While my neighbors are gonna be looking up during the solar eclipse, I'm gonna be washing my car, taking advantage of no direct sun and maximizing that Incredible Suds dwell time.
Excellent
Haha! Amazing!
No peeking 🫣!
😂😂
This channel is my guilty pleasure
Thank you.
Nothing to be guilty about
I recently messed up my paint with wet sand paper (tried to do touch up fixes... never again!!). Fortunately, the gold standard polish and microfiber pad saved the day. Love this stuff 👍
Nice work!
Great video and I am ready for warmer weather after being cold all week. Interior ceramic makes keeping your interior clean in the winter a breeze and I cannot recommend this product enough. I just received delivery of my second gallon of Interior Clean and Protect. Something no one is talking about is how effective this combination is at not attracting dust. The car in the background looks like a diamond! Thank you for the video!
Thank you.
Amazing podcast, and congratulations on 75k subscribers.
Thanks so much!
Finally the Wax of my Dreams thank you! Cheers!
Thank you.
I don't rush detailing or doing a wash as it is therapy for me. Great video as always.....getting very close to doing my spring clean, tires swapped today (and yes they were completely clean).
Perfect
I enjoy your videos. I'm also impressed that you take the time to respond to every comment.
Thank you.
The only ones in the industry, no wonder they are growing so quickly.
Can’t wait to watch Yvan do more interiors!
Thank you.
Great video idea!
Thank you!
Guys, I don't often leave comments but in this case I feel the need to benefit low budget weekend warriors on the cleaning of winter salt on carpets. My experience is that in 90% of the cases, elbow grease works using the tips of your shop vac and just scrapping the salt area while vacuuming at the same time. In cases where it's a bit more stubborn, I will spray a a light chemical i.e. (spray nine or P&S cleaner) and scrub it with a hard bristle brush and voila! I realize it is very basic but we probably agree that getting the job done in the most efficient and cost effective way needs to be part of our focus. Looking forward to hearing from you guys on this elbow grease job!!
Perfect
Can not wait for the wax to slap on top of the diy 5 year coating which i have just done the first wash on my wife's car, it looks epic, thanks again for top notch product's
Thank you.
That wax sounds good. I can't wait for it to be released.
Thank you.
On point🤝
We had 15cm of wet snow yesterday in quebec. Last weekend I was washing without a coat. Weather is all over the place💩
Spring in Quebec, an epic battle between winter and summer
Nice chairs Ivan!
Thank you.
Would love to see you do a video showing us how you do windows. Great video
Thanks for the idea!
The water spot remover for the final “tada” to make beading happen again is what I am most stoked and learned about
Great
I started using rinseless to clean my glasses like two weeks ago. Best clean my glasses have had, makes it so easy to remove face and finger oil from them. Use to fight the haze and have tried so many other things
Excellent!
Guys! Love your videos and the product line looks awesome. HATE that a lot of the products are still not in stock, including the kits. Wouldn't be such an issue if shipping wasn't so high. 🤷
Me too, any idea how long till products start getting back in stock?
Everything should be back in order soon
Forget shipping we need product to order first 😂😂
Ready
Thank you.
@@diydetailofficialQuick question When leveling ceramic coating is it recommended to use a waffle towel?
Your videos are always adding information rather than just posting a video for the sake of content
Thank you, our goal is to provide educational content that’s relevant, and of course hopefully entertaining as well.
Please create a flow chart so easier to follow and also if you can have a infographic on the layers of detailing and products etc so it becomes lot easier to follow.
Flow chart will make it lot easier for folks to follow who have ceramic coatings already or no ceramic coatings alike.
The wash process is the same
can you do a video on laquer painted cars? would be great to see more on how to deal with old car paint
Yes
Just did the ol' Spring Clean on the family SUV. Looks like new. First season introducing some DIY Detail products, and here I learned I could use some All Clean for those salt rings without a need for a wet vac (the only way I used to know how to get them out). One of the reasons I'm likely switching to All Clean as my wheel cleaner b/c its a more versatile product for the rest of the car (bought bottle to try, but next purchase likely the gallon for price once diluted). What about rubber winter mats...I was struggling with some dirt spots with some general soap and my drill brush; I was tempted to let 15:1 All Clean dwell on the mats, but wasn't sure if I was good to go with that dilution. P.S. love the sprayer that comes with your products!
Yes DIY Detail All Clean will help those mats
Have you guys made a video for cleaning/restoring soft tops?

Hey DIY Crew. I’m trying to find the video where u showed during a vehicle s first wash after applying ceramic coating spraying quick beads liberally onto the grill. I thought it was in the spark first wash video but wasn’t. I’m trying to show my Dad. He s doing first wash today after we applied the stack last Thursday. Thank you!
I thought it was the spark as well
I also can't wait to see this wax product. Up to now that is what I always use, every fall I wax my vehicles. Can you say where youre at with this product
Hopefully in May
Hey guys, I'm loving your channel and products. I want to pick your brains a bit. I just got a new to me jeep wrangler with the black factory fiberglass hard top and was wondering if you would polish it and if you can ceramic coat it? Thanks in advance.
Yes to both
When do you think the 3 year coating kit and the decontamination kit will be back in stock? Love your stuff, great video.
Hopefully next week
@@diydetailofficial Thank You
You have made me comfortable in doing a ceramic coating. I'm getting a new truck so I want to do it soon after I receive it. Is there a video on the steps to accomplish this. Since its new do I have to polish it? Enjoy your videos
Im curious to know this as well
Hi there! Not Yvan, but may be able to help! Have been following these guys for over a year now (and several others) and have started a business out of it. Polishing is the best way to ensure its a perfectly clean surface for the coating to adhere to. However, if you lack the means to do so, a good clean followed by their panel prep (if you’re using their coating) will be sufficient to apply a coating. They have several videos of them doing the whole process, i would highly recommend watching them a couple times! I think 6-10 months ago there were quite a few of that style if memory serves correct.
If you’re here watching these videos, you are going to love the process and result. Best of luck!!
There is like 20 videos on the channel that describe this exact situation in different choices of what you want to achieve, especially with new paint. Have a look and don’t feel rushed to get it done, enjoy the process.
Thank you, as the others have mentioned, we have several videos on the subject, but this may be the most pertinent.

What would you suggest to condition the rubber trim around the doors and hatch. Thanks 🇨🇦👍👍
Just keep them clean
Is the wax going to be Graphine or ceramic infused? Either way can’t wait for this product to be released in the DIY line!💯💪🏼
No , just a great wax
When will you guys have the stack back in stock? I want to coat our vehicles in 3 weeks? I've been checking daily lol
It will be back in time
Hey guys, I’ve been enjoying your rinseless wash for past few weeks. Since i have portable air compressor, i decided that i might get big ik sprayer for myself because i deploy rinseless wash first and rinse it of, spray rinseless again on my car. Would it be better for me to go for ik multi pro 12+ or ik foam pro 12. I do enjoy foaming but i’m not sure which is better for rinseless wash
The sprayer is best for DIY Detail Rinseless Wash
You guys should do a survey. Question would be: Do you take your car for rust treatment? I have never taken my car for that and never heard anybody taking their car for it.
The farther north you go, the more popular it is.
Hey! In 5:22 you mentioned that you can use Rinsless Wash on a carpet or a seat. I suppose you meant a fabric seat as well? Can Rinsless Wash really be used on a fabric seat?
Yes, fabric and leather
Wouldn’t you need to rinse the contact wash film grit before using the decon towel. That would make me a bit nervous
No need
Hi Guys, Two questions regarding the decon towel, Is it safe to use on chromed plastic wheels or paint protection film? (Clear bra)
Yes
I have a Nissan Murano SV 2019. The Cabin Filter is hard to get in and out
Yes some are not simple
You have a glass coating coming?
Eventually
Car behind you looks great, the tires tho. Way over on the glossy side. Takes away from the vehicle itself just INHMO
I can’t believe people would use the factory carpet mats in the winter. Gotta have weather techs
Many people do
I live in Toronto Canada We have bad salt on our cars what is the best product for salt removal both interior and exterior
Exterior DIY Detail Water Spot Remover
Interior DIY Detail All Clean
When I wash my car, I will typically spray on Rinsless Wash (or incredible suds), then rince with a pressure washer, then spray it again with Rinsless. When I go over it with the Legacy sponge, there are often large dirt filled water beads. I’m not sure what to do with this… Should I wash the panel again, and again until the beads are clear? Should I rince the car? Should I just dry these with a towel? Or is there something I might be doing wrong with the washing process? Would love to hear what you think. Thanks! 😊
Dry, and enjoy
Thanks!
@nick we all know what Yvan drives of course but what are you driving these days?? Does it appear on the channel?
Haha a 2017 Subaru legacy, it’s been great for me and the kids, there is a video or two from when we started!
@@diydetailofficial Nice! If you have kids that sounds like a great candidate for an interior clean video!! 😀👍
On average, how often should decontamination occur? Annually?
1-2 times a year
When are most items coming ack in stock?
They are coming in daily
@DIY Detail HELP!!! Just washed car and next day car is absolutely covered in yellow pollen! Rinseless? Or?
Rinseless
What shop stools are those?
Vipers
I'm not trying to be funny here because I genuinely love the content and had to purchase items on Amazon because of no availability on the website but for real, was all your inventory that was expected to come in on that containership that hit the bridge a few days ago? I've been asking going on the 4th week now about products to hear that the new warehouse was still in progress and orders would be able to be filled sooner yet 75% of the site is still sold out? What gives?
Our manufacturing plants can’t keep up with demand.
This is the kind of video I needed. As a new weekend warrior looking to take care of my vehicle, I needed some clear instructions on the steps that should be taken and what each step actually does. This video nails it on all fronts. My only question is whether there’s a difference between ceramic gloss and quick beads besides how they are applied? Thanks again for the great and informative video.
The results are quite similar
About interior ceramic, don't sleep on that, I promise, you won't regret it
Thank you.
1 pair of 3d spider rubber mats for winter, 1 pair of 3d spider rug mats for spring /summer. No problem.
Excellent
