[@TheCarDetailingChannel]

This channel deserves way more love and attention folks … we must support this man’s work as much as possible by Liking, commenting, subscribing (it’s free) and most importantly … watching the videos all the way through. Amazing video Rick! Audi is truly one of my favourite car makers and I can’t wait to own one .

[@RADGarage]

Thanks for your support! It means a lot.

One thing that I love is when you see the protection actually rejecting the car soap/shampoo♥ It shows that the car is actually being taken care of😍🚗🧼👍

[@RADGarage]

All credit to the Ethos Graphene that I laid down two years ago. This car is not babied and that coating is still standing up. 💪

[@Detailing-Dad]

Going to settle down with a beer later and enjoy this Canadian UK 🇬🇧 crossover…👍👍👍👍

[@RADGarage]

We are united!

[@neilwalker5041]

For a daily driver in your climate to still reject the soap after two years speaks volumes about the coating. I’m glad your on summer break because your videos are simply in another level in regards to production. The new product line looked effective with the foam wash looking thick but still runny. The wheel cleaner looked really effective and hopefully smelled better than eggs. For a nine year old car this Audi has really aged gracefully. Thank you for another great video!

[@RADGarage]

Thanks for your insights Neil. Yes, that coating is holding up remarkably well given the abuse it has endured. It has not been religiously "topped" up either, so that's really saying something. Whether it is the graphene additive, who can say, but it was impressive. The Stjarnagloss products were good, but I need to get to know them a bit better to see if I can squeeze a bit more performance out of them. I found the wheel cleaner to be good, but it kind of disappeared and required reapplication a few times. Same story with the Bubblor. Good at first, but then kind of disappeared and needed a few extra shots in the bucket with pressure washer. The snow foam was a hit, though. I really liked it. I'm staring a Porsche tomorrow and I am anticipating this will be a big one. I'll do my best to get this video done for next Saturday morning.

Those mobile dent repair guys, the experienced ones, are worth their weight in gold. The psychological impact those small dents(chips too)have on us can be traumatic. 🤣 Great video as usual Rick.

[@waynefromnewfoundland8740]

Always a great video Rick. But the comment from your dent guy about how Audi “metal” responds to dent repair and even some some aggressive dents. Awesome machines to begun with and then you get a testimonial from someone who does aftermarket repairs, kinda adds even more value to the brand. Till the next one.

[@RADGarage]

I was happy to hear that as well! Next one begins on Monday. Porsche!

[@nomad509]

I am not here in your garage often enough. Everytime I come back you amaze me with the quality of your work. Not only the detailing but the filming, editing and feel. I hope you and your family are doing fine.

[@RADGarage]

Thanks for dropping by once again, my friend. I was very happy with how a simple maintenance was translated to the finish of this gorgeous RS5. I guess a lot of the credit goes to the layer of Ethos Graphene I laid down on her a few years ago.

[@Codriver72]

@@RADGarage This might seem like a small thing but I ordered Ethos Graphene (with a huge shipping cost) after I saw one of your videos. I have applied it to my Lexus and it is looking fantastic a year on. So you do inspire me even if I am not hanging out in your garage as often as I used to.

[@RADGarage]

I am not surprised to hear your Ethos coating is still performing well. It is the most durable coating I have experience with. I'm honoured people would look to my work as inspiration.

Looks like that graphene coating is holding up pretty well, do you like it as much as ceramic coatings? Thanks again for the great content, always look forward to the next Rad Garage project!

[@RADGarage]

It has performed better than any other coating I have applied. It outlasted the Gyeon coating on my car that was applied around the same time so that definitely says a lot about its durability. I’m working on a project at the moment and about to hit up Carzilla to see what coating they suggest for this one. Gotta run…

[@davestewart9146]

Thanks Dave. The car looked amazing after a little wash session.

[@gregorypollet6106]

Audi time baby as Austin Powers may say 😁! Shout out to your friend Jamie for the PDR always amazing to see how these guys can "feel the material" and bend it to their will 🤩 Glad to see the RS5 back for a maintenance wash. I am so astonished how pristine the paint is despite it is a daily driven one. Thanks for sharing with us your feelings about Starjnagloss products, which are slowly showing up in France. I think I will stick to my routine and keep on using Gyeon products which never let me down since a few years now. Due to heat wave in South of France, it is not that easy to pamper our cars so I am considering to go for rinseless wash if my wife is OK to buy a bunch of fluffy microfibers 😜. Still a bit afraid to induce some marring or micro scratching to be honest... Enjoyed that video as always ! Stay RAD Gregg 🤟🤘

[@RADGarage]

This daily driver does have some minor paint issues here and there, but the glossy black does a nice job of obscuring them from camera view. If you get yourself a bunch of high quality microfibre towels, you will have nothing but success with a ONR-style wash. Just go easy and get a feel for the process. Take care, Gregg. 🤘

[@michaelweisner5550]

That Silke detail sprays is really good stuff. There are others I like better , but its pretty good.

Awesome performance after 2 years with Ethos Graphene Matrix Coating. I’m seeing similar hydrophobics and gloss. Silver Infinity M37X.

Great video sir. Also really appreciate the breakdown of your thoughts on each product in the description. I’ve heard that the brand is a bit overhyped & underperforming. I picked up a few Detail Firm products from your videos on them and I’ve been enjoying them a lot so far. Thank you Rick! 🙏🏻

[@RADGarage]

I do really like the overall approach and "feel" of the Stjarnagloss line, but some of the products I tried left me somewhat overwhelmed. Not to say I didn't like them, but some brands had me raving after my initial experience. I will need to get more accustomed to this Stjarnagloss stuff. I was instantly a fan of the Detail Firm products I used. That is maybe my second favourite brand at the moment. I'm putting NV at the top.

[@souljatom974]

Thanks a lot Rick for sharing your amazing job 🙏🏽 to be honest you have one of the best edited videos on KZbin. 🔥 I have one question, why you don’t make detailing as a complete job ?

[@RADGarage]

That’s how much faith and trust I have in my CarPro mitt and Grit Guard bucket setup. On clean cars such as this, I feel no need to use the rinse bucket. I do on winter washes of my own car though.

[@1983dmd]

@@RADGarage I agree with your logic ! Great work...

[@kenmartin756]

I have two questions:. When rinsing after foaming, why do you start at the bottom and work your way up? Also what causes those "rings" to appear when hand washing the hood. Mine does that too. I am thinking it is the ceramic coating doing it's job. Great video.

[@RADGarage]

Hi Ken. I like to work from the bottom up when pressure washing the foam off the car. This ensures the foam is still present when I get to all portions of the vehicle. If you go from top down, by the time you get to the lower portions of the car, the foam has already been rinsed away. The circles you see is, like you say, the coating doing its job and giving the water no chance to adhere itself to the paint. I was quite amazed the Ethos Graphene coating was still performing so effectively after two winters.

[@francoisc.5486]

With a house building in process, I was planning to buy some detailing gear and products, but I realized that here in switzerland, you are not allowed to waterwash your car outside of dedicated stations. So, I guess I'll continue visiting the auto-carwash even when I'll have a proper garage where I could technically do it :(

[@RADGarage]

Yeah, we have lots of residential restrictions as well, thus the garage drain project. Good luck with your new housing project. Maybe I'll come visit one day.

[@SnakeDoctor5104]

Is there a reason why you prefer to rinse with just the garden hose, as opposed to the pressure washer?

[@RADGarage]

Quicker, easier and gives me more control. The pressure rinse of the foam got in all the right gaps, nooks and crannies so the wash rinse is just a matter of getting the soap off as quickly and efficiently as possible. Thanks for the question.

[@madern7]

Is it weird that my car gets this attention every 1.5 weeks. The only difference being I do it outside, with the stuff I bring. Witch most of lays in the trunk organized. (Besides towels because they carry smells). All of the stuff works without power source because I use pay washers. And I bring the wife along and do her car aswel. We kind of make it a little date where we talk and have a drink while we do it. It has become a standard for most weekend evenings and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

[@RADGarage]

Damn, that sounds like my kinda romance! Kudos to you my friend! 👏

[@notdetailing]

Why do you use the garden hose to rinse after contact wash rather than the pressure washer?

[@RADGarage]

I get that question a lot. I don’t see any reason to use the pressure washer when all I’m trying to do is get the soap residue off the car. The garden hose allows me to do that quicker , with less water and without making the garage all steamy. Thanks for the question.
