- Introducing the Blue Collar product line.
A solo venture from Brian at Apex Detail creating surface production sprays and coatings that are fun to use, easy to apply, effective and glossy, and very economical.
Blue Collar 3........apexsurfacepro...
These products were developed for daily use at our shop as we are in the trenches daily just like yourself. They were developed to put a smile on our picky clientele and now they are available for YOU to experience. Enjoy!
Blue Collar 3 Blue Collar maintenance/detail/gloss enhancement spray. Blue Collar 3 can be used many ways. As a detail spray, it can remove fingerprints, light dust and boost gloss and slickness on painted surfaces. Can be used on any hard, external surface of your car, truck, motorcycle, boat or RV.
Blue Collar 3 can also be used as a maintenance spray or topper for existing coatings or sealants. You can use it as often as you wish and can be layered. Blue Collar 3 can be used as a stand alone form of protection using its rich Sio2/Polymer formula. An average of 3 months durability has been documented. A little goes a long way! Shine on!!
DIRECTIONS: *Find the cleanest, cool environment out of direct sunlight and let the fun begin! *spray lightly into clean, slightly damp microfiber or application pad and spread out onto panel from top to bottom. Immediately use a second clean, dry microfiber to buff off. *There should be no streaks, shadows or haziness. If you notice these, you may be using to much of this concentrated formula. *Let surface cure 4 hr away from free flowing water or rainfall. *Enjoy results! The slickness and intense gloss will continue throughout the next 10 days.

Those of you that use BC3 .....share your experience! :)
Whatever happened to your trim Coating?
is it only me or did the voice go too high and distorted at 5:00 ?
Bc3 is alsome on top of bc2 my car glows
I purchased BC3 to use as a topper for the BC1 I applied to my girlfriend's orange Dodge Charger. Brian, BC3 is everything you said it is--super easy to apply and gives great gloss and slickness. I'm very pleased with its performance.
@@Amor1990 I will have a version for Blue Collar.. stay tuned.
Been using BC3 on top of a new base of BC9. What I like about BC3 is that it builds since I use it after every wash. Probably could have skipped the BC9 and just use BC3 as a stand alone product since I use it once or twice a month. BC3 gives me the best Gloss out of any product I have used including the ceramic sprays from the big box stores.
*Brian, I trust you and followed you for years and you have been the most consistent on evaluations of EVERY PRODUCT not blowing smoke up your chimney either.*
This is the final product I reach for after every wash or just as a general detail at the end with a vehicle. The whole blue collar line is outstanding!! 💙
Thanks for sharing!
The Audio was compromised during the upload process....I am working on editing the segment as we speak. My apologies.
Complete confidence and not insecure like some people in Dallas where you're not even allowed to discuss other coatings and always bashing other products lol. I love this channel
You come off as one of those insecure people from Dallas. Kinda funny how that works.
I use this as a stand alone… very happy!
The gloss this product delivers is outstanding! Beads like crazy! Chemical resistance is awesome! Home run out of the park! Everything you could want out of a quick detailer!
The confidence you instill into your products is admirable! That confidence is then passed on to your customers, especially me. I know that you stand behind your shop, your work, and your products. You're not a huge chemical company that can skate by with mediocre products, but a small shop that pursues a product worthy enough to carry your name! I'm proud to be a BC line user and installer for myself and my customers.
Great video, Brian! I love this product. I live in Florida....the summers are no joke. I have no problems applying BC3 in direct sunlight. The gloss that BC3 gives off is amazing!!!
I use BC3 this afternoon on my C7! BC3 super easy to use. A little goes a long way. I’ve never seen the paint on my Corvette look so good. This product is worth double what it cost. This is one that I’m going to always keep around. Seriously it’s worth every penny!
how much it costs?
Can wait use it on Saturday. I bought 3. Thanks, Brian for the discount n for the awesome videos you do. Much appreciated n grateful.
Great drying aid and quick detailer. I use it often and is definitely one of my favorites even put in one of my mini IK sprayers as my quick go to product. Excellent shine and a great slick feel under the towel.
I'm going to be ordering Blue Collar 3 from you Brian, very impressive results from your review. I'm in Melbourne Australia look forward to trying it out on my black Mercedes Benz Vito Van.
it's effortless because you designed it. nice work. ordered.BTW, that is one Bitchin ride. love the color combo.
Love your videos, I always get a new tip from you!!!! I did not know you can spray the drying towel with it
I can say not only did Brian impress me on these vids. He answered rhe phone when i just called. Very professional and im making a solid attempt to make it out there in April for a seminar. Cant wait to use their products when they arrive!!!
Hey Brian. The Doggy is so adorable.
I have used it several times now. I have two white vehicles and it really makes them shine. Super easy to use. I have tried a lot of different ones over the years and I will be buying this again when I run out,
You are the MAN! I think you might be the Detailing KING out here in this cold World! Love your detailed Videos. Keep up the good work!
I am no king…just a fellow detailer that loves what he does.😀
Another awesome video and product review good friend
Purchased BC3 and BC2 from Auspro here in Australia , excellent service and experience.
I washed my car last night 3 weeks after its application and the beading was excellent and the vehicle was still holding its gloss... i could almost dry the vehicle with water from the hose the runoff was that good..
As a drying aid it was faultless, no smearing or residue..
Love the results i wish we could put pictures up on TH-cam.
I appreciate the feedback.
The feedback is appreciated.
Great products, I have coated a half dozen cars with BC1 and topped with BC3 with great results. I have also used BC3 on security camera dome lens to help with water spots and it has been working great.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm running low on Xtreme Solutions Topper. How does BC-3 compare to Topper? What does it do better, and what does of do worse? Would it make a good replacement for Topper?
Superb. That Citrol 266 test on the panel was fantastic. Great looking product.
Awesome video, definitely need to try it!
I use it over tac moonlight and it is a top notch product
Absolutely amazing stuff!! Now.. I need itttttt!!!
Best gloss and ease of use. Thanks Brian.
Great looking product line which I plan to use personally and for my customers!
Looks like a great product, thanks Brian 👍😁
As soon as I use up what products I have, this will absolutely be my next purchase .... maybe even before I use up what I have
Great review and what a great product. Thanks Brian
Thorough, informative and incredibly detailed as always!
Much appreciated!
This is crazy, I have to try it out, by the gallon lol. Also some #2 for sure.
Hi brain will be ordering from the uk 😎😎
Just ordered BC3 from Carzilla(up here in Canada) for my Torch Red, crazy shine numbers!!
Brian I have been watching you for years and really enjoy your excellent reviews and detailing knowledge you share with us all.
Question: I use Armor shield IX coating, have you applied BC3 as topper, if so how did it work as a topper on that coating?
Nice can’t wait to try mine out.
PS. Turn your volume down before frame at 5:50. Other than that another great Apex video. Thanks Brian!
Love it, will be using Apex auto wash and BC3 tomorrow!
Enjoy!
Can’t wait to see the bc2 stress test
That will be the next video.
Love the ease of use... hard to not get great results
Another great product Brian 👊🏼I will order it tomorrow morning and I will use it on my Camaro ✊
That was impressive! Citrol is a beast of a solvent and your product resisted it.
I’m using it to top Apex Metal oxide and now BC1. Aldo experimenting on glass.
Hi Brian, what is the self life of this product? I am just a weekend warrior so self life of the product is very important for me.
Wow impressive
Shop Manager approved!😁
Absolutely!
Nothing else to say but damn impressive Brian! 🍻🍻🍻
Thank you....we love it here at the shop.
Hi Brian, I recently received my bottle of BC3 and when it arrived there were ice crystles in the bottle indicating that it was some what frozen. I'm up here in Canada it's been a bit chilly so my question is has the product been degradated ? Thanks Chris
Beautiful
Excellent. I bought the BC1-4 bundle and can’t wait to try them all. Your coated car looks as glossy and hydrophobic as anything I’ve seen out there.
Have you had a chance to compare your coatings with the new Diamond Protech line? I do like that you have BC3 in the lineup, because I like to use something at least as a drying aid for each wash.
I have not had the pleasure....as of yet. On the to do list.
Hi Brian. Hope you're well. You sold me; ordered a gallon. BTW, I'm still using QP ON 2.0. It's my secret LSP. :)
Enjoy!!!!. I look forward to some feedback from you.
@@apexdetail85 Nothing negative to say. This may be a first. I've been using the QD from the Gloss Shop as my go-to. It offers very little protection, but a joy to use and leaves behind a noticeable gloss. For my use, BC3 takes that to a higher level. Remarkably easy to work with and so economical; the BC sprayer does a fantastic job of dispersing the product evenly. Very little is actually being used. It's a value. I didn't expect to see any streaks or hazing and none was found.
BC3 offers a surprising degree of protection. I hit it with the most potent degreaser I have, made to clean up machine cutting fluid. It'll remove most LSPs quickly. BC3 held up for a while. Significantly longer than expected, especially for a maintenance product.
Its gloss does seem to increase with time. I hit some grey pearl paint with it, the entire car. It's not exactly the most reflective finish. The car was coated about a year ago. BC3 made it look like a candied apple with _sharp_ reflective properties. Beading, sheeting...forgetaboutit. Fantastic. I guess I should try the coatings next. Impressive, Brian. Really.
Addendum, as this video came up in my feed. A friend deals in uncommon cars. I do some work for him once in a while. He brought a '56 Fiat 500. White. It was imported into the US about 18 months ago. Talk about a scary detail. All ordinal rubber gaskets and paint. Couldn't put a buffer on it; just didn't feel comfortable with it. Long story short, ended up using BC3 as the LSP. Truly made the white pop. My friend was happy. It was either that or a glaze, and I haven't used a glaze in at least a decade. Pretty sure that I still have some Meguiars #7...somewhere.
If I believed in reincarnation, I would want to come back as paint maintained by Apex Detail. Folks, the auto detailing knowledge dropped on this channel is exceptional. Congratulations on the new product line. Will definitely pick up some products once I used up my older stuff 💯🎯🔥
Much appreciated....Cheers!
Hello Brian,
From Mexico we also admire your work and use some advice from what you show in your reviews.
Now the most important question, when you will have international shipments to be able to test your product line in Mexico.
We are a large community of detailers who would be interested in testing your products.
Greetings from Mexico.
Has any one in Australia bought and tried this? We get some serious sun and heat.
Amazing! But.. where to buy in EU? 😉
Looks like a great product. I currently use Gtechniq c2v3, but mighr be switching to this. Can this be used for vinyl wrapped cars?
Hey Brian,great video.What did you use to foam the car
If you have an ik sprayer works phenomenal.
Brian, the Bilt Hamber Auto foam, is it ok to use this on every wash or will this diminish your coating quicker. Thanks for your hard & continued work for us DIY'ERS
Should you prep before using ? Wipe vehicle down with 50/50 iso alocohal / water ? Don’t need to clay bar first ?
Impressive as always.
I wish you the best of luck with your continued success! It's great to see you succeed, Brian.
PS. Just for fun, what happened to the torch on the test hood?
Thank you! I need to fuel up that little torch again...thank you for reminding me! :)
Impressive!
Question…if im going to use a decon, clay bar and then the Rupes 3 in 1 correct/protect before applying Blue Collar 3 i jus purchased from your site. Should i apply paint prep before polishing with this, or should i apply it after, which will then strip any little protection the 3 in 1 offers. I want the BC3 to add as much protection as possible and adhere as well as it can…but also dont want to waste time with uneeded steps since im a newbie and just getting into detailing again after buying my new truck. Thankss! Much appreciated. Your channel helps a lot with how to and knowledge of what products to put money into. Since the market is so saturated with similar products and marketing
Brian are you able to do a comparison of BC2 vs. Phoenix Immortal?
Wish I could try it but no sale here in Turkey 😢
Is sheeting or beading?
Thanks Brian for this!! I can’t wait for winter to be over and try this line. Dose Carzilla have your soap??
Yes…under Phoenix EOD
Thanks Brian!!
Seems like an awesome product. Would suggest to anyone who is looking for an affordable set of products to dial-in an automobile. Get the Apex Auto Wash too.
I completely agree.
Do you ship outside of the USA?
Fantastic review of a great product, Brian! BC3 has become my go-to ceramic detailer and topper. I also ordered BC 2 and 4, but haven't had a chance to use them yet. But I certainly will eventually! I can say without any doubt, anything you put out in this line, Brian, I'll be purchasing it if I need a product in that particular category. Period. Quick question, just to confirm for my own info -how many hours would give you give BC3 to cure before you expose it to the elements? Thanks!
2 hours is more than enough.
Can you use this on top of a glaze?
Nice 😎
Pretty sure you blew some speakers at the 5 minute mark!! Looking good
The sound distorted during the upload process. 🤷🏼.
@@apexdetail85 👍
When will this be back in stock?
Hi Brian, so no need to use 2 towels? One 2 spread and one to buff off? Thx
How would this hold up to a jet ski that is hitting continuously for 4-5 hours against the water?
What do you do with the towels after your done?
Hi!how is it compare to geyon wet coat?thanks
Can it be used over a graphene coating such as turtle wax graphene wax?
Absolutely....gets along with most protectants.
Hi Brian.
Any experience or knowledge how the BC line works and lasts on gelcoat?
Hi brain can you use your BC range on vinyl raps??
Wasn’t PZ the original car protection dealerships were offering? Or am I thinking of something else? 🤔. Great results either way!
What they offer is on par with a polymer sealant.
@@apexdetail85 Thank you Brian!
Hi Brian , amazing video and great explanation as usual, do you make a worldwide shipping?
Thank you
We have distribution in Canada, UK and Australia. Possibly Japan and India next.
@@apexdetail85 hopefully soon you can ship to the whole world so we can get this amazing products
Does it play nice as a drying aid with a rinseless wash
Absolutely fantastic in that role. Less is more, two sprays does a panel no problem. Just wash your towels ASAP though.
@@jdisdetermined thx
@apex detail any jetting effect?
Looks good, better than TW pure shine, how good is it for repelling dust (STATIC) I tried pure shine and found it not any better than most other products.
Honestly about the same as most detail sprays.
I’ve actually noticed improved static and dust repellency with pure shine over their 3-1 detailer. I’ll have to order this BC3 n test it
Will this product have a expiration? Can one bottle be used one time then used again a month 2 months down the road?
If you spray it on your drying towel will it be tough to clean in the washing machine? Seems like it would repel the water cause towel to need to be replaced. My drying towel are my most expensive microfibers.
No worries…at 5% solids .. the towel will wash clean and soft. I would not try that with our Blue Collar 2 at 25%
Brian, how would BC3 compare to Tec 582, which is my current detail spray?
Looks great! I’d like to buy a bottle now but shipping is steep almost the cost of the product. Any other shipping options or codes? Thank you!!
Send me an email… I will see what I can do.
miragebjs@yahoo.com.
Does BC3 fill-in any imperfections?
Brain just curious how it holds up to tunnel wash. My parents car I coated with your product and my father takes it threw the tunnel every now and then to get that NEPA salt off
Every once in a while is fine.....daily visits would be detrimental.
Hi Brian, curious to what your recommended wait time would be before topping BC1 with BC3? 24 hours?
Just four hours. The bonding process is quick.
Do you make the kids clean your stuff up from outside when you’re done 😁
How did you know?!
I want to use Apex BC3 that you developed. In Korea, please
Can BC3 be used directly after coating a vehicle with a product such as Gyeon Pure Evo?
Yes.. it plays well with others. Just be sure whatever you use first… gets it’s proper cure time.
can it be layed
Is this replacing rehydra bead and sheet?
Yes....Blue Collar has completely taken over.
