    Because of Yvan I typically will do a rinseless wash. I love the efficiency and finish with ceramic gloss. I do love the effects of quick beads after a traditional bucket wash. The water reaction is awesome to watch, almost like the water doesn’t know where to go. A great product to look into would be a glass coating. Also love the no nonsense positive approach to all your videos.

    I use both CG and QB’s. I just washed my wife’s SUV after a trip to Lake Tahoe for a ski trip. The road grime and sand residue just fell off without a contact wash, of course, I followed up with a very easy contact wash. Having the car already protected made it an easy wash. I used DIY Rinseless Wash to release the dirt and then rinsed with water, I then sprayed Rinseless Wash again on the car before my contact wash with Rinseless Wash. This time I used QB’s in the water stream and was amazed how easy it was able to apply this way and being a full-size SUV it only took about 2 minutes max to apply. I then followed up with CG on a small towel and dry. Very quick process and fully protected! Super slick when finished! Love both products, thanks Ivan and Nick for providing us with great products that work and are fun to use!!

It cleans everything and for some reason, it makes the truck look different to my eyes. It’s killer. We sometimes have drought restrictions where I live, so rinseless is perfect.

I trailer mine and fish on the Great Lakes which is hard sometimes dirty water especially at the launch. Water spots are always an issue especially at the stern and the outboard motor. Rarely am I able to wash the boat at the end of the trip usually night time and the boat is already dry when I get home. Would ceramic coatings help or work vs a boat wax in that application?

    As context, I believe I have bought just about every one of your products and finally did a ceramic coat on my wife’s 2017 Macan. I use your products on her car. However, I use the new turtle wax products on my Hydro blue Jeep. It really adds the right amount of darkening to the paint as opposed to both of your products that makes the paint super glossy. Nothing wrong with that, but was wondering if you might be creating a product that darkened the paint while adding some gloss rather than just high gloss.

Is it apply QB first, rinse with water to activate, dry the car, and then apply CG to get the most protection and best look? Also if Im a weekly washer what should i do then after applying the protection the first week of the QB-CG combo? Do I just only use QB, rinse, dry, enjoy? Or do i apply nothing at all since its already protected from the last wash that i did last with the QB-CG combo?

I use a garden hose with a foam gun and I use a snow foam in it to do the first step before rinsing and then using a car wash(shampoo?) to do my wash. Because of how new my suv is I am not sure I need a wax/polish/compound product yet? But I do want to tackle water spotting due to using a soap.

    Yvan, just about to grab some Quick Beads - hoping it’ll help with my insane brake dust a bit. I was thinking, does slickness in general mean anything beyond towel marring? I see that many QDs and traditional polymer sealants are slick, while ceramic coatings often are not. I’ve noticed the slick surfaces seem to be more oleophobic and better for resisting dust etc. Is this one pro of the graphene? Was the industry wrong in chasing insane water beading at all costs and not looking at oil contact angles? Hydrophobicity is nice but a lot of contaminants are oily so I’m surprised no one is talking about it. An iPhone screen is slick and very oleophobic out of the box.

    I am a foam gun guy so I prefer Quick Beads since the contact angle of the the beads is greater and blow dry my cars that are coated 90% of the time. . I will do the Nick method Quick Beads and finish with Ceramic gloss since the gloss is definitely ci greater.

    I've seen others use water-activated ceramic sealers on a wet car and spraying the product into a clean, wet microfiber towel or wash pad and spread around the panel manually and rinse after. Seems like that would maximize product efficiency and get a much more even application and enhance.longevity.
