My Toyota is 26 years old. Aside from the lids, the body finish shines like new. I like Mother's. 8yrs ago, I used their 3 step process except I used cleaning wax instead of clay bar, because the 1st step pure polish restored the shine way beyond my expectations, and now I reapply Mother's 3rd step pure carnuba wax every 4 months, well before the wax already on my vehicle wears off the finish. I use Lucas spray wax after each wash. I Rain-X all the glass. Between washes I wipe the pollen and pollution dirt off every 2 days so I don't have to wash my van for a month or more! Keep your car finish slippery and dirt will repel. Re-waxing my van by hand takes me about an hour now that I keep up with protecting the clear coat. Mother's #3 carnuba wax lasts about 6 months. My 23yr old barn rescue Harley shines like new also. Dupont paste Chrome polish makes old chrome brilliantly shine.

[@robertchristie9434]

I've used them all kind of products on my 2010 white diamond CTS from waxes to different ceramic coatings. For the last three years I've been using Meguiar's Ceramic Spray wax when I hand wash with plain water, no soap or car wash detergents. First product I have ever used that you can see the fine scratches fill-in & it doesn't seem to get as dirty even during our nasty Michigan winters. Even the polished 18" OEM wheels look almost like chrome. Owned the Caddy for 12 years, never been through a car wash & the finish looks as good as the day it was built. Gave away all my other polishes, waxes, sealers, etc. No regrets.

[@oreman011]

Hey man appreciate the honesty in your videos. Something I’ve had a hard time getting an answer for is if you have a base layer whether it’s sealant or ceramic coating how does using a topper “enhance” the underlying costs properties rather than masking them?

[@autodetailingpodcast]

If you think of it in layers, putting anything on top of something else would in theory protect what’s under it. Whether it actually happens like that or not could be up for debate.

[@oreman011]

Ah gotcha. So you’re essentially masking the coating. All the properties whether it’s hydrophobics or whatever will be coming from top layer

[@autodetailingpodcast]

IMO most likely. Sometimes the hydrophobic will go away from a coating but you can tell the coating is still there so to get the water to bead again you would add a “topper”. Does that make sense?

[@oreman011]

@@autodetailingpodcast yes totally thank you.

[@richscott2483]

Before you start washing your vehicle, park in a shaded area but not under a tree, make sure the car surface is not hot but cool to warm, don't use a Pressure Washer, use a garden hose, use the 2 bucket method. Spray and wet down the vehicle, foam your vehicle, rinse the car, foam again, microfiber mitts soaked and soap, wash from top to bottom, sectioning off each panel, keep the wash mitt fresh by rinsing in cold water, and reapply foam suds and continue cleaning, time to rinse the whole car. Dry the car with slightly damp microfiber towel not a dry one which could scratch, or use a leaf blower which works rather well. Some people like to De-ironize (Iron Remover) their vehicle this is the time to do it. Spray and let set for about 60 to 90 seconds and Do not allow the iron remover to dry, rinse the car, using a clean damp microfiber towel wipe down and dry the car as picking up the iron remover residue. Clay Bar or Decontamination can be done, use a lubricant and always keep the car panel moist and lube, never apply pressure, your clay bar mitt, sponge, towel, or clay should glide nice and easy. Detailing a vehicle is a slow and tedious task. Now the vehicle is ready to put a sealant over the clear coat, waxed and polished. Never allow the polishing pads to become hot and move quickly across the panel evenly, change pads often and reapply the polish. I prefer to do things by hand and not using power tools. Okay, there are numerous Detailing videos. If you apply a real Ceramic Coating, it has a long cure time and you do not want to polish a vehicle that has been Ceramic Coated. Cleaning and protecting your vehicle inside out takes time, Plan on spending 6 hours minimum up to 2 days. Visual inspection of the underbody/undercarriage is time consuming as most vehicle have covers. Look for rust and crevices where water collects, time to clean the underside and near the tires, suspension linkage. Some lubrication may be needed. The outer shell or top areas of the vehicle are easy to maintain, just don't forget the bottom takes a lot of punishment and often neglected.

[@shumardi1]

I am just now learning about detailing. Do you not like the foam cannon with pressure washer?

[@csexecutiveservices]

Foam cannons are amazing, however, especially if misused (intentional or misinformed) power washer can do the most harm in that case. The foam needs a smooth even coverage not blasted out at mach stupid onto the car.

[@kennixox262]

In my neighborhood a guy with a truck washes a lot of my neighbors cars. Several Rolls Royces, Mercedes and the like. All this in the hot desert sun, mid day using hard water. For me, I prefer to have my car sent to a hand wash detail place that uses soft water, shade and a whole lot of care. They charge a lot and I tip a lot for the excellent service. Too bad that after a day or two, the desert dust does a number on my cars that are all black. Oh well - they are just cars and not a lifestyle.

[@shrmtales]

Hey Jimbo, got one for you to do and test Traditional rinse of a prewash snowfoam suggests to blast from the top to bottom I personally for the prewash phase i do not wait for foam to dwell for 5 minutes. Instead i go through as soon as possible am done foaming and blasting the periphery lowest sections ie side skirts and lowest points of front and rear bumper. The logic behind it is those spots will have typically the most dirt by blasting 1st you a) remove a significant amount and b) the gravity introduces additional foam to duel in to the dirt that may have remain. Naturally i move up from down repeating the process. The flats you allow the soaps suggested time to work. And c) my rationale to this is to eliminate as much as possible for the contact step of washing and of course why waste the action potential of the foam to go down the drain literally

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Good idea. I’ll try it out. Thanks for sharing

[@shrmtales]

@@autodetailingpodcast You welcome, My Name is Hercules by the way. Next up i have is to eliminate the 2 buckets method when you have a pressure washer and a foam lance. Most soaps can generate a ton of creamy foam on a lance is fact. Fact 2 more foam equals to more slickness Fact 3 the solution in the lance remains intact from elements or transferring anything from the mitt to the bucket. The rinse bucket works against us. Yes the heavy particles will go down to bottom. However we neglect that some will float and the phenomenon of liquids to become homogeneous. The additional dips will cause a stir hence a currents similar that to a spoon in side a mug with a dose of instant coffee. The funny part is the counter measure is to simple rinse it with a hose or the lowest setting of the PW with clear fresh water out of them

[@laurapalmerTDGE]

@@danlc95 - Indeed, an auto paint glaze primarily aims to quickly provide a glossy finish and conceal surface imperfections. Durability is typically not the main focus of these products. For a clean paint surface, Collinite 845 can indeed mask minor imperfections due to its filling properties. As an alternative to a pure glaze, products like 3D or Meguiar's AIO (All-In-One) can be considered. These products often combine polishing, glossing, and protective features, offering a more versatile approach than traditional glazes. Another option is to polish the paint and then maintain it regularly. However, this requires more effort and time, but the results can be more durable. There are indeed numerous options and approaches available, each with its own pros and cons, depending on budget constraints and the specific needs of the car owner. It's essential to consider personal preferences, available time, and the desired outcome when choosing the right product or approach for paint care.

@JEFFQUICKLE9 Beadmaker absolutely provides high gloss, but it does not even beat Sonax Brilliant Shine detailer or Xtreme Solutions topper or last as long either. It's a good quality product, though. As far as Colonite wax goes, it has to be applied again after a couple washes. That's not great protection. Turtle Wax Seal n Shine or Graphene Flex Wax is a more durable protection. Colonite wax can't hold up to 3 acidic or alkaline washes. that's why I use Griots 3 in 1 because it balances durable with chemical resistance, all while still providing gloss and hydrophobics. plus, it can be diluted as a detail spray.

Initially the spray wax had a sheeting action when you were spraying control the ceramic does not do this. you changed the spray on the spray wax second time, so it just beaded.

'Ceramic" coatings were a huge scam back in the Day. You could add it to your Engine Oil to rebuild your Rings and Bearings.

[@user-qd9ii7it6w]

I've tried the Maguari's ceramic spay and even put two coats on but i found when it come up for a wash the product is weak and didn't last at all , and this spay on a car then rinse off ceramic spay doesn't really do it for me as i believe that all the panels on the car do not get covered fully and its a bit of a gimmick . I see that there are ceramic spays that you just spay on the car and rinse off but it don't seem right in my opinion. I will soon try the cerakote ceramic coating and see how that performs under normal washing and how that stands up and if it lasts .

I agree. The problem is current products don’t really do that

The Cerakote one? I had to take it down.

[@ecospider5]

Bummer. Thanks for letting me know.

[@asaholey]

Are you confident that your testing is accurate this time? It might end up like one of your previous videos that you removed just because you heard rumors that they wanted it taken down. If your testing is fair and without any manipulation, you shouldn't be afraid of companies you've given negative reviews to.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

Ya I’ve done tons of torture test it wasn’t about the test itself but that I had an unbranded product next to it that they felt I was comparing it to. They were mad because it was doing much better than their coating. That’s where the problem came in.

[@asaholey]

​@@autodetailingpodcast i don't see any reason to remove it.

[@autodetailingpodcast]

My torture test have been done on a ton of products that have survived way longer than the Cerakote product did. I also decided that I will not talk or even show a brand that conducts business the way they do. Good or bad results on a product that’s not a brand I want to showcase on my channel. There are too many reputable brands out there to talk about it.

Ceramic coating is a scam. Trade practices needs to crack down on the false claims about it. Calling it ceramic coating is a lie, because any ceramic in it is only a trace amount that does nothing to actually protect the car. It's purely down to what ever the rest of the polish is made up of, not whether or not it contains ceramic. I've spoken to automotive paint specialists and I've had friends who paid hundreds of dollars for supposed paint protection ceramic coating. The stuff wears off over a couple of months and it does nothing to protect the paint from ultraviolet light. Dura Glaze is what I've been using for years. It actually works and it does last for well over a year. (They claim it lasts for five years, but it loses the water beading effect after about a year.) If you've seen ultra-shiny wet-look paintwork, that's how Dura Glaze comes out. It also gives a lot of protection against ultraviolet light.

[@deanlacey2315]

I owned a detailing business for 20 years and you are telling these people exactly the opposite information about beading and sheeting. The reason water beads is that leveling you are fond of talking about is not sufficient and the water will leave spots or you have to go another step and wipe it off. Properly applied and leveled chemicals should sheet and for the most part not require drying. I also don't know why you would apply spray on wipe off or spray on spray off chemicals unless you are getting your customers to come back every week because they could go to a drive thru car wash and get the same coverage and protection for a lot less then a custom detailing. Finally, you seem intent on coming up with special words for shine and the visuals of the finish product when maybe you should talk more about the vehicles protection after the product is applied.
