Hey Phil and Jess. That is one boss truck! The owner made a great choice protecting a big investment. He picked the right crew for the job. Looks excellent!
Yes, excellent tip on ensuring panels are dry before buffing as to not create a mess. I like how are you explain things out so well. Great video Phil! 🤜🏼👍🏼
The gloss was incredible after applying Ultra. On newer paints I have been using the yellow Rupes pad as my first option. Sometimes I have to change it up but when they work the gloss is impressive. Smart move coating the interior as I think this is equally as important as protecting the paint. Thank you for the video and congratulations to the owner of this beautiful truck.
I purchased a new 5” Rupes DA last summer and made the switch to their matched system. The yellow pads and polish are the work horse of the system, but I agree, they deliver a good result and also have much needed durability.
The raptor looks great, Phil, another amazing job! Thanks for sharing! Really appreciate your attention to detail (pun intended), and the way you explain every step of the process. Have A Great Day!
Very nice! I have a similar type cover on my truck and was curious about coating it. I'll have to try a little test spot. Thanks for sharing that part, I hadn't seen anything on them. I do believe 303 makes a spray protectant for them.
Yeah sometimes the solid bed covers are a painted textured metal and the coatings don’t apply well on those because of the texture. So a spray protectant like 303 is usually best.
Totally! Thanks man! By the way love the tips and advice you give on the podcasts! We need more detailers teaching real methods, techniques, and advice instead of just dogmatic rules and elitist ideologies. So many “detailers” that only criticize and bully us smaller guys. Keep at it man!
Where r u located . U did such an awesome job with ur wifey on that 2022 Raptor . So beautiful . I have the exact same truck that I bought last week . I'd love to get it done before it has a chance to get aged . To protect it properly .
Hey Phil, awesome job! Question, for leftover waterspots like by the door handle what do you wipe it away with? I always finding leftover waterspots after the vehicle is dried. Thanks!
Hi. Usually we just use a quick detailer to get any stray water drips. That’s another reason why we try to blow dry everything as much as possible. But even still sometimes water drops out! Drives us nuts! 😵💫😆
Hey Phil and Jess, you make some great and informative videos. I have that same tonneau cover and currently use Griot's 3-in-1 ceramic on it. Do you have a recommendation for use on it that might be better? Thanks
Hi. Thanks. So the Griots Products will work great as long as they are providing protection and its easy to clean each time. you could try ceramic coating it also.
AWESOME JOB PHIL AND JESS. I’ve been wondering when you all would advance to Ultra. I am a System X installer now and I think Ultra is comparable to System X Diamond. I know you all have a bunch of the best cordless, battery operated buffers. I have a Rupes Bigfoot DA polisher and I like it but I am tired of messing with cords. Which one do you prefer? Thank you.
Nice job Phil! Always good work and amazing results. Quick question in your experience what are differences between Dr. Beasley's NSP 45/95 to carpro essence? Have seen in your old videos you did used to use carpro essence but seems from atleast newer videos you have steered away from it to prefer this Dr. Beasley's product just curious. Thank you for awesome videos and advice they do sure help.
Hi. Thanks. Great question. So the Dr Beasley's NSP polishes can be used and ceramic coated over immediately. The Carpro Essence polish is great stuff also but you have to wait 24 hours before you can apply their ceramic coating on it. I think our profession for work with any ceramic coating but I haven't tested it to make sure.
If I let my wife have control of the pressure washer there would be more water on me then the truck, just saying lol, the truck came out beautiful 👍😁❤️
I really like the new Rupes pads. I find the yellow cuts a little more than the LC orange. And still finishes down really nice. Haven’t tried their new polish though.. great looking finish in the truck. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👊👊
The McKees didn’t really restore anything. It cleaned well though. The trim shine or 303 protectant we used actually dresses it up. But we have to wipe it down really well to remove any slipperiness.
Hi. I don’t know which size the tip I was using in this one. But we now use this which is a 4.0 25° tip. www.carsupplieswarehouse.com/products/mtm-acqualine-surgical-grade-stainless-steel-nozzle-guard-size-4-0-40?variant=32802933604415
Hi, thank you for your time and expertise. Do I need to top CLS with EXOv4? I just want good protection on the cars and was wondering if I can use CSL as a stand alone?
Oh I see. It’s optional to top with EXOv4 and we charge extra to do that. But if the customer wants it we install both. CSL and CSU are considered stand alone coatings.
I have two new cars for coating. Do you recommend this coating for professional and long lasting coating with the first coating not the second coating ? And for the inside coating?
how is the vibration of the SPTA new vs old? I have the older one and I will say the vibrations do get to me after using it for about 45min or so. I even replaced the crap grease with quality grease and lined the interior of the body with dynamat. If the newer is better I might upgrade. Even though I only do my truck and my wife's SUV so not alot of use I would rather have something more comfortable
@@MirandaDetailing hmmmm those gloves would be the less expensive route. But I do like the speed control on the new one. I hate the old one starts on full power. I mainly run it at the middle speed on it. so being able to select 3-4 and never change would help and make the better last longer
Hi. CarPro Essence css add my be costed right away. If you wait 24h you can coat right over it without an panel wipe. That’s just what I learned from fellow detailers. The NSP polishes however can be coated right away without a panel wipe.
Hi. You mean the bed cover? If so only the plastic parts. The cover itself is a matte painted rough texture that can’t be coated with regular coatings because it can’t be wiped off like normal paint or plastic.
Fabulous looking job. Top notch. When you are doing the leveling and buffing of the coatings, what towel are you using? I'd hate to ruin my good towels. I do have some new cheap towels. Cool video! Hi wife!
Hi thanks. The towels we used for leveling are just the Kirkland yellow towels. I wash them before hand and they work incredibly well. I have had people saying they scratch and all sorts of ridiculous things about them. But what I have learned is that sometimes you get a bad batch. I have had a few bad batches and I just return them and get a new package and they are great.
@@MirandaDetailing ya, that’s what I do/done. But,,,,,,,,, here’s the conundrum, do I coat the plastics first or the carpet/fabric seats first? The fabric/carpet guard is solvent based and solvents will take off water based plastic/vinyl protectants. So now I’ve sprayed the carpet/fabric guard first then let the solvent based guard dry off(which happens fairly quickly because it’s a solvent) and then put the plastic or leather conditioner on. I would like to get/try a pump sprayer with a fan sprayer nozzle (similar to what you use when you spray apc pre rinse on the outside body) I think that will eliminate/reduce the overspray.
Ah I see. The fabric protectant we used is alcohol based and does dry off fairly quickly. But yeah you’re right. Maybe do that first if one is concerned with possibly removing the leather/vinyl treatment.
Hi. I have never had that happen. Not sure in what cases people have that happen. I wonder if they allow it dry completely and then have that issue. But we never deal with that.
Take your mf towel and really get it wet, wring it out well. Do that 2 or 3 times, the last time wring it out REALLY well. Now go over the inside again with no chemical. Do that procedure after each section/door panel. If that doesn’t work let us know, I have an idea why, but let’s see if that works first.
Hey Phil and Jess. That is one boss truck! The owner made a great choice protecting a big investment. He picked the right crew for the job. Looks excellent!
I had made a joke in a previous video that you guys were going to corner the big black truck market! I starting to think that you already have.😂😂
I know right?!🤣😎👍🏼
Wow. Washing and detailing outside. You’re a real detailing professional.
Well its just the wash process. The rest of the service is in our garage.
Yes, excellent tip on ensuring panels are dry before buffing as to not create a mess. I like how are you explain things out so well. Great video Phil! 🤜🏼👍🏼
That's a really nice looking truck... and I'm a Chevy man lol. That's how good you are. Really nice work. You guys killed it. Thank you.
Thanks!
Hi Phil
Nice video
Mrs Miranda finally I see you got him🤣🤣🤣
🤣👍🏼
Your wife is a machine. I love it! Such a great team combo. My grandparents detailed together in the 50’s-70’s.
She sure is!! 😁😎👍🏼
Looks amazing!

Small break in period for those Rupes Pads, once those foam cells open up the pads are fabulous 👌

Paint was not terrible but you can definitely tell a difference in clarity after you polished. Great explanation of steps as always Phil.

@@MirandaDetailing absolutely man! I really appreciate that. That means a lot. 🙌🙌
That Lithium Ignite After Wash is a phenomenal drying aid. I was surprised how well it worked. If you want some added protection left behind.
Nice job looks great!
Nice video. I really like rupes yellow as well but i like the LC orange SDO a tad more. They are cheaper then the rupes yellow pads.

Hi. We are in Chesterfield VA. Google Miranda Detailing
Awesome to see yellow rupes pad featured :-)
I need a nice size garage like that nice and clean
Good morning Phil Joe from Fort Mill Carwash and Auto spa. How are you doing today? What’s your coffee of choose right now
Morning! ☕️ got my coffee from coffee trade this month. Panther Mejor and I also got a package of Lavazza coffee that a friend gave to me recently.
That’s good I got Cinnabon coffee ☕️

You’re welcome!
After applying Gtechniq C4, trim coating, when I wash my car, is there anything I should use to maintain the C4 trim coating?
You can use the Liquid Crystal C2v3 that you use on the paint in the trim also.
Just spectacular Phil. You and Jess do it again. Does Gtechniq require you to be certified for CSU?
Hi. Thanks! Yes to install CSU one has to be accredited. We became accredited this past year. 😎👍🏼. We also became Gyeon this year!
I wanted to ask can any ceramic go over the dr Beasleys polish?
Hi. Yes it can.
Hello Phil + Jess from Australia :) Phil have you tried wearing Latex free gloves - you might be allergic to rubber..
I have tried nitrile gloves and even hypoallergenic gloves and it doesn’t matter. If my hands sweat they get messed up 😕

Hi Phil I’m looking for a Detailing creeper I like the one in this video can you tell me what it is please, thanks in advance.
Hi! You mean these? amzn.to/3wnSGVm
@@MirandaDetailing thanks for the info but I don’t see the one in the Video.
I saw the name of it but can’t make it out while video is playing
Do you mean the rolling chairs we are using?

What is the step stool u got
this one amzn.to/45CUFod
Thing is juiced up
Phil, in your experience, which company has the lowest quality paint application from the factory
Lately Tesla and a few of the new Tellurides have had horrible imperfections from factory, even clear coat runs.
how is the vibration of the SPTA new vs old? I have the older one and I will say the vibrations do get to me after using it for about 45min or so.

Hey Phil. Show us on video how you apply carpet/fabric protector. We would like to see how you do it without getting the spray everywhere
I basically spray and then wipe down plastics I got it on. I’ll have to do a dedicated video on that.

The paint looks like absolute shit and you say it's "not too bad"
Yup. We have seen much worse. Paint condition is very subjective.
