@@diydetailofficial thank you!

The coating didn’t have any issues but I’d look into the DIY Detail metal coating if you don’t have a coating already. That wasn’t available when I coated these otherwise I would have used that. They have some good videos on it on their channel. It’s not like other coatings, it takes a while to flash while it bonds to the raw metal. They coated a cyber truck using it and have a good video on it!

@@alfredautospa awesome thank you

@@T-BoneTodd thank you Todd! I appreciate you! This one was really clean when it arrived. The owner took very good care of it. I’m editing the video I did for his brother truck, same truck just black and that one was a different story.

@@T-BoneTodd Thank you Todd! This one took some elbow grease to get back to decent.

Franko!!! I appreciate you always tuning in!

absolutely brotha, yours and heathers (from auto care hq) video style always bring the kickback chill and watch some good detailing vibes …. 🙏🏽🐿️💨

@@FrankoDetails Heathers videos are always on point, definitely one of the channels I watch as soon as new videos drop. I'm glad she's getting the success she deserves and so many people are supporting her because she puts out great content.

Correct, this was washed before it was dropped off and had very little dirt/dust. I usually let the APC dwell for a few minutes and then go straight into the wash. The rinseless I spray on before the contact wash when the apc is still on the paint will rinse some of it off and the rinseless wash afterwards removes the rest of it. Thank you for watching!!

Hey Brodie, I appreciate the sub! Yeah, diy is my go to for most things because it just works. Curious how the new rinseless compares to their original, and I need to get some of their new iron remover to try. I’ve been wanting to try hero too because I hear nothing but good things about it. I’ll be getting APP as well to try before some coating jobs I have coming up. Hopefully I can find the time to edit some of the videos I have recorded and get new content out.

Definitely try some of the DIY Detail Waterspot Remover. This is the best I’ve used so far and it will usually remove anything that may be masking the coating. I hope this process brings your coating back!

Thanks 👍

Never too glossy my guy! 😜

Thanks franko! I appreciate you 🤜🤛

That product is DIY Detail Interior Ceramic. On new vehicles or details where I'm ceramic coating the outside and doing a full interior detail, I'll usually apply this after cleaning the seats as added value for my customers.

Thank you! I appreciate you watching!

Thank you so much! Honestly, it's been trial and error and pulling inspiration from other channels that do a WAY better job than I do. Channels like Vermijl Car Detail, Auto Care HQ, CC Detailing, and RAD Garage are all channels I watch often and pull inspiration from. I'm still learning and figuring out creative angles to try when recording. Hopefully every video gets better.

Thank you! I still plan on doing the follow up video for all clean! Baseball season just start for my kids so a spare night is hard to find, but I indent to get it done once I have some time!

Thank you Todd, I always appreciate you tuning in!!!

At the time I was using P&S All Purpose for the initial wash. I’ve since switched to DIY all clean. It gets a much better dilution ration for the same cleaning ability. Polished with diy gold standard polish, panel prep was glass parents panel prep, and then coated with Glassparency graphene coating. Thanks for watching!

The solvent does dry out the tire a bit, but if you follow up with a tire dressing immediately it should rehydrate the tire. I haven’t noticed a difference in the treated vs untreated areas once the tire dressing wears off after the initial application. From that point forward you should be good.

Oh would you stop it

A little over half the bottle. I think you could get a large suv and a small sports car coated with one bottle if you stretched it. That coated everything except the wheels. I can usually get two f150s coated with a single bottle just to give you a ballpark of how far it will go.

@@alfredautospa ok and you're doing the windows too? I'm using another product for the windows so 1 bottle 2 trucks should be good.

@@jasonvoorhees9641 I did, I wanted to see how it would hold up compared to my current offering. They’ve been holding up equally well, so if you don’t want to get a dedicated product, this works well.

Thank you for the feedback! I’ll need to do another cleaning on my vehicles this week after I have some maintenance done and I’ll be sure to do a follow up video at the proper dilutions. I assumed aligning the dilutions would give a truer comparison between the products, but your comment about needing water to making them work effectively makes sense. I hear Yvan talk about proper dilutions all the time and I should have started with recommended dilutions. I did notice that 15:1 in a foaming pump sprayer, all-clean seems way more effective. I was thinking it was the foaming action, but it could be a combo of the proper dilutions and the foaming.

@@alfredautospa wow! I would have never expected that! Learn something new everyday.

​@@alfredautospaHi! I'm a relatively new subscriber but just wanted to say that I'm really keen to see that update video you mentioned. :) Thanks in advance and for all the awesome content you've put out so far!

Thank you for subscribing! I do intend to create the follow up video. I’m hoping to have some time over the next few weeks to put that together and do it justice.

Everything I’ve tried on the diy line has been fantastic. Happy to support you as you grow this product line!

Thanks pj!

Thank you Todd! This one was a big one. Thinking I might need a bigger garage if I do too many more of these! I appreciate you always tuning in!

Yah, it’s a beast for sure! 😆 DIY never disappoints!

@@T-BoneTodd absolutely, I haven’t had a product from them that I’ve been disappointed in. Would really love to try the gold standard on their new 25mm da. I bet that cuts like crazy.

No doubt! I just received the new DIY Rotary last week! The weather here in Ct is just starting to get better. Can’t wait to start using it! It looks and feels great !

@@T-BoneTodd that’s awesome! They look like really solid tools. I know Yvan wouldn’t put out anything sub par. The dewalt cordless is nice but definitely needs more speed to spin out the pad after using the pad washer. I’ll be down in mass this coming weekend for some travel baseball games for my boys. Hopefully the weather turns out nice. That ice storm that rolled through had power out for 3 days for us, hopefully you guys were spared.

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words! I'm charging about $1000 for a full service like this. However, it's still under market value, which is typically $1200 to $1500 for a full exterior detail, single stage polish and ceramic coating. I'm gradually bringing my prices into alignment with what other detailers are charging but still give a bit of a discount because of my limited availability. This is not my full-time job and I'll typically have the car for a few days to work on it after hours or on the weekends.

Thank you scott!

I lied, I need a polisher too haha

Air compressor has many uses. The tornador or the rag company version definitely makes a big difference in cleaning the interior. With it I can remove the bulk of the dry dirt/debris from the carpets and door panels/pockets before using any liquid. I haven't needed to extract a carpet in almost a year doing it this way and it saves me from over-saturating the fabrics. Definitely worth the investment once you get there. You can get close to the results with a vac and a drill brush, but the compressor and air gun definitely make it quicker. A polisher is nice, but definitely not necessary when you're first starting out. Honestly, I only use it when I am polishing before a coating. On a normal interior/exterior I only wash, clay/iron remover, dry, and then spray sealant like DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss. Are you detailing as a business or for yourself?

Hey franko! I’ve had good luck with Glassparency wheel and tire, but if it’s that bad you might need to go to a Heavy degreaser. I’ll usually start with all clean and then jump to Glassparency tire and wheel. I do have a gallon of super clean on hand as a last resort.

It’s a solid product. I’ll usually start with diy detail all clean to see what it will clean because the dilution ratio is so high, but tire and wheel is my go-to if that doesn’t get the results I want or if I know I’ll need something stronger. I think you’d be happy with it! It smells pretty good too!

@@alfredautospa Thanks Al, going to give it a try. Reasonably priced as well. Thanks again 👍🏼

If you do order directly from Glassparency, use code Alfred15 at checkout for a 10% discount. It’s an affiliate code for me, but I’m really sharing it to save you some money. Don’t feel obligated to use it, but it’s an option for some savings.

right on, appreciate it ✌🏽🐿️💨

@@Franko.Details any time brother!

Thank you Soc! I appreciate you! I think you need to join Eddie and JB as regular on the podcast!

@@alfredautospa 🤣🤣. It won’t happen. Maybe one day though

Thank you Todd! I appreciate you watching!

Thank you JB, I appreciate you! Maybe someday I’ll get there, but for now I appreciate all the ones I do have and I’ll keep trying to make my content better each release. One of these days I’ll remember to shoot my thumbnail photo first rather than scraping the video to find something that will work 🤣

Thanks Mike!

Thanks man, I appreciate the support. My customer was super understanding about the whole situation. They went through their insurance and covered the deductible and I gave them credit for future services. I was happy to cover the cost but that’s the direction they wanted to go. My first time running into this and I really wanted to share this with my viewers because I don’t think anyone really talks about it much online. No need to send money, having you as a viewer is more than enough, but I appreciate it! I enjoy the editing process and connecting with everyone who shares this passion. New video dropping tomorrow on a 2019 camero SS 🔥🔥🔥

@@alfredautospa awesome!!!

I've tried a bunch of other product lines, but this one just works and simplifies my process. I've been a fan of Yvan and Nick even before they started DIY and I'm happy to support them. The fact the their products are some of the best I've used is a bonus. Have you tried any of their stuff yet? If so, I'm curious what are your thoughts? Thanks for watching!

Thank you Georgina, I appreciate your continued support and feedback! I thought the mic track was loud enough while I was editing the video, but I agree 100% now that I've listened to it on youtube. I'll ensure the voiceover is loud enough on the next video. Should have one posted in two weeks on a blue Camaro I ceramic coated.

@@alfredautospacan’t wait!

Thank you Ron!

Thank you! Im not far, we’re about 1-5 hours north, about 20 minutes south of Portland, Me. I appreciate you watching!

I would do it, you won’t be disappointed! I’ve used both as stand alone coatings and they are some of the best I’ve used. Stacked you’d get the best of both coatings.

DIY advised not to use the 5 year. Only the 8 year then topped by the 3 year.

@@gseybold I’ve heard Yvan talk about using either combination in a number of the diy videos. Maybe I missed some information in one of their recent videos or posts on Facebook. Maybe his guidance was for the best protection, use the 8/3 combo, or if you’re not sure then go with the 8 year topped with 3. I’ve been very impressed with this coating combo so far.

You are correct @alfred. I apologize for the incorrect comment. I went back and confirmed that he does say you can stack the 5 year and 8 year coatings as long as the 3 year coating is the topper. Video is below. th-cam.com/video/xTR7Itxob1c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L__3nL-QhgXIVBaU

@@gseybold no worries, I was thinking I missed something that came out recently. I appreciate you linking the video!

You should post pics and such on Detailer's Money Shots.

Thank you Ron! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

Hi Georgina, Thank you for the support and feedback! I'll be sure to include it in the description moving forward and I'll likely got back through my recent videos and add it.

I’ll use two towels per layer. One for the initial leveling and another for just a second wipe incase I missed any spots as a security measure. The initial towel shouldn’t get wet if you’re applying the coating correctly and give it enough time to flash.

Thank you Georgina! I appreciate you checking out the video!

Hey Ron, I appreciate you reaching out! That was a good episode, I think Tim had us all in stitches laughing with his comments!

@@alfredautospa I don't unsubscribe to detailing channels. as the old adage goes, there's more than one way to skin a cat, not that I skin cats, I like cats, and we've had a few over the years. A good detailer is always learning. I've been doing this since the mid 1980's and I still consider myself a student of the craft!

Thanks Mike! I appreciate you tuning in!

Thanks Soc! Yeah, it was a direct hit on it. I was driving back from the store and a line drive foul ball got it square in the taillight. My wife told me if I didn’t drive like a grandpa all the time it would have missed me entirely🤣🤣.

@@alfredautospa 🤣🤣 the grandpa driving got you hit 🤣😭

Great video and tutorial. Thanks for featuring DIY Detail.

@diydetailofficial thank you for making amazing products! The stack is amazing!
