    Josh, thanks for the break-down on costs. I purchase Super Clean @ my local Walmart for about $22.00 per 2.5 gallons, a better price than Amazon.

    I have been addicted to technicians choice detailer forever! I watch for close outs at wal mart and caught them closing out Jay Leno’s Car Wash for 1.00 a bottle. I bought ten bottles and I am good for a while. Not the best but really good. Works great in my foam cannon.

    I had P&S Break Buster, Adam AIO Wheel & Tire, Turtle Wax Hyper Foam, and Meguiars Detailer Non Acid Wheel Cleaner. Out of all of them, Turtle Wax Hyper Foam works the BEST!

    Haha, I tried a few different tire shines since I started detailing in November, and then came a time when I was doing a detail and didn't realize I was out of it. So I ran up to Walmart and got that Turtle Wax one. And I've been buying it ever since. $4 and it genuinely works as well or better than the other ones I've used.

    It's important to consider which products can be diluted. Lots of people recommend diluting Brake Buster in a foam pump sprayer, any ratio from 1:1 to 1:5 are common choices. Depends how dirty your wheels are. If you wash your car every week or two, you probably only need 1:4 or 1:5 and that will save you a lot of money on the brake buster. Not sure if this is optimal for a professional or mobile detailer though.

    Haven’t watched this video fully yet. On the Break buster part which is one of my favorite products to use along side either Maguires or Sonak‘s beast mainly depending on how much they have gone up by price, but I made $650 detailing a Tundra, wash, wax (used my DA for a real nice wax/sealant, leather cleaned and conditioned, and thankfully the only carpet that was dirty was the mats so only had to extract the floor mats and not the entire carpet which was amazing for once. I’ve been looking at that same pressure washer the hut I think I’m leaning towards which is the Ryobi 2000 psi that you have a video on and while looking online I found one that looks about the same yet runs off of two of their batteries and has a safe and toes type deal we’re you don’t need hoes coming out of a garden hose which I thought was kind of cool but I was curious of the pressure so I’ll keep looking to see if you have a review on that one yet, and if you don’t I obviously don’t blame you as you put out amazing Contant daily and then I’m still trying to catch up from my break I took a while back!

A drying aid will help with lubricity but will not keep the water from evaporating leaving the spots. I also use a no contact drying method (heated air cannon) to dry to minimize scratching and this cannot be done using drying aids unfortunately. Winter time in Az is much easier! 😂

      light or finishing pads. You can play with the pad and polish mixture. Example you can do a finishing pad with compound for more cut or polish with a finishing pad or a polish with a cutting pad or compound with a cutting pad. But only start with light mixture first and build up from there. So start with a finishing pad and polish and then move up on the aggression from there
