Phil was completely transparent in terms of what results to expect and for how much and just as importantly what I was not getting for that price. As my daily driver the results exceeded my expectations and I’ve been back to Phil for maintenance and returning again. I’ve also used other detailers for other vehicles and will only use Phil going forward because of the quality of his service and his honesty and integrity of what to expect.
Phil you're killing me with the over the top material you keep sharing. Fantastic tutorial on SR and what an enhancement is vs what is not. This is a business, I am so glad you keep repeating this. Thanks for the real world pricing answer. Of course we want their paint to look phenomenal, but that's when the Detailer in us, needs to make a decision on what to charge based on what will keep us in business and make a satisfied customer. The results you achieved were incredible considering the way that LT looked at first, I mean the water spots, swirls and so much more but you did it. That's the mark of a real pro, one who knows their business well enough to recognize what their capabilities can and cannot do and what the customer really wants within their budget. I've always admired how you do that. And even more impressed in how you carefully share it with us. Oh I know I have to watch these a few times in order to try and catch all that you're doing but oh is it ever worth my time. And I am looking forward to the video that shows how to get rid of tough waterspots. How you decide which pads etc and how long it takes. Again another Awesome show 👍😎, and thanks.
Great video. I especially liked the information at the end. As a detailer, it's hard to not go overboard sometimes because we always want it to be done the best. But we also have to be mindful of what we use, how much we charge, and obviously how much we make in the end. Thanks again!
People that are going to bring up the "it's not perfect and I'd never charge my customer that for those results ". Well that's your business, you charge what you feel your talent is worth. I don't just give the customer a full paint correction when they don't want to pay for it..if you do you won't be in business making money very long..
Thanks exactly. RUclips had made people crazy with “perfection” detailing. RUclips has become saturated with “Detailers” only showing the best results, they are afraid to truly show the reality of detailing as a business. It’s not about by perfection. It’s about going the customer what they want. Those comment that come in saying “you should have used product x it would have come better” or “you should have used this compound or pad it would have removed all the swirls”....did they talk to my customer about what they wanted for their vehicle? Are they here experiencing what we are experiencing on this exact vehicle with the exact same paint issues? Are they taking into account all the variables? Sometimes the viewers are brain washed by other “RUclips Detailers” who boost perfect on staged detailing videos, not real life customers. Sorry for the rant, but I see that you totally understand what I mean. These things need to be said, if left unchecked people will never understand true detailing. 😎👍🏼
Hey Phil. Thanks for the tip in the use of the paint protection solution without the cure time wait and the no panel wipe to simplify the application. These tips saves valuable time and effort.
You killed it Phil with this job!!! Car looks amazing brother! And I love your honesty and being straight up front with all these haters. As detailers, we should be helping, encouraging and supporting each other! Can't wait for another video! Aloha!
Wow! U nailed it.in terms of running a business, In most cases what you see the customer will never see, even if you point it out, there not interested!! Give the customer what he wants and charge accordingly. Then there's no disappointments on either end and move on. Excellent video & advice Phil.
Another great video Phil , absolutely love the small little segments of being creative and funny. Totally got the good vs evil comparison really good stuff.
WOW! Phil, this is the video I needed years ago! I'm not a detailer, just an enthusiast who knows virtually nothing about detailing. I ordered The Last Stop water removal, Clearsr to remove a few water spots from my one-year old Tesla. (Teslas are known to have shoddy paint jobs.) I've watched 5 or 6 of your videos and find them very helpful. I just received the Bead Maker yesterday and can't wait to try that too. I've watched numerous raving reviews of that. Thanks for all of your videos, Phil! Make a video telling your background; I'm very curious.
Awesome video guys great shiny finish he'll will like the after effects great idea under the door handles and seams great job guys take care have a great week Phillip
Learning how to efficiently do strictly an *enhancement* was honestly one of the tougher things for me. I kind of specialize in hammered restorations so I don't do a lot of them. Years later I *still* have to force myself to let things go. Honestly what helped alot was I would do my test spots then I would actually turn some lights *off* and skip the scangrip inspection and just get around the car. Plus results I'm depressed about still make a client incredibly happy. 95% of people don't see things the way we do. They look at a vehicle and see what looks good. Clean, gloss, dressed trim and tires, etc.. We look at a vehicle and *all* we see is the defects and what's wrong with it. We don't see 90% perfection, it's totally irrelevant to us, we can only see that other 10%. Phil helps a *lot* in this area. One of the only channels that teaches and actually shows the reality of a large part of actual mobile/professional detailing, which is daily drivers and a budget, and he shows you how to make people happy and still make a comfortable living doing it.
@@jdisdetermined my problem is I see all hammered vehicles. When I run the buffer over the paint I see what's left. I'm trying my best to say ENOUGH! One thing that aggravates me is when I do a paint correction and the vehicle comes back hammered again. That really frosts my butt. Thats something I gotta let go of too. Thanks for your input.
Thanks for the instructional video on Clearsr. Just the product I was looking for. Water spots are such an eye sore on any color car but especially black. I was a bit hesitant with using Meguiars Wheel Brightner on my paint. Take care.
Looks like you used the clearsr as another step in the decontamination process, which I think is a good idea. Mineral deposits, IMO, are another source to introduce swirls if not removed. I appreciate you showing us your method of using the products. 👍✌️
Yeah that’s pretty much what it was used as the Decon the paint of mineral deposits. But with water spots it’s a little different. You could either use a chemical to try to remove them or you can use a compound to remove them. If use a compound and or polish you really don’t have to worry about swirls because you are in fact removing the swirls with that process.
Here in Houston we have REALLY bad water. Spotting was/is a HUGE problem!! I watched a video where it was suggested to get some Formula 4 wax from O'Reilly's and spray lightly on car while still wet after wash, then dry with drying towel. This has so far solved my spotting problem. As a matter of fact, morning dew is a big problem also, but after the wash and Formula spray wax, dew just evaporates without leaving any spotting also. Amazing!!! It sucks that spotting is so bad, but ClearSR is a good spray for the arsenal also. I don't have any, but I will get and try
I came here for the rant and wasn't disappointed. People need to get over themselves and realize that what you do or do not do doesn't affect them one single bit. I don't even do 100% correction on my own vehicles. There's no reason to when you're driving them every day. I keep them clean and as shiny as possible, but they're not going in a museum when I am done with them. They're going to my kids.
Tony Rivera...not only that, those execs are gonna ask Phil to explain why he mentioned Black Ice and Torque in the same sentence😂😂! He may have saved himself though when he said Clear..SR was now his favorite...lol
Thanks. Oh yeah just basement dweller and detail extremists who think they know what they are talking about. But it’s cool. It’s good subject matter to teach others. 😎👍🏼
Like Ivan Lacriox said in his video “people want shine scratches “ a lot don’t notice swirls. They want the shine. It will get swirled again. Sooner than later!!! Thank you for the video!
Hi. Thanks! Well I guess if it was gloss black I would treat it like black gloss paint. Probably use an all in one like 3DSpeed or maybe just a medium polish and then coat it.
Hi guys, honest question here and not a crappy, challenging tone . I've always been so careful with the no cap gas fill area. Scared to do something wrong and it takes time. Time meaning me with a cloth, a brush etc. and soaking the entire area around it. All good to pressure clean without fear, as long as you're not blasting full on? I know this is an old video, so not actually expecting an answer, but I respect what you do and yould love to hear about the question. Love the videos and thank you for the information:).
Hi. Yeah around the no cap filler we just avoid spraying directly on it. As long as you’re careful it’s fine. It’s not like it’s open and water can just get done there. It has two spring loaded seal caps that prevent water from just getting there and sealing the fumes in and pressurizing the tank.
@@MirandaDetailing thanks guys!Really appreciate it and enjoy the videos very much. Very informative if you consider the question I asked had nothing to do with what this post was lol. I actually watch and learn:).
I "wish" I could get $900. Connecticut isn't exactly a low $ state. Sigh. Excellent video, Phil and Jess! My Vette and My Dad's car have water spots that'll be cared for next spring! Keep up the great work! I absolutely love this channel! I continue to learn more and more from this fine channel!
Amazing work. I enjoy TlC products. I'll be investing in Clearsr soon. Wish I had it when I detailed a black Yukon, the water spots were burned in and just horrible looking. I didn't do a paint enhancement, because I wasn't getting paid for that, actually was under paid for the full detail, but that's a lesson learned. Thank you for your videos and sharing the biz side of things. G
Hi Phil! ClearSR worked really well. Is it harder to work with a polish in colder weather? Also those PPF applications were pretty interesting, could barely notice them.
Hi! Yeah cold temps makes the polish to chilly to work with properly. But same goes with to much heat. 70° F is the perfect temp in my opinion for derailing! 😎👍🏼
Great video guys, thanks! Reminding us all to do the job we agreed to and stay profitable. Break out that little SPTA mini polisher a little bit, I want to see it in action! I thought for sure it would come out for those gloss black wheels! 😁👍👌✌ You're gonna love 496, it's wonderful.
Nice enhancement!!! Have you tried Megiuars water spot remover in the maroon bottle? I add a drop or 2 and equal amount of polish to my polishing pad to eliminate a step. Works great on glass and have even used it on plastic with a soft polishing pad. Have you tried Pinnacle Black Label primer polish? I am in the same boat, don’t want to have to mess with panel prep.
GM Phil. Was very busy this morning,. So I didn’t get to see your video from the very beginning. But I did go back and watch it on RUclips. Just a nosy guess. What were those two mitts that were in the bag?
My go to for water spot removal is vinegar. And I use superior formula 4 to keep the water spots away. In my area acid does not work for water spots because calcium is very concentrated and thick. And lot cheaper!!
Cool. Vinegar is an acid with a ph of 2.5. The ClearSR is the same ph level. I used vinegar on water spots before and it helped a little. But This stuff really dissolves them well. I guess it depends on the type of minerals we are dealing with also. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I have tried that product but those products can produce haze when not washing or polishing. But the point will be that all water spots are different. I deal a lot with cars by the beach and you but trees. It seems like companies try to ignore that when pushing their product. Great video👍👍
Canyou please give an update on the avalon king ceramic coating on your car? Trying to follow that one. Really wanting to pull the trigger on it. Thanks in advance.
Using 403 today so I thought I’d watch this again. Do I have to wait 24 hours after using the 403 before putting in a coating or is that not necessary?
Hi. If you don’t want to bother with an ipa or panel wipe you can wait 24h then apply your coating. But other wise you can just do a very light panel wipe and e fine applying the coating.
@@MirandaDetailing awesome thanks Phil. Used it on a Porshe today. It’s curing overnight then I’m putting Adams Graphene Ceramic Coating on it in the afternoon. Amazing product
Not all the time. Some water spots are so difficult to remove by polishing that it would take longer and we would have to almost go full correction to remove them. This way we found was faster and we didn’t have to take as much time polishing. 😎👍🏼
Phil was this recorded earlier? I’m curious because I thought you are doing a ongoing test for finale without an IPA wipe. Or was that a different product?
Morning From Connecticut. This maybe a little off topic. Question will Clearsa work on a bird poop stain ? Just cleaned my new truck didn’t see the poop on my truck until I cleaned it. Pretty sure I’m going to have to polish it out with my DA . Thank you .
Wow it’s amazing product to use them for the key detail the car and I want to thank you for all the information you explain how to use it and I want to thank you and when I told her you are the professional you have to trust me when I say that I want to thank you sir I appreciate your business and for your time and you have a nice they
Thank you for another great / informative video Phil. This stuff looks great. I’ve been using Gtechniq W9 Water Spot Remover and it just works “ok” for me. If the spots aren’t super fresh it doesn’t seem to do a whole lot for me. I may have to check out ClearSR (and pronounce it like you!)
Good question. Come spring and summer I will be using these products outdoors to see what they do. They are so easy to work with that I’m sure they should be fine, but we will see.
Well I usually start with Megs d300 correction compound. It’s a nice balance of cut and finish. Then I will go either more or less aggressive from there.
Phil, live your videos for your honesty . You don't have to explain why and what you do or charge. ( honesty I think you guys don't charge enough ...lol) people are a$$holes and keyboard warriors. Probably why I prefer animals over people...lol. that paint film protection is very cool. Need that stuff. I have a question though....maybe I should ask Arron from extreme solutions, but can you use the LRV 496 before the LRV 403 then coating after waiting 24 hours? Going to do a Dodge Charger dark blue in color. All of your videos crack me up....and I learn alot in the process..its a win win situation.. Thanks to both of you...much respect
Hi. Thanks man!! Good question. The 403 is so smooth and nice as a finish polish you probably wouldn’t need 496 before or after it. I would go with just one of those polishes instead of both. The 496 does seem to be working great as a primer polish and coat right away as I am seeing no issues on my Sage Avalon at the moment. But the 403 should cure 24h then coat over it.
People need to understand that you run a business and if the customer will not pay for a full paint correction you don't have to and if the vehicle is a daily driver there is no point to make a full correction because it will have swirls again and it can be dangerous because of the thickness of the paint it is not as much as it came from the factory. Experience and knowledge make the difference. BTW sorry for my writing.😅
In meguiar's marine rv range, there is M4716 hard water spot remover "spray", and M180232 extreme marine water spot detailer "spray also". I wonder if it would work well on car paint ?!, has anyone tried ?. Thank you. I ask because Meguiar's products are much more common in my country than the last coat for example !. M4716 interests me well, it goes on boats, it must also go on car 😉
I’m not sure if it would complete remove them. But being an acidic product I’m sure it would weaken any remaining waxes or sealants on a vehicle. But if you want to remove water spots from your vehicle anyway either using this product or polishing would remove any protection and you would want to start over with a good protected anyway.
Phil you just trying to get rid of products?😂.... Torque?....Really?😂 You run out of F11 or Shine Armor?😂 Comparing Black Ice to Torgue is blasphemy 😂😂😂. I’m just joshing of course. Great vid my friend! We constantly fight the correction vs enhancement argument. I tell my customers right off the bat I can’t get all the swirls out most of the time. The only guarantee I give them is it will look way better when I’m done!
@@MirandaDetailing you also mentioned trying to get away from panel wipes. I have eliminated 2 items from my arsenal. Clay lube and panel prep products. You don’t need to buy clay lube, you have all you ever need in your wash bucket(fresh wash bucket). You don’t need to buy panel prep sprays. Either make your own with rubbing alcohol and water or just use TW Hybrid polishes. They need a damp cloth to remove the polish which pretty much eliminates a panel wipe at all😂! Or just use a damp cloth for removal of any polish....hmmm!
Not sure why people get bent out of shape over enhancements! You are cleaning it up and applying some protection. It’s a daily and not a show car or a garage Queen. They aren’t going full out ceramic or anything. Heck even if you enhance it then actually ceramic coat it. People need to get real. Ya perfect cars look really nice but as daily drivers it’s impossible to keep them that way. Even a full out top level full level PPF will experience something in its life time that can damage it.
Wow Tahoe came out amazing.wish trolls would just follow some1 else.sucks that u need 2 explain ur business 2 the trolls when they don't even detail 4 a living LIKE urself.great video and tutorialgood friend.b well.
@meow meow i can scratch the door handle ahh naughty meow leave for one moment business and price a side or okay did you also had in mind in remove the swirls about the clear coat and to deep will damage or make the clear coat thinner? And the coat is a wax or ceramic coat still looking careful or light to see the swirls and the protection of any wax is weather condition as the sun and rust am i correct and yes beautiful shine

GM Phil. Was very busy this morning,. So I didn’t get to see your video from the very beginning. But I did go back and watch it on RUclips. Just a nosy guess. What were those two mitts that were in the bag?
Hi. Thanks! Which mitts? Can you give me a time stamp? I forgot sometimes what people see in the background 😁👍🏼
@@MirandaDetailing I believe that you were using them on the black Tahoe.
Oh you mean the clay mitt?
@@MirandaDetailing I thought that that’s what it was. You the man 👍🏾
Good honest video 👍🏻
Hi Phil, where did you get the light that is clamped to your wheel cart handle? It's the one with the three light sources. Thanks
Hi. You mean these lights? ruclips.net/video/DvyLTy-Iaf4/видео.html
They can be taken apart also which is awesome!
Nice job bro ...
I love this. Where are located at? I was considering doing my car
Hi. Thanks. We are in Chesterfield VA
Too far for me, I'm in New Jersey. I will continue to watch your videos i have subscribed.
My go to for water spot removal is vinegar. And I use superior formula 4 to keep the water spots away. In my area acid does not work for water spots because calcium is very concentrated and thick. And lot cheaper!!
Cool. Vinegar is an acid with a ph of 2.5. The ClearSR is the same ph level. I used vinegar on water spots before and it helped a little. But This stuff really dissolves them well. I guess it depends on the type of minerals we are dealing with also. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I have tried that product but those products can produce haze when not washing or polishing. But the point will be that all water spots are different. I deal a lot with cars by the beach and you but trees. It seems like companies try to ignore that when pushing their product. Great video👍👍
Canyou please give an update on the avalon king ceramic coating on your car? Trying to follow that one. Really wanting to pull the trigger on it. Thanks in advance.
Yes check out our weekend wash videos, I have one coming this Wednesday on my Avalon! It’s going on 6 months!
@@MirandaDetailing Fantastic! Cant wait.
Using 403 today so I thought I’d watch this again. Do I have to wait 24 hours after using the 403 before putting in a coating or is that not necessary?
Hi. If you don’t want to bother with an ipa or panel wipe you can wait 24h then apply your coating. But other wise you can just do a very light panel wipe and e fine applying the coating.
@@MirandaDetailing awesome thanks Phil. Used it on a Porshe today. It’s curing overnight then I’m putting Adams Graphene Ceramic Coating on it in the afternoon. Amazing product
Can you make a video on installation of that ppf?
Yes! I should do that in not detail. 😎👍🏼
@@MirandaDetailing I'm curious to see the pros and cons on applying it, I been thinking about that to add also.....thanks Phil and Jess
Sure man. It’s pretty easy to apply.
Yal did a great job From Campbell's Mobile Detailing
If your going to polish anyways, wouldn’t that get rid of the water spots? Thx
Not all the time. Some water spots are so difficult to remove by polishing that it would take longer and we would have to almost go full correction to remove them. This way we found was faster and we didn’t have to take as much time polishing. 😎👍🏼
Phil was this recorded earlier? I’m curious because I thought you are doing a ongoing test for finale without an IPA wipe. Or was that a different product?
Hi yes it was, its a few months old. They had not come out with Finale yet.
Hey I was watching this video and I showed my wife you can make good money on detailing cars by paint correction and paint enhancements 👐👍👍👍
Totally! It’s been our full time business for over 12 years.
That is great and I am also a detailer and I 've been dealing for about 10 or 15 years and I just started on my own
rant in 3...2...1 ! I LOVE IT ! preach it bro! oh and the thing under the thing ha ha
Morning From Connecticut. This maybe a little off topic. Question will Clearsa work on a bird poop stain ? Just cleaned my new truck didn’t see the poop on my truck until I cleaned it. Pretty sure I’m going to have to polish it out with my DA . Thank you .
Hi. Hood question. I’m not sure...but water spots are mineral deposits that can be devolved. Bird is...lots of stuff🤣
@@MirandaDetailing I kinda new the answer to my question lol thanking for responding again I enjoy the channel.
You’re welcome😎👍🏼
Wow it’s amazing product to use them for the key detail the car and I want to thank you for all the information you explain how to use it and I want to thank you and when I told her you are the professional you have to trust me when I say that I want to thank you sir I appreciate your business and for your time and you have a nice they
Thank you!!
Great work👍👍👍
Awesome I’ll get that product!! 😁👍🏼
Thank you for another great / informative video Phil. This stuff looks great. I’ve been using Gtechniq W9 Water Spot Remover and it just works “ok” for me. If the spots aren’t super fresh it doesn’t seem to do a whole lot for me. I may have to check out ClearSR (and pronounce it like you!)
You’re welcome and thank you!! 🤣
HAHA..Love your internet know-it-all impression
🤣🤓
Great video informative video
Do you polish the roof on bigger cars?
Yup we do. Usually the roof is in rough shape becasue of being neglected, but we will polish it to the best degree possible.
How's this different than CarPro Spotless? Pros and cons vs Spotless.
Hi. Not sure. I haven’t tried the Carpro spotless yet.
Can we use the product in direct sunlight
Good question. Come spring and summer I will be using these products outdoors to see what they do. They are so easy to work with that I’m sure they should be fine, but we will see.
Do they offer a film for the bonnet sorry hood 😁 it looks good some show up a lot more then that
Hi yes this company does offer full PPF wraps. I just don’t have time to learn how to PPF full panels.
how to remove water spots from "plastic chrome" such as the roof rails and window trim on most VWs?
I would use the same process. Either use a water spot remover like we did or hand polish, Or both
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Is it true that meguiars wheel brightner works as well for water spots phill ?
Hi. For light fresh water spots yes. I have used it before like that. But for hard water spots not really.
What is your favorite products for removing swirls
Well I usually start with Megs d300 correction compound. It’s a nice balance of cut and finish. Then I will go either more or less aggressive from there.
@@MirandaDetailing is that the only compound you use
Nope. We have a variety of compounds and polishes we use. Xtreme Solutions, Malco Epic, Meguairs M110 just to name a few more.
Subscribed 👍
"The thing that goes under the thing!" 😁😁😁
🤣
Phil, live your videos for your honesty . You don't have to explain why and what you do or charge. ( honesty I think you guys don't charge enough ...lol) people are a$$holes and keyboard warriors. Probably why I prefer animals over people...lol. that paint film protection is very cool. Need that stuff. I have a question though....maybe I should ask Arron from extreme solutions, but can you use the LRV 496 before the LRV 403 then coating after waiting 24 hours? Going to do a Dodge Charger dark blue in color. All of your videos crack me up....and I learn alot in the process..its a win win situation..
Thanks to both of you...much respect
Hi. Thanks man!! Good question. The 403 is so smooth and nice as a finish polish you probably wouldn’t need 496 before or after it. I would go with just one of those polishes instead of both. The 496 does seem to be working great as a primer polish and coat right away as I am seeing no issues on my Sage Avalon at the moment. But the 403 should cure 24h then coat over it.
@@MirandaDetailing thanks buddy
Have you every used Poor Boys Black Hole for black vehicles or White Hole for White?
Hi. Nope. We have never used any poor boys products.
People need to understand that you run a business and if the customer will not pay for a full paint correction you don't have to and if the vehicle is a daily driver there is no point to make a full correction because it will have swirls again and it can be dangerous because of the thickness of the paint it is not as much as it came from the factory. Experience and knowledge make the difference. BTW sorry for my writing.😅
Thank you! Exactly! 😁😎👍🏼
looks like glass keep up the good work
In meguiar's marine rv range, there is M4716 hard water spot remover "spray", and M180232 extreme marine water spot detailer "spray also". I wonder if it would work well on car paint ?!, has anyone tried ?. Thank you. I ask because Meguiar's products are much more common in my country than the last coat for example !. M4716 interests me well, it goes on boats, it must also go on car 😉
Oh good question. I haven’t tried those. Maybe I should look them up. Thanks for that info.
@@MirandaDetailing thank you buddy 👍
Does ClearSR remove waxes , sealants ?
Thanks :)
I’m not sure if it would complete remove them. But being an acidic product I’m sure it would weaken any remaining waxes or sealants on a vehicle. But if you want to remove water spots from your vehicle anyway either using this product or polishing would remove any protection and you would want to start over with a good protected anyway.
@@MirandaDetailing Thank You !!!
Buen trabajo
Phil you just trying to get rid of products?😂.... Torque?....Really?😂 You run out of F11 or Shine Armor?😂 Comparing Black Ice to Torgue is blasphemy 😂😂😂. I’m just joshing of course. Great vid my friend! We constantly fight the correction vs enhancement argument. I tell my customers right off the bat I can’t get all the swirls out most of the time. The only guarantee I give them is it will look way better when I’m done!
🤣🤣🤣 thanks man! Yup that’s what we tell our customer also. 😎👍🏼
@@MirandaDetailing you also mentioned trying to get away from panel wipes. I have eliminated 2 items from my arsenal. Clay lube and panel prep products.
You don’t need to buy clay lube, you have all you ever need in your wash bucket(fresh wash bucket).
You don’t need to buy panel prep sprays. Either make your own with rubbing alcohol and water or just use TW Hybrid polishes. They need a damp cloth to remove the polish which pretty much eliminates a panel wipe at all😂! Or just use a damp cloth for removal of any polish....hmmm!
Exactly! Good points!!
You can also wheel brightener as a substitute to remove acid rain on paint. Would not recommend it on the windshield.👎🏾
Hi. I have tried that before and it works on fresh spots but unfortunately not on these! 😭. But it’s ok, this process worked great!! 😎👍🏼
Not sure why people get bent out of shape over enhancements! You are cleaning it up and applying some protection. It’s a daily and not a show car or a garage Queen. They aren’t going full out ceramic or anything. Heck even if you enhance it then actually ceramic coat it. People need to get real. Ya perfect cars look really nice but as daily drivers it’s impossible to keep them that way. Even a full out top level full level PPF will experience something in its life time that can damage it.
Exactly!!😎👍🏼

Was driving to the office
I think this is the first time i heard anyone say GM Black is hard clear hahaha
This particular one was for some reason 🤷🏻♂️
Chemical sales bro. Normal barkeeper friend gona do it will.
I’ll try that.
Good advise. Do what makes you money and don't do extra work for no pay.
Exactly! 😎👍🏼
Wow Tahoe came out amazing.wish trolls would just follow some1 else.sucks that u need 2 explain ur business 2 the trolls when they don't even detail 4 a living LIKE urself.great video and tutorialgood friend.b well.
@meow meow i can scratch the door handle ahh naughty meow
leave for one moment business and price a side or okay
did you also had in mind in remove the swirls about the clear coat and to deep will damage or make the clear coat thinner?
And the coat is a wax or ceramic coat still looking careful or light to see the swirls and the protection of any wax is weather condition as the sun and rust am i correct
and yes beautiful shine
What causes a car to water spot so badly 🤔
Most times it’s from washing it with hard water and they didn’t dry it. Or sometimes parking it near sprinkler systems.

🤣🤣yes I call it CLEARSER too🤣🤣👍
Looks like you need to find new products to push, can’t buy them from your links so no money for you.
Sorry. What do you mean?
@@MirandaDetailing I went to buy your clearsr and it appears that company doesn’t seem to have any of their products in stock
Tell us how you really feel.... lol
