IMJOSHV - Car Detailing and Reconditioning Tips

Күн бұрын

What products do you need to detail your car? It seems like there are a million car detailing product brands, and each brand has an abundance of products. So how do you sort through all of the noise? I put this video together to cut through all of the marketing that brands put out, and offer a simplified solution on what you actually need. You don't need 50 different products. In fact you really only need a handful of products that you love and are confident in to get the best results. ENJOY!!!

I found out the hard way that glaze is glaze, wax is wax. If you are able to correct a car the right way, you don't need very much glaze. It is like make up foundation, covers small imperfections. And I highly doubt that you can tell the difference between one wax and designer wax. While Adams products are good, they are a little expensive. Meguiar's is owned by 3M.

Love the videos brother! Yesterday was my first opportunity to use your recommended setup with the Ryobi 1600 psi, quick connects, uberflex hose, MJJC foam cannon and Mckillans gun with swivel that were purchased thru your KZfaq links! Man everything was beyond my expectations! Foam cannon created insanely amount of foam, pretty much too much lol. I’m sure I’ll purchase more things from this video to keep my black 21 Tundra TRD PRO looking it’s best with your suggested products!Thanks again!!

One suggestion is I would like a quick video of what you think and what could be the appropriate uses of the California car duster. Also, how to safely clean a car that just has a light dust on it. Thanks!!

Your videos are so great man. A thing that you have never mentioned, as far as I can recall, is which kind of bottles do you use to put the chemicals in. Because I know that you can't just dump them in any bottle with any trigger system. Specially the more acidic ones. Would you mind giving me a brief answer on that? Appreciate it my man. And keep on with the good informative videos. Thank you Sir!

Meguires Hyper dressing replaced all my interior dressings, tire dressings and engine bay dressings with different dilutions. P&S wheel and tire cleaner, and Invisable glass just about does it for me. I love your videos. Keep up the good work

@glenf4115 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Michael - try 3D One, you will never use anything else. I started using One 12 years ago when it was called "Uno Polish". When it ran out I could no longer find Uno - so I ordered blackfire and speed as I assumed one of them was Uno's replacement but they definitely were not. Contacting 3D asking for whatever replaced "Uno" and they sent me "One" and it is 100% the new name for Uno Polish.

@Kelden Dance I use their 3D 5.5” gray polishing pad. Afterwards I maintain by washing with a boars hair brush on an extendable handle and griots 3 in 1 spray wax (green spray bottle) spray it on the drying towel and it waxes as you dry off.
