My Toyota is 26 years old. Aside from the lids, the body finish shines like new. I like Mother's. 8yrs ago, I used their 3 step process except I used cleaning wax instead of clay bar, because the 1st step pure polish restored the shine way beyond my expectations, and now I reapply Mother's 3rd step pure carnuba wax every 4 months, well before the wax already on my vehicle wears off the finish. I use Lucas spray wax after each wash. I Rain-X all the glass. Between washes I wipe the pollen and pollution dirt off every 2 days so I don't have to wash my van for a month or more! Keep your car finish slippery and dirt will repel. Re-waxing my van by hand takes me about an hour now that I keep up with protecting the clear coat. Mother's #3 carnuba wax lasts about 6 months. My 23yr old barn rescue Harley shines like new also. Dupont paste Chrome polish makes old chrome brilliantly shine.

Big fan of the spritz on after wash ceramic washes.. Meguires Hybrid Ceramic Wax A major advantage: It doesn't mess up plastic trim like paste wax! This is huge.. no more wax in crevices etc.. Wipes clean.. can even easily release light stuck specks (bug parts?) on your front.

Before you start washing your vehicle, park in a shaded area but not under a tree, make sure the car surface is not hot but cool to warm, don't use a Pressure Washer, use a garden hose, use the 2 bucket method. Spray and wet down the vehicle, foam your vehicle, rinse the car, foam again, microfiber mitts soaked and soap, wash from top to bottom, sectioning off each panel, keep the wash mitt fresh by rinsing in cold water, and reapply foam suds and continue cleaning, time to rinse the whole car. Dry the car with slightly damp microfiber towel not a dry one which could scratch, or use a leaf blower which works rather well. Some people like to De-ironize (Iron Remover) their vehicle this is the time to do it. Spray and let set for about 60 to 90 seconds and Do not allow the iron remover to dry, rinse the car, using a clean damp microfiber towel wipe down and dry the car as picking up the iron remover residue. Clay Bar or Decontamination can be done, use a lubricant and always keep the car panel moist and lube, never apply pressure, your clay bar mitt, sponge, towel, or clay should glide nice and easy. Detailing a vehicle is a slow and tedious task. Now the vehicle is ready to put a sealant over the clear coat, waxed and polished. Never allow the polishing pads to become hot and move quickly across the panel evenly, change pads often and reapply the polish. I prefer to do things by hand and not using power tools. Okay, there are numerous Detailing videos. If you apply a real Ceramic Coating, it has a long cure time and you do not want to polish a vehicle that has been Ceramic Coated. Cleaning and protecting your vehicle inside out takes time, Plan on spending 6 hours minimum up to 2 days. Visual inspection of the underbody/undercarriage is time consuming as most vehicle have covers. Look for rust and crevices where water collects, time to clean the underside and near the tires, suspension linkage. Some lubrication may be needed. The outer shell or top areas of the vehicle are easy to maintain, just don't forget the bottom takes a lot of punishment and often neglected.

@@danlc95 - Indeed, an auto paint glaze primarily aims to quickly provide a glossy finish and conceal surface imperfections. Durability is typically not the main focus of these products. For a clean paint surface, Collinite 845 can indeed mask minor imperfections due to its filling properties. As an alternative to a pure glaze, products like 3D or Meguiar's AIO (All-In-One) can be considered. These products often combine polishing, glossing, and protective features, offering a more versatile approach than traditional glazes. Another option is to polish the paint and then maintain it regularly. However, this requires more effort and time, but the results can be more durable. There are indeed numerous options and approaches available, each with its own pros and cons, depending on budget constraints and the specific needs of the car owner. It's essential to consider personal preferences, available time, and the desired outcome when choosing the right product or approach for paint care.

Anyone else notice how the untreated panel initially had a solid "puddle" of water, which seemed to prove the point.....but then it sheeted off absolutely perfectly, in a way none of the others did at all. Beads are great for photos, but what you really want is no water sat on your paint.

Turtle Wax Seal n Shine or Graphene Flex Wax is a more durable protection. Colonite wax can't hold up to 3 acidic or alkaline washes. that's why I use Griots 3 in 1 because it balances durable with chemical resistance, all while still providing gloss and hydrophobics. plus, it can be diluted as a detail spray.

Hey Jimbo, got one for you to do and test Traditional rinse of a prewash snowfoam suggests to blast from the top to bottom I personally for the prewash phase i do not wait for foam to dwell for 5 minutes. Instead i go through as soon as possible am done foaming and blasting the periphery lowest sections ie side skirts and lowest points of front and rear bumper. The logic behind it is those spots will have typically the most dirt by blasting 1st you a) remove a significant amount and b) the gravity introduces additional foam to duel in to the dirt that may have remain. Naturally i move up from down repeating the process. The flats you allow the soaps suggested time to work. And c) my rationale to this is to eliminate as much as possible for the contact step of washing and of course why waste the action potential of the foam to go down the drain literally

@@autodetailingpodcast Wonderful. Many thanks for the reply on that. 😀

You should have (taped off the top portion of the 'wipe on' and 'right' panels) and used the 'spray and rinse ' on that top portion of them both!!! [you said the spray and rinse can be used as a topper' for ceramic coatings for that extra gloss; maybe you didn't because they had not 'cured' enough yet?].

Not sure I understand. Everything cured. But it was just an example for base layers of paint protection.

Why does everyone want water beading? All it does it create an opportunity for hard water spots. I want everything to sheet off as fast as it can.

I agree. The problem is current products don’t really do that

But after spraying all, the whole surface looks basically the same?

@autodetailingpodcast

It will eventually all look the same yes. Its just about how long it takes each one to look like that

Can't you put a carnauba over the ceramic to give it that "glow"?

@autodetailingpodcast

Yes

Initially the spray wax had a sheeting action when you were spraying control the ceramic does not do this. you changed the spray on the spray wax second time, so it just beaded. Beads are not desirable sheeting is. Not sure who taught you beads are good, but its false. Sheeting with little beading is the best.

What do you mean by, "Leveling it down" please?

I think you missed the MOST Important steps of Ceramic coating. The vehicles needs to be hand washed cleaned of all the road grime 1st meaning use a clean microfiber wash mitt. Next step is to Clay Bar the surface to remove the small particles buried in the clear coat. If they 2 steps are ignored the Ceramic coatings applied will be very hard to clean off properly. Probably doing more harm than any good by not doing a good job of cleaning the surface.

Carnuba wax is the best to use

'Ceramic" coatings were a huge scam back in the Day. You could add it to your Engine Oil to rebuild your Rings and Bearings.

I've tried the Maguari's ceramic spay and even put two coats on but i found when it come up for a wash the product is weak and didn't last at all , and this spay on a car then rinse off ceramic spay doesn't really do it for me as i believe that all the panels on the car do not get covered fully and its a bit of a gimmick . I see that there are ceramic spays that you just spay on the car and rinse off but it don't seem right in my opinion. I will soon try the cerakote ceramic coating and see how that performs under normal washing and how that stands up and if it lasts .

Its been a while since ive been into the sceen (meaning not had a car ive cared enought for to wax), But i use ti like magires spay wax and cerimic stuff. I think at thf time it was the first of its type to market. I had to ship it from the us to the uk to first try it.

There is something that everyone doesn't understand carnuba WAX is the only thing that stands up to SALT & SODIUM spray in winter climates city's, wax is the key word the other is polish

Read the label on ceramics. It's clay, which is used to make pottery.

Are you confident that your testing is accurate this time? It might end up like one of your previous videos that you removed just because you heard rumors that they wanted it taken down. If your testing is fair and without any manipulation, you shouldn't be afraid of companies you've given negative reviews to.

Ya I’ve done tons of torture test it wasn’t about the test itself but that I had an unbranded product next to it that they felt I was comparing it to. They were mad because it was doing much better than their coating. That’s where the problem came in.

My torture test have been done on a ton of products that have survived way longer than the Cerakote product did. I also decided that I will not talk or even show a brand that conducts business the way they do. Good or bad results on a product that’s not a brand I want to showcase on my channel. There are too many reputable brands out there to talk about it.
