Hey I love folgers coffee 👍👍👍👍

[@myname-in8sh]

I'd stopped leaving comments on the internet since years and I know we're here for the detailing; but you offering your wife that lovely coffee and her warm adorable smile back at you after a sip was just the sweetest warmest part of the video and I had a happy smile all the way through to the end. So yes, in addition to more of all the other blessings in your life, I also wish you two a long happy healthy life together and that you both continue to cherish each other and never let the love get jaded with the passage of time and the daily grind of life; may God always bless and protect you awesome twosome; lots of love coming your way all the way from Qatar.

[@Catbus2009]

Man, I have found your videos so helpful. I just got a 2019 Black Forester with 28k miles that I’m going to prep and apply a ceramic coat to this week. The tips on your channel have been so helpful. I do have one question. There are these white lite scratches under handles where I assume someone with a ring was scraping the area. What would be the best way to correct this? I’m not sure if it’s surface or deeper.

[@MirandaDetailing]

That's awesome! Yeah those scratches under the handles are usually pretty light and can be reduced by hand polishing with a medoum or heavy cut compound and microfiber applicator or towel. Just lots of elbow grease.

The Civic was dripping gloss as the coating looked perfect. Great advice on double checking for high spots on the front grille as I have been found guilty of leaving a high spot on a nook in the headlight. You two do beautiful work and thank you for the video.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks!

[@Mdetailing]

Phil again great video ....have a nice week. Please can i leave some note? I know that you have much much experience with csl , and you are accredited........... Just keep in mind something that my chemist told me. The target thickness of the coating. Gtechink on its directions of use sais ..Soak the application pad with 3 full measures of CSL from the pipette and work the liquid into the pad to get an even saturation Apply in overlapping strokes to an area roughly 2ft by 2ft (60cm x 60cm) This is not by accident....the chemist that created csl, wants certain amount of coating product to be applied on a specific area and not stretch the product beyond as far it goes. This is because the raw material are inside the transfer solution needs certain minimum thickness and volume of the product in a certain area in order to leave behind those gloss/slickness/hardness e.t.c material s that the chemist designed. One of the most common mistakes most users.do.is over stretch the coayings beyond directions to save product....and leads to.premature fails

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. I haven’t had any issues with CSL on vehicles that have been properly maintained.

[@Mdetailing]

@@MirandaDetailing ok...just keep an eye on long term, and try to stick to the directions and double check it with Gteckh. What is your experience and the feedback , with the new layout of your website Phil? Do you think is more useful to the customers? More ergonomic? Helped with SEO point? I really like it, good work. Simple ,not confusing and to the point

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks. Yeah I am seeing more traffic now on the new website. And I will be starting a blog soon also.

How have you found newer Honda clear coats to be? I know they had some issues in the past, but I just purchased a 2023 Accord and I wanna know what I have to look forward to. Thanks 4 your vids!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. The clear coats on newer Hondas seem to be pretty forgiving. not to hard to polish at all. But always do a test spot to make sure.

[@shojus]

@@MirandaDetailing Thank you very much!

[@josevargas1897]

Phil as always another great video!! Would like to see the trim coating video as it tends to be a little tricky sometimes. Thank you very much guys!!

[@millerdetailing4176]

Another great video Phil, can’t agree more have tried lots of coatings. Although none as easy as CSL to apply and wipe off. Thanks for the content and have a good week.

[@bigjerm19830044]

You should try DPC flashback. Would love to know your thoughts on it. I’ve been eyeing it but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

[@T-WashMD2019]

I hear GT has great coatings! Very easy to remove. Nice work!

[@bryanmarks4070]

I just ordered a few boxes of Diamond body 36. It looks like the new kid in the block that’s going to be a great coating. I also got some Diamond glass kits.

[@JustInThoughts.1]

You guys are awesome. Ive learned quite a bit from your channel. I just started my detailing business this year. Im having a really hard time getting customers. When i first did my google my business page i got a few details. But now it been a couple months and im not even getting phone calls anymore. Fo you guys have any ideas or recommendations for me to get some phone calls coming in?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks! Yeah getting customers is the toughest thing. You what though…this time of year even we are slow. We have a good amount of regular repeat customers that keep us going, but we haven’t had that many new customers in the past month. Sometimes it just slows down and comes in waves. Just keep on what you are doing and don’t slow down, use social media, KZbin, google business to post

[@helifan2346]

Get some business cards if you haven’t already. Get some shirts with your business name and logo, go to office buildings and present yourself as the owner and that you would like to drop some cards for tenants. Tell them that you would give discount for the first so cars. Go to dental offices, restaurants, open shopping centers and drop some cards. Walk and walk and walk. Knock on peoples doors and be presentable and tell them what you do. That you need to start from the bottom and this is one way to do it. Some people will understand some not, be ready for those. Print some fliers and go to department complex and leave some there, on car’s windshield Good luck! Don’t spend money on adds Invest more rather Invest is when you see that that money brings more busine$$ When you spend money is in something you will see no return This a low season and people are focus on something else, end of year and holidays Don’t spend money this months, wait and start on summer time and when winter ends. Be ready with those fliers and business cards and walk and walk and talk,talk and talk. It’s your business and you represent that business, clean and cut

[@richardseem7948]

Imo I think a 300 2 350 micro fiber is the sweet spot 4 me.use 2 love 500 gcm mf towels but got sick of the dam lint.i have zero issues using 300 2 350 gcm.b well brother

[@MikeBee77]

Awesome video and for sure would love to see how you prep and ceramic coat glass and trim, especially something that is not in such a good shape. Glass that has some light marks/scratches and gunk on the bottom edges where it meets the rubber and faded plastic. Thanks!!!

[@johntolbert6901]

Hey Phil, as always, I greatly appreciate your truly educational videos. My favorite coating and the one that I have had the most success and request for, is the Armour Shield. Folks love it and the key to to it looking great and lasting is, 1) a thorough prep and 2) good maintenance. Thanks

[@wesoakes]

My go-to’s for enhancements to coat is TLD The Last Polish, micro cut, perfect finish, or hyper polish. Sometimes 3D One but I find I have to wipe a lot to remove all the residue.

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Nice

[@johnlanore599]

We detail yachts here in michigan. We just coated a 42ft Tiarra using Gyeon ceramic for gelcoat. It goes on smooth and comes off easy. Also used Gyeons ceramic for Leather seats, that went on and came off just as easy.

[@JustInThoughts.1]

Hey john where ya at in michigan? i run a mobile detailing business out of the lansing area

[@daringlisson9353]

So far, in my business I’ve only done one ceramic coating on a motorcycle. I used TW One and Done for a quick light Polish. Then used Phoenix EOD Immortal. So quick and easy to apply. For a mobile detailer I love the quick application and cure time.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Awesome!!

[@chrissemsch8781]

I also always give the paint a polish, it’s built into my ceramic coating price. If I notice more than the usual swirls/marring I ask the customer if he would like to spend a little extra to polish the paint more. For new vehicles I use Phoenix eod Fabulous or Sonax Perfect Finish. I prefer the Fabulous. My fav ceramic is Fireball Devils Blood and Kronos by Phoenix.

[@kimnewling5728]

I've used Crystal Serum Light, Carpro Cquartz 3.0 so far. The CSL was overcoated with EXO v4. Afterwards I put on Ceramic Sealant C2v3. After Cquartz I put on Carpro Reload. So far I think I like CSL alittle more. I will be using Gyeon coatings coming this spring. It was gifted to me. (That was so cool, and appreciated). Question: do you like CSL better then Ultra? Yes please. Do more coating videos of any kind! I'm very eager to learn! Great video. Hi wife.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Nice! I haven't had to many requests for Ultra, But I like the Application of CSL better, It's more forgiving.

[@bryanfugate2272]

I use the sonax perfect finish on almost everything it can be pad dependent, found that the Gtechniq panel wipe very harsh compared to the Gyeon prep less chance of marring. Do you always clay a new vehicle and what is the least aggressive method ? Coating new cars is nice however had a new black truck that somehow needed a two step after some bad wash methods but customer only had one step done still had minor defects for a new vehicle I wasn’t happy delivering it but they thought it was good Also what’s your preferred temperature to apply coating? Using Csl

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Cool. We only clay if the paint needs it. If it feels gritty then we use the clay mitt or bar. When it comes to polishing and trying to make the paint look perfect I only go as far as the customer is paying and wanting. Usually it’s the detailer who can spot the paint defects not the customers. I would rather it be warmer then cooler for applying costings. 60’s and up is perfect for any coatings for us.
