Just to note- always take off ALL metal rings and watches. Ivan is a G, but I have personally witnessed a detailer prepping a Ford GT at Barrett Jackson have his towel get caught on something and his hand over compensated which lead to a huge scraaaaaatch…

At first I thought "what do you mean, you're not going to show me" when I skimmed the chapter previews. Then I listened, and this was actually a really good video. Thanks for not feeling compelled to mix in a bunch of dumb sound effects and unnecessary transitions, etc. - and for staying on-point, just presenting useful information. This is legit quality content. :D

It’s a head scratcher to me how one can do an entire car in 30 minutes when just getting the dirt out from the spokes in the wheels takes that long…not even talking about the barrels… if you have a video that tackles tires / wheel wells and wheels with lots of spokes that you can knock out in less than 30 minutes I will definitely like and comment! Thanks for sharing!

Today I applied C6 Hydro to my Tesla, and all I have to say is. Bud, this should have taken me 2 days to do like the last time when I bought the car new. It took 6 hours by myself from start to finish. Pretreat, wash, Decon, dry, polish, IPA, APP, then C6 Applied. This is the most slickest Ceramic Coating I have ever seen. Tonight the Interior when it cools down. Can’t wait to see what the industrial application will do. And Yvan, To Date you have the hottest Ceramic Coating on the market to date. Don’t change a thing, just keep it up. You have a Client for life.

Yeah. In a way, I was let go as shop lead because my GM didn't want to raise our prices for exteriors. He's gonna go back to waxing cars with dirt still on them. The shops days have to be numbered at this point. Yvan, if it was any possibility, I'd come work for you, but I don't live anywhere near your location.
