I started playing around with making videos at work about 8 years ago and it has just developed from there. I really should take a course or two at some point. For the music, I spend a lot of time on Souncloud.com searching for interesting artists. When I find one, I reach out and ask their permission to include their music in my videos. The vast majority of them are super keen to partner with me. Then, I just peruse their songbooks in search of the tracks I feel work with my video footage. You can find links to all these awesome and generous artists here: www.radgarage.ca/music.html

Sometimes the passion behind a hobby outweighs the knowledge of a job.

Thanks Doc! I consider my overall approach to detailing to be sound, but the fact that this is a passion and a hobby, and not my actual profession, allows me to approach the process with more patience since turning a profit is not something I concern myself with.

It doesn't matter how many projects I have under my belt, a black car still makes me nervous! I think the bulk of the cars you see on my channel, were pre-owned purchases. My personal theory is, guys my age are starting to realize the "best" cars have already been produced so they are starting to acquire them. Not to say new cars aren't awesome, but the age of the people I associated with suggests they are melancholy about the cars they admired and now they are in a position to finally buy them. Just a theory.

@RADGarage2 жыл бұрын
Bottom up is the way to go. If you begin rinsing your foam from the top, the run off rinses away the foam on the lower portion of the car, so by the time you get there, the foam is all gone and what are you really doing? You are spraying the car with water. By working your way up, you ensure you are thrusting foam (not just water). into the tight body gaps which is the primary reason I follow a pre-wash foam process. It does seem counter intuitive, but I stand by it 100%! Thanks fo the question and I hope to keep viewers entertained as we enter in the Fall/Winter season here.

Hi Rick love you videos and attention to detail and the editing is amazing it helps my mental health I am a veteran and I detail cars but struggle how to find customers I even tried offering free detail and no one bits any tips on editing software or generating customers. I have posted about 5 videos so just starting really
@RADGarage Жыл бұрын
I’m honoured you enjoy my videos. For editing software I use the very basic iMovie program. As far as generating interest in your services, I don’t have much expertise to offer, unfortunately. I have been fortunate to find a group of people that enjoy my videos and enjoy seeing their cars featured in them.

Thanks so much Ramon. Once you have the right tools and equipment for the job, it is just a matter of taking your time and doing your best. I have never tackled a black GMC but I imagine that would be a very fun and satisfying project to complete. Go for it!

If you are in the US, I highly recommend you give Turbo Wax Swirl Remover Pro X a shot. With a wool pad on a HF polisher, it may surprise you. Might save you some money from buying a new polisher, too!

Astonishing results Rick! For the Carpro Perl, did you use it full strength or diluted some? Thanks again Rick! 👍🏼👍🏼
@RADGarage2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Tim. At RAD Garage, we use pretty much every product at full strength these days. I find diluting anything dilutes its effectiveness. Plus, I don't really have to concern my self with cost savings due to the low volume of projects I tackle as compared to most others.

Awesome work, always enjoy your videos. I have one question - what is your secret to minimize the rust bloom that happens on steel brake discs when washing cars with steel big brake kits?
@RADGarage2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the compliment. The only sure-fire way of eliminating that rotor rust is to take the car for a quick spin around the black and apply the brakes a few times. There is nothing else I have found that works. Sometimes, taking a car around the block is just not possible due to sloppy road conditions and you don't want to undo all the wash work you just did, so that is a problem that I am still looking for a solution to.

There are many education options where I live. My school chooses to have a short summer with a few more breaks sprinkled during the year. The majority of students return to school in early-September. Thanks for taking time to view this AMG project. It was a a highly satisfying way to end off my summer detailing season.

awesome content! any advice on a good pop up tent to keep car in shade while drying and detailing? Live in townhouse and one car garage too narrow to do any work in.
@RADGarage2 жыл бұрын
I have often considered a pop up tent for different projects on the driveway. I don't have any first hand experience with one, but my neighbour across the street recently picked one up for his track days. I shall shoot him a message and see if he has a recommendation and I'll post the response here.

A few questions if you think about doing a FAQ anytime soon : - What's the car you've enjoyed detailing the most (apart from yours) - What's the dream car you would like to detail - What do you think about the thousands of "disaster car detailing" videos you can see on youtube ? Do you think they stage those videos by adding dirt, moss, and trash in cars before cleaning ? - Would you see yourself making detailing your mainjob ?
@RADGarage Жыл бұрын
Great questions François! - The car I enjoyed detailing the most would have to be the BMW 2002 I did last summer. - A dream car that I would like to detail is a Porsche 928S4 - I can't stand "disaster details". I am sure many of them are staged since it seems to be the most viewed type of video in the detailing genre.
