Phil , Jessica has a awesome sense of humor. I enjoyed her walking in front of the camera because it gets under your skin. It’s beautiful to see two loving people having fun while working together. Bravo Miranda’s !
I would like to say thank you for the tips! I've used some of these in my shop and it's made a difference. Got 16years experience but always open to new ideas!! Keep up the awesome work and have a Blessed Day
Phil and the others here on TH-cam have a wealth of knowledge and information. I worked as a detailer in a dealership for 40 years before retiring a few months ago. I learn new stuff everyday here on TH-cam. No matter what trade you work in everyday is a school day.when you stop learning,you stop living.
Nice Work! also very nice of you to mention another detailer's videos or channel wish there were more people like you especially here in Australia then my passionate work would be seen.
As a weekend warrior i find it very interesting to hear your thoughts about the profession your in, some of which crosses over to my hobby. Today i was not going to detail my car, watched your video. Let you guess the rest.😁😁
I gotta say Phil, I have seen you do the contact wash with a wash mitt and clay mitt and I’m kinda intrigued by that. I think I will be giving that a go the next time it’s necessary to clay some panels on my car. Nice video. Till the next one.👍🏻🇨🇦As a P.S. I use Koch Chemie Motorplast and it is a great product and really does look great. Just thought I would put that out there.😂😂
Awesome video you guys like always! I took my 2022 truck in today to get a whole full service and Ceramic coating let’s see how it comes out in a couple days. Told them to take there time.
Phil, I've had a "debate" with others about your commentary about what services to offer the customer. I've been considering going the other direction: "specializing" on a specific detailing package, and not offering much if any alterations to that. If there's not an alignment between expectations and service, then I'm just not the person for the job; no hard feelings on either side. Something I've learned as I've gotten "older", is learning to know when to say "no, not for me." Yes it'll limit the pool of customers, but I think it'll be more satisfying to both myself and the potential customers. Perhaps as my experience grows I'd expand my offerings, but if not then no harm no foul.
Hi. Yeah I totally understand that. To a certain degree business have to do they have to do. It comes down to personal choice and not really a “business” strategy. When one is starting their business they usually do whatever they can to gain customers and then start to streamline their services so as to be the most efficient and make the most money while keeping quality at a standard. After 13 years for us we have also streamline our services and will definitely say no to certain jobs becasue we either don’t need it or don’t want it. Good info man! Thanks for sharing.
Wow!! What an awesome transformation! That car was pretty dirty inside and out. Great job guys! When washing with a clay mit, is there any special preparation or storage necessary to keep in in good shape between uses?
great video as always man i love the dynamic you and your wife have.....my wife have has started to help me when i go out on detail jobs quick question......i use super clean as my foam soap wash from time to time....can i use that as lubricant for my clay mitt? i dont quite know what is safe and what isnt safe for a clay lube if it isnt already stated on the label
Nope. All newer vehicles from the 90’s on you can get things in there and it’s fine. We don’t get extremely close to anything anyway plus we blow dry and start the car to dry everything in there.
Excellent video again man!! Question…when doing the paint enhancement;do you charge less when doing an all in 1 instead of a single stage?…if yes what’s the difference
Hi. Great question. So we have 3 exterior choices Paint Protection (wash, decon, sealant) Paint Enhancement (wash, decon, polishing to 50%+ defects, sealant) then Paint Correction (shooting for 90%+ defect remove) however if the customer wants something in between the Paint Protection and Enhancement and not worried about swirl removal that’s when we offer an All in one polish that usually gets about 25% or so but it’s not going as far as an enhancement. But I only offer that as an alternative option if they are concerned about the Enhancement price. So it’s a compromising service that still makes money but makes the customer happy. Everyone has their definition of what an all-in-one, a single stage, and an enhancement means. I try to keep it simple by just using enhancement as my 50% polishing defects removal service.
I see that you are still using your traditional APC rinse instead of the KC soaps……. I was about to buy the KC super foam or maybe the active foam. Is there a reason that you are not using the soaps instead of the apc ?
@@MirandaDetailing is super foam really more effective than the active foam and compared to the usual apc rinse ? I hesitate between the 2 soaps just because i don’t want to degrade my Mckees37 graphene coating when occasionelly foaming my truck. But main usage will be to remove dirt from custommers cars before washing. My usage does not allow to get both!!!!
So if you have a ceramic coating already there is now need to do a pre wash or apc rinse all the time. Only if you notice it’s really dirty. I would go with the active foam instead because it’s a ph of 9 and it’s not as strong as Super foam or super clean as a apc rinse. I only do a strong apc rinse or pre wash on vehicles that are in for our full services. Maintenance details don’t need that much pre washing.
@@MirandaDetailing this is my intention too only for cars in for a detail but i want to use it 2-3 times a year on my coating when really dirty after a canadian winter or after a long roadtrip with lots of bug. Main usage will be for clients car. So will the 12ph hurt my coating if only used a few times ?

Greetings from the Heartland! Job well done...
Thanks so much! Where is Hartland by the way?
@@MirandaDetailing The Hartland of the US, the Midwest.
Cool. 😎👍🏼
Thanks again Sir/Madam😇🙏❤️
I almost bought a Santa Fe 😂😂 I ended up going with a Tuscon and was just thinking about getting it detailed

I’m doing haundai Santa Fe also with paint Protection film installation
What was that you used under the hood? Lithium Ignite? Google lense for the win?
Awesome video Phil. What did you guys use to polish the glass?
Hi. Usually P&S Clarity cream or Carpro Ceriglass with microfiber discs.
Hey Phil! What do you use for washing your microfiber towels? I tend to get streaks all the time and it seems like it's from my towels. Thanks!
Hi. We have been using this bit.ly/3xN5Qvg. Use code Miranda10 for 10% off
Wow!! What an awesome transformation! That car was pretty dirty inside and out. Great job guys! When washing with a clay mit, is there any special preparation or storage necessary to keep in in good shape between uses?
Thanks! For the clay mitts just rinse them out and let them dry clay side up and you will be good to go!
great video as always man
i love the dynamic you and your wife have.....my wife have has started to help me when i go out on detail jobs
quick question......i use super clean as my foam soap wash from time to time....can i use that as lubricant for my clay mitt?
i dont quite know what is safe and what isnt safe for a clay lube if it isnt already stated on the label
Thanks man!
So I don’t use super clean as a soap or clay lubrication, but I’m sure you can, I would dilute it 1:10 though because it’s strong stuff.
@@MirandaDetailing thanks bro
i saw in an earlier video you use ONR diluted as a lube as well...i might go that route too
You’re welcome. Yeah ONR is way better to use as a clay lube, it’s ph neutral and designed for that.
Came out amazing as always. Do u know this products durability,3 months max?
Hey man. Actually the Koch Chemie Spray Sealant boosts 6-8 months
when you spray the engine does that damage the electrical wiring
Nope. All newer vehicles from the 90’s on you can get things in there and it’s fine. We don’t get extremely close to anything anyway plus we blow dry and start the car to dry everything in there.
Lets go 💪

Wonderful! Thank you so much for the reply and tip 🙏🏾
32 degrees in august? Thats sounds real nice right about now since I live in way too hot california
😂 I know right?! THis was filmed this past spring right after winter
@@MirandaDetailing ahh tricked us
😁👍🏼
I have a question, what would the best leather conditioner be that you recommend?
Hi. We love this stuff amzn.to/3BZt6ta
Is that how soapy your cat will be when you decide to give her a bath lol one day
😂😂😂
I see that you are still using your traditional APC rinse instead of the KC soaps……. I was about to buy the KC super foam or maybe the active foam. Is there a reason that you are not using the soaps instead of the apc ?
Hi. I go back and forth because I have so much product to use. Either way works actually. It’s just personal choice. 😎👍🏼
@@MirandaDetailing is super foam really more effective than the active foam and compared to the usual apc rinse ?

So if you have a ceramic coating already there is now need to do a pre wash or apc rinse all the time. Only if you notice it’s really dirty. I would go with the active foam instead because it’s a ph of 9 and it’s not as strong as Super foam or super clean as a apc rinse. I only do a strong apc rinse or pre wash on vehicles that are in for our full services. Maintenance details don’t need that much pre washing.
@@MirandaDetailing this is my intention too only for cars in for a detail but i want to use it 2-3 times a year on my coating when really dirty after a canadian winter or after a long roadtrip with lots of bug. Main usage will be for clients car. So will the 12ph hurt my coating if only used a few times ?
Ah gotcha. No if you only use the Super Foam a few times a years that’s fine.
Must be old videos, looks like winter time, zero foliage?🤔
Yup. Filmed early spring
