Thanks to all for making this video series happen. It is great to hear different views and hear the WHY. I am a strong believer that if someone gains the knowledge as to WHY they use a paticular product or follow a particular process, they start to truly understand what's what. Keep up the conversations.
Great video, I really enjoy watching and learning from you guys. Keep the great info and fun coming. My car is in winter storage now. Can't wait for spring to try some of your tips.
I love it how you teach the customers how to maintain their washes with your coatings or even after getting a detail from you. After all, it is completely pointless to have a few thousand into a fully corrected paint and coating on top of that just for the owner to go into those 1 minute automatic tumbler carwash because they didnt know any better and ruin the whole finish. I learned the hard way that learning the customer and teaching them proper paint care along the way should be part of detailing and not only detailing itself as I've seen people use the duster using 5 lbs of force, or even drying their car with a 10 year old absorber, or drying the car with a bathing towel. Please post some vids on the coating products you use and what you recommend for a dd.
Glad to hear it! Don't know if you are still out there where the weather is nice or back in the lousy humid air here in good ole KY, but either way, hope you enjoy/enjoyed your trip. Glad to know you didn't get warshed down stream again :)
I agree with the Junkman's way of taking care of his daily. I have been trying to keep my daily clean in Northern Wisconsin. I have to wipe it down every day...
Lol relatable with having a daily beater. Working in construction its easier to drive a beater and not worrying about the elements the industrial fallouts and etc.. And parking next ti sprinklers.
Not sure if I missed this in the video, is ceramic coating more value for money in the long run for the consumer? (assuming no mishaps/accidents) compared with a "similar" upkeep with wax & sealants.
I use the sealant Junkman was talking about with the 36 hr cure time, it polishes out light marring from washing with ONR. Polymere sealant was applied last week and topped it with a liquid wax/sealant (rubbed it on by hand) and now it looks amazing. This should give me plenty of paint protection for the upcoming winter weather. Normally, I use a spray wax to keep a coating on the paint to prevent oxidation. My vehicle is parked outside and looks like it was just purchased from a dealer (that's what the safety inspection station said LOL) Junkman, I just ordered some polish products from HT due to the price difference of other popular brands. Have you ever used anything besides the sealant and tire dressing?
Not really an issue. A wax is a wax, the difference being man made or natural. Both will work but their duration times will differ. Same with sealants.
+Junkman2000 Thanks brother, I really appreciate your input, I get the waxes but having a hard time discerning between different coatings- which brand / how long or which is best for the weekend warriors , idk...too many choices.
William That would be a research assignment. There's where you have to do the Google research and first locate the different types or coatings out there as Levi pointed out in this video, and then make a decision. In a nutshell, it comes down to whether or not you are looking for a professional brand that must be applied by an authorized service center or a DIY brand. That is the FIRST choice that you have to make before you can even begin your research. Then your choices get narrowed down big time.
what was the intended lesson of this discussion. ? MHO, too technical, bunch of hibbie jibby words that don't register with average guy. sounded like a sales pitch for Levi's shop
Good feedback Dane. You're correct when you say that some topics are kinda technical and that's really the only way to discuss them. There's also a LOT of interest with this topic so a bunch of folks are going to be very interested to hear what is talked about in this video.

I totally agree on the WHY and say that a lot in my videos. Because if you don't understand WHY you're doing something, WHY would you do it?

Gotta love you two guys, hilarious and fun videos.
Can't wait to see more, always nice to learn some more.
The two great ones right here !greetings from Northern California
So what’s your favorite sealant wax combo. I just got some beadmaker maybe I’ll just wax and use beadmaker without the sealant
In your opinion:What is the best paint protection, other then coatings, for someone's car that will be going through a carwash monthly?

keep it coming! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise gentlemen.

Junkman I'm still out to lunch on coatings, however I do want to try one. Keep the vids coming.
It might be quite awhile before I do anything on my car because I know how to touch my paint and I enjoy rubbing on it.
Junkman is a g. Sleeper as a daily and a nice summer time car thats a real head turner

Hey guy’s, what kind of products do car dealers use when they sell you paint protection .
Hi guys, I'm looking at applying Cquartz UK myself. Does anyone have any tips?
Can two layers of ceramic pro lite help reduce. Micro scratches ?
Great information as always AJ!! Need to get back down to Louisville for another steak one of these days!
The steaks are waiting. Just bring your wallet! :D
I thought the next one was on you! 😀

LOL!
Junkman ever used Collinite 845?
Specific brands in specific situations would be useful?!
Not really an issue. A wax is a wax, the difference being man made or natural. Both will work but their duration times will differ. Same with sealants.

+William Collinite 845 is my go-to wax. Lasts a longtime & easy to apply/remove.
I like the Meguiars line of products. They have a couple different price points, and many would agree that their Ultimate line is the "best"
Informative
keep videos comming
dd is a 79 el camino?
