    Wonderful, easy, money-saving, and excellent techniques! How many companies do you know about that actively and informationally promote ways to use less of their products to achieve at least the same results and many times better results? Yvan and Nick are such great dudes that genuinely care about helping their customers and even non-customers. Another great video, thank you guys!

    The gold standard polishing system, along with the lake country pad washer has changed my quality and speed for the better. Also Yvan’s decon method has improved my efficiency. I’m a 58 year old detailer that learns every day. My first car had an 8 track player, now my new car won’t work with out my iPhone. Change with the technology. Also finishing with the rotary is a gloss monster method. I would drive from Oklahoma to Omaha for a training session.

    I purchased a 2005 car that had NEVER been detailed. Used your soaps, iron remover, decontamination towel rinsed and water just sat flat on paint. Rinsed then used water spot remover and all of a sudden beading was back! Incredible, have purchased your complete line. THANK YOU!!!!!!! Where do you get the roll around carts you do wheels with?

People ask me how do you keep it shining so much and how do you get it to bead when it rain? What are you using? I go into talking about the DIY Detail products and point them to your UA-cam channel.

    Hi guys, I'm from Australia and the current weather is extremely hot and humid. I tried your 3 year coating for the first time at my shop. Gloss and slickness were amazing. Only issue I had was streaking when doing the second wipe. It was so difficult to remove the streaking.

    The DIY Detail podcast has greatly improved my detailing experience. It makes it more efficient and fun for me. Keep up the good work! One thing I’m also struggling with is the washing of microfiber towels and how to prevent cross contamination. Do you have any tips regarding this? Last time I dumped all my towels in a bucket of rinsless and then threw them all in the machine with a dedicated liquid. Is this preventing cross contamination from the coatings etc?

    So I just recently polished my car with your orbital sander technique along with the Gold Standard pad and Polish. Fantastic results! So if I’m understanding this correctly, if I were to use App I would do this step after using the Gold Standard polish and then ceramic coating?

    Love all these techniques, mostly APP! I haven’t mastered the wash/clay/seal technique by myself because I work mostly outdoors. If I could wash in my garage I would love it, or if I had someone come right behind me and dry it would work. I just can’t get the ceramic gloss off quick enough as it cures and I’m afraid of that.

    True with the iron remover - I tried spray, leave few min. and rinse off. Then i reapplied the iron remover and there were still red coming off. Then, the next panel I tried iron remover with psd towel... Different story - no "red coming off" after second reapply test to see.

      If you can get someone to check your work for the first panel, the rest you can do with your eyes closed. As long as you use your leveling towel over the whole surface, you won’t Leave high spots. If you do good work with a wax, you will be excellent with a coating.

    Great discussion about the water spot remover and how it was an evolution/improvement on the old standby MDR.
    Yvan I believe you used to recommend a concoction of ONR and MDR that could be sprayed on as a pretreatment for a wash in the middle of winter. Is there an equivalent mixture that could be made with DIY WSR and rinseless?
    I would like to quickly keep the salt from building up too much without having to use a hose/pressure washer.

    The two bucket method was obsolete eighteen years ago when final inspection australia created the zero bucket method without snow foam or with. I went zero bucket in 2014. But im rinseless nostly today
    my preference is applying rinseless then pressure rinsing. Snow foam was designed i feel mostly to sell more soap but its great for muddy and gritty cars i admit. Yvan i must admit that i didnt use a clay towel with any iron remover because of two things - i thought the iron remover and clay towel would marr the finish as its pushing metallic contaminants across the paint with poor lubrication from the product but your system has fixed those issues 2. Most iron removers and clay towels were not compatible and the chemical would turn a clay towel or mitt to looking and feeling like melted licorice. Thanks for APP as ive always hated prep sprays with coatings since 2008

    One more question - I'd like to do a decon before polishing but in wintertime I'm limited to my garage which has no water hose. Is it sufficient to rinseless wash, then use decon towel together with rinseless, prior to polishing? Or should I wait till warmer months, and then wash > decon towel w/ iron remover > rinse > water spot remover > rinse, *then* polish? I'm a newbie - just not sure if I'm overthinking - thanks.

    Can I ask. I want to try polishing for the first time with the hand sander method. The infamous “test spot”. Is that to ascertain how many passes will give you the desired gloss or correction. I understand there are variables. I’ll be on the yellow waffle and gold standard.

    I got into detailing my car during COVID lockdowns. Nothing better to do, so I learnt how to polish and care for my car. Applied my first 3 year ceramic coating and just love how good it still looks. I started noticing Yvan's great tips whilst watching other car detailing channels and quickly realised he was someone to follow. Amazing knowledge with a no nonsense approach. I've started to only use DIY products because of how effective and efficient they are. I'm a middle aged lady who has lots of other things I want to be doing with my time. So I'll always be checking to see what Yvan and Nick recommend rather than others who seem to just collect gear. More is not more! Best wishes from Australia 🦘
