Hi. Here is a video on our towels th-cam.com/video/zPEGVhSXhRU/w-d-xo.html Here is how we clean our pads th-cam.com/video/1lO8vdgkCRk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/eDfA4GnhldY/w-d-xo.html
I found that soaking your towels in Chemical Guys Microfiber Wash in a bucket for a day before washing works amazing. No matter what was on them are gone before the wash cycle, and it leaves them so soft. Just thought I’d share that with you
Great logic throughout. Yes I would like to see a video on cleaning pads during and after the enhancement. Thanks. It's funny all I kept thinking about was how happy you are in the new garage. 👍🐢😀✝️
Great job Phil👍🏼 F.Y.I. you can raise the wipers by pushing down on the wiper stalk right after you turn the car off, this puts it into service mode✌🏼 Love the video editing Phil📽🎞🎬😸
Hi Phil. Sorry for a second comment so quickly. I have been trying to learn processes as quickly as possible, therefore consuming many professional’s work on YT. CarPro products supplier here in Australia is much more reliable than Gyeon, but i have found Gyeon much much easier to apply as a novice. I have coated my own car three times in the last year (COVID useful for something) and about 10 clients’ cars. Easiest is Optimum Gloss Coat, but nowhere near the gloss of Gyeon or CarPro. Gyeon flashes more readily than CarPro, but you do get similar results. Keep the videos coming as I’m always wanting to learn more. Lloyd
Hi. I have found both Carpro CquartzUK3 and Gyeon coatings to be about the same application wise for us. Performance is also awesome with both. I think it comes down to personal choice and sourcing of the products. I love both
Not sure if all VW's are the same but if you start the car then turn it off and immediately push down on the windshield control stick it will park the wipers in the maintenance position half way up the windshield. You can lift them off the windshield without hitting the hood. Once finished return them to the windshield. Once you start the car they will return to normal operation. Great video!
Hi phil I have a golf r the same you can put wiper to top of windscreens and move blades out of way.all you do is turn on ignition then turn off now start wipers and they will go up windscreen into park position.
Hi Phil. Great video informative and super easy to follow. A lot of cars (mostly European) have semi concealed wipers. Therefore they have a service position which involves moving the wiper lever in a certain way. This will move the wipers 90 degrees and then you can fold them off the windscreen. Each manufacturer has their own sequence, but its really easy to look it up online. This also makes coating the wiper arms easy too.
If all goes according to plan I will coat the same car with gyeon evo pure . New formulations really appeal to me as a hobbyist. As for the windshield wipers, on my car, I turn the ignition key , so it's in contact mode, turn it right off and tap once on the wipers , that way they stay up and now you can fold them without hurting the paint . Bear in mind it's citroen but I found it works on Škoda too .
i've only used a few polishes. Sonax PF, 3D1, cutmax, megs 06 and a few others. Gyeon primer is far and away my favorite polish to work with. they had to put a dye into it lol
great video Phil as always, good relaxing background music, and good car to work on (i'm biased towards the Focus RS though). Can't beat AM Wheels for fragile gloss alloys. Hopefully the AM Hybrid range will be out soon for you try out, its amazing. p.s. somebody stole your new garage..... 😁
On your next Vw ...... you can put the wipers in service, after you turn off the car tap the wipers control and automatically will put the wipers maintenance mode.
Hi. Clear coat on different vehicles will be harder or softer to polish out. Usually Older German vehicles have hard clear coat that takes a long time to compound and polish because it’s very hard. Most newer vehicles however have softer clear coat that is easier to compound and polish but it’s more difficult to finish because it can leave behind a little marring. I guess the only way I can explain it is like working with hard oak wood compared to soft pine wood.
@@MirandaDetailing thanks I'm just breaking into this I'm focusing on paint correction, enhancement and coatings. Keep the content coming. This is quality course on TH-cam. The detail supp,y store in my area charges a arm and leg.
nice video Phil, love it! you make coating looks easy to apply on my Jetta what I do is to turn the ignition to on turn on the wipers and as soon as they go up turn the ignition off so they stay on the upper position and I can pull them off the glass easy. on my wife's Audi I just go to the menu in the infotainment system and it does have an option for the wiper position up or down
Get video and tutorial. Love the color of the lil car. You must have banked this video for like 2 years...lol. I seen there was no snow then the window state inspection of 7 / 20. Im like what is going on....im old ...lol..anyways great job guys
awesome video and tutorial Mr Phil. nice lookn car.its tragic it's not a MOPAR .lol.came out amazing there s a suprise.im sure the trolls,haters, and let's not 4get "DETAILERS " will say something about the paint,tires, the air we breathe, etc.lol.keep up the great work and videos.b well good friend
Very nice results, gloss is great really makes that already great blue color really stand out. Phil, what is your opinion on using Xtreme Solutions Trifecta LVR 369 as a primer?
Thanks! I havent used the Trifecta as a primer, but I'm sure it could work like that if given 24h to cure. But i'm not really sure if its designed to work that way. The Helios Polish is designed to work like that though.
Yes! I'd love to learn how to PPF them Here's a few pad cleaning videos. th-cam.com/video/ak3jzmkUa20/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/1lO8vdgkCRk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/eDfA4GnhldY/w-d-xo.html
Just an aspect of the business side, once we keep a car, we tend to really spend more time and energy on that vehicle than on the road call. How do you charge? I just try to do the same that I would go at a customer's place. I just don't want to spoil the customer.
Yup I completely agree. We do take our time on vehicles that’s come to us for the day. We charge the same amount or sometimes a $25 discount if they drop it off. It doesn’t necessarily mean we put less effort into mobile jobs, it’s really just more hustle on our side for mobile jobs. We prefer to take our time and enjoy the process when it’s at our place.
Did you wait the 24 hours between primer and coating, do a prep wipe, or something in between? I'm got Gyeon coatings ready for our vehicles and there's not much I can find about their primer online. Thanks!
Hi. Yes we coated the paint the next day, no need for an panel wipe, the purpose of the primer is to eliminate the need for a panel wipe, which is awesome! So polish with the primer like any other finish polish. Wait 24hours, then apply the coatings. Gyeon has reformulated all their coatings so now it’s easier to apply and Syncro only needs one layer of Mohs and one layer of Skin.
Hi Phil, great video, loved every minute, a beautiful job Sir !! that blue really is stunning when its clean. Question (even though it sounds like an observation.. One of our home grown high end wax manufacturers released a ceramic coat with its USP being, the coating was 100% compatible with his waxes. Now people like myself who have spent an absolutely rediculous amount of money on waxes but wanted something extra he developed the coating. My point being, he recommends the application method as you have with the microfiber applicator. I have a few cars that I love one being a LWB Lexus LS which Im sure you can guess has acres of paintwork.. Cut a long story short, I felt using the mf applicator technique was great until I reached the bottom of the bottle & still had the boot (trunk) lid & rear bumper to coat. Fortunately I bought 2 bottles so managed to finish the job. It felt as though the MF applicator method used as much as half again & with ceramic coatings costing what they do does the ease of use make up for the additional coating required ?? any thoughts gratefully appreciated.
Hi Thanks! Wow that's crazy that it used that much! I have never even used up a 30ml bottle of coating even on a large Truck. How much do you apply on the applicator for each panel? I use these coatings very sparingly. once the pad is primed from the first application i only apply about 10 drops for each section. We always have about a 1/3 of the bottle left over. Maybe it's our method of application.
@@MirandaDetailing Thank you for your thoughts, they are appreciated. To answer your question as honestly as I can " I havent got a clue " Id put somewhere between 5 & 10 drops on the applicator dependent upon how much of the panel was left to coat. So it really was a surprise but from the sound of your response you dont feel as though you use any more product with a MF applicator. Ive just completed my original Lexus wheels ( after their 4th powder coat & refurb) with small 3 finger MF pads that GTechniq do (www.gtechniq.co.uk/shop/marine/accessories-marine/ap2-ultra-soft-foam-filled-microfibre-applicator/) but I'm not convinced these would be the right way to go for a half acre bonnet on my LS. The MF pad you are using, is it a common or garden applicator or has it a barrier to stop the foam innards from soaking up all the ceramic juices ? I think I will give it another go & see if I can lay my hands on some slim MF applicators that may not soak it all up.. I cant think of another reason for going through quite so much of the ceramic juice. ( It was my first time with a MF applicator but only loading the applicator when it was dry I dont know how I could use any less, perhaps I buy smaller cars........................ NOT ) Take care Phil, wishing you and yours success, health & happiness.
Yeah that is strange, I guess try the microsuedes and see if it makes a difference. I just use the regular cheao blue round applicators, some guys do like the coating savers like these. bit.ly/2LWbC9u
@@MirandaDetailing Thank you for your time & thoughts. Those applicators appear as they might be my answer, its just a shame they want $67 USD for shipping.. Hopefully someone will import a box load before I need one. We can live in hope, we havent got The Turtle Graphine yet & no date when It might be available. Likewise with 303 Graphene/ Think we are probably labelled 3rd world country now.. :-) take care fella, you are a gent.
Awesome job on the VW!! How would you compare the user experience with Mohs vs CSL?? Which do you feel is hard after curing? I always save my applicators and check them the next day like you did. Did try one coating recently that was disappointing soft afterwards. Thank you!!
Thanks! It’s hard to compare some coatings. I really enjoyed using both Gyeon and Gtechniq coatings. But CSL is in my opinion easier only because one layer is needed. But both harden up on the applicators really well. Both are super hydrophobic also. I just think CSL is easier to apply.
Hi. Nope. they are Kirkland Yellow towels. They work great! People give them a bad rap, but I think they get a bad batch and write them off completely.
You can do a light polish every 6 months or so with something like an All in one polish like 3D speed or something else. That won’t remove clearcoat. It simply glosses up the paint and reduces light marring and swirls.
Hi. Our ceramic coating services start at $1000 for a 1 year, $1200 for a 2 year, $1500 for a 3-5 year and $2000 for a pro 7-10 year. Prices may vary due to size and if the customer wants wheels off, or extra paint correction.
Hi. Not that I know of. I have never tried it. But it would be interesting if it worked that way. After 24h hybrid solutions cures and is stackable. So it could work in theory.
I don’t have a preference on graphene or regular Sio2 coatings yet. We need more time to see if graphene is truly better. I use both clay mitts/towels and clay bars. Mitts for top surfaces of the vehicle and traditional clay bar for bottom surfaces since they are usually the worst. The clay bar will definitely pick up more. No need for APC rinsing on coated cars unless they are super dirty or towards the end of their life.
Hi Phil Do you not wash off the snow foam before doing the clay barring ? Looks like you use the snow foam as lubrication Do you not do a separate contact wash?
Nope. The prewash or APC rinse that we do cleans the paint so well all we need to do is foam and contact wash and clay bar or mitt at the same time. It cuts down on product and water waste. Check this video out it explains all of that th-cam.com/video/rBHhe26eChM/w-d-xo.html
Phil, this video shows how to put a VW into service mode so you can lift the wipers like other cars. Had to do this when changing my blades. th-cam.com/video/ss2SPHpT0H0/w-d-xo.html

Opening the hood allows you to move the wipers out of the way. I have a VW Jetta and to get full access to the windshield, I have to do that.

Am I right that you put a layer of snow foam on for the clay cloth lubricant
Hi. Yes we do foam it for that extra cushion while washing and using the clay mitt
@@MirandaDetailing I like the idea, I will be doing it myself 👍
Shiny 👀😎👍
Is the yellow towell also edgeless from rag company?
Hi. Nope. they are Kirkland Yellow towels. They work great! People give them a bad rap, but I think they get a bad batch and write them off completely.
since it sat over night, do you find any dust to accumulate? If so is there any small prep you do right before polishing?
Yeah It will get a little dust on it, but we just use the blower and remove any dust before coating it.
So if I needed to do a cut and polish . Then do I need to use the primer as a third step before the ceramic coat?
Hi. Actually you could use the primer as a finish polish and primer in one. It finished very well after a heavy cutting from a compound.
@@MirandaDetailing great thanks ! I’m learning a lot from you and your wife . I really appreciate it 👊🏼✌🏼
You’re welcome!
hey phil, how often can you do a polish like that on a new car?
Light polishing is fine for a long time. But heavy compounding maybe 2-3 times and that’s it.
@@MirandaDetailing Thanks! Do you think a polishing a car once a year would be okay or is that too much? Sounds compounding every year would be bad.
You can do a light polish every 6 months or so with something like an All in one polish like 3D speed or something else. That won’t remove clearcoat. It simply glosses up the paint and reduces light marring and swirls.
@@MirandaDetailing awesome, thank you phil!
Phil...u prefer the cquartz line or the gyeon line? Any durability difference?
Hi I like both as far as durability, I like that Cquartz doesn't require multiple layers like Gyeon does. Both are also very easy to apply.
What’s the cost of this service
Hi. Our ceramic coating services start at $1000 for a 1 year, $1200 for a 2 year, $1500 for a 3-5 year and $2000 for a pro 7-10 year. Prices may vary due to size and if the customer wants wheels off, or extra paint correction.
What glass cleaning cloth do you use to avoid streak inside and out of the windows?
Hi. I have some great options here th-cam.com/video/3podlVf48y0/w-d-xo.html
What towels are you using to remove the coating?
Hi. Just the Kirkland yellow brand towels. They work perfectly.
Awesome! Those are the ones I buy. Do you use the low nap side or high side?
I use both sides but I start with the fluffy side first
Can I use Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Polish and Wax like a Gyeon primer
Hi. Not that I know of. I have never tried it. But it would be interesting if it worked that way. After 24h hybrid solutions cures and is stackable. So it could work in theory.

Hi Phil
Do you not wash off the snow foam before doing the clay barring ?
Looks like you use the snow foam as lubrication
Do you not do a separate contact wash?
Nope. The prewash or APC rinse that we do cleans the paint so well all we need to do is foam and contact wash and clay bar or mitt at the same time. It cuts down on product and water waste. Check this video out it explains all of that th-cam.com/video/rBHhe26eChM/w-d-xo.html
