Some detailing terms just don't make sense. Or, they *kind of* make sense but are simply around because they were originally named that. Even if now, those terms aren't really accurate. In this podcast, we go over a number of terms and products in the industry did we miss any? If so, mention them in the comments.

    I just keep DIY rinseless wash at 256:1 and DIY All-Clean at 30:1 in separate 32oz spray bottles and I feel like I've got Waterless Wash covered in those two products. I've gotten to the point with detailing products where shelf space is an issue so adding Waterless Wash seems unnecessary. If rinseless isn't strong enough, All Clean at 30:1 no doubt is. I think people underestimate how strong a good APC can be. I kind of go back and forth between using All Clean and Koch Chemie Green Star and I've yet to find a task that 30:1 couldn't accomplish pretty easily. I was messing around and made a small batch of All Clean at 63:1. 1/4 of an ounce in a 16oz spray bottle. Used it on my boat's outboard motor and it just ate through the scum and crap on the lower unit. I see CZcams videos of people using it at 5:1 or 10:1 and I kind of cringe. Massive waste but also I can't imagine how All Clean at 5:1 could be good for an interior.

    From the video, it took about 30 seconds to cover the approximately 16x16 test spot in 3 passes. It definitely looked "fast" to me and quicker than the 1-inch-per-second recommendation I typically hear. What's the recommended arm speed? And I would love some tips for maintaining rotation in concave curves typically found in doors or near the wheels.

    How do you polish hard to reach places like underneath door handles, near or inside badges and emblems, or on cars with complex, aggressive shapes where you can't use a big pad? BTW great video.

    Hello and just want to say i love your products as im new to car detailing. I got my rinseless wash and wow the smell alone puts a smile on my dial. So heres my question. After i use rinseless wash and dry everything off. Can i use quick beads on dry paint then add ceramic gloss. Is this over kill. Keep up the good work and ill be buying more of your products. Also can you make a air freshers soon

    • @diydetailofficial
      @diydetailofficial Před dnem

      Yes you can, a little overkill, but use DIY Detail Quick Beads as a drying aid, then add the DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss once it’s dry.
