Really nice to see you guys washing with the Legacy Sponge and Incredible Suds, works great together; I’m gonna try that next time! Awesome video, very informative with clear explanations (great emphasis on feel and its importance).
🔥. Matt is so good for filming coatings. Epic result from the master (Yvan sorry Nick 😂). If I get the time to do mine properly I’d like to coat the door shuts and bonnet shuts and any drainage channels as well as we get a lot on mud on the roads from farming and it’s always raining in the Uk. Even when it’s sunny. I’d coat the engine bay as well if I could.
Nick, you look slick with that regular type haircut and shave. That might be a weird thing to say, but it brings out a handsome, professional, and young look. I'm currently rocking a short haircut and growing my beard, which makes my face look slimmer cause I'm a little pudgy (but quickly dropping the fattiness). Love living healthy, including the health of my cars, and watching fave VJs on TH-cam educating me about car detailing and politics(!) Shout out to your kiddo, teach him the stuff you always wanted to know when you were his age. That's my mission when I spend time with my nephew. Aloha Yvan! Beautiful, beautiful car, paint, etc.
Everything's going great polishing my car panel-by-panel with Gold Standard Polish. But I ran into something I know nothing about--chrome trim. Is it safe to use your polish on it? And there's 8 years of swirls in the chrome--does chrome generally have clear coat? Is it too risky to go after swirls in chrome? Thanks!
Great videos as always! Just an advice... Need to watchout those creeper carts more or put some protection on the frame. Looks like the frame hit the rear rim while polishing out the coating 44:29 and way too close to that matte paint for my comfort 43:18. Better be safe than sorry! Thank you guys :D
@@diydetailofficialthat’s what I thought, it’s the camera angle that gives off the illusion the cart is higher than it actually is. Great tool!! Love the potential name you have for it 😂
hey ivan can you please do a video on how to remove water etching and deep deposits on glass using the water fed polisher with the felt pad and cerium oxide powder please i cant find any videos on it and i only listen to you guys
It will cost you less to replace the windows. It’s not something that you’re going to learn from a video. When training new franchisees glass polishing took a week, and lots of windows were scrapped
Is your knee roller stool home built? Or do you have a name I can look up for that? I would love to buy one that is as sturdy as that one. The ones on the market are dog water, and that one looks great.
It is so difficult to understand how so little coating liquid covers such a large area. I realize so little does, but it just takes getting mentally used to. May I ask also, if at all possible, would you guys be kind enough to intentionally make a high spot on a test panel in a subsequent video on non-matte paint? Thanks in advance.
So… was there more then one applicator used in this ceramic coating, and if not the time that it sat on cloth applicator over entire application is fine?
Can the APP be used to prepare unpainted plastic for paint? I know it's designed for ceramic coatings, but I figured it would work since clear coat is plastic and bumpers are plastic also.
I noticed you 'polished' the PPF, - any benefit or cons to doing that? I'm thinking especially about heat and it being (poly)urethane. I assume it will help the coat to stick better to the PPF and that is why you did so. Oh, and why does the windshield look hazy on one side but not the other? Is it just a reflection or is something messing with the refraction? Much love from Norway!
How do you have so much left in the foam cannon after foaming the entire car? I am almost empty after a full pass. I tried dialing it down but still uses a lot. What type of foam cannon are you using?
Will using the 3 year coating on satin wheel rims change the appearance/make it glossy? Customer hates glossy rims but does want the protection, so wanted to check.
Just wondering for All Clean. Is it okay to use it as a pre-wash like other high Alkaline pH soap? Like for the foam-rinse-foam, the 1st foam I use All Clean, rinse it, then proceed the 2nd foam with Incredible Suds/Rinseless Wash. If it is okay, how much should I use for the foam cannon?
Bmw, the toyota has a wind noise problem with driving with the windows down... which for me, is the most fun i have in a car, moonroof open and windows down. It does not have a moon roof, and the windows down is an issue
On white cars if you still have some iron specs after iron remover and Decon towel, polish with GS and yellow pad. Is it just something that has to be accepted and explained to the customer or do you guys have another idea? Also how do you get between the mirror to polish?
@@ziads3653 on a gloss car you can polish, on matte, go over the area again allowing the DIY Detail Iron Remover to dwell, and rub with a MF towel ( lightly)
@diydetailofficial hmmm can I do anything about it? I feel like it's if it's deep it would cause more issues then good for a customer or just in general
What’s up guys need some professional assistance!! I noticed while washing my car that my drying towel would glide across the paint, but when I dry my windows it’s super grabby causing my towel to lint, there’s a coating on there which might be the cause of it but any advice? Should I polish it clean and reapply another coating?
I was under the impression that using clay media on Matte is not a good idea but to let the iron remover and such act via the chemical reaction to the paint surface
@@diydetailofficial I can see Yvan pull out the legacy sponge from the paint soap bucket at 10:55, wash the wheel with it, put it back into the paint soap bucket, pull out a clay towel from that said bucket and begin claying the car.
Easy there cowboy. So the lightly dusty wheel that got foam-rinse-foamed, then barrel - brushed needed some extra soapy water on it before the green brush on the face.... The sponge was used to add liquid to the wheel, probably got barely dirty if at all. No problem. Don't over-think it so much my friend.
@@davidruggles996 These comments make me lol.. rewatched after he made that comment, you’re completely right about it just being used as a way to add more soap to the wheel.

Thank you.
Love the video! I am a new detailer and i learning so much through you guys. Thanks for the vidoes.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you. Yes you can coat all of that. For the engine using DIY Detail Quick Beads every 6 months is great.
Great video!! Hope you get a fix for that drain soon😂😂
So do we, contractors are difficult to get

Is the rotary jeweling pad and Gold Standard polish with 3 passes sufficient to remove a previous ceramic coating?
Yes

You can polish it. Some is plastic chrome, other is metal

@@diydetailofficial great to hear! I can watch it again in peace lol! I was crushing my teeth. Thank you, keep up the great work!
Nick popped the wheel twice at that moment, you could hear it. That front rail needs some protection.
Thanks guys...can you do similar video for wash, policy and ceramic coat PPF?
This , and many cars we have detailed on the channel, treat it like paint.
I will now do this to all my customers with matte paint lol I was always scared to do this
Thank you.

Yes home built, but working on selling them soon
@@diydetailofficial I will be saving my money until then. Wont even bother with the current market models then 👍 I will be looking forward to it.

They have their place

Would you have still applied APP if there wasn't a previous ceramic coat on the vehicle?
Yes
Hey guys what are your thoughts on using quick beads on convertible tops? Car turned out amazing 👍😁
It’s ok, DIY Detail Interior Ceramic Coating is better.
So… was there more then one applicator used in this ceramic coating, and if not the time that it sat on cloth applicator over entire application is fine?
Only one applicator
I used to prime towels on windows, now i prime with a bit of rinseless wash
Good
Is it important to use a strip wash, or using a rinseless wash and polishing is good enough to put on a ceramic coating?
A strip wash isn’t required. Do a good wash and decontamination with a light polish.
Can you use c6 APP by hand for wheels or do you still need to use orbital sander? Thanks
Yes you can
Why can I not find iron remover in the 16oz on Amazon?
We have many distributors that have it
Https://diydetail.com/pages/distributors
Can the APP be used to prepare unpainted plastic for paint? I know it's designed for ceramic coatings, but I figured it would work since clear coat is plastic and bumpers are plastic also.
No, best use a dedicated product.
I have started a detail business. I would like to offer ceramic coating on vehicles. Can you please give me advice on how the contracts need to say?

We don’t generate heat when polishing.
How do you have so much left in the foam cannon after foaming the entire car? I am almost empty after a full pass. I tried dialing it down but still uses a lot. What type of foam cannon are you using?

Why did you use the sponge on the wheel??
To clean it
@@diydetailofficial but will that affect the water for the rest of the car? Asking here genuinely

Yes, that said a high alkaline pre wash is only needed for highly neglected vehicles. It should no be part of your regular wash routine
Thanks @@diydetailofficial its fun to learn many tips and tricks from your videos!

Decontaminate your windows.
@@diydetailofficial clay bar?
Yes
@@diydetailofficialand is that even if the windows feel smooth to the touch?
Yes
Show us how to restore the chrome when it has alot of swirl marks
Good idea
Damn you guys are from Nebraska?
We are based in Omaha, but Nick lives in Utah and Yvan lives out of his bus in Canada. We are there for stretches at a time to record videos
Now I wanna see Ivan with a perm.
lol that was in the 70’s before cell phones
Nick added 4 oz in the foam cannon but didn’t want to say it 🤣🤣😂😂
Sylvie often preps the material, in which case it may have been 1.5 oz
That interior needs a makeover, good effort as always!
What interior?
First and ready
Thank you.

A clay bar can scar the surface, the Perforated Synthetic Decontamination Towel contains no abrasives.

Yvan just squeezed soapy water riddled with brake dust onto the hood and proceeded to clay the vehicle in that spot. Every day he loses credibility.
We use a separate bucket for the wheels
