I love the cats! 😃❤️. Nice music. It’s also cool that Your Wife is into it too. Always great videos. I’ve never used apc as a pre wash material. Typically I rinse/foam/wash. Everyone has their own way. 💪🏼😃. It came out great. Nice work. Thank You for sharing.
Phil great job, and a regular customer is testimony to your skills. I'll tell you my hand cramped up just watching you spray the APC pre-wash with a trigger sprayer on that huge truck. I was impressed at how much gloss the sealant brought out on the white paint.
Cleaning those rear metal fender wheels can be a pain, if it’s bad I’ll use meguiars wheel brighter with its acid to quickly clean it and will add a spray sealant for easy maintenance. Great video Phil
Nice !!! If you apply the sealant by machine (which makes your work easier and faster) could you then also wipe it off with the polisher (and with which pad ??) That would save you even more time, wouldn't it ?
Hey ! I love your channel but for your sake upgrade to pump sprayers!! The marolex sprayers are awesome as well as the solo sprayers. I use them for my degreaser and APC, saves your forearms and it’s quicker.
I have a Solo sprayer with an articulating nozzel great for getting up in wheel wells, the the barrel of wheels. Works great on angling it into door jams as well.
Been loving that idea of washing and claying at same time.saved me at least 25 mins.been using maxshine Chanelwash mitt/clay towel.works awesome think it's around 30 bucks. B well good friend
Hi. No we don’t do that in coated vehicles unless they are past the year mark and they need it. Doing an APC rinse can actually revive a coating becasue it releases traffic film and grime that can “clog” the coating. It’s not needed every time but only when needed.
@@MirandaDetailing Thanks! Great videos! Learned a lot from you! Thanks for always answering questions I have and for all the others you have helped as well!
Quick question, if you don’t do machine polishing after clay mitt usage, do you see any marring ? I avoid clay mitt usage for my washes as I am worried that I am adding some marring to the paint. I am not criticizing your method Phil just merely asking your advice since you have a lot more experience than I. Thanks again for these great videos.
Hi. Great question. If you watch a few of our other videos you will see how we talk a a lot about determining what we need to do depending on what we see on the paint. If it’s black soft paint and after the clay bar/mitt there is marring we simply machine apply a wax/sealant instead of spray wax/sealant. The mechanical action of a soft pad with the liquid will remove any marring left behind. It’s not really polishing but it does quickly spread the wax, gloss up the paint and remove minor marring. But it all depends on how the paint responds after the clay bar/mitt.
Thanks Phil! Yes mostly I was thinking of darker colours and indeed this “polishing” step would resolve that. I have to work it into my pricing as it’s an extra step.
Yes that’s absolutely true! Our exterior services start at $175 and go up from there depending on what is needed. That way we can add a few extra steps if needed without felling the need to charge more or feel that we are losing money. I feel it’s a win:win for us and our customers. 😎👍🏼
@@MirandaDetailing wish I could have that sort of pricing start here in Finland but sadly it’s a country where detailing is not a commodity but a luxury, thus limiting the market size and adding cost as a limiting factor. Still I 100% agree with your method.
Understood. You need to charge according to your demographic, customer base and so on. That will vary from country to country and even town to town. 😎👍🏼
Hi Phil I like to the idea of applying a spray sealant with a machine. Have you ever tried or will try TW seal and shine with that process? Asking for a friend 🤔
@@MirandaDetailing never thought of using a "detail gun". I was actually wondering if seal and shine could be applied the way you demonstrated with the spray sealant you used. But now you got me thinking about spraying for a well atomized application
Oohhhh I see you meant with a polisher?! Sorry I had another guy ask about the spray gun. I wouldn’t apply seal and shine with a polisher or spray gun. It’s super easy to apply with just a towel and wipe on wipe off. I have tried a polisher with spray products like that and it would sling and make a mess 🤦🏻♂️. I would just stick with easy towel application
Hi. 90% of our customers have vehicles that need full details starting with our usual process. APC’s don’t have much effect on true Coatings. In fact an APC rinse every 6 months or so helps to clean the coating and revive it. For maintenance washes we don’t need to do an APC rinse, just rinse and wash per usual since it already has good protection.
Hey Phil, for those types of rims can I use meguiars wheel brightener Or should I use something like meguiars nonacid wheel cleaner/Break buster instead?
If I'm offending the detailing gods, it usually means I'm doing something a different way from them but works for me. As always, great work Phil & wifey!
Hi Phil, when your all done with that process is it ok to put a Ceramic coating to lock the awesome finish or there is more step needed before applying the Ceramic coating
Oh no problem. It’s this little sprayer amzn.to/3dxPi0B It’s a .8mm nozzle. Thanks run the compressor at 90psi but I adjust the nozzle on the gun itself and bring it down a little. It doesn’t have a psi read out but I can tell it’s around 30-40psi.
great video i like when they are dirty and grimey because the after is phenomenal
It’s always a pleasure to watch and learn from your videos.🇨🇦
Great video as always Great music too. White is usually had to bling.
That truck came out awesome! I appreciate your work smarter not harder no nonsense approach to detailing.
That truck is a beast! Total transformation on it!! What a difference!!! 👍👍
Great as always. Thank you for another fantastic video.

Nice job! Truck looks fantastic!
You are great and so down to earth. I have learned alot just in the past 2 days thank you sir
I do remember this one!! We detailed about a year and a half ago!! Awesome client!! 👍🏼👍🏼
That's has to be the best maintained Work Truck I've ever seen. Great job and Tips as always.
Great job as always!
Great video as always. I just ordered the spt a 15 mm cordless and their Nano cordless can't wait to use them
Cars I've washed last year were about that dirty. Some worse. Fun to watch how you went about it.
Great work, awesome finish
Awesome job as always great job be safe god bless William from extreme optimum auto detailing pr

TW Seal and Shine is great in the wheel wells.
Great video an learning more an more thanks From Campbell's Mobile Detailing
Nice !!! If you apply the sealant by machine (which makes your work easier and faster) could you then also wipe it off with the polisher (and with which pad ??) That would save you even more time, wouldn't it ?
To wipe by hand is easier and faster. because it's hard to control the pressure when removing sealants or wax by machine. I just remove by hand.
Lovely job 👏

Finally! I’ve been waiting for new video keep it up Phil and Wife. Love your work from Indonesia✌️👌
You guys are my #1 go to videos! Can I use Meguiars APC instead of P&S?
Hi. Thanks! Oh yeah. We have used Megs APC before at 1:4 dilution
@@MirandaDetailing thanks for the reply....will start using this as part of my detailing
When you do the pre rinse with APC, do you do that on coated vehicles as well? If so, will it shorten the life of the coating?
Hi. No we don’t do that in coated vehicles unless they are past the year mark and they need it. Doing an APC rinse can actually revive a coating becasue it releases traffic film and grime that can “clog” the coating. It’s not needed every time but only when needed.

How often do you pre-wash with an apc and can it weaken a true ceramic coating (2-3 years of protection)? Great video with many tips, keep it up!
Hi. 90% of our customers have vehicles that need full details starting with our usual process. APC’s don’t have much effect on true Coatings. In fact an APC rinse every 6 months or so helps to clean the coating and revive it.

@@MirandaDetailing many thanks!
Phil do you reccommend putting on a sealer coat before a graphene paste wax coat or ceramic quick spray coating ?
Hi. Well I guess one could do that. But I don’t think it’s needed. It would be better to polish and pre the surface however.
Hey Phil, for those types of rims can I use meguiars wheel brightener Or should I use something like meguiars nonacid wheel cleaner/Break buster instead?
Hi. Use non acid or even just an apc/ degreaser diluted 1:4.
@@MirandaDetailing thank you for replying. I really appreciate it

Hi Phil, when your all done with that process is it ok to put a Ceramic coating to lock the awesome finish or there is more step needed before applying the Ceramic coating
Hi. Great question. I go over that in many of our ceramic coating videos.
Here’s one. th-cam.com/video/JzMP23b63cg/w-d-xo.html
What psi do you run the gun at and what size needle is used, if you don’t mind me asking
Hi. The electric pressure washer runs about 1200psi with a 40 degree tip or the green one which I think is 30degrees.
I’m so sorry I should of been clear with what I was asking. I was actually talking about the hvlp spray gun that you used for the tires and trim
@@MirandaDetailing .
Oh no problem. It’s this little sprayer amzn.to/3dxPi0B
It’s a .8mm nozzle. Thanks run the compressor at 90psi but I adjust the nozzle on the gun itself and bring it down a little. It doesn’t have a psi read out but I can tell it’s around 30-40psi.
What do you use for the windows? The same sealant?
For the Windows we used just the regular glass cleaner.
@@MirandaDetailingcool, thanks.
Great video. I actually love very shiny tire shine!!!
What is the size of your trailer?
Hi. It’s a 6x10 and 6.4 inches inside so I can Stand in it. I’m 6.2
@@MirandaDetailing ok awesome. I was thinking of getting the same size. Thanks for all the videos you guys make.
You’re welcome!! 😎👍🏼
I needed this, just detailed a work truck with more mud on it than this!
And I charged $100 🤦🏻
LOL detail gods ..some days I think there against me LOL
You should do a video about detailing your cat.
🤣🤣🤣 I totally want to!!
