Hello Phil + Jess from Down Under ;) Great video and great results, the red does really sparkle now.. Maybe when they see it they might change their mind and not get it washed at a car wash..
Those blue light filtering glasses, I don't think they're making you see weird reflections. You might wanna try toning down the Starbucks Double Espresso shot cans a bit. I chugged two of those back to back once, and I was seeing sounds man. SOUNDS! Wait, you said no stupid posts... will get deleted and blocked... Awww man :( What if because we are excited to post something funny and stupid because we enjoyed the video so much? :) I think you're awesome man, you and your wife. I've learned so much from your videos that I actually enjoy washing and detailing my cars now.
37:35 Dear car manufactures, why do you guys make our lives so much more difficult to clean glass? I have seen so many methods to clean hard to reach glass but its always the same issue of having to wipe at an awkward angle. Ive tried the Stoners Glass Cleaning Wand, but even that I have trouble cleaning really dirty glass on the back of Sedans and Windshields of Sport Coops. Glad you introduced the mitt method, gonna have to give this a shot myself. Sending love from SoCal! ;)
I applied Crystal Serum Light 3 years ago on my 16 Accord , the preperation work is the most important and can be very time consuming . As a weekend warrior it took me 14 hours doing it alone with just a finishing polish to clean the paint . Customers need to understand that to get the expected results it is time consuming , labor intensive and this is why it is an expensive but great option for the ultimate in paint protection.
I use 1 n done 80% of the time combined with orange pads from either Lake Country or Chemical Guys. I also have 3D One and Sonax Perfect Finish. I will still use TW Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Polish occasionally.
Excellent job!! love the great tip on interior mirror cleaning - awesome!! :-) i was kind of waiting to see how you polished the chrome front, since it's big it was a good opportunity to film that as well. I dont see many detailers to show us that. a bit disappointed there. but i had no trouble to watch the whole 46 min video because it's always educational, you take us through the process, talk us through it, explain, not just boring video of cleaning the same routine inside and outside just for a show. great job Phil, thank you for taking the time to make these videos!!! :-)
Phil Jess awesome job great tutorial looks great I love you guys team work and passion for detailing as always be safe God bless William from extreme optimum auto detailing pr
I splurged right at the start and bought a Grit Guard Pad Washer, and it's so easy, so fast, and in less than one minute the pad is literally clean like brand new!
Cool video, Phil and what an awesome outcome, too! Thanks for posting! I'm not a professional detailer, still, I find your videos enjoyable and informative. Question...can GTechiq's Crystal Serum Light be applied over the TW Flex Wax Spray Coating?
Thanks! Nope, Gtechniq CSL should only be applied either on clean panel wiped paint or primers like Dr Beasleys NSP polishes. That goes for all coatings.
Looks great guys! I love washing my truck every weekend. I used turtle wax ceramic coating about four months ago. Do you still recommend that?I like trying new products just like you as well. Thanks as always guys. Be good!
Hi. Thanks. Well I can’t do that during the job. That would mean getting the area wet. But check out the results when we maintain it. th-cam.com/video/c2uSrhzjSiA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cxju0UNh10UZPXyf
@@MirandaDetailing sorry I didn’t mean to imply that you hose it down, but squirting a water bottle on it maybe to show the difference on how the water sheets off. thanks anyway!! good luck!
Hi. I don’t have any dedicated videos on that. But sometimes I include some touch up in my regular videos. I just use a tiny brush or tooth pick to fill in the chips. Sometimes I wet sand it gently and polish it.
Great video!!! CSL is a great coating! So easy. Did you top it with anything? Do you feel it last any longer with EXO on top? That Yukon is identical to ours! That red is beautiful when cleaned up! Your pad washer is very similar to what I use to do. I splurged and bought the Lake Country. I feel it actually sped up my process and gets the pads cleaner. Thank you for the video!
Hi thanks! Yes it is! I learned from Gtechniq that it’s unnecessary to top CSL with EXOv4 right away. It can be applied a few year down the road when CSL starts to loose it’s hydrophobic layer. I do top it with C2v3 after the 24h however.
I liked the video sir, great results. Try some time DPC line coatings maybe you like some of them like T9, just your opinion on trying it. Keep up the great job
Great video ya’ll. It’s really relaxing for me to watch these and I learn a lot. I have had Rupes LHR Bigfoot since I started back into detailing during Covid but I want a cordless to add to my arsenal. I also have not tried CSL. Do you all use EXO as a second layer?
Hi Thanks! Yeah we love our cordless!! We will top with EXOv4 if the customer requests it and pays extra. We found out after talking with Gtechniq that you really dont need to apply it right away, it can actually be applied a few years down the road when the top hydrophic layer of CSL wears off.

Hey, guys. Just found your channel and it's awesome. Would you guys have any recommendations regarding the detailing of a brand new vehicle? If you could give me some tips that would be awesome. Keep up the great work. Thanks!
Another great video, looks great. I like that mitt I think it might be okay for the wheels and dash.also. Have you tried the wand from invisible glass that works good for the glass?
Excellent Job, Mirandas! I have a question? When applying a coating, shouldn't you also apply the coating to the door jam? I noticed you used a Lithium product, maybe "Ignite" ? When possible, shouldn't all painted surfaces be coated, door jams, trunk & hood areas, etc.?
Well do you mean washing the pad and spin drying and then using it again to polish? I have tried that and when the pad is still damp it would make a mess and splatter while polishing. That’s why we switched to simply grabbing a new pad and tossing the used one in the bucket to wash later.
How did you approach polishing the chrome on this vehicle? Also curious on the longevity of CSL on plastics and wheels, I know they have dedicated coatings and never could find the answer how the two compared.
Hi. The chrome is. We so we polished it just as we did the paint with Dr beasleys NSP 45 and used CSL on it. Here is the maintenance detail on it a year later. And even to this day and out 3 years later it’s still preforming like day one. The plastic trim still looks great but plastic trim coatings only last about 2-3 years and same goes with wheels. So at some point I expect those to start to show signs of wear. th-cam.com/video/c2uSrhzjSiA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=81CHfM_loEndOdCl
Hi. Yeah the 30ml bottle of CSL would definitely do a large suv. Just manage how much you’re using and don’t over apply on the applicator. But you don’t apply it on glass.
Terrific work! Your videos are so well done It's nice to see that You really don't have to put the paint under the microscope to coat it There's only so much clear(sadly) these days I've never tried CSL by itself I've always followed with EXO Have a nice weekend! Thanks for sharing another awesome video
Well I don’t over apply the coating on the applicator like some guys show. I use just enough to apply to a 2x2 foot section. On average I use 15-20 mils per vehicle. th-cam.com/video/HkanV0Uk1yw/w-d-xo.html

Hi. Thanks! Yeah we have a few th-cam.com/video/O4FwFuTUODY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/pZ_wocSyL0o/w-d-xo.html Not sure about the Mini Cooper though. You only knows if the clear is soft or hard when you start polishing it. It’s hard to say sometimes.
Another awesome video brother, I always learn soo much from watching your videos.I'm somewhat new to auto detailing. I had a question , . . . . . . . . . .What kind of camera/📷 Phone are you using?? The picture is coming out Awesome. any feedback would be greatly appreciated. 🙏
Thanks so much! In this video, I was using my Canon 200D(SL2) with the kit lens. But I recently upgraded to a Canon M50 with a Sigma 16mm 1.4f lens for my more recent videos.
@@MirandaDetailing ahh ok nice. I personally like nikons. I always thought the dslr cameras were too bulky Toby's for vlogs, but I guess the Mirrorles cameras with a handling grip makes it more manageable. Thank you for the response
Awesome video as always. Love the comment on the one and done to dampen your towel a little. When I used I found it extremely hard to remove. Excited to use it again now.
@@MirandaDetailing I've learned so much in such a short time. I'm always looking to hone my skills and watching you both helps each day big time. I keep trying to get my wife to help me but no luck yet😜
I tried the Vision Protect glass coating and new wipers and the wipers chatter across the windshield like crazy in the rain. Cleaned windshield with invisible glass, machine polished with glass polish and glass polishing pad, cleaned again with invisible glass, then used the Vision Protect prep towelette, then the coating and finally a new set of Bosch Icon wiper blades. Rained 3 days after and the wipers chatter across the windshield. So annoying and very disappointed in Vision Protect.
@@MirandaDetailing yes, new Bosch Icon wipers that I’ve used for more than a decade and they’ve never chattered. I reached out to the Vision Protect and they blamed it on the wipers even though they’re new. 🤷🏻♂️
Hey brother ! I have a lifted duramax truck coming in tomorrow that doesn’t fit inside the garage :/ we get morning dew here. You think it would be an issue if it gets moisture during the night after coating ? Wwyd? Lol
Hi. What coating are you using? If you are using the new Gyeon coatings you should be fine, because they cure faster. But any other coating I would be concerned about getting it wet to soon.
@@MirandaDetailing darn I figured. I was going to try to get there super early to finish let’s say 12 but by midnight it might have Dew :/ I’ll try to find a 5 year gyeon then. Appreciate ya as always my brother 🙏
Hi phil, I had a friend who had his vehicle ceramic coated. The thing is I noticed that bug guts and rail dust still stick to his paint? I thought coatings prevented this or am I wrong?
Hi. How often is the vehicle washed and maintained? Does it sit outside or in a garage? There are many misconceptions about coatings. They are basically a “higher form” of protection, but certainly nothing bulletproof. Stuff will still stick to it, but it will be much easier to wash and maintain then any traditional waxes or sealants.
Phil, your thoughts of the Vision Protect windshield coating? Getting my windshield replaced and want to coat it with something that’s easy and won’t break the bank. Recommendations?
Frederic (Quebec,Canada) Hi Phil and Jess. Hi whant to do my first ceramic coating . What is best betwin carpro cquard and gliss vs gtechnic serum light ? My next question is if hi put gtechnic do you put toper and in the maintnance wash what protection do you put on? Thank (excuse my english)
Hi. I enjoy using both Cquartz and Gtechniq coatings. The CSL is rated as a 3-5 year coating. But at the 3 year mark it usually needs an application of EXOv4 to extend it. That’s how Gtechniq explained it to me. After CSL we also top it with C2V3 after the 24h initial cure.
@@MirandaDetailing speak of the devil lmao I saw your video and did a truck wearing gloves , took em off today and I got contact dermatitis 😂 the struggle
Hi. Yea they are! Lately mostly Enhancements. My one steps are also very close to enhancements becasue we try to achieve the same results. That’s why I don’t have a “one step” service. I treat it as an enhancement instead. 😎👍🏼
@@MirandaDetailing no wayyyyy. I have 4 new packs sitting there. I’ve been spending too much on towels that are soft for soft paints and coatings. They never micro marr?
As long as you use them gently they have never given me issues. On soft black paint any towel could mar. I always wash them first also. Sometimes a pack of towels will get pst quality control and they are not soft. I just return them and get another pack.
Hey man i have a question. I watched your video on removing sand and stuff from the interiour. But no matter how much i scrubbed and used the drill brush the sand and stuff wouldnt get out of the carpet It was a renault twingo soo the quality of the carpet is shit but how do you handel that?
Hi. Sand is one of the worst things to remove, in my case the sand is never 100% removed. We get it to an acceptable degree and call it. We always communicate with the customer and let them know that sand and dog hair is very difficult to remove 100% and there may be some that can't be removed. Basically lots of brushing and tamping of the carpets will bring the sand to the surface and it takes lots of vacuuming. it simply takes time.
@@MirandaDetailing yes thats what i had today with a customer but somehow i just feel bad that i couldnt give a better result. But would an extractor not get all the sand out? With the proper shampoos ofcourse
No an extractor doesn’t pull sand that well. Saturating the carpets with chemical or water doesn’t really help. It’s better to keep it dry, drill brush, tamp, and vacuum as much as possible. But honestly as detailers we have to learn to draw the line and stop it and when we realize it’s a loosing battle. We could be wasting time and money on those jobs unfortunately.
You guys really do some outstanding work down there, that SUV looks amazing and the shop is outstanding!! 👍👊
Your wife is so industrious kudos to her

Have you ever detailed a Toyota 86?
I tried the Vision Protect glass coating and new wipers and the wipers chatter across the windshield like crazy in the rain. Cleaned windshield with invisible glass, machine polished with glass polish and glass polishing pad, cleaned again with invisible glass, then used the Vision Protect prep towelette, then the coating and finally a new set of Bosch Icon wiper blades. Rained 3 days after and the wipers chatter across the windshield. So annoying and very disappointed in Vision Protect.
That’s very weird. I have never had an issues with it. It’s on both my vehicles. Did you change the wiper blades?
@@MirandaDetailing yes, new Bosch Icon wipers that I’ve used for more than a decade and they’ve never chattered. I reached out to the Vision Protect and they blamed it on the wipers even though they’re new. 🤷🏻♂️
Thats very weird. Sorry that happened, I never have issues with any wipers chattering, ever. 🤷🏻♂️
@@MirandaDetailing No worries Phil. Not your fault. I just wanted to share my experience.
Thanks man.
Hey Phil. What’s the length and brand of the pressure washer hose you’re using?
Hi. It’s this amzn.to/3sPZU0W
Did you give up on rupes uno protect? I see its not in your go too arsenal, any updates/comments?
Hi. Oh yeah we still use it. We just have so many products we love to try others out.
Hey brother ! I have a lifted duramax truck coming in tomorrow that doesn’t fit inside the garage :/ we get morning dew here. You think it would be an issue if it gets moisture during the night after coating ? Wwyd? Lol
Hi. What coating are you using? If you are using the new Gyeon coatings you should be fine, because they cure faster. But any other coating I would be concerned about getting it wet to soon.
@@MirandaDetailing I was hoping to use CSL
It’s risky applying it outdoors. I would go with either a lesser coating or the Gyeon ones.
@@MirandaDetailing darn I figured. I was going to try to get there super early to finish let’s say 12 but by midnight it might have Dew :/ I’ll try to find a 5 year gyeon then. Appreciate ya as always my brother 🙏
Hi phil, I had a friend who had his vehicle ceramic coated. The thing is I noticed that bug guts and rail dust still stick to his paint? I thought coatings prevented this or am I wrong?
Hi. How often is the vehicle washed and maintained? Does it sit outside or in a garage? There are many misconceptions about coatings. They are basically a “higher form” of protection, but certainly nothing bulletproof. Stuff will still stick to it, but it will be much easier to wash and maintain then any traditional waxes or sealants.
@@MirandaDetailing ok thanks that makes sense
You’re welcome!
Phil, your thoughts of the Vision Protect windshield coating? Getting my windshield replaced and want to coat it with something that’s easy and won’t break the bank. Recommendations?
Hi. The vision protect is nice stuff! Very easy to apply. I have it on my Lexus GX and it’s great!

Hi Phil and Jess.
Hi whant to do my first ceramic coating . What is best betwin carpro cquard and gliss vs gtechnic serum light ?
My next question is if hi put gtechnic do you put toper and in the maintnance wash what protection do you put on?
Thank (excuse my english)
Hi. I enjoy using both Cquartz and Gtechniq coatings. The CSL is rated as a 3-5 year coating. But at the 3 year mark it usually needs an application of EXOv4 to extend it. That’s how Gtechniq explained it to me.
After CSL we also top it with C2V3 after the 24h initial cure.
@@MirandaDetailing thank you Phil.
How many time betwin c2v3 application (week, mont)?
We apply for very 3 months or so. But you could even apply each time you wash.
where are you located
Chesterfield VA. Check out our website for more info www.mirandadetailing.com
You think gtec panel wipe is still too strong even at 1:1?
I had some swelling with it straight
Yeah I do not use the Gtechniq Panel wipe on paint at all now. Way to strong.
@@MirandaDetailing speak of the devil lmao I saw your video and did a truck wearing gloves , took em off today and I got contact dermatitis 😂 the struggle
👌🏼
Hey Phil, what's your favorite water spot remover for a vehicle that is already coated?
Hi. So far it’s Gtechniq W9. It’s not as strong as others but it works well for coated vehicles.
@@MirandaDetailing Thanks so much!
Suv that size are alot of work. Would you say most of your polishing is paint enhancements? Or would you say 1 steps? Yukon turned out great! Hi wife!
Hi. Yea they are! Lately mostly Enhancements. My one steps are also very close to enhancements becasue we try to achieve the same results. That’s why I don’t have a “one step” service. I treat it as an enhancement instead. 😎👍🏼
how much was that package?
Our ceramic coating services start at $1000 for a 1 year coating and go up from there.
When polish the glass what pad are you using sir?
Hi it’s this bit.ly/3kwMumU
Thank you!!!
Brother, how long does it take you to do a job like that from start to finish?
Hi. On average about 6+ hours with the both of us. So about 12 man hours.
@@MirandaDetailing thank you sir!!! It came exquisite my man!!!! Tell your wife we say hi and we enjoying watching her throw down!!!
😁😎👍🏼
Hey brother ! How many towels today do you go through using csl & what’s your preferred ones
Btw that red looks WET 💦
Hi. it depends on the size, but usually 2-4 towels. I alwasy use new Kirkland yellow towels for coating leveling.
@@MirandaDetailing no wayyyyy. I have 4 new packs sitting there. I’ve been spending too much on towels that are soft for soft paints and coatings. They never micro marr?
As long as you use them gently they have never given me issues. On soft black paint any towel could mar. I always wash them first also. Sometimes a pack of towels will get pst quality control and they are not soft. I just return them and get another pack.
@@MirandaDetailing ohhhhh I never wash them first haha I’ll try that ! Thanks brother!
Hey man i have a question. I watched your video on removing sand and stuff from the interiour. But no matter how much i scrubbed and used the drill brush the sand and stuff wouldnt get out of the carpet
It was a renault twingo soo the quality of the carpet is shit but how do you handel that?
Hi. Sand is one of the worst things to remove, in my case the sand is never 100% removed. We get it to an acceptable degree and call it. We always communicate with the customer and let them know that sand and dog hair is very difficult to remove 100% and there may be some that can't be removed. Basically lots of brushing and tamping of the carpets will bring the sand to the surface and it takes lots of vacuuming. it simply takes time.
@@MirandaDetailing yes thats what i had today with a customer but somehow i just feel bad that i couldnt give a better result.
But would an extractor not get all the sand out? With the proper shampoos ofcourse
No an extractor doesn’t pull sand that well. Saturating the carpets with chemical or water doesn’t really help. It’s better to keep it dry, drill brush, tamp, and vacuum as much as possible. But honestly as detailers we have to learn to draw the line and stop it and when we realize it’s a loosing battle. We could be wasting time and money on those jobs unfortunately.
@@MirandaDetailing ohh okay i didnt know. Thx for the advice man have a nice day.
You’re welcome.
1st
Good morning
