Amazing car and great channel man I love the C8 but why on earth would you matte it out on Torch Ted?! Maybe on a dark Gray or black. Torch Red needs to shine! ✨✨✨✨

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thank you! I think if you saw it in person you would reconsider.

[@ProtectiveDadPranks]

Now this is a “How To Video” 🔥

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thanks, Steve!

[@billthompson9595]

glad to see you using at least 2 mitts. i have been using 3 mitts with the 3rd used for lower portion and wheels. Thanks

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Absolutely! If the car was dirtier I would have used 2 buckets as well. Both of my Vettes don't get dirty very often, though.

[@user-xp8qz1cc8z]

Officially my favorite channel!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thank you!!!

[@Hokagebam]

Thank you for all the links!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

You’re very welcome 👍👍

[@bluejayrover]

Two bucket method works much better. Also on the C8, I cover the back window engine bay vents with damp towels to keep water from going in the engine. On the doors IH eve Expel only on the bottom 1/3 and none on the back/engine lid cover; so mostly in front. and lower sides.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

The two bucket method is a huge waste of time if the car isn't insanely dirty. My cars are very rarely ever dirty enough to constitute needing the two bucket method.

[@markroath98]

Just the video I was wanting to see. I purchased a Tesla Model Y and I had an installer put XPEL PPF and Ceramic Coating on my vehicle. I was unsure how to wash and protect it, and your video answered all my questions.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Glad I could help! Let me know if you have any other questions!

I’ve been waiting 15 months now to place my order for a C8.... it’s now become a 2021, I have 3 orders ahead of me before I can order.. I’m hoping soon.

When you run out of the gold class if you’re feeling experimental try their Hyperwash. Great stuff, I probably won’t buy anything else again!

Hi Justin, where is the link for the master blaster? That's an amazing product

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Hey man, you can find it here: amzn.to/2HXESue. Oddly enough, it's the same one I purchased and I've had mine for almost 7 years! 😲

[@seanproctor]

Sweet video. I'm going to get your set up installed in my garage for my new '21 E63s, grey magno paint, Xpel Stealth PPF and Xpel ceramic coat. What is the benefit of getting the Total Stop & Hot Water pressure washer vs standard model? Might be a stupid question but I haven't purchased one of these before. Which one do you have? I did just order the No Spot Pro last night using your link. Thanks!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Thank you! The total stop system stops the pump when the trigger on your gun isn't pulled, meaning, the pump isn't always running. You don't need the HOT version unless you actually use hot water through the system but when I purchased mine there was no difference in price so I figured I'd get it just in case.

[@jasona4881]

Thx for the video what ceramic coating did you apply on the Xpel ppf?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

XPEL fusion plus. They formulated it specifically for going on top of ppf.

[@daveboffey7109]

I didn't see where you got the Master Blaster from in your description below

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I got it from here: amzn.to/2JGR17F

[@triplercampingresort8069]

Hey Dustin, can you cha he the. Brake pads so they dont shed so much?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Yes you definitely can. Ceramic pads help with dust quite a bit. I may do it in the future.

[@ryanyoshimura4652]

This motivated me to go outside and wash my car. I was quickly reminded that I have none of the necessary items.....including the car. Darn it! Question: is xpel swirl mark proof?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Yes it is! That's the big thing with XPEL, especially on my black ZR1. Small scratches will self heal so there's no worry of swirl marks, which are very visible on black.

[@rpop5023]

Great video. Just wondering what product you use for tire shine?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I use a few different kinds but I've actually come to really like this stuff: amzn.to/36qWAQb

[@rpop5023]

@@HorsePowerObsessed I have to try it. I’m currently using Meguires endurance gel. I find it lasts longer than the others I tried.

That's one of the others that I use. The stuff I posted is very comparable to that.

Where did you get your Master Blaster blower and what model number

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I got it on Amazon from this exact link: amzn.to/2JGR17F

[@anthony3953]

How do you like the ar? The sound bother you or is it bearable ?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Love it! With it being wall mounted I don't even hear it when washing the car outside of the garage.

[@zoomtt]

Does the matte expel show more dirt compared to when it's shiny?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

No. In fact I think it's the opposite.

[@officemaynard3424]

What pressure do set the pressure washer at?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

With the 4.0 orifice nozzle I use it puts out about 1000 PSI.

[@sfgarry]

Buddy, so the pressure washer looks very good and high end, but Is is too much for me washing my C8 & Z 06 ever other week in my driveway? Also does the Foam Cannon connect to the pressure washer or the hose?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

It is a semi expensive setup but you'll literally never have to buy another one. The foam cannon goes on the pressure washer gun but if you want to use a regular garden hose you can use this option instead: amzn.to/2KImUO1

[@sfgarry]

I’ll get a nice setup like you have so I’ll actually want to use it. Thanks for replying

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

You're welcome! It's a great setup and will last a long time. I have a video showing how to set it up and links all the products.

[@QJHKI]

How often do you wash your car? Is it wise to daily drive a car with ppf stealth? I'm seeing some opinions on forums and they said it caught dirt very easy. I want to wrap my normal gloss car to this xpel stealth to give it a different look.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I wash the car maybe once every 2 weeks and I pretty much daily drove the C8 Corvette for two summers straight. I actually noticed the opposite. The stealth XPEL seemed to handle dirt better than the gloss version in my opinion.

[@QJHKI]

@@HorsePowerObsessed that's unexpected. Your single opinion might make me drop 6k for this ppf stealth haha. Thanks!

[@curth1337]

What is the blower dryer you use in the video?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

It’s called a master blaster. amzn.to/3HvzMRN

[@curth1337]

@@HorsePowerObsessed thank you sir!!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

You’re very welcome!

[@danmcsweeney3396]

Is ceramic coating necessary with the ppf. I'm waiting for my 2021 and uncertain about ppf with concerns about edges lifting? Overall life span? Residual adhesive removal with a do-over?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

With the correct installer none of those will be a concern. Ceramic coating on top of PPF is a life saver when it comes to washing the car and additional protection.

[@danmcsweeney3396]

In your opinion. What's the cost to ppf a C8. Total protection - front to back?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

5k to 6k, if done by a shop that knows what they're doing. That part is more important than the film itself. If you're local or Pennsylvania I would suggest using blackout tinting.

[@danmcsweeney3396]

Yep. I live about 45 minutes west of Blackout. I noticed your PA plate. What city are you in?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I live in Irwin. Blackout Tinting is the best detail shop I've ever used and unfortunately, I've seen some really bad ones that still charge top dollar. If you're that close to Blackout that's definitely where you should go.

[@mikeschwartz2873]

How much did that wrap cost? I like the mat finish, but not sure if it is worth it. thanks

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

XPEL stealth is between 5k and 6k depending on the experience of the installer.

[@mikeschwartz2873]

Thank you for the reply. I think that seems fair.

[@joeyt5168]

I literally watched this whole video to see how to apply ceramic boost and you didn’t show it. When I applied it today, I spray it on the panel, wiped it, and it was gone. It says to dry it after the wipe, but it was dry when I wiped it. Not sure if maybe the panel was too hot or something else.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Each panel only needs one or two sprays and right after you spray you wipe it in and then buff it off.

[@Kingramela]

No tire shine?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I put some on after the fact but there's not really a clever way of doing that. 😜

[@toddfpacker6793]

Hey Justin, c7 z06 or C8??? As a whole..... which one?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

If both are automatics, probably the C8. If you would get the C7 Z06 as a manual, hands down the C7 Z06. In auto form they are very, VERY even but with the manual option the C7 wins.
