We have lots of pollen falling here in southeastern North Carolina. I would enjoy a “efficient strategies for weekly pollen remover” video.

Toujours instructif de regarder des vidéos avec vous, j'adore vos différentes méthodes et produits. Je ne sais pas si Nick comprend le français mais si possible de parfois faire une vidéo en français. 🤪 good job

[@diydetailofficial]

Ont va en faire bientôt.

Christine's little leg lift everytime she reached was so adorable I could hardly stand it 😂

[@diydetailofficial]

She has strategies to overcome her lack of height

You guys are doing some serious business. Most of the website is sold out constantly. I can't even get an order in!

[@diydetailofficial]

We are working diligently to increase stock levels. Thanks for your patience

[@neilwalker5041]

Excellent video and this is a solid process. I cannot wait to see the polishing and ceramic coating steps. Electric cars are cool as they are accelerate hard. Audi also makes a wonderful sounding V8 which is music to the ears. Tough choice.

[@diydetailofficial]

That V8 sound

[@ac7384]

How is your c6 ceramic diff from current coatings. And when will it be available

[@diydetailofficial]

Very different, stay tuned

[@acquiesce1064]

In a previous video on the Milwaukee Rotary Polisher, you mentioned a 6 in backing plate, which brand did you guys use?

[@diydetailofficial]

Lake Country

[@wademiyataki9221]

Very professional of Yvan not to laugh about the name of the vehicle on camera.😁

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@BrentMcDonald-t5t]

One step,forward, 2 steps back guys. Now I’m confused. In another video you used water spot remover after the all clean presoak but before the contact wash. I think you guys really need to dial in an SOP for your process as it seems to change all the time.

[@diydetailofficial]

It depends what we are trying to accomplish.

[@ocdddetailing]

hay id love to meet both of you meaning nick and ivan in omaha for a coffee sometime

[@diydetailofficial]

Cool, send me an email yvan at DIY Detail.com

When will the Clay Towel, All Clean, Iron Remover, and Water Spot Remover be back in stock on amazon? My car needs some lovin'!

[@diydetailofficial]

In the next few weeks, but check with our distributors, they may have them in stock

[@stevenv9224]

Wow your new place looks like the old one. 🤣😂🤣 just kidding

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@liampoore2038]

If I use my rinse less wash bucket for the iron and clay towel step, can I wash another car with it? Do I need to dump it out? Are all your products biodegradable?

[@diydetailofficial]

No need to dump it out, yes they are biodegradable

[@alexandersubirana350]

So, why Incredible Suds and mitts, instead of Rinseless + sponge for the contact wash? Is there an advantage?

[@diydetailofficial]

We feature different methods regularly

[@bluegrasskid4835]

1:25 Is the step where Tree Sap Remover is used covered in this video and I missed it or in the next video?

[@diydetailofficial]

Next

[@bluegrasskid4835]

@diydetailofficial OK. For some reason, I was thinking it would come after the wash but before the Iron Remover.

[@dannydaugherty5702]

There is nothing better than a car covered in suds! I’m the type of person that if it’s not all soaped 🧼 up like that I feel it’s not getting clean! Love the new DIY products 👏 I have used the waterless wash/ incredible suds and multi-purpose on my new car and Love ❤️ it! Thanks for the video guys! Keep up the good work ☝️✨💦

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@briansilva3061]

Ivan and Nick, I prepped my GR 86 with all the prep materials and GS polish wirh orbital sander and applied the 3 year coating. Ohh my lord is she shiny and slick! I cant wait for the rain tomorrow! Thanks so much guys, shes beautiful!🎉🎉

[@diydetailofficial]

Glad you enjoyed it. If you can please share your experience in our facebook group bit.ly/DIYDetailFacebookGroup

[@TitoCed]

Is the wash process shown in the video enough to strip old wax (collinite 845) off, that was also topped off with ceramic gloss?

[@diydetailofficial]

No, polishing is needed.

[@TitoCed]

@@diydetailofficial okay thanks!

[@superado2k]

I think Christine has been in Witness Protection! Haven't seen her in a WHILE!

[@stephaniemarkey9396]

This is a video that was filmed a while ago, as it's in the old shop. More than likely filmed at the same time as her others.

[@ToddLandholm-ch2ng]

She has decided to step away from social media and concentrate on her family.

I'm wanting to do a Clear Vinyl wrap on certain areas of my car so it doesn't scratch when overlanding as much for high risk areas. What would this products works on vinyl for cleaning and what about the ceramict coating pre vinyl and on top of vinyl?

[@diydetailofficial]

Treat it just like the paint

[@itc9251]

So after it’s decontaminated and you apply the coating I’ve noticed on mine the coating loosing its beading qualities would you say if you clay or decon it that the coating will stay and beading restored ? It’s almost like the dirt and tar spots are forming a layer and no beading ? I keep my cars clean

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes you can decontaminate as needed. If they use salt on the roads where you are, try DIY Detail Water Spot Remover first

[@gseybold]

Was this cutoff before they finished?

[@diydetailofficial]

A little glitch unfortunately

[@DiamondPaintWithDiamondDave]

Yall aint lying about the aroma emissions from Iron Remover...poo actually has a more pleasant bouquet...

[@diydetailofficial]

lol

[@404notfound.....]

Excellent video guy's!!! 👍🏼

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@GabrielGarcia-bf2kn]

That was very enjoyable. My only question is, why not the foam cannon instead of the foamed to lay down the pre wash? The two foam cannon method is something that I think is growing in popularity, I also think foam cannons can lay down the acid step of the water spot remover using something like CarPro’s IronX snow foam. Just a thought 😊

[@diydetailofficial]

We like showing that there is more than one way to detail.

[@GabrielGarcia-bf2kn]

@@diydetailofficial I like that thank you

[@HEMi1995]

@@GabrielGarcia-bf2knthe foaming sprayer is also going to lay down a dryer foam for longer dwell time

Do you guys have a drain under your swisstrax tiles? If not, what do you do about the standing water & chemicals underneath?

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes we do

[@ChiGalKMcAcura]

How often should use WSR? The parking garage, where I park daily, drips a bit on my car. I always get one or two drops entering the garage as well. I’ve tried moving to different areas of the garage but some areas as worse than others.

[@diydetailofficial]

You can use it as often as you need

[@santiagorojas9128]

Great video as always, question is when or how you apply the bug tar or zap remover. Do you have a video where you use all the products that will be nice

[@diydetailofficial]

Only use DIY Detail Tree Sap Remover if and where needed.

[@Unknownn9820]

How often should i decon a car? Should i be every wash ? Sorry if its a dumb question

[@diydetailofficial]

Great question, when you feel the need, on average every 3-6 months.

[@Detailpops]

What would you use if you have an older car that has heavy contamination? Would you still use the clay towel or bust out a medium grade clay bar?

[@diydetailofficial]

Same process

[@Detailpops]

@@diydetailofficial awesome wasn’t sure if the towel was aggressive enough to do that
