@@DetailsNMe yup I’m not so patiently waiting.
check fb messenger
Love the unboxings! I get to live vicariously lol. Waiting on my next order since my shelves threw up the white flag lol but I definitely want to try more Mile Deep, Cleantle, and when they land Katiba and Garage Therapy!
What’s the ph?
Spam the advertiser
As a hater myself commenting this shit multiple details channels is insane
im not sure what you mean by your comment.. am i spamming? are you spamming? who is being spammed? I guess ill respond to all of them... Advertisers are paid to advertise a product or company, I'm not paid.. In fact I'm doing my taxes right now the channel is a $33,283 loss in 2024, so i would make a pretty bad advertiser. If i didn't have a good job to pay me money and a love for this stuff the channel wouldn't exist. If you think I'm spamming you then i invite you to unsubscribe and not watch my channel, I certainly don't want to force anyone to be here.. If you're currently tied to a chair and being forced to watch my channel, I feel your pain as the person who edits my videos, I've recently been told I'm the most boring on youtube. If you're spamming me because i am the "advertiser", then i appreciate the comments and added engagement, it really helps the algorithm put me in front of more people.
@@improvedgarage not you, look up “spam the advertiser” AKA pan
@@rosmarin2438 got it. thanks
Nice!
Thanks Jeff! I enjoy the chat about the stuff u received and what’s coming on the channel. Have a good day 😊 I value ur opinion so I look forward to discussions on all the stuff u mentioned. I enjoy the quadrants. I keep hyper focused on the coating application and forget where I’m at with the towels. The numbers are genius. I know I could mark my towels but I worry about the sharpie getting on the coating 🤷🏻♀️
its funny.. i told jamie to do it and then one of the guys sent me a link to show they already existed.
So, the iK Sprayer heads have a traditional bottle thread? I've been wondering if they were universal or proprietary.
They fit every bottle for me.
they fit almost every bottle ive tried them on.
Review the Garage Therapy products when they are shipping from THOR. Supposed to be available about one month from now.
Give it a go! Would love to know what you think about their line!
ill order one of everything when they are available
This is clutch. I’ve always thought about wrapping smaller areas on my own but never quite knew which was reputable seller without the high price point. It definitely seems like one of those things anyone can do it’s just a matter of not being afraid of making mistakes and taking your time. Truck looks great so far
Anything stand out in the cleantle line? Did you buy their reg soap?
Jeff you could start a business off helping Canadians get products from the US lol. Those Auto Fiber leveling towels are borderline genius imo and such a simple yet efficient idea. Looking forward to see Mile Deep in action
Great Unbox and Talk!! Looking forward to my care package! Lol It’s hard to pick what to do next, because I want to see it all! Lol Mile Deep? NXTZEN? Put it all on a wheel and spin!! 😉👍🏼
The Autofiber numbers 🤣 I'll probably get a set for the heck of if when I re-coat the car in spring. What GSM do you like for final buff?
Missing product from THOR! Never! Lol😂
i would say they are doing better than i would expect for a company that is only 3 months old... But yea ive had 2 or 3 orders out of about 25 that were messed up and they made it right.
Great video. Looking forward to the pad washer update. I'm definitely a buyer once the final version is complete..
Great
What about a Chemical Guys full line review?
I honestly thought about that... There are Chemical Guys "detail garages" here where you can walk in and buy anything they have. i thought it might be fun to go there and get one of each type of product and wash like the good old days.
Lol, no. Waste of money.
@@unrealorbit isnt wasting money kind of my thing?
@ totally fair point 😂
@@improvedgarage u might need a trailer 😂 so many things. But yea ur right, the good old days when I was starry eyed. The day I realized there was better stuff was out there. It quickly snowballed from there. I’ll never forget the day I put together my budget friendly pressure washer setup from Josh V and loaded my my Mjjc for first time with Mr Pink. It changed me 🤩😍
Thanks for the pad washer update . Please keep me posted.
Great video! Love the tripod is it a Scangrip light and tripod?
Great video man! I am really enjoying your stuff. Thank you.

@ most appreciated
Thanks for demo! Looks pretty good! I hope ur having a good day as well!
Becca I hope your day is even better than awesome!
You brought up a great point about your applicator turning black after touching your window trim. This is why i always clean trim prior to a full paint correction, coating erc. Thst way if a pad, towel or applicator touches it, i dont end up with dirt messing up my work and contaminating other areas. Even with new cars ill go over trim with a crap towel and some diluted ipa
I don't need a " lifetime" coating (I'm quite certain I would need to polish and re-coat within a few years anyways) but I still wish C6/DIY would allow prosumers like ourselves to purchase this with a high spot waiver. "I understand that if I leave a high spot, I'm an idiot who will have to wetsand and polish the high spot off. If I complain about the coating online, I will be named and shamed for being a cotton-headed ninnymuggins." Or words to that effect. 🤣 In all seriousness, DIY will sell me a polisher than can take the paint right off my car, but won't sell me a coating just due to high spot risks? It appears to me that with the use of APP, it's nearly impossible to leave a high spot with this coating. I suspect the real reason is that the installers want the protection of some exclusivity. Personally, I think that is nonsense. Guys like you and me are never going to take our cars to a detailer... regardless of what coating they offer. A detailer should have plenty of customers they can sell to without having to worry about a few DIY'ers. I really like the way that ADS does it, and Quartz Pro is a good coating for some climates, but I'm not sure it has enough flexibility and resistance to fracturing like we need here up north.
Good video but it would be good to clean a dirty wheel 😂.
lol. sorry.
Thanks for the review Jeff
Great video Jeff. You were to pick one or two products from this line, what would it be?
great job 👍
Anything on the bucket washer splash guard
shipped today, should have an update soon
How did you like the DIY wheel brush? How would you compare to say a EZ Detail wheel brush? Does it sling product at you when you pull it out from the rim?
IMO none of these brushes are good. They all mar the clear. Autofiber barrel blade is all I use for barrels and mitt for the rest.
Different wheel designs require different brush designs. He'll just have to adjust his process to this vehicle. The small EZ detail brush will work better getting between these spokes. I have several different brushes for spokes and barrels because there are so many designs. The EZ floppy bristles are much better than anything that holds its form.
Great Review Jeff! The safety aspect of these products so far is an interesting take for them. At some point I'll have to give them a try, but I might be hard pressed to unseat my current go to's. But I'll never say never!!
Thanks for reviewing some more Cleantle products! I am very interested in this brand due to the importance they place on safety so I'm hoping you have time to take a look at more of their lineup! I generally just wash my own cars so the strength of this is probably perfect. I don't need anything stronger for a disaster wheel. Which wheel brush were you using in this video and would you recommend it over something like the Autofiber Barrel Blade?
Nice video Jeff, can’t wait to try it myself
Thank goodness golly you reviewed a product(s) everyone can get 🤣
First!!!!!!
I think it’s really cool u got to use Hydro! It looks great and I can’t wait to see updates!
The flash time is really 10 minutes minimum? That's amazing
Happy you enjoyed the application process. For future reference, we suggest using one short nap leveling towel, and a thicker towel for the insurance wipe. There’s no need to flip the towel. As soon as your finished soak the towel in your wash bucket for 15 mins. From their launder as normal. No need to throw them away.
Great video, you really confirmed my choice! Any changes in thought since you posted? Thanks.
no, this is still the one i would recommend above all of the others.
Thank you, I need to change spark plugs and they are tricky to get to (Porsche) so the longer slimmer head should be better. Also less torque is probably better as I will break the free and torque them up by hand. Really appreciate your feedback 👍🏻
Just across your video. Great demonstration and explanation of the products. Have you used the Interior Cleaner+ on screens to see how it performs?
Completely useless video as C6 Hydro Pro is not available to consumers. Why demo a product that most of your viewer cannot purchase? Yvan, I thought this coating was so difficult to install and that's why you have C6 Hydro Lite. Nothing against you Jeff but to be considered a pro by Yvan you just need a TH-cam channel to pitch his product?
Dang…negative Nancy over here.
I’m sure other viewers that are pro and maybe considering applying for C6 installer.
Thanks for your concern. We decided to send Jeff C6 Ceramics Hydro because he tends to keep his vehicles longer. C6 Ceramics Hydro isn’t a difficult coating to apply, but if you get a high spot, that’s where the professional part comes in.
@@diydetailofficial So how long you keep a vehicle is a deciding factor if you are a pro or not and can get Hydro? Then I am a pro as I owned my last vehicle for 21 years. To me a pro is someone who does detailing for a living, has a registered business name and all the required licenses and permits required for that business. So the only difference between most of Jeff viewers and himself is a TH-cam channel and that is why you sent it to him. You can't expect everyone to believe if Jeff did not have a TH-cam channel you would have sent it to him if he had contacted you and asked for it. This has nothing to do with Jeff, it's about a company calling a product they make a Pro only coating and then giving it to anyone with a TH-cam channel to pitch their products. If it was Hydro Lite, fine that's a coating anyone can get if they want it. I am guessing that over 80% of Jeff's viewers are non-pros and just enthusiasts that do not have access to this coating.
Sorry about that. I have a fair amount of viewers that detail on the side as part of their income and I was trying to show this for them. Yes you need to apply on their site to buy their pro coatings, you then have a consultation call to discuss the coating with you and then you buy a starter kit that includes a few of their items. The requirements for signing up are that you have a business license and insurance. Im pretty confident that i could get it without the youtube channel, i was able to do it with Armour and im working through it with waxedshine. I think the pro requirement stems from the concern that a high spot with this coating could require wetsanding to remove and that it cant just be polished off like most other coatings, i cant speak for him but im guessing that yvan was comfortable since he has seen me do coatings on camera before, and this was for my personal car so there was no "customer" involved. Overall im really happy with the coating and im bummed that not everyone can buy it, but i can see both sides of the argument. I would like to see more pro coatings be available to the prosumer market in general, the polishing is alot harder than the coating application is.
I'm so excited for you, Jeff. Hydro Pro is insane. Hope you film the first wash. Hydrophobics are just silly.
Just kidding...I was commenting in real time. Just now getting to your wash.
I know you have Pans on your car. How would you compare that to Hyrdo Lite or Pro since they are so similar? I’ve decided I’m going to try another coating on one of our daily drivers in the spring. Trying to figure out which one. What would you suggest? I have Pan’s 8 year on my toy/garage queen.
@ I’d put it right there with C6 lite or pro. Pretty solid and half the price the price.
vroooom *pop pop* … great video, i still don’t like using palm sanders lol…a short throw polisher on speed one works well plus it has the reach of a polisher #trexarms 😜🐿️💨
This was very informative. Thanks for sharing. I was expecting it to be more challenging. I have a couple questions as I work up to doing my first coating. How was the battery life on the polisher? I have been look at that. Keav seems to like other products from SPTA. Would APP be good to use with any coating?
As far as the towels I do the Mike G method and number the corners 1-8. If I get distracted for any reason it's a quick reference where my level and buffing towel are. For what it's worth I prefer Autofiber towels to TRC. It's personal preference, but I feel they are softer.
autofiber actually has a towel that is pre-numbered if you didnt already know. its called the quadrant wipe, and ive considered getting a bunch of them to try them out.
@@improvedgarageI love those. I think it’s the same as the Mr everything but with numbers.
Agree. I just got a bunch of House of Rags towels and so far I’m impressed. Very soft and quality feel.
@@improvedgarage Thanks Jeff I do. I just have a ton of Pearls and other towels. At some point I may get a set just to see
@@wescat2it’s and effective and efficient method to mark your own towels that you already have. I did the same when I tested the house of rags leveling towels. It takes a minute or two to mark them up. Autofiber is a good option though.
