, it becomes impossible to work outside, I'm looking for a place to make a garage to start, let's hope we find something, take care Rick and I hope your nephew reads my message, I care, Greetings from Alessandro from Italy bye😉👍✌🍁🇨🇦

[@RADGarage]

That's a good question Alessandro. There is no need to reapply the coating since it will last for years. The issue is, the coating cannot perform well if it becomes clogged and contaminated. So, this video was just that, bringing the properties of the coating back to life by decontaminating and flushing the embedded chemicals out of the paint. We did use Mist by C6 Ceramics at the very end to add a bit of gloss and slickness to the paint. The coating is doing its job.

[@AlexSandro-wt1xm]

@@RADGarage Thank you dear Rick, I am very pleased to know this information, then in any case your nephew's car is well maintained, surely when you drive on the streets it gets contaminated a little after several days, it always depends where you go, but this would be the appropriate procedure when you want to maintain a protective like Ceramic Coating, when you see the cars shining it is nice to see them like this but many people do not know that behind this there is hard work to obtain these results.....congratulations again Rick to you and your nephew, well done....greetings from Italy

[@аппрвпаре]

Rick, been a huge fan of your channel since about 2018 or so. I will say im rather confused…. For the amount of cinematic talent, passion, and overall demeanor in which you conduct your videos along with shout outs from very large channels (Pan, OG, DIY, etc) how there are still less than 40k ppl subscribed…. Surely theres something im missing here?

[@RADGarage]

@@briankellerman8902 I know. I was hoping to boost the numbers this summer but it doesn’t seem to matter what I do. I’m trying to just do my thing and not be too concerned, but it would seem I’m not doing right by the KZbin gods. 🤷‍♂️
