Her enthusiasm and eagerness to learn is great to see.

[@diydetailofficial]

Agreed

You know a huge thank you to Pan the Organizer for showing us the DIY, as I'm just a guy who loves keeping my cars clean. I'm not a professional by any means. Ivan you guys come out with some amazing products that just make the detailing funner than hell to do. I think when I run out of my KC Gentle Snow Foam I've got to try the Incredible Suds. The foam looks like shaving cream, top-notch products Ivan. And thanks for the education we all get!

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you, yes Pan is a great inspiration for us all.

[@in4chandru]

lol, PAAAAAANNN THE MARKETER

[@gimblito8172]

one of the biggest game changer for me was using a clay towel and iron remover as lubrication. Saves time (clay towel has more coverage compared to regular clay) and also money (since I am using so much less iron remover). Learned this from one of the DIY videos! Thanks guys!

Happy to help, thank you for watching

Watching this video, I feel like Ivan, our beloved "professor rinseless wash", has such a vast amount of car knowledge besides detailing, I wish one day he can include more of those car discussion topics to his podcast.

Love that friendly tutor style! I had to smile about the lesson on pointing the pressure washer away, as I just had that lesson in real life: The two-part lance would not snap in and silly me sent the first half flying against my brand-new Tesla. At least it was far enough not to leave a dent, and Kaercher puts some soft plastic at the tip. Now there‘s a new gadget to buy: Those decontamination towels. Fwiw, finding a cheap way to ship to the EC would probably give you some extra business :)

Hello ! I just purchased your gold standard polish and i am looking forward to trying it out with my DeWalt cordless polisher on my black explorer. I like how its a spray and am very intrigued by that design.will let you know how it comes out. Great story on how you started your business , that has always been my dream.

Any advice on ceramic coating prep if we have to do it in driveway? Florida water also pretty poor and leaves water spots.

[@diydetailofficial]

Follow what we do here, just don’t allow anything to dry on the paint.

[@Pittsburgh-412]

Great video guys!! Yvan i have a question. My vehicle is ceramic coated. Can i use wax on top of the ceramic coating or does that not work like that? Thank you for your time

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes, as long as it doesn’t contain abrasives, silicone or Teflon

What's the best All Clean dilution for wheels/tires? 15:1 or can you use something stronger like 4:1?

[@diydetailofficial]

15/1 is sufficient, 10/1 would be the most I would go.

[@jamesmurphy7199]

it looks so simple

[@diydetailofficial]

It is.

[@bentitmas7020]

The 8 year ceramic coating looks awesome, do you recommend 1 layer or two? I have a BMW 1 Series hatchback, do you think 30ml would be enough for 2 coats?

[@diydetailofficial]

One layer is all you need! If you want to stack products, we recommend putting the 3 year coating on top (wait 2 hours after applying the 8 year coating). As for the BMW, one bottle is all you need (if you’re just planning on using the 8 year ceramic. One bottle can get you a couple of vehicles)

[@bentitmas7020]

Thanks for the reply. I plan on giving it a go soon! Who are your distributors in the UK?

[@renuing]

I've heard you say on other videos not to spray all clean on the windows, but this one you said no problem. Just wondering what concerns there may be with using all clean on the windows, thanks!

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes, ideally you need to be careful of it drying on the surface.

[@simonhoule4322]

Allo yvan, est ce qu avec une protection ceramique on peut passer la clay towel avec le iron remover ou on risque de l abîmer ? Est ce qu on doit faire uniquement la decontamination chimique ? Merci. J adore vos videos!

Oui , avec nos produits c’est possible.

so no need to rinse between the contact wash and decon with iron remover.. correct?

[@diydetailofficial]

Correct.

[@gerardofierro379]

Have you guys ever mixed just a cap of incredible suds with rinseless to get more foam for rinseless wash and maybe providing more contact time? Just curious if this would be ok and still provide effective cleaning

I've always disliked the two bucket method. I've never used it in the 3 years I've been detailing. I am a firm believer in foam on dry car let dwell and re foam to keep it from drying as I live in florida and then after a total of 5 minutes I rinse and rinse extensively, then re foam heavyish and I have a 6quart bucket and I foam it from the foam cannon then fill it a little with water and do contact wash with the mitt you guys sell. Rinse and dry with my towel and drying aid...

Can I just skip the foaming stage and do rinseless instead?

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes

[@juliorosas86]

It seems they don't need the lone bucket either. The girl washes the entire truck without soaking new shampoo. Cleans in heavily soiled areas and then goes to areas where it should have started. I think that talking too much causes us to make those mistakes. While doing homework, there is nothing better than listening to Johann Sebastian Bach.

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@juliorosas86]

@@diydetailofficial Another detail, it is advisable to use protective gloves for the skin. It is known that cleaning products contain polymers that enter our body in case of contact with the skin. They cause cumulative damage to our body, which generally manifests itself in the long term. You are welcome.
