This doesn’t make sense?! Misleading Detailing Terms EXPLAINED | Podcast #99

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.

How and WHEN to wash a *freshly* coated car

How and WHEN to wash a *freshly* coated car
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.
Do we need to break in all the sides when we fold it like you did?
That contradicts everything you have been saying for waterless wash in the past decade.
Well that's wrong. Rust is iron oxide. Which is chemicals composed of iron and oxygen. Have you ever actually studied chemistry
I love your Content Very Honest truth and straight to the point, you both have a very therpertic tone in your voice and Ivan you know your craft simply amazing
Hi guys! Can i apply graphene infused wax as a topper to ceramic coating, would that be wise ?
Hi Yvan. How long after using my microfiber towels, brushes etc. for a wash, clay, seal should I be cleaning them? Also, how would you recommend should I be cleaning my brushes etc.?
Sponge for soap??
Lol
I enjoyed the video, thanks guys 👍😁
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.
Hey I didn't know you were in Omaha! 402 represent! I'm from Nebraska but living in Iowa currently. Hope to see you in person at some point!
Thank you.
What buckets are these
Food service buckets from a restaurant supply store.
i charge $160 starting in my area and people say its too expensive, ive had wealthier customers say its too cheap. i really dont know what to do
Charge more
I was with you until the "with ease" part!
It is easy
Informative, direct, professional yet simplified for absolute beginners! Hand to head, thank you Yvan.
Thank you

Nice
8 I call cap
You would be surprised.
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.
Door handles by hand, other areas, with a 6 inch pad on a rotary.
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
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.
But it doesnt remove iron right? Dude is the guy that invented detailing, he preaching on every video.
Thanks for boosting the algorithm.
Next time use just a regular hose. Coulda did that without foam with pressure washer. The most horrible foam coulda did the same thing
Thanks for boosting the algorithm.
Rust is technically iron oxide
True
i never heard of it
Thank you.
I apply ceramic coating but when I'm done I found out there is rainbow on the paint. What do you think is the problem
That’s a high spot czcams.com/video/Q4bAyo86qlM/video.htmlsi=RIbpoxJUTkkvdspx
Where can I get some solid buckets with the grit guards like they have?
Buckets are food service containers
Its not just over spray, its mainly tire shine that contains silicone.
Yes
much cheaper is oven cleaner
And much more dangerous
nope the salt n pepper pad is much better overall
Have you tried our pads?
Once again, very simple explanations, & put into terms that average people understand. Thanks again guy's.
Our pleasure!
Longest 5 seconds in history
czcams.com/video/_PeDOW30xRI/video.html
Here's one I see all the time: cleaning a wheel until the product foam turns white. Is that necessary, or is one pass sufficient?
It’s definitely not required, you’re actually damaging the tire
Here we go again
lol
How do you know they not putting in brand new bolts? Since u wana bury youtubers cuz u guys smarter n better than dem…
We are suggesting they do. Many times it’s very obvious they are not. The goal here it to educate and keep everyone safe.
How does it help? U remember right, cuz da color? Den im sure u dont need red n black at all since u remember. Just come out n say u wana sell more sponges to make more money
Thank you.
Here we go again
Thanks for taking the time to feed the algorithm
256:1 is standard dillution? Why not sell it already diluted n ready to go?
If we sold it already diluted instead of sending you a gallon that you dilute, we would have to ship 257 gallons instead.
Kinda like a mask for covid
Thanks for taking the time to feed the algorithm
So not actually a water spot remover? Kinda like how iron remover doesnt remove iron? Save us some time please
Depends on the severity of the water spots
Another episode of im more educated than you
Thank you.
Another invention…the drying blanket
No, just a different kind of microfibre
Whats next? A pre all clean step and another coating? Or maybe more towels or more rinse less?
Thanks for taking the time to feed the algorithm
Should just say youre tryna sell more products n pads
Thanks for taking the time to feed the algorithm
I thought it doesnt remove the iron??
