- Which Brand Makes The Best Detailing Products. This video may ruffle some feathers. It was not my intention to make this video. I DON’T CLAIM TO BE THE BEST DETAILER IN THE WORLD AND I NEVER WILL! I just make content showcasing my detailing journey and experiences if people enjoy the content and love my detailing techniques that’s all that matters. Have fun detailing!!! That’s the purpose of my channel.
For the last couple of months I’ve been getting asked what brand I prefer or what brand should a starting detailer start with. Which brand line up is the simplest. Or Even what brand makes the best Iron Remover Or Soap than all the other brands so you can build your own detailing line up. So on and so forth. The channel has grown significantly since my earlier videos. I thank all of you but now I want to summarize my thoughts and experiences with chemicals and brands. They all make quality chemicals and some work better than other based on the conditions you are in!
Hopefully this video answers your questions. This is no ill will on a detailing brands out there just stuff that I have recently used and overall thoughts on the chemicals comparing to other brands which are my favorite!!! I do not claim to have used every single product from every brand known to man! Of course I only speak on here based on my experiences and my detailing journey now going onto 9 years officially. When I mean detailing I mean starting to take care of my car and becoming an enthusiast/weekend warrior using products and watching tutorials.

I know a couple of people are upset. You just let the industry and us know that they all practically do the same job. People after this video will talk their crap about you. Keep pushing it forward. The honest and transparency is why I watch you!!!!!! Everyone talks about P&S and I feel the exact same way you do about as well with other brands. I enjoy using 303, Meguiars some P&S and now a little of DIY I’ve added to my arsenal. I’m a weekend warrior. The products you’ve mentioned all has their pros and cons. Definitely some are more versatile than others. You’ve named nothing but top quality and top of the line products. Keep it up SOC
For sure my brother. That wasn't the intentions but to be blunt most of the detailing products that are out do a great job. Just some are easier to work with others and some easier to work in a variety of weather conditions. Others are geared for the hobbyist with a garage to detail. I'm super glad you enjoyed the transparency and honesty of the videos. You have a great mixture of products yourself 😅. Goes to show not one brand is the perfect brand but you said you enjoy 303 the most which is another fantastic and reputable brand. Thank you again for tuning in 💪💪💪🫡
Appreciate the shout out. I completely agree. There are so many products and it comes down to what works for that person. Most product sin general work and brands can not afford to have a bad performing product.
Anytime. The shoutout is Geniune and I know I missed other content creators but doing it on the fly you are one of those who stood out. Exactly it’s what works for the end user and you said it now and days companies can’t suck now and days. Those that come out to the market and don’t perform. It’s just a huge wave and influx of sales and they will die down quickly. Yes some products will do better than others but depends what characteristics you are looking for. 💪 I appreciate you watching
One of your very best videos loaded with great information. The way you talk about the pros and cons of each product is really helpful. I mostly detail inside my shop but sometimes it’s nice to be outside and know which products work in direct sunlight. I have dozens of products and agree that your favorites are all top quality picks!
Thank you John 🙏💪. I’m glad you found my favorites as top quality picks. We all know there is more out there to be named. I haven’t used every detailing product under the sun. But for the last couple of years I have tried many to speak my mind on the subject.
Exactly John! we have a variety of detailers from the shop, mobile, driveway detailer, multi climatic detailer depending if you’re up north and so on. No company comes out to be awful. Just some work better on others as they are trying to market the masses.
This was good stuff bro and agree with your picks and view points. Nice line up in the video and great job being straight forward and breaking everything down to the basics for you in your everyday details.
I appreciate bro. I’m glad you enjoyed this content especially the message I was conveying. Exactly everyone has their basics and how they detail weather it’s mobile, a garage detailer, enthusiast etc. there are quality brands and products out there no one wants to be the worse line up. So they have to come out swinging and must do the job 💪💪💪
Bro you got me out here bump chesting you on the screen on UA-cam, UA-cam screen😂 great literature on the DIY products and other stuff. You crack me up when you were saying man I live in the hood these folks don’t want all that detail and stuff on a vehicle. They just want there car to shine that was so funny. keep up the great contents that you give and I will always be a great follower.
Terry from the DMV 👍🏾
🤣🤣. I appreciate you Terry. It’s true though in the hood or 90% of people aren’t looking for perfection. Just quality and efficient work based knowledge their budget. DIY is a phenomenal line up same with Labo, 303, IGL, Armour Detail Supply, Shine Supply, Maxshine and much others I did not name in the video just depends what works for you. If they didn’t work they wouldn’t be in business. I’m glad you enjoyed the content and glad you value my opinion 💪🙏🫡
Great content Soc! Great job breaking down all the pro’s and Con’s of the chemicals! Keep up the great work!💯💪🏼
Thank you Todd I appreciate you tuning into the video and glad you enjoyed that I had pros and cons to say of the products and what works best. Now if you're a garage detailer they will all work amazingly well. But I am voicing more on versatility as most of dithers and enthusiast don't have a dedicated garage to detail and most detail in the driveway in the elements 💪
I like your honesty. Great content. You explained your reasoning and I think that is WONDERFUL! Keep up the great content. You do beautiful work!!!!!! It speaks volumes. Results speak for themselves. Keep them coming.
Thank you 🙏. Yes honesty and transparency is what this channel is based off of. Something’s work for myself quite effectively there are pros and cons to every product. Just depends if there are a substantial more pros than cons is the real reasoning. I’m glad you enjoy the work 💪 means a lot
Keep it coming Soc, u def been bulking 💪 ! This is loaded with great info! Thanks for making great content to help me become better! Really good point about some products and lines are made for in a garage and even climate controlled. I never thought about that.
Thank you Becca 💪. I’m glad you found this information super informative and helpful. I just want to be transparent and show that most products in the detailing industry do a great job. With slight tweaks in versatility and effectiveness based on the environment you are using on. Exactly some brands are made amazingly well but really meant for garage detailers vs some are geared to the prosumer/consumer/mobile detailers 💪💪
Thank you for taking the time to make the video. Appreciate the straightforward and honest answers. I have used some of the products you mentioned and I see why they are your top pics. Cruz on
Thank you my brother 💪💪. Some products just work better in all around weather than others I'm glad you enjoyed my picks!!!!
Appreciate your input Soc. Great video, THANK YOU !!
Thank you my brother. 💪💪. Glad you enjoyed this topic and discussion
Great video Soc! Thanks for sharing your favorites! We appreciate you!
Thank you Rob. I appreciate you enjoying and finding the content helpful 💪👍.
Great content. The amount of volumes this video had in terms of information. Wow! Keep this up. This is what sets you apart from others
Thank you my brother 💪. Yes I know some people feathers may have been ruffled. But this is just based on my experience detailing throughout the years. No one is out there to make crappy products.
Keep it up my brother. Is always good for someone not to sugar coat anything. I follow you bc ur real and firm fair and consistent.
Thank you my brother 💪💪. That’s what needs to be done now and days. Be transparent. Everyone will always have their favorites and go to. But something’s are just facts. I appreciate you following the channel
Good info. I’m always on the lookout for the “best” products. But everyone’s environment is different. I’ve moved to rinse less washing on my vehicle. I’ve tried ONR, Wolfgang, Kotch RRW, and I just ordered Hero. The more I watch DIY details, the more I want to try everything they make. I can’t just have one. 😂 Now for interiors, I still have a gallon of Xpress, but I find it can leave some residue, So I just wipe it down with whatever rinse less I’m using, it’s never dirty.
Thank you my brother 💪. Glad you enjoyed the information. Yes rinseless washes is such an effective and easy way to maintain your vehicle for sure. I know the feeling 😂. I've practically tried every single rinseless out there myself!!. Some rinseless react different for certain temperatures.
Yeah express leaves a tad bit of residue if you use it straight. I've used mines diluted 1:1 if I need a bit of cut I go to rinseless as well. 💪😅
I might have to start considering DIY as a legit profuct brand, ill try their Gold Standard next.
Give it a go it's a great hybrid polish and compound. Does amazing work for 75-80% of your detailing needs same for OP Compound and 3D one. I prefer the spray version and it's easier to wipe off than 3D one
Nice video that captured what many detailers often wonder about "what's the best" at this & that. Your answer is perfect. There are so many that you have to decide what's best for you. If you like a product, performs well and is economical then stick with it until it's gone. Then try something new if you want. There will always be new products coming out so try what you want and don't stress over it.
Thank you. I'm very glad you enjoyed the video and captured the essence of the message portrayed. There are always new products coming out like you said and they always get slightly better, easier to use and effective. It's whatever works best for you 💪💪
Phil Miranda has a great explanation of how to handle the "ghosting" that you talk about with the NSP primers.
For sure! I spoke with Phil in one of the comment sections. The ghosting is fine you can coat right over it just at first it seems odd when it was first introduced. But now we understand it. But of course everything can always be improved 💪💪
Great informative video. Keep it up Soc.
Thank you my brother 💪💪
Appreciate your honesty about the products and thoughts about the environment that they work best in. 👍
Thank you 💪. Great to hear you enjoyed my thoughts and transparency on the products and of course subject. What do you enjoy using?
You haven’t washed your car in 6 weeks bro! lol love it
Was I lying though? 🤣🤣🤣. I got passionate there 😅
@@DetailingMadeSimple not a lie at all, something detailers probably think very often. Just enjoyed the passion…
@@Gary_Rigs 💪💪. Definitely a lot of us really think this often. It’s best to shed this light to those getting into detailing.
10000000% agree 👍🏻
I wish everyone would see this🤞
Appreciate you my brother. I'm glad you enjoyed the info 💪💪. I hope so too. 🙏
I’ll be knee deep in a detail during this time but I will definitely catch this one later!!
No worries 💪. Thank you for watching later on! This is practically a raw and uncut footage that wasn't supposed to happen at the end 😂😅. The original footage was supposed to end at 14 minutes. I recorded this about a week ago.
@@DetailingMadeSimplewhat I appreciate about you is how genuine you are…I appreciate the raw and uncut, no bs, no trying to impress a brand-just you doin’ you-you’re so knowledgeable….I learn so much from you! Question…have you ever tried Phoenix EoDs APC Kraken and their iron remover Furries….Furries smell is soooooo bearable-does not smell bad at all….both awesome products!!!!! and I TOTALLY AGREE on CGs Invisible…I feel that’s an APC that’s slept on
@@DetailsNMe thank you Kristi. I’m glad you appreciate the honesty and transparency. I just like to share things of what I accumulated throughout the years. That’s a product line I haven’t fully used was Phoenix EOD. I’ve only used Apex soap and Peleus. That’s why I haven’t spoke much about it. In terms of Furies I used at Eddie’s garage wasn’t the strongest iron remover the smell was okay like mint. I want to try the rest on EOD.
Definitely that CG Invisible is slept on for sure! And the gallon and half gallon are dilutable. No smell so you aren’t coughing and effective. One of the few gems CG has.
Soc a really awesome video!
I like the rankings here, and I like how you apply them to your business
Some excellent brands and products!
I wish you all the success to come this year!
Like and subscribe!!!
I appreciate you Sam. Thank you 💪. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. There are many quality brands out there just depends what works for you in your environment and how effective. We live in different worlds. The enthusiasts who wants to take 3 hours to detail their car a business who is built in efficiency whether is a mobile business or garage detailer will dictate what products are used and prefer.
Thank you on the blessings 💪🙏
Dam spitting that 🔥 in a quickness lol, appreciate you boss
Appreciate you my brother. I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Just speaking the truth 💪💪
Professor SOC holding class. Great job brother 👍 I appreciate your hard work 💪💪. Very informative. I use products that work, obviously that's what we all want, but just as important is the people behind what they sell. Integrity in a company is important to me as well. Just my thoughts on it.
Thank you Rick 💪. Of course that's with everything not just that the products are made with quality. But that work and like you stated very important. Is the people behind it. Which I forgot to include in the video. But it's how are their customer support? Is it good or great? How easily accessible they are for information and more the people behind it is what makes people choose and how one brand differentiates itself from the competitors 🫡
Great video!
Thank you. And thank you for providing quality products in the industry 💪
Thank you for all you do Soc
Thank you. 👍. I am glad you guys enjoy what I do for the detailing community 💪
Thank you so much for this man. I live in Florida and I want to see as much products for super high heat weather possible. If I can use it in July outside I'm buying it.
Yes I definitely understand your struggle summer time here reaches 98 degrees too hot to detail but in the shade outside using quality products help
This is the very first video I’ve seen of yours very impressive!
I love that you provided the appropriate context upfront in that way we can understand your preferences afterwards.
By the way, where do you get your Labocosmetica products from?

@@malachi2371 appreciate it. I like to be very transparent with my viewers when they ask about a specific brand they want to purchase from.
Excellent content.
Thank you 💪. Hopefully you found it very informative
Thanks for the shoutout! Subbed
Thank you for subscribing firstly. Thank you for giving quality out in the detailing world. 👍
@@DetailingMadeSimple lets get you set up with a coupon code for the site to share with your viewers!
@@ethoscarcare that’ll be great! Anything that saves for my subscribers and viewers is a huge plus. I just followed you on instagram.
I personally like p&s, Koch chemie, and sometimes chemical guys for only a few things, but I want to get more into Koch chemie
All brands you mentioned are reputable in the industry. Some of course works better than others and have better testing. P and S are good. Chemical guys like you said a small niche of things are great. It's just every 3 months they have a new product. They are more of a marketing brand that's how I feel. But they do have stuff that works great. Invisible, lightning fast, VRP, Mr Pink, C4 and P4 and that's about it really for me. Koch chemie is definitely a top brand haven't used much of their stuff but my fellow detailers use them religiously and I've played with some of their stuff it's fantastic. But too many products in their line up in terms of tiers everything is basic, stronger, strongest.
I see videos all the time, "what is the best ceramic?" "what is the best snow foam?" The best products are what works best for the individual detailer and makes their customers the happiest...its the detailer that makes the product do it's thing using the proper techniques for the environment. I personally use exclusively DIY Detail's line of products because thats what works best for how I detail, and what I and my customers expect from a finished vehicle. As far as what's safe for direct sunlight, its not what you use, it's HOW you use it. Same with working in a garage/shop. Experience is the #1 determining factor in what works. Every product can work in any environment if the person using them knows what they are doing to make it work.
Absolutely my brother you hit the nail right on the head. That's why I kept expressing what works for me and how I came to conclude which products works best for me 💪. My workflow is more like a mobile detailer when I wash the cars outside vs inside.
@@DetailingMadeSimple Thanks! I'm glad you didn't take my comment as a dig on you or your video or statements therein. I've been in this game for 30 years now and I've seen literally thousands of products come and go, and now with the advent of social media and youtube, its happening at such an accelerated rate, and there's so many new detailers entering the scene, and they all seem to want a shortcut to the top....unfortunately for them, there really isn't one. I could recommend my favorite products all day long, but until they have the experience to know how to use them, my recommendations are useless beyond maybe opening their eyes to something they hadn't seen yet.
@@DiamondShineDetail non at all my brother. Look there is no right way or wrong from what I'm experiencing on doing certain things. As long as the outcome is the same. Some processes take longer or shorter time. I'm sure with your experience companies come and go and same as detailing methods. It's up to the individual and what they feel works best for them. 💪💪
I agree. I use a different company for almost every item lol. I don’t think I have more than two items from the same company.
Exactly. They can have a quality line up. But certain products from different brands work better than others depending on what you are using it for and environment
Hi there Soc, great vid, if I can advice on one thing is that I think you need to Amp up your volume on the rec, it's kinda low :) Otherwise a cool informative one as usual! About products I don't see Gyeon love here and I wonder why, I used them outside and they work fine, but I guess Thats subjective, and my input on mohs is to apply it without skin (skin sucks and is super tacky and dissappears too fast to be a durable top coat and is a pain to work with generally) it flashes fast but when I work with coatings I do panel by panel and Mohs on its own Is a pleasure to work with outside or inside, you can layer it (but you don't need to) it goes on thick but wiping it is super easy, and destroys most of the coatings in terms of durability, one thing people complain is that it's clogging fast, didn't see that personally but.. Cheers dude!
Hey Victor. Thanks for the feedback. Yes I think since then I have adjusted the gain on my microphone. Also for Gyeon I've used gyeon some of their products are great but overall as a brand I hadn't had the best first impressions and success with them. In terms of becoming a certified installer was denied. Also to be ask to purchase 5k in products to get a wholesale discount and wait until their is a certified installer available.
@@DetailingMadeSimple Oh man i see thats crazy - there is a lot i didn't know about their company politics, that kinda sucks and i understand - some products can be good for some ppl some are not, but still a great informative video with a lot of insight in the subject, thank you Soc and keep it up bro!
I only have one car, and i use Stjarnagloss line with a smattering with P&S Absolute in winter,and i'm going to try Labocosmetica 2PH line for my interior Glico and Ductile.
Yes having one car I recommend use up what you have and then venture off to the Labo 2ph. It’s a very simple and effective duo.
@@DetailingMadeSimple I use Stjarnagloss as my usual line, i already have both brushes and Glico, i was so impressed with a video i saw Reggy use on his channel, and how he dusted seats and using Glico and Ductile, that i want to try that system in my 15 year old car, it's seats aren't too bad, because i keep it clean, but i know that it probably has tons of dust in the fabric and wouldn't hurt to do a deep clean.Because i'm not a business, it's just me wanting to have a clean car i try to stick to simple well worth it products.
good video
Thank you my brother. Glad you enjoyed the video bro 💪
Great video. Do u use rinseless wash on the inside of glass and windshield?
Thank you. Yes you can use rinseless wash for the glass inside and out. Specially without and protection. Like DIY Rinseless, Eco wash or drive automotive appearance, Hydra, Absolute, Oberk list goes on just one with no protection because you don’t want to put it inside the glass and windshields as in winter and morning dew weather you’ll get fogging and condensation inside you vehicles glass which you don’t want. 👍
I'm in N.H. and i have no garage, so i have to pick when the weather is good to do my washes or any other maintenance.
Yes N.H similar weather as myself here in NY. I know the feeling 😅😅
Appreciate the honesty, but you highlighted the issue with ceramic coatings. If you wash your car once every 2 months, it should still work. You shouldn't HAVE to do shit tons of work to make something last that's supposed to be a good product. Btw, yes, knock waterless washes that aren't dilutable. It's freaking stupid to pay 15 bucks on a bottle that you'll get 2 uses from. Then they charge $$$ for a gallon. At least P&S has gallons for a reasonable price. (Just ordered the Maniac to try)
For sure. But at the end of the day neglect is neglect. No two people lives are the same on how they care for their coatings. Same way two people can buy the same exact vehicle and models and years. In 2 months you have 2,000 miles and did your oil change the other can have 5,000 and hasn’t done an oil change. One will wear down quicker. The key point is maintenance. Ease of cleaning, and longer durable protection.
Yes waterless washes should be affordable or dilutable. 💪💪 you’ll enjoy the maniac one. Thank you for watching the video glad you enjoyed it.
Very informative, thank you for your work. I have been using DIY All Clean and 15:1 and it's not working well as a pre rinse. Majority of bugs don't come off and there are these little yellow specs that I have to use a clay towel to remove it and it ads like 15 mins to my washes. You mentioned labo but which 1 of the 3 is better for single step pre rinse or what apc might work better? Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video. I really enjoy Labo primus 2.0 at a 1:5 in a foam cannon. If you use that man that literally takes care of 90% of bugs dirt and grime easily. So me that's the best pre rinse in the game and safer than APC.
Awesome thank you, will look into it. And you said it can be used in direct sunlight? What's the longest you'd leave it?
@@ang2202 all depends honestly use your discretion. Anything over 85 I don’t like to let sit more than 5 minutes because at that point the soap not doing much work as it’s drying on the paint.
You couldn’t have said it better. I have my gems as well. Griots fast correcting cream has been my longest product of use 8years.
You have been very helpful in my process. I currently use BC3 as detailer gloss/speed wax/drying aid how we all used bead maker or XS topper. Any recommendations there as it would be the only product I’m ordering from there. (With budget in mind can’t do $300 a gallon)
Thank you! Yes we all have our gems for sure. Xtreme Solutions topper I preferred over bead maker any day.
When you mean recommendations. For what specific product or products? The only $300 a gallon is ceramic detailer from OP. I agree that's not needed as most drying aids or ceramic sealants are great quality. $300 for it is a stretch even for myself. As I've used one on my client car holding strong in November but definitely I think it has failed this winter
It was a recommendation for a ceramic detailer/topper that is pretty versatile in mobile.. Last season I used.
1. Blue collar 3- in place of XS topper
2. Griots 3n1 ceramic- my spray wax.
3. Nanoskin non acid my wheel cleaner
4. Drive hybrid- will be my rinseless
5. My neutral soap P&S Pearl- im still testing labo semper
6. I love Carpro reset- labo primus and semper might edge it out
7. dressing/tires- Carpro Perl
You tried Adams iron remover it’s great product great price for a gallon
Yes I have used Adams Iron remover in the past. It's a very good iron remover as well. 💪. Detail groove used it Oscar and I used it back then when I saw his vids
What is the difference between last cut and last cut plus? Can they both be used with out taping off trim? Appreciate your help.
The last cut + is much more aggressive than the original and to be honest I the last cut + I only suggest on harder clears only and I would suggest to tape trim with it
Have you tried turtle wax rapid decon iron remover? Or if you have, have you tried it with the clay towel? Does it have good lubrication?
Hey Mason yes I have tried it lubrication is good not where I want it to be. Has great foaming capabilities smell is super strong. I enjoy their hybrid solutions line up
Thank you for this. I’m gonna get the diy detail iron remover knowing it has better lubrication and seems to work better. My local autozone has rapid decon but didn’t know if it would work well for claying. Just subscribed as well. Great content
@@masonreever731 anytime. Glad I can help. One thing to know the DIY one smell is stronger than the turtle wax one. Also thank you very much for subscribing. Hopefully you enjoy the content 💪. Both iron removers stink bad! But DIY has better lubrication in my experience and glides better with clay towels and clay mitts. 👍
Have you tried the Glare product line, some pretty bold claims from them about their Glassplexin.
I’ve never tried the glare product line I will have to take a look and do some research
What's the difference between pH neutral and pH balanced? Balanced in relation to what?
PH and Cleaning abilities. Of 90% of PH neutral and balanced chemicals I can go down the rabbit hole. But balanced soaps cleans a lot better than neutral soaps in terms of traffic film and cleaning especially in direct sunlight. As PH balanced soaps are not PH Nuetral "7PH" they are around 8 or 8.5 rare instances 9ph depending on the brand and soap. These slightly more alkaline soap help clean more the paint and grime better than a PH Nuetral soap.
@@DetailingMadeSimpleok so you're saying 8 - 8.5 on the pH scale is considered balanced? What about a "balanced" pH soap at 9-11ph?. That's not balanced either? When does the "balanced" scale become alkaline based?
@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343 if you want to be very technical PH Neutral is 7ph only. And anything past 7 is basic "alkaline and Acidic is below" but for a lack of a better term we say balanced as for most people we can explain it's just as safe as ph neutral soap but is a bit more alkaline for cleaning power. Yes 9ph we are really in the alkaline and reaching high alkalinity but that's why I say rare cases as the soaps are at that ph but once diluted in a body of water in varies on either the mineral content in your water or not and can go down to a PH of 8. Let's not get all super technical as most people don't look for this. 🫡
@@DetailingMadeSimple well to get technical so you understand what you're trying to teach others. We need to understand what "balance" really means. In order for a chemical or even say a soap or even a medication to be balanced we need to know the pH of what we're trying to treat. Let's say leather has a pH of 6 we would want to use a cleaner at pH of 6. We now have a "balance". Hopefully that helps
@@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343 I understand. I get your point. 👍 the technicality makes understanding better for sure. Better to say not a strong alkaline cleaner

You're truly awesome for this thank you for watching the entire video and also making the notes for everyone to see 💪💪
Last!!!
I appreciate you tuning in 💪🫡
3rd
Let’s get it 💪💪. Some people may be upset 😅. But honesty is my game and what works for me.
@@DetailingMadeSimple appreciate your honesty!!!
@@ThisOldDetailingDude 💪🙏💪
After watching your video, it looks like per your recommendations. You could just buy all DIY projects and be done.
Yes as of right now it’s a great start up with a complete line up! Very easy to use as well too! Each product line has their Gems. I’ll be making a video soon on my perfect line up. Where I’ll mix and match different brands making my perfect line up.
But the fact maniac has one one and it works and is such value for your money shouldnt my hard earned money go thare and force others to compete ?
I never said you shouldn't. I think of detailing products like people and food. Some people either want to pay for the food aka ready to use or dilute them aka make it themselves. Shouldn't your hard earn money always go to groceries and not take out?
I stated in the video there are product lines people prefer what do they need or want. Dilutable products. Ready to use. Effective in the elements or in garage setting etc. 💪💪
@@DetailingMadeSimple it's a water less wash I would hope you can use it any whare if you want diy or any one else to compete gotta make umm hurt whare it counts and it's always in sales
@@om3973 that is facts. No discussion there. But waterless wash is a very niche market anyways. I barely use it and if I do it’s in the door jambs or winter time. Which I explained terms of value maniac wins as it’s dilutable. If DIY wants to compete I hope they make a gallon form RTU at an affordable cost to where it competes in the price point of maniac as maniac only sell in 1 litre. without having to dilute in a gallon at practically the same price point will make it competitive . Bunch of ways to be competitive for sure.
First!!
Appreciate you Humberto 💪💪
ive spent wayyyy too much money on detailing stuff
Haven't we all. But there are gems to pick and choose from every brand!!! 🫡
Not having Meguiar’s as the overall best brand is bonkers
Meguiars make quality products. I will say this on why I say they are not the overall best brand for detailers or enthusiasts starting out. Hopefully this clears alot of stuff.
First way too many options for car detailing products it is confusing for the detailer/consumer they have 7 different wheel cleaners and specifically one has been discontinued recently so let's say 6. Have a wheel cleaner made specifically for gloss black rims. Hot shine wheel and tire cleaner. Have a total wheel, chrome wheel cleaner, aluminum wheel cleaner and Non acid wheel cleaner. Of course the recently discontinued acid wheel cleaner. Why are my clear coated gray rims different from my black ones? Also to pair with that 9 different tire dressings. 5 car shampoos and soaps. And one isn't even a high alkaline it's like 3 wash and wax. One ceramic wash and gold class.The list goes on. It's not that they don't make quality stuff just certain things are redundant or repetitive with no real innovation that sets them apart.
My main goal was someone being introduced to a line up. And is like here it is you have full 12 items to do your entire vehicle that's their entire line up. From washing to decontamination and coating your vehicle if need be. As a new detailer/consumer it's overwhelming seeing 9 wheel cleaners and 9 tire dressings, 4 compounds and 4 different polishes and so on. Now once you're an experienced detailer you can confidently pick and choose and know what to go with.
Hopefully this made sense and can see my viewpoint. That's why to me is not the overall best brand due to having wayyy too many options that will confuse any new detailer/DIYer or Consumer.
@@DetailingMadeSimple I will 100 percent agree with you on the overlap especially on the consumer side. However I don’t think there is a brand that has as deep of a product line as Meguiar’s. They are like a vacuum and pressure washer away from being able to outfit your entire arsenal in only meguiars products. I don’t think any other brand can say that. I say that completely un biased, I don’t use specifically meguiars products, there are plenty of other products who focus on one or a few items and do it better, invisible glass for example.
You’re literally explaining your shortcuts… it’s one thing if your pumpen out cars…but your a detailer, you should take pride in your work, on or off camera…? Period. You did a good job not being super specific…other times…? Like ceracote.. they specifically tell you to let it cure for atleast 24hrs…. Sorry wouldn’t trust this “Detailer”🤟
Bro. Don't be a bozo and make assumptions we don't have to agree. Just because someone does more hours doesn't mean you did a better job. Efficiency doesn't mean cutting corners. I take pride in my work. Where are the shortcuts that I stated in the video? State the facts and let's discuss. Cerakote. Literally says the vehicle can get driven after 2 hours. Have you watched my Cerakote video? I literally didn't drive it for 18 hours it was in my garage and the next day no rain on the floor everything dry just a nice day and I drove off.
I'm fine with opinions and always open. But state facts and watch videos and speak up on it. Don't be one of those people who just comments without facts. I base my details based on the clients budget not pride! If I mess up on things I am always open to it and I will admit it. But to say someone doesn't take pride is wild to me. 👍
Bro dont be out here lying
About what? 🤥🧐 What I like?
@@DetailingMadeSimple trolling bro stop being emotional
Haha 😂 I’m
Heading to church I’ll catch this when I get back
@@Ecdetails I'm not being emotional. 😂. I really think you're going to like and enjoy the video and most of the things I say here. It's a long one so if you make it back in time from church it may still be running it's 50 min long
Don't tell me you spent THIRTY dollars and you're happy..... Because if you are it has to be the $30 shirt 😎🤣🤣🤣
