Automotive Detailing, Product Reviews and more!
I am a mechanic as my full time job but love to detail my cars and cars for my friends, family, co-workers and referrals on the weekends. I am not a professional detailer nor do I own my own business. I am just a guy that loves cars and loves them more when they are spotless. I have been doing this since I was 16. I am not the best out there but I love taking a fair looking car and turning into a head turner.
I may do videos on tools, mechanical videos etc. but the majority of my videos will be automotive detailing.

Come on Liam
Both seem to be identical. I guess 1-3 month out follow up video would tell the tale.
What does the inside of your neighbors car smell like to have that many trees?
It wasn’t very strong. I think they were all wore out and he just kept adding to them instead of throwing them away. 🤣
@@FABAutomotiveDetailingI thought it was funny because it brought back a memory from childhood. My dad did the same in his farm truck. The smell came from what we stepped in though. 😂
Fleet vehicles can have them and some shady dealers put them on vehicles so if you miss a payment they know where it is
Does the gun swivel ? Some do and don’t. Not sure if the one that comes with the pressure washer does. It helps untangle the hose as well if it swivels. Thanks for the great review !
It does not have a swivel on it but with the type of hose it has you don’t need it. My old pressure washer had a stiff hose and was a pain to deal with. You are welcome and thanks for watching.
Wouldn't waste any money on a tire inflator thats multiple psi off and cant fill it to desired psi.
I need to give it a try on my oxford white xlt ranger. 👍
Thank you for such an informative and FUN video. I hadn’t given much thought to better home cleaning of car/pickup truck wash mitts. I have 60+ years of experience on this planet and am looking forward to washing my vehicles with an unprecedented confidence of not scratching my paint with my wash mitt. Keep up the good work! I subscribed two minutes into this, my first, video of yours. 😂
Thank you and welcome to the fab family
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing You are most welcome, my Friend. 😊
It’s funny when people make videos on good paint quality cars 😅Show on some older car, older paint, oxidation… So we see the result
CMON MAN.....Who the phuxxccok....cares about and inflator...you act as if the world is amiss if everyone doesnt have something that truly useless to 99 percent of the world ??? WTF....When did it become necessary to inflate our tires every single day of the year.....WHERE DOES THIS IDIOCY COME FROM....I KNOW....guys like you who are just here as a shill for some unneeded product....GO AWAY YOUR ABSOLUTELY USELESS......
Great video brother. Yeah, I don't see what you could have done wrong. I also thought wonder if warm water would help it dissolve🤔 but I agree, SCC from. Griots is great. I used plenty when I first started detailing 👍👍👍
Thanks man!
Dang wish i had a car so i can put some wax on
I bet it was hard to remove after because u got way overkill amount of wax but it still looks great
You put way too much on it but it looks great
Man that car looks great
Im sure that wax holds on even in super hot temp because its got chemicals that stabilize it
It looks fabulous, and black car is very hard to do because you see every imperfections on a black car
I bet in direct sun that black car is smoking hot does the wax stay on or does it melt off, i think they mix in some clay powder into the wax thats why it looks so good on the car because when you buff it off with the towel it dries out all the oils and its like you did a clay bar cleaning on your car its so good the results speak for themselves it looks fabulous
Carnuba wax is so great its so smooth and glossy like candy shells, truck looks great
I bought a Milwaukee 21mm cordless polisher not knowing that I would have been better off buying the 15 as I am fairly new to polishing.. Would you recommend selling the 21 and take the loss, or can I get better results replacing the 6 inch with a 5 inch backing plate?
I would definitely switch to a 5 inch backing plate. With the long throw you just have to pay close attention to mirrors, door handles and body lines when you get close to them.
Do a vid on replacing rear fog in bumper
Do you know the engine model number? Or what type of engine it is
This can be used on rearview mirrors if they have anti glare? Thanks
Hopefully eating Griots pods wont be ome popular like tide pods
🤣 I would suggest not doing it anyways!
I just watched the official Griot's video on these pods. You didn't do anything wrong.
That’s good to know! Thanks for watching
I find this product to be good after leveling it with another ceramic spray. It just adds extra shine is all.
I’m trying to find the products and nothing. Any links?

Here is the link! It all depends on where you live and the zip code you put in.
Awesome review video! This just might be what I'm looking for. Im a DIY'er and Im currently using a palm sander 😅 for correction and polish. I cant justify hundreds of dollars for something that will only get used a few times a year. Solid video, sir! You earned a subscriber today! Cheers!
Thank you and welcome to the FAB Family
This review really must have made an impact, I cant find this DA in any store, and it's out of stock online! Any other budget friendly Diy-er DAs you reccomend?
Im afraid of burning the paint.
It can be done but if you keep your hands moving and use common sense then you will be fine. You would have to sit in one spot for a very long time to burn through.
Definitely does the job.. pretty well actually!!. I Like products like this👍🏻
It’s always been a great car wash soap
I get better results with runny foam. I agree with you completely.
Thanks man
Pods are convenient however usually more expensive and I’ll stick to the good ole jug of their soap. Appreciate the demo Brian
You are welcome!
El mismo cabeza de Ñame 😅😅😅 Ridículooooo 😅
Great video. Mrs. is on to something. Warm water may be the answer
Thanks and I agree!
About 27 years ago there were pods at Walmart. Not sure of the brand
That’s interesting
Funny how things repeat
How muck is the yearly subscription?
I am actually surprised it has taken this long for someone to do these lol.
I’ve had them for a while just haven’t had time to use them until now.
Some dealerships used car dealerships are putting them in vehicles so if they have to repo they know right where to go get them
Yes they do but I had only owned it for 2 weeks and that corrosion wouldn’t happen that quickly. It was on there from the first owner.
I don’t have the patience to wait for it to dissolve. And yes I passed 3rd grade, so I can use a measuring cup. Another gimmick to sell stuff.
Nothing wrong with that!
You know, that’s the reason why I like your channel so much I agree with you. You don’t have to have shaving cream type of foam and that’s what the so-called haters will always say the phone you’re producing with the Griots Garage Is exactly the phone I always produce thank you for always keeping it real and would great videos you do
Always! I’m not one to go with what the crowd is doing.
As a big fan of Griot's Garage, I am surprised they have a huge "miss" on this one. No thanks. And correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the cost penalty for convenience is quite steep too.
The soap is great and always has been but the pods are more for convenience than anything else.
I agree, They should’ve made the pod a little bigger so you only need one per foam cannon
Yes!
You want thick shaving cream, takes longer to drop down and gives you more time before the soap dries on the surface , just my personal experience using runny soap like this vs thick shaving cream type.
We all have a preference of what we like and that’s ok. I just wash as fast as I can so runny soap works better for me.
@@FABAutomotiveDetailing honestly ph neutral soap alone doesn’t do anything at all than just lubricate the surface. So foam the car, use a pressure washer to rinse off as much as possible and the foam only help to avoid scratches, than foam again and use a good microfiber towel or mitt with the 2 bucket method. Ive done it a few times, rinse before without soap and with foam and theres 0 difference of how clean the surface gets without agitation. I use a touchless system by Chem-X and 9-10 cars it gets it nicely clean for a maintenance wash and passes the finger scrubbing test , also I use a deionized water filter so rinse off the last process and air dry and just dry with a towel the few spots where it drips down . By far the fastest method. I can finish a big 3 row Suv in 15min start to finish having everything set up already.
The way it reads to me was to fill with water, add 2 pods allow the 2/3 mins to dissolve then attach top.... 🤷🏻♀️...
@@KatrinaTrys Maybe so but the pods were in the water for atleast 30 minutes so I would have thought they would have dissolved even with the lid on. 🤷
Appreciate the honest review. Personally, dont think they're something I'm interested in.
Always! Thanks for watching
The pods look like an answer to a question that no one asked. Thanks for the review.
You are welcome!
Brian, thanks for the video. In my experience, when a company changes the packaging or how they distribute the product, you will be paying more? For companies, it is all about the bottom line. I prefer to measure my own products.
Nothing wrong with doing it yourself! Thanks for watching
youve probably already heard this, but the easiest thing would be to just pop the little pods and squirt the soap into the foam cannon. that way you kill all risk of getting that plastic jammed up in your cannon.
Yes that would definitely work but for a proper review I wanted to do it the way they say to in the directions. Thanks for watching
Great demo. I think Mrs FAB is on to something lol. I think Griot's should put a suggestion of using hot water to help dissolve them. I think it would work better and less risk of getting anything in the pickup tube. Just my opinion on it. Thank you for doing this. The culture needs FAB.
Thanks! I think hot water would definitely help dissolve it.
Great review Brian! You always give great honest reviews! ❤ your channel. Keep putting out the great content.
Thank you Tim!
Great video but I think you didn’t have to make excuses that you may have done something wrong pods not good in foam canon I too had problems. I also love the company that shouldn’t matter it didn’t work right. Ok thanks for your videos I enjoy them
Thank you! I wasn’t making excuses just more or less wondering if I should have done something different. It worked great in the bucket.
