Good afternoon Phil and Jess. Just finished detailing my car, that 303 Protectant is really impressive. Not only does it bead like crazy and easy to apply, but also helps in the drying process. Glad you showed it on the channel.

Hi Phil, great video. Learned a lot. I really enjoy seeing you and your wife work together. Thanks for a lot of great tips...too many to list really. Like the way you cleaned the exhaust pipes. Thanks. Its great watching a real world people doing detailing. A lot better than people who are JUST You Tube detailers with no real world experience. Mostly product testers.

Awesome job Phil and Jess. I have really enjoyed your content lately and distinguishing between paint enhancement and correction. Did you all use CSL on the car followed by EXO? It looked awesome.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks! We did use CSL but customer opted out of EXOv4. We offer EXOv4 as an add on for an extra cost. Most customers opt out.

Really digging that SPTA polisher. I know you've probably mentioned it in previous videos, but how long does a battery typically lasts and how long does it take to charge? That car came out nice and a very unique windshield! Good job!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Yeah we love these polishers. Typically when doing enhancements we can get about 3-4 panels before we need to switch out batteries. It’s hard to tell time wise though. That’s why go by how many panels. 😎👍🏼

[@alankelly1542]

Another fabulous video You have really changed my mind set on car detailing. I no longer go for “absolute perfection”. I love the on screen relationship with you and your wife and your whole ethos and approach to detailing. I’m only a driveway detailed but really enjoy the process. I’m considering buying the Batoca da, 2 questions….. how long do the batteries take to charge ? and then roughly how long do they last when in use ? Thank you in advance from 🇬🇧 UK

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks. So it’s hard to tell exactly how long the battery lasts in minutes. We usually get about 3 or so panels before we need to switch out, and that’s doing our Enhancement. So maybe about 30-40 minutes. Our section passes are usually about 1-2 minutes. It takes about 45+ min to charge.

[@alankelly1542]

[@14uncfans]

Hey Phil! I'm always learning new skills from you guys. I do have a question. What product did you use as the pre-wash?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Usually we use Super Clean, Extra Tough or lately P&S APC. dilutions are 1:4 or 1:5. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaCUhmuwjJeXeZY

[@thecardoc5083]

Congrats on all your success. I've learned a great deal from you and your wife and have really enjoyed your videos. Question; why use a water spot remover if you're going to polish and ceramic coat a vehicle? Wouldn't a fine cut polish be enough to remove those spots if a spray solution can do it with such ease? Share your expertise on the matter when you get a moment. Thanks again!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi! Thanks. Great question. We have found that just polishing alone doesn’t remove some of the water spots. Sometimes it takes longer to polish them out. So now we use a chemical to remove the waterspots first and then polish and it’s much faster and we get better results.

[@Weyco23]

Love my C8. Your friends at Chicago Auto Pros did the PPF and ceramic coating on mine. Still a pain to clean with all the nooks and crannies, but it’s so beautiful when done. Damn, the paint was terrible on this one. Mine only needed 1 hour of paint correction and is pretty close to perfect. Isn’t that back window fun to clean. 😀

[@MirandaDetailing]

Sweet! Yeah it’s fun all right!!🤣😎👍🏼

[@moneyparhar]

Stoners easy reach tool for glass would came in handy for cleaning rear glass from inside.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Yeah I have one and sometimes they can be cumbersome also. But I have used them before.

[@MrZMXNCBValskdjfhg12]

On your justification of the microfiber cut squares watch your video at 17:28 as you’re shaking it dropping lint onto the paint you’re working on!

[@MirandaDetailing]

😂 it’s ok it’s just tiny fluffs of microfiber that easily blow off. Why would that ever make a difference?

[@baldobarrera1488]

Could you or do you top the ceramic coating with a sealant or anything or no? Suggestions? Thanks! Great videos! 👍

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Yes I usually just top it the next day with Gtechniq C2v3. You can also top it with EXOv4 but thats only upon request of the customer and we charge more.

[@hugobarragan72]

Hi Phil can I ask where I can get the battery polishers? I'm a mobile detailer n that ll help a lot oh n witch ones u recommend. Thanks

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. We use the SPTA cordless polisher mostly. They are our favorite ones amzn.to/3KHrHZx You will see us use them the most in our videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnXKpYOherCjb5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX_Jq4isgLqiea8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnXMZ42Yl9SGfNE

Thank you, I appreciate the info, I like ur videos I always learn something new.

[@MirandaDetailing]

You’re welcome! Thanks! 😎👍🏼

[@mutatedgenome]

Phil, if you were doing a full correction, what would you have done for this paint? More passes with the Koch Chemie Fine Cut and orange pad, or would you have used a heavier cutting polish/compound? If so which one? Also, have you tried the LC HDO or CCS pads with your 12mm cordless polishers? if so, do you notice any difference in those compared to the LC flat pads?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. If we were doing a correction yes we would most likely use a microfiber disc and maybe KC Heavy cut. Sometimes fine cut works great on the MF disc also. I have used the HDO, they work great also and the ccs pads are pretty much exactly like the flat pads to me. We just prefer the regular flat pads.

[@mutatedgenome]

@@MirandaDetailing Do you prefer LC MF pads over the ones made by Megs or Rupes or are they mostly the same?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Good question. The Megs and Rupes ones are also great. We have found the LC ones to be the most affordable and effective pads we have used.

[@jbm119jbm]

What do you do with wiper blade arms?

[@MirandaDetailing]

I will use the Trim Coating on them also. does a great job of restoring and protecting them.

Have you ever cleaned a car with mold on the interior / Have you ever refused a job ? Also do you own a ozone machine or odor treatment? Thanks

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. We used to try to detail mold interiors until I took some classes on mold remediation. How we refuse them. Way to dangerous and risky. Even though some detailers can clean the surfaces, the mold is everywhere in places where you can’t get unless you take the carpets and seats out completely. We do have an ozone machine but only for minor odors and that’s it. But we don’t guarantee odor removal or anything.

@@MirandaDetailing how often have you used it is it effective ? Looking into getting one but just not sure is there any other odor bomb spray thing you use ?

We don’t use any odor bombs sprays. We find they put too much of a scent into the vehicle and our customers don’t like that. We use the ozone for some odors but not all the time. We don’t offer odor removal anyway, we refer customers to another local interior restoration company that does that.
