5 minute work time is seriously impressive. Curious to how it holds up.

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Thank you bro! Yes 5 minutes after flash but can leave there for longer took myself 10-15 minutes to coat one whole half of the vehicle and 5 minutes to level down the whole half. Amazing work time

[@RCdetails203]

Finally someone made a video about this coating…I just bought a 50 ml haven’t tried it yet..also recently ordered a couple waffle pads, 1 wool pad and gold standard polish from diy…my question is you get a nice enough finish using gold standard with the wool pad that you don’t need to go back over it with the waffle pad? Also I heard you can cut with the wool pad and then pop on the waffle pad to finish without wiping in between for a super quick 2 step have you tried this ?

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Niceee!!! Everything you have stated I've done tested and true 💪. As for the two step with the gold standard do a test section first on the worst part of the vehicle. Do that section once you know how many section passes you need for your result you can polish the entire vehicle don't need remove anymore the polish apply polish on your waffle pad and finish off. Very important that method works best in a garage if it's hot I don't suggest it. Just polish 2-3 panels then wipe off or do your second step right after as if it's too hot will dry up the polish. The wool pad you saw live. Finished down super nice no need for a second pass. Only time I'd be careful with this wool pad is black paints as you may leave a slight haze which is much more visible on black paint vs lighter colors it's none existent really 💪

[@RCdetails203]

@@DetailingMadeSimple So what would you use as a cutting pad instead of the wool pad on black paints? Specially General Motors black paint

Hii Great job ! Definitely applying this coating on my daily driver. Thanks for your content , new subscriber here.

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Hey Danny. First off thank you for subscribing. Also, Thank you very much glad you enjoyed the content. 💪. It’s such an easy and amazing coating to apply.

[@robpeluso2852]

Amazing video Soc! I’ve been wanting to check out the EZPZ coating! I had the same thought to use it to replace spray on coatings.

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Thank you bro. For sure!!! Check it out this far it has been great to use. Exactly as you said same thought in replacing spray coatings as it looks easier to apply than spray coatings too. Also rated for longer durability. My guess is after opening you have maybe 2 months or a month and a half to run through it. I don’t know shelf life after opening. You’re a business too. So doing 2-3 vehicles using this in a month is very easy.

[@IamDetailedAF]

On my way so you can teach me. I can turn from Fake Detailer to a Soc professional 👀😎

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

🤣🤣. Come on through my brother.

[@DetailsNMe]

Do you see Ethos coming out with their own compounds/polishes in the future?? This was an awesome video Soc!! Super informative yet to the point !!!!

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Personally I don't it's a tough market to get into especially which a lot of polishes being very very good now and days. Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed the video and content 💪

[@laramsforever9987]

Awesome video and even nicer detailing job! What kind of prep would you recommend for a new (2024) truck, thinking about using Ethos ceramic ezpz. Appreciate your input! Really don't want to touch the clear coat with polishing.

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Thank you! Yeah I would go with any other wash prep and coat as usual. Do a APC rinse, contact wash, decontamination step if needed with iron remover and clay towel and water spot remover to ensure you get rid of all those minerals. Now if the dealer detailed it and has some ceramic sealant. I recommend a polish not to correct but to actually remove the protection left behind then panel prep and coat. 👍 I will link a video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2Pdl4aBjddkmKssi=7uahcPSUJnnhiWvv

[@Redrunnerdetail1323]

Video definitely helped bro !!

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Glad this video helped you out my brother 💪

[@7yrsbadluck]

Great video! How long do you think it would take before leveling if applying in 80-90F temps? Garage does not have AC. And would most likely be working with the humidity as well.

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Thank you. I would say. 10 minutes max is a good window. 5-10 minutes max remember the higher the temp and humidity will settle and need to be removed faster. Just wait until you feel the wipe of is good. If it's hard to wipe off apply more coating wipe off immediately. Move to the next section apply and wait less time until you find out the perfect range 💪

[@beeslandscaping]

Oh yeah 👍🏻

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

💪💪💪

[@michaeljaramillo3285]

Great video SOC. How this compare to DIY 3yr?

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Thank you my brother. Well the diy 3 year is better due to longevity. As the Ethos EZ PZ only last 18-24 months

[@yiann83]

Loving your videos thanks. Would you be able to get enough cut with 15mm throw?

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Thank you glad you enjoyed the video. In this video I was using a 15mm DA. You can get great cut will take a bit longer time about an extra pass or 2 than a 21mm DA.

[@gregorygregorsky5513]

As i wash the vehicle every couple of weeks can i apply turtle wax paint sealant on top of EzPz once its fully cured? Thanks

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Hey Gregory. Yes that is fine you don’t have to top it every wash either. Turtle wax spray sealant is strong too in itself. Just apply it once dry on the paint after it’s fully cured. Then from there just use a regular detail spray with no protection or paint gloss from P&S you don’t want to cake on protection constantly as you’ll get streaking eventually

[@99zman]

How does the wool pad work on the infamous soft gm black paint? What does your process look like? Do you need a second step or is the wool pad good a cutting and finishing? Thanks for your awesome content and tips!!

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

To be honest on a GM paint this will work but you will definitely need to finish down. Unfortunately as an enhancement unfortunately the way I go about it. Would be 2 section passes with wool and 2 section passes with a rotary and finishing pad. That equals to 4 section passes with nice cut and glossy flawless finish!

[@99zman]

@@DetailingMadeSimple Thank you so much for replying! Do you have any videos with your process you described?

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

@@99zman no I do not unfortunately. This is the closest thing on how I got a great enhancement with practically 6 section passes 3 with a compound and 3 with a polish. As sometimes people do 5 section maybe 6 on a paint enhancement and still have less results and impact especially on medium to hard paint. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2WaiaVnZ8eaaNUsi=rXpF-tCfZ76IIckm

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

@@99zman pretty much I show how 2 steps are sometimes better than one and how you can be efficient and practically finish at the same amount of time.

[@oreman011]

Have you worked with EZPZ on a white car? If so, can you still see rainbow effect or can you just let it sit a while because of the work time and not do it by sight?

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Yes I've done it on a white car you can slightly see the rainbow effects. Definitely a lot easier on a cloudy day for sure. But no worries it has a very long work time so no need to worry about it. Just time yourself after applying you can wait 8-10 minutes and will still not have an issue to wipe. 💪

[@JaeHPark-so7dy]

How do you get under the door handle? I have many scratches there. Thank you!

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

For under the door handle I have an extension for a rotary and one inch coned pads. You can get the same result with a medium cut compound and microfiber towel and your hand/fingers. Just the manual labor is frustrating

[@JaeHPark-so7dy]

@@DetailingMadeSimple would DIY gold polish work for this?

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

@@JaeHPark-so7dy depends how deep the scratches are. If pretty deep I recommend a compound instead. If looks like surface not as deep the gold standard does completely fine 👍

@@DetailingMadeSimple thank you! Love your channel!

[@mark7gti125]

So when using standard gold polish no need use compound or it depends on the paint situation? Sorry im a rookie in detailing

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Exactly as you said depends on the paint situation. The gold standard won't cut as a true compound so say if you have hard clear the gold standard won't be the best. But if it's medium or soft paint the wool pad and gold standard combo will cut amazing then swap to the yellow pad as a finishing step. Or just do a one step I know it's confusing but I have a video on choosing the right polishing pad. Watch that video the gold standard polish is just like the polished I used in the video. 💪💪💪

[@howtoreviewanything2615]

So what range of price would this whole job be around?

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

This type of range depending on size of vehicle in my area is $600-$800 remember it's an express polish where we remove 30-40% of the swirls and scratches then it's a one year protection.

[@squidgaming5094]

Do you have a whole lot of experience with the specific coding recently ordered it based off of some sales are going on in my interests and the ethos brand in general however I watched a video of another KZbinr and he showed his update after about 2 to 4 weeks and it appeared that the coding was already starting to fade pretty harshly he mentioned that he thought that maybe a clogged really easily or that he didn't let it cure long enough wanted to see if you had any opinions on this or not as I like the pricing is coding and it looks like it's super simple and easy to use but if it fails after several weeks then I don't think that it's worth it

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

I've only used it this far so far since I've installed in on 4 vehicles non have showed any degradation yet. Only time will tell. This is a coating that i realistically tell people it's a 16-24 month coating tops!!! Who was the other detailer having issues?? Jamie, Eddie?💪💪

[@squidgaming5094]

@@DetailingMadeSimple Jamie! he mentioned maybe not allowing it to cure long enough etc! I know he nor you throw your names around products that are junk so Im hopeful itll survive, Id be happy with 1 year

[@JCoova87]

What polisher are you using?

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

This polisher is the cordless SPTA 15mm DA. I purchased this 2 years ago and still going strong. But I use makita batteries mainly on them as the older batteries don’t charge well. It’s a cheap economical polisher cost $200 at the time. Especially for it being cordless is a plus!!

[@btbd2785]

What do you use for both tire dressing and tire coatings?

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

I’m not a huge fan of tire coatings the only one I used is BLAK. That’s the product last a good 6 months. Tire dressings I use a variety they all pretty much last the same time. We are talking tire dressings here not tire sealants. DIY Tire Lotion, ADS Tire conditioner, Labo Nero, Drive Tire and trim gel, Carpro Perl etc all will give you 1-2 rainstorms or 2 weeks perfect weather/1 rain storm

[@btbd2785]

@DetailingMadeSimple Yeah, the BLACK, GLOSS, SATIN, etc is a good line up. It's good hecause BLACK has a dye in it too! Lonestar is also a great tire coating to use. it actually lasts along time! As in 4-6 months!

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

@@btbd2785 nicccceee. Yeah BlaK I used last 4-6 months but that’s about it. You’re washing and have to wipe down your tires regardless so applying a tire dressing is not big deal

[@derrickabare9986]

Am i the only one left that uses a rotory? Lol . Good video.

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

We still use the rotary here. It's just not as popular as a DA especially if doing a one step with a wool pad for extra cut. Then we are just leaving holograms

[@derrickabare9986]

@DetailingMadeSimple i hear you . I have like 6 da's and 4 rotorys . When I started detailing in the early 80s there was no da . A da was a guy downtown you probably didn't want to see. Lol. I keep going back to the rotory. Just 2nd nature 2 me .

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

@@derrickabare9986 yeah I love the rotary to. Especially for that extra nice gloss. We use the rotary for these 3 cases. If we are doing a two step my wife and I use the rotary for cutting and finishing as a two step. Cut with DA and finish with rotary. Or if it’s a brand new car with minimal scratches and marring just finish with a Rotary to make that gloss pop. DA is great for efficiency just get great cut with no holograms in one step. But that’s for the people who budget can only fit a one step 😅

[@AZULYORO4LIFE]

I use ceramic wax and man i really like it I though adams was super but ethos is bomba

[@DetailingMadeSimple]

Yeah ethos ceramic wax is great as well too! That’ll be a great topper to add on this coating just to boost longevity. Adams has good stuff too

My takeaway from your polishing is how easy you work.. i always feel like I rush too much... I need to learn to work more calmly...control, control. You must learn control (yoda voice)
