    I need a video showcasing the uses of a steamer because honestly I never thought I needed one

      ​@@moiseyfranchuk7766for WHAT though?? Because honestly, they seem like one of the most useless tools because anything they do, something else can do just a well and almost as easily.
      Drill brushes though, they're the goat. Rubber floor mats. Hard plastic trim, curtain leather surfaces, TIRES! Oh, and use the toilet brush looking one on its side for the easiest carpet vacuuming experience of your life. And all for, what, $15 for a set of 3 or 4? G.o.a.t

      Definitely get one I use one for my detailing company and it’s the one of my most used tools, very efficient and effective.

    Love it. Regarding the cheaper microfiber- I would much rather use crappy towels on wheel wells and door jambs than a creature or 365 haha. I don’t like to get my TRC towels gross, but that’s just me. They all have a place

    Make one with chemicals such as APC, rinseless, iron remover, super clean/low cost degreaser etc.

    To each their own, but for me plastic garage flooring is a solid B tier....possibly even a fringe A tier candidate.
    Up here in the frozen hellhole of Hoth (Minnesota) with a cracked concrete floor that is also deadly slippery when wet or snowy (they really brought the cream to the top when they finished it)...its a godsend. I have the luxury of a vented natural gas heater hanging in my garage, so all that salty/sandy snow and ice just melts right off and drops through the floor...leaving me with a clean, dry and relatively warm floor that I can lay on if needed. No more grime tracking into my cars or house. I can walk out there in socks if I want to. Is it comfortable to lay on or walk on without shoes? Not really. But it beats dirty, wet and cold concrete.
    No issues with mold here, my garage floor is pitched toward the door. I also pull it out in big sections to clean in the spring time. I can have all 550 square feet of it out of the garage and on the driveway in under 15 minutes (taking my time). A piece of plywood or high durometer rubber mat is all you need to protect it from a jack or typical jackstands, but I use ESCO jack stands (which have a wide foot) if I'm not using my Sprinter scissor lift.
    Ultimately, Levi is right...stock concrete is great in the right conditions. If I ever have the luxury of a nice light broom finish concrete floor with a drain and in-floor heat, then I will definitely drop the Swisstrax.

    Not big on the flooring either, and I'm old school like Levi. I use my compressor to help blow dry the car. Less bulky and faster to me.

    I love my cheap Home Depot microfibers. I use them for engine bay details, wheel wells, and anything else where it's a dirty job and I don't want to ruin my nice rag company towels. It may take multiple towels to absorb whatever filth that a single rag company towel could do, but they're cheap and plentiful so I don't mind. Maybe one day I'll invest in having nice towels for dirty jobs but not rn lol

    Epoxy flooring is a B, agree not needed but most homeowners are very proud of the look

  • @MyGuyKirby

    California duster, great on your dash only, so D for every day use

  • @BigCarKilla
    @BigCarKilla Рік тому

    Epoxy flooring when done right, is perfectly fine for chemical resistance. If it’s flaking etc, it’s faulty.

    S tier in my opinion should be: bucket, cheap microfiber, quality microfiber. And then I would add some kind of spray bottle or pump sprayer to S tier as well, as it saves money and is less wasteful than constantly buying new bottles of every product.
    You can do pretty much everything with just these items. Everything else is nice-to-have or niche.

    I am going to shock everyone but I have used drill brushes for years and never damaged anything. If you are a person who takes a super stiff drill brush Bentley leather seats than that is you being not thoughtful. It's not the fault of the the drill brush.
    Drill brush=S

  • @randybenter1264

    There are several other common items I think you could have included (e.g. polisher, wheel brush, drying towel, applicators).

    Water blade is C only for the GLASS

  • @levelbest6142
    @levelbest6142 Рік тому +2

    Levi & Anthony being modest, but I’ll say what we all know: TRC fiber is the easiest S tier on this list. Indispensable.
    I’d put Kirkland sig towels at an A solely because they protect my TRC towels from the horrible jobs 😂
    I hope you guys consider doing more tier list vids like this, was funny and informative. I learned I need to use my steamer more

    How can you wash a car without a pressure washer? I don’t understand why it’s more important the steamer

    • @theragcompany
      @theragcompany  Рік тому +1

      Millions of people wash their cars each year without a pressure washer. Thanks to modern detailing chemicals like rinseless washes it's a piece of cake and the results are every bit comparable to something that was pressure washed when you use common sense and pre-soak areas that are too heavily soiled to work on right away.
      Beyond that, the traditional act of washing a car with a bucket of good quality soap and a garden hose is a perfectly-viable non-pressure-washer solution that can yield equally good results with a bit of elbow grease.
      It's all possible without a pressure washer, which is why it's not higher in our list, but there's no denying that a pressure washer is certainly a *nice*-to-have tool.
