@@jimmyallen3850 Man im so glad i seen this comment...im also in FL and just finished getting everything ready to start mobile detailing and i have to say, the heat here has me worried, so i am interested in the product you mentioned and is it used just like any other drying aid?
Nice one! 😎 I work alone and I make sure to rinse the panels facing the Sun last and dry them right away. After the glass, that is. That way the water stays on those hot surfaces the shortest amount of time and I rarely get water spots. That works for me at 57 degrees North but may not work for everyone.
Great to see you guys trying to detail a big black truck in the hot sun while I’m up here in Canada waiting for our season to start up again. Believe me bro winter is long for a detailer. Bye the way, great video as always. But ya left out my favourite part, Wheels & Tires. Just kiddin, I just thought that when there that big, ya know.
I love meguiar's last touch D155, as a clay lubricant (or M34), and D156 x-press spray wax, it's madness as a topper for coating, hydrophobicity, darkening, shine ..!. Great job Phil! 👍 👍 👍
Haven’t had a chance to use my wireless SPTA DA polisher yet, but, I’m impressed with the results that you have achieved on your videos. On hot days I pull the car into the garage late after sunset. Carpro eraser works on glass. Thank you for your pointers.
Phil awesome job looks great great tutorial for new comers and mobile detailers that do this on a daily basis awesome job as always be safe god bless William from extreme optimum auto detailing pr
Truck came out awesome! But Phil, please please please be careful in that sun. I know it probably wouldn't work with the headset Go Pro, but a lifeguard style straw hat would help you out tremendously and protect you from that blazing sun. Awesome content as usual, keep it up!
Thanks! Oh yeah I know. I do have a large brim hat I sometimes use on really brutal days. Plus coconut water is a MUST!! Lots of sun screen also helps. 😁😎👍🏼
Good Morning Miranda Detailing (Phil and Wife). That Black Chevy Truck looks awesome after the Detail. Keep those tips and videos coming. And keep that dog away from that wheel.
Seatbelts are very difficult to clean and they don’t always come out that great. I usually just use the same cleaners as everything else. But after doing some research over saturating seatbelts can actually degrade the material and it could be a liability/safety issue for customers. I lightly clean them and if they don’t clean up I don’t go any further.
Deionized water is a must for me even in the shade. My water reads around 430 ppm. If any water drops dry you can easily tell especially in my black cars. It’s also a real pain to remove them.
Wow I got 3 full bottles of that meguiars paint protection I been having it in my supplies crate almost two years I brought it from Dollar Tree a buck each I never seen it in stores since then now I know what to use it for Thanks
Plenty of drying sprays that help when washing in direct sunlight. When working on black paint. I don’t have a problem where any black paint is damaged from water spot. If you have any it removes with just spray wax or glass cleaner.
Great job .. what I use is wash & wax soap from 3D & Original clay magic 3D Speed technicians choice spray wax Chemical guys windows cleaner for the water I use the $20 Rv filter from Walmart
Phil, something I have been experimenting is mixing some shampoo with ONR, since ONR can be used on hot sun besides lifting dirt prior using the shampoo and dries without leaving water spots. I have been using it now with the shampoo to try it since I work alone 🤷🏾♂️👍🇵🇷
@@MirandaDetailing I have been doing that whenever I do a mobile job at some of my elderly customers who don't drive that far to where I live. Doing it under the Caribbean sun all dries quickly so that trick has been doing better for me.
aww Phil, i'm sitting here in the polar north Scotland, wishing i was there helping (I have the new AM Hybrid range to test out on my Outback (car currently buried ❄❄❄)!!! Won't see the yellow ball of heat for another 3 months yet! 😎 Hope you both had plenty beer/whisky breaks, keep your fluids topped up. 🍺🍺🥃🥃
Being that the tap water at house has a TDS of about 460 I'm going to rain harvesting. Rain water has a TDS about 60-70 where I live and snow has a TDS of only 7. I installed two rain barrels at my house and a 275 gallon water tote in my garage to collect rain water.
In your opinion, is it essential to go through training before using a polisher for the first time? Obviously not to use it for anything too intrusive, just a simple polish. Curious to hear your thoughts?
Hi. No it’s not absolutely needed. That’s up to each person. I learned on my own but it took a while. Training is great if you want to fast track yourself and learn faster. I think each person has to consider what’s best for them.
Hi. Using a polisher with a soft pad will quickly and gently apply any wax or sealant on the paint better than anyone could by hand. It doesn’t damage the paint in any way. This is an example ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bpw8Wr9fv58.html
Our water in Florida is SO hard. I have to use DI water in direct sunlight. I learned the hard way one time and a 2 hour detail turned in 4 because I was chasing the water spots out spoke about.
Yeah it does depend on what water you’re dealing with. Have you tried using ONR in your shampoo to help with water spots? Also did machine applying protection like a wax or sealant help remove those fresh water spots? Sometimes I do get spots but since they are fresh they come right off when machine applying protection.
@@MirandaDetailing I have not, but I just saw it suggested in the comments and I am going to try it. Love ONR by itself so I'm honestly excited to give it a go! Also yes. I had to whip out the SPTA to remove the water spots as they were just not coming off any other way. You live and you learn though lol
@miranda detailing... I am not a fan of ONR used it and didn’t like it. I have tried many other rinseless wash Solutions and the water is way to hard. Plus direct sunlight in Florida at 95 degrees the water evaporate so fast.
@@barrycook8116 I have the same issue. Here are some tips: I use distilled water, purchased at any grocery store, and mix that in a spray bottle with ONR. Zero water spots. I also have a filter on my shower head. So I use a 5gal bucket with a screw top lid and fill it up using the filtered shower head. It's not perfect, but it does reduce water spots about 90%. You could also fill the bucket with distilled water but it would cost about 5 bucks to fill the bucket so not sure if its worth it. ONR in direct sunlight does dry super fast. But using distilled water I don't get spots, just streaking. However this can be easily corrected by spraying some more ONR on the streaks. Hope this helps.
Hi! So we are now located in Chesterfield. We have phased out our mobile services this year and now have a garage/shop at our home were customers drop their vehicles off for the day. Our full exterior Paint Protection Service for trucks starts at $175. Feel free to visit our website for more info www.mirandadetailing.com
Keep it wet until you finish washing the vehicle. Then us spray wax on everything or Onr detail mix. It will give you time to dry. Or just do last rinse with onr in your water. Good luck!
Good point. Keeping it wet is exactly what we do. At least we don’t have to worry about hard water here. But for others that’s a great tip! Thanks for sharing.
Hi. I have talked to some people who got the Adams instead and said it’s nice. But they can’t source batteries for it and Adam’s won’t sell them batteries separately, that makes a huge difference in my decision.
Hi Yeah they do sound a little different then the refined Rupes Polishers, I have heard of guys opening up the head and replacing the grease for the gears. That may help it thats a concern.
Is it really noticeable? I hear noice with all my machines but I guess I get used to it. If it’s something you are concerned about I would return it and get another one and see if it’s just the way it sounds or if it’s a defect.
Well when mobile you just have to deal with things like that. But unless we are polishing that’s not an issue. We work quickly and if it’s super dusty then we can just use the air compressor to blow of some dust. Honestly we never have a problem with blowing dust. As you can see the paint is not in perfect condition and this is a farm vehicle. So any potential marring isn’t even a concern here. If this was a fancy sports vehicle that would be different....but then again we wouldn’t detail an expensive vehicle in conditions like this, unless again the owner didn’t care. 😎👍🏼
Hi. You could, but the clay mitt process leaves some marring on the paint that we just want to leave. So we machine apply the sealant and the mechanical action of the polisher and pad eliminate the marring.
@@mram7715 Oh I see. Nope. That doesn't happen. Same goes with a cold windhsields and hot water. Windhshields only crack like that if they already had a compromised area around the edges. but i ave never had one crack like that.
I gotta ask...u like last touch? I used it at a dealership I worked at and thought it wasnt much more than straight water. And I haven't seen any videos on it them again I never searched for them yet either. I coulda been doing things wrong too
So here's a question...how come you don't buy and use of those portable tents (similar to what you might see at a car show) so you don't have to detail in the direct sunlight?
Well I do have canopies but they are not big enough to fit large trucks like this. Sometimes a canopy is just not advantageous. In small driveways and such I can’t even fit canopies. So we adapt and learn how to work in the sun
Hi. This was my older pressure washer setup that I’m using in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eXKhb0NJBpk.html But now we have a new setup ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gGsuCZl_kHg.html
I have found RV water filters on the hose prior to your pressure washer cuts way down on water spotting issues,gives you more time in the sun.takes most of the minerals out.fairly inexpensive,a pair maybe 40.00$ screw on to a hose faucet.if your a detailer ,unscrew it take it with you.my 2 cents.i need a chordless da.phil recomendation? Battery life,da comes with 2 batteries .power.? Amazon reviews( take them with a grain of salt) on the spta seem to lay in to short battery life,difficulty in getting xtra batteries and quoted power vs. real life and speed controller.thoughts?
Hi! I forgot to mention that RV filter, I used to use one, but then I found it didn't make a difference for us. But that's awesome that it DOES actually work for you to help with water spots! I have to say the SPTA cordless is awesome. Batteries are not difficult to come by anymore, I bought these amzn.to/2NmR4qE and this charger amzn.to/374SmxU. You can buy either the official Makita Batteries or the after-market ones, its your choice. But I haven't had any problems with the aftermarket ones, Battery life is dependant on how much usage at different speeds. If you multiple batteries and chargers like we do, I never worry about it anymore.
@@MirandaDetailing i have a maxshine 8mm that i bought as a beginner but now i realize the limitations as far as time and inconvience as far as chords hassles.no serious paint correction needed on our vehicles now just a yearly polish.a jeep( dark green,05 and a Ram black with flake 2015)...worth the money for yrly mntnce? Thanks ,love your vids,so helpful no info overloads.scratch Mr.for us.😚
Having cordless has been a game changer! We even use them for paint correction, they are that powerful! But as an affordable cordless 15mm polisher at that price....can't beat it! I would definitely recommend it. Oh and our beloved Mister pass away this past June 😪
@@MirandaDetailing oh,...i am so sorry.we loved our lab ozzy so much,good friend great hunting dog just havent had the heart to get a new pup probably wont get one.i,m sorry...
I was wondering do you think it’s effective to have an extra bottle of water just to spray spots where there are a few water spots and wipe with another clean microfiber towel?
whats the temp? I am in southern utah (near Las Vegas) where it is super hot...100+ in the summer and dry. in the summer it doesn't get down below 90 even in the middle of the night.
@@MirandaDetailing so it's safe then huh? Good to know. Been working on building a side gig of mobile detailing here. My first regular is a black dodge ram and I've been wondering how to make it work as it heats up
Well it's no walk in the park. 😓 but it can be done. Sometimes we just have no choice. We would rather they drop their vehicle off at our garage now, but when we need to be mobile this is how we do it.
It’s not bad at all, we don’t use a DI system or another thing. We have never had issues with out water. Our new place has a whole house sediment filter for our well.
Well as we demonstrated in the video we used our DAp polisher to apply the sealant. The mechanical action of the polisher will remove the minor marring from the clay bar or mitt. I would just apply a spray product without at least doing a very light polish to remove the marring.
Oh I see. Yeah it can be done in extreme heat. It just may take longer. We have done it before in 100 degree weather. We just worked in sections and kept the pant wet.
It depends on how the vehicle is maintained. Usually up to 6 months. But if not washed correctly with good soaps or brought through tunnel washes maybe 3 months.
Hi. Oh yeah it is. We used to use it a lot. I just love trying out new stuff so we always try to showcase different products. But Jescar is still amazing!
Hi. So we have never had major issues with the APC or soap drying on the paint. If it does we just reactivate it with water while rinsing. Sometimes if it does dry and causes some streaks they will come out easily with a light polish.
