There are a few channels I would go to for product insights, Brian from Apex will continue to prove his value to this industry. The information he provides to his viewers is incredibly selfless, valuable and appreciated . You do an incredible job providing the ease of application process, gloss readings, product’s integrity via torture test , then based on your years of experience- a reflection. You give your viewers a non-biased opinion that helps us make a decision for ourselves. Keep showing new products so we can decipher whether or not the products are a marketing gimmick or practical for our applications. For those that don’t know, the Schaffer’s Citrol 266 used in the torture test, is one of the strongest tar removers available! Any product that can withstand that test is incredible. Keep the content coming Brian, you are great at what you do!

I have several customers that have complained about water spots after washing their ceramic coated cars using our municipal water which has lots of minerals in it. Most people don’t want to have to deal with learning how to use water spot removers.
