DETAILING Q&A: Cleaning the Family Toyota while Answering Questions

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to another Q&A Thursday.

I am not Dane Hennan. I am Gabe Garcia, filling in for Dane as he gets his deck projects. Well, done,

if you know what I mean. Yeah, I know Kathy Bates still has him trapped. Trapped in his own home.

He has been taken and he's currently needing help while he's stuck up there on the house on

Hennan Hill. So, Dane is off in the ether, but welcome back to Q&A Thursday. In the middle there,

Gabe Garcia taking over for Dane. And we got Anthony Fisher to my left. You have me. And then you've

got Miss Sydney Brighlin. Sydney Brighlin. And as always, for a detail today, we've got the one,

the only, Full Send Lucas. Not Full Send Lucas, but I'm back guys. And I'm actually excited for

today's detail. And we did Lucas dirty last detail. And that was possibly one of the funniest Q&A

we've had in a long time. It felt like the old days. I cannot stop laughing. Somebody put in the

comments was Gabe drunk. Yeah, I mean, it was questionable. And here we are now, back again,

with not necessarily a car that needs an exterior dressing on everything. No, no, it's pretty,

it's pretty well set. So why don't we just see you guys all now. Yeah, you needed Friday off,

right? So Lucas, talk us through what do we have right there behind you? So what we got here,

good old fashioned Honda. So what we've been doing all day, Honda, is it not a Honda? I didn't even

look. Oh, it's a Toyota, my fault. So we got a Toyota haven't been paying attention. So for the

whole day, we basically been getting a prepped hood got resprayed last year. So we've wet sanded

that. So we're going to basically do like a three step process to get that out. So everything's

pretty much been prepped for the most part. So a couple of things that we're still going to bang

out is we still need to polish up some of the trim, polish up the hood, polish up this rear

quarter back here. And then I think a couple of things on the trunk we're going to touch up. And

then from there, we're just going to go through and get this whole thing coded, the trim, the glass,

and the paint. Nice. I'm excited. I'm looking forward to it. It's already looking really good.

Yeah, it's going to look great. So talk us through the products that you have right there.

So what we got is for the heavy cut. So we have some polishers down here. We got a rotary, a DA,

another DA somewhere. Got heavy cut for the first pass. And then we got some rehab for

a second step on the hood. And then I just realized I don't have it here, but I'm using therapy for

our finishing steps. I'm not going to go grab that here in a sec. Buff and shine pads,

edges, three, six, fives for the compound, some panel prep from armor with some FTWs,

variety of applicators, towels, got some ripping rags for the coating, some eagle ledges. It

should be a good time. You've got a lot of stuff and you've got a lot of stuff.

The tires, you're going to put, you said you're going to put ghost on the tires.

We're going to put ghost on them. They have been prepped with Ulex beforehand, and that is a very

important step if you're going to apply ghost. So that'll ensure the most longevity out of the

product. Well, we're excited and we are, I hope you're excited. We're not going to say much.

We're just going to compliment you on all the great things that you do, Lucas.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Hey, I can't believe it's Thursday already. Man, this last week flew

by pretty quick, it seems like, you know, and so somehow I was convinced to be back in here.

You know what I mean? Yeah, I was just surprised you showed back up. So that's awesome.

That is therapy. Get going. That is 100% true. So a little bit of housekeeping right now, right?

A little bit of housekeeping, a little bit of house cleaning. So here at the RAG company,

we are coming up on a little over six weeks away from one of the most fun online

detailing events of the year. TRCM Freakin' A. Gabriel.

Oh yeah, sorry. Excuse me. Water down the wrong tube. Yes. What is the RAG company

media access? What is TRCMA? So if you guys want an opportunity to ask questions from your

favorite companies, this is your opportunity. So TRCMA is a show that we designed six years ago

specifically to allow anyone to ask questions. You know, we have CMA, we have MTE, we have all

these different events where detailers and companies can basically debut new products.

But the issue is not everybody can make them and this is an opportunity essentially for you guys

to go ahead and see the new products, ask about the new products, watch the products in demo.

So that's what's going to be really cool. The dates for that are March 30th through April 2nd,

right here on the RAG company YouTube channel. So you're going to want to make sure that you're

there, you're watching and yeah, make sure you follow us because it's going to be a really

awesome event. We got a lot of cool brands, a lot of cool products. We even have a couple

new brands coming. So you're not going to want to miss this. Yeah. Yeah, pretty excited. I think it

was pretty good. Yeah, thank you. That was a solid six out of ten. Wow, thank you. That's

still 60% passing. I'll take it. Yeah, it is. As a former teacher, you know, right? D's get

degree, wait. Yeah, they do. C's. No, D's also get degrees. You can't actually, can you actually

have a serious question? So high school nowadays, right? What is the minimum GPA you need to pass?

Is it 2.5 still? I believe so. I think it might even be 2.0, honestly. Really? I feel like it's

pretty low. Yeah. Yeah, you want to know a fun fact too? Yeah. So unlike when we went to high

school where if you didn't turn in an assignment or anything like that, you get a flat out of zero

or you missed the deadline, there's no going back. Nowadays, kids, if they don't turn in an assignment,

they still get 50% and then they have until the end of the semester to turn in their assignments

and get full credit for it. And if you fail a test, you can just keep retaking it. As many times

as you want. You can retake it as many times as you want. And you have instant access to your

grades. Remember when we were kids and we had to wait for our report card or progress report to

come in the mail? Like you see it every single day. I'm not kidding. It's crazy. There's no reason

to fail anymore. This took into effect around 2019, I want to say. Yeah, it's crazy. And as a

teacher, it's tough because I wish they could zoom in on Anthony's face right now. It's crazy.

And I'm not making this up. This is facts. Yeah, this is just high school. This is high school.

So you're telling me there is absolutely no excuse on why

any child should fail, should not be a straight A student. Yeah. Technically correct. If you can

just try everything, read everything as often as you would like. Yeah. Yeah. And parents have it

on like every time a grade puts it in the phone, in the book, like I get a text message on my phone.

Every time Tristan is tardy or absent, I get a text and a phone call. Like there's no room for

error here. There's no room for error. Yeah. It's literally you're setting up kids for success

as much as possible. But when it comes to college, that's where. But then you're straight A's. There's

no excuse to not be a straight A student and then you can get into any college you want because

that's what they're basing it off of is your GPA. Yeah. Yeah. I mean GPA and then obviously your

what else? Your ACT. I think it's ACT. So your ACT and then your letter, whatever it is,

you know whatever. No, your letter, your application, right? Yeah. Yeah. So. Man. Yeah. That's pretty

nice. Yeah. Pretty different. Pretty different. So Tristan, straight A student then. Oh no.

Oh no. Delaney was. Delaney was like 4.5. Wow. She still has a sophomore in college. Oh no.

Again, I'm a 4.5. Yeah. That's a possibility of 4.0 is that. Yeah.

They're like doing always above and beyond. Yeah. If you do honors or if you do

AP classes, honors. Yeah. And the cool thing is some of the high schools I know in the

Boise School District, they are making it so that when you graduate, you can graduate now

with your associates. Yeah. That's what they're working towards. Yeah. Delaney like left high

school with like nine college credits or something crazy because she took all AP and

honor classes. Yeah. It's crazy. So no, Tristan, he's running around to BC, but he's starting

to worry more. But yeah, it's pretty nuts. Yeah. And my favorite thing is when you say,

why do you have a D? And he'll say, my teacher just hasn't put my assignments in yet. That's

like the thing, like they just haven't put my assignments in yet. Yeah. They just haven't updated

the grade book. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. So anyways, part of the housekeeping. Change of grades.

Change of grades. Yeah. Well, so we had the Valentine's Day sale,

which has ended now. And so hopefully everybody stocked up on some amazing detailing products,

whether you picked up some Hero or they have a 22 combo, maybe some of the ADS essentials and

stuff like that. 20% off of ADS as well, which was awesome. So awesome sale. Hopefully you had a

great Valentine's Day, right? Maybe you surprised your loved one with something special. What's

kind of go around the table here? I mean, Sid, what did you give and what did you get?

Oh, what did I give? So I had a theme this year. And we do Valentine's for our kids too. So I went

and got everybody like really nice cologne perfumes, made them with a basket with candy,

energy drinks, you know, like a Lonnie's for Delaney, the liquid death for Tristan,

did their favorite candies, balloons, cards, telling them how much I love them.

But the big thing was kind of like the colognes and perfumes, like they've all kind of got into

that. What are they into? What are they like? I don't remember them all. I know Delaney,

I got her Mark Jacobs Perfect. Okay. And Tristan's was like Gucci,

something with a Q, I don't remember. Gotcha. And I don't remember Mike's, something blue light.

It's a pretty Gucci gift, you know what I'm saying? That is, it's wonderful. I mean,

the gift of love may as well be the gift of scent, right? And in vice versa. Yep. So Gabriel,

what about yourself? Oh, sorry, what did you get? So what did I get? Well, so I specifically,

to be fair, I told Mike, he asked me what he could go get me and I said, please don't get

me anything because I honestly buy everything for myself all the time. So he got me the essentials

like cotton candy, a Lonnie's, Dr. Pepper, my favorite candy, but I told him that's all I

wanted. I did not want like a gift because yeah. And so that's what he got me, which was awesome.

So he always gets me like a bottle of Dr. Pepper, which is my favorite. So yeah, that was good.

But then we went to Red Lobster. So that is our Valentine's hack. Wow. It's our Valentine's hack

because you can always get a reservation, you go in, they treat you like royalty, like right when

we walked in the door, are you Sydney? And you like we eat with all like 75, 80 year olds. What?

Wow. But like the service is so good. Like it's the only time of the year we go to Red Lobster,

I would never go there otherwise, but it is literally like our hack because then we're not

like in the loud with everybody else being weird. I mean, it's all the people that have been married

for more than 30 years. Like it's great. Nothing says I love you like shellfish. Am I right? Yes.

Yes. Unless you have an allergy. Yeah. So yeah, so we just go to Red Lobster on Valentine's. It's

great. That is fun, right? And everybody loves the biscuits because the biscuits are delicious.

Yeah. Did you, do you get like a lobster or do you normally get it? I get the ultimate feast

because I want a little bit of everything. So I want the snow crab, I want the coconut shrimp,

I want the shrimp scampi, I want the baked potato, I want the lobster tail. What is the, if I may ask,

if you don't mind, I was kind of slightly personal. What is the general cost of eating at Red Lobster

nowadays? It was $100 for two of us. Okay. So not, I feel like it's like everywhere. Not cheap.

Well, the ultimate feast is like $45. Gaby's soup every day. So that is expensive for him.

Okay. All right. So I got the ultimate feast. It's $45 because that's a lot of stuff.

And then Mike gets the captain's platter, which is like fish and chips and something else. And

it's like $19.99. Okay. Ahoy, right? So no, I was just curious because I know that, you know,

certain, there's certain places nowadays where they're significantly more affordable than I

remember them being. One of them actually being out backstage house, exceptionally affordable.

And same thing that goes with Texas Roadhouse, right? The best bang for the buck. Great.

You can ever get. The fact about Texas Roadhouse. In January, kids eat free.

They know that on Tuesdays. So speaking of which, free things, Gabriel, what was your

Valentine's Day like? So I gotta be honest, we don't really celebrate Valentine's Day.

I think as the kids get older, we'll probably start doing stuff. The fun part though that

is for Aiden's school, we, Tony got these little tiny dinosaurs and they spent some

significant time, you know, like she, she packed them so that they could do their Valentine's Day

exchange. I did love the school. I like that.

Valentine exchange. I did love that. We went to, Tony's family was in town.

They went to Sun Valley. So we met up with them this weekend and really that was the highlight.

It was fun, a little bit stressful with kids that are both under the age of five and, but it was,

you know, we had good family memories. That's the key thing. So not much for me as far as

Valentine's Day. Anthony, how about you? What did you get your lovely wife and daughters?

So I got my wife a massage and she got to start the day off with a massage, which was quite nice.

The rest of the day was kind of just a hang around the house, kind of enjoy each other's

company with the girls and stuff like that. My daughter made me some homemade Valentine's,

which is very cute. Oh, I've got, you know, some candy that can include with that. So that was

really fun. I bought myself another RC car. That was my Valentine's gift to myself so my wife

didn't have to do anything, right? I mean, she wouldn't have known which one to get anyway.

That was like last Friday. Yeah, sure. You had her here.

Yeah, I did it before she knew about it. So she actually don't even know what she knows about

it now, but now she does. So that's what I'm getting. And then on Sunday, I actually went to a

Valentine's Day car meet. Oh, okay. Yeah, that was definitely interesting. And yeah, it was in

Promptu. It was something I did. It was outside my comfort zone. I was out kind of cruising around.

Some people call it cruising. I caught looking for a friend and I was out driving down Eagle

Road and I look over and I see a parking lot like a congregation of cars, right? I thought,

you know what? I never do this. I'm just going to show up and walk around. I'm going to check it

out and see what's going on, right? So I did that and the cars there were questionably modified.

They were beaters. It's okay. I'm not going to say they were beaters. I think that they were first

cars for some people. And I think some people have yet to find the RAG company, but I went there

and kind of did a walk around. I talked to a lot of people. You know, someone says like,

hey, look at this mod I did on my car and you have to smile and say, yeah, good job, bud.

And yeah, that's cute. So no, I had a good time. I was actually able to check out the cars and stuff

and then I ended up leaving and that was kind of my weekend. But I mean, overall, sounds like a good

weekend though. Yeah, I didn't do any major. I wouldn't do some detailing, right? You know,

give a little love on, you know, Sunday, but I didn't really have, didn't have a lot of time. So

I think let's get into some actual detailing because Lucas is working hard over there. He's

been laying down the law. So I'm going to start with this one. Wolfsburg or Eric. We're going to

go Eric. So go ahead, Anthony. Good afternoon, TRC. Hope all is well. I see the Barjack Raven 312

now listed for pre-order and saw you all had it in your shop on a prior episode. Able to share

any thoughts on it. Barjack, pretty nice. Yeah. Very quiet. I like the fact that it's got the

battery where it stands vertical. That's definitely nice. Yeah. Very quiet. I'd say the only, maybe

only one critique is wish you had a trigger lock. That's about it. Yeah. Yeah. I wish I had a trigger

lock, but I will say that it's not really that big of a deal. I think it's more of a mental thing.

Sure. I used it last week, which I still have not been able to kill the battery. I did finally

plug it in this week, but I used it last week on a very intensive headlight sanding on an old

what was that? It was like a Lexus GX460 or something. Yeah. And I had to sand correct and

then PPF the headlights. And I mean, I had that thing running. I mean, I went through four,

you know, sandpaper levels and then compound polish, you know, and then used it on a couple

other scratches and stuff. I mean, I ran that thing all day. And honestly, it never really

bothered me that it didn't have a trigger lock. It was fine. Yeah, it was totally fine. But I loved

how quiet it was, how consistent it was. I was super impressed with it. And like I said, the

battery still didn't die. I don't know how long, you know, like with the 2.5 amp hour, you have

maybe like 15 minutes of runtime. And this has had well over an hour. And I just plugged it in

because I did. I have no idea how much battery was left. But no, I've been super impressed with it

so far. Well, speaking of polishing, Lucas, how is the hood looking after polishing out the

Oh, it's looking much better. I think there's still a little bit of sanding haze that I'm going

to try and runery out real quick. And then from there, I'm probably just going to finish it up.

It should be good. Okay. Nice, dude. Looks good. All right. Mr. Dan Pfeiffer. Good afternoon and

we're up from Minnesota. Oh, I like that. Happy Friday, EWTRC gang went from 55 degrees last week

into eight degrees of snow yesterday. Detail season is back on hold. Yeah, you know, we didn't

have that extreme, but it was kind of it was like 60 degrees on Saturday. And then yesterday at my

house, we had three inches of snow in two hours. You guys had a lot. I saw your you had a rail up

and it was crazy. Yeah. And it all happened in like two hours, you know, right when I needed to

come down here. And so it was kind of crazy. But and then it was like nasty. But then by the afternoon,

it was kind of nice again. And today it's been beautiful. Yeah. But yeah, we had crazy winter

came yesterday. What the heck said Dan? All right. Dan says hello and good afternoon, everyone. All

right. Mr. Ron. Good afternoon from sunny Marlboro, Massachusetts. Love that. Anthony.

Matt Bergson says happy Friday Eve, everyone. Rough week for me with the whole family and

dogs sick, but excited for the weekend so I can clean my cars. Matt, that's a that's a glass

half full kind of thing. And I I'm sorry. That's a dog. Yeah, that's a bummer. Stuffing going around.

Yeah. Juice Free says let's go. Just trying to get through this. We got a lot with Neil

White with a good afternoon TRC. We got Hydra up in the channels. We've got, oh, Dane. Dane is here.

Nice. I love it. So so so you managed to find a to find a so here's what I love about Dane,

right? Kathy Bates has taken out his legs, right? He is crawling through his home and

essentially what is misery too, right? I mean, that is it's the second iteration of the misery book

movie. And what I love is that he instead of calling 911 or instead of, you know, calling an

emergency station, he actually wanted to chime in on the Q&A Thursday, right? And that speaks

volume to his work ethic. And that maybe, you know, Kathy's not so bad after all. Yeah. I think it

would be fun if Dane did day in the life videos, you know, those like day in the life.

So why are you laughing? I don't know. I'd be totally honest. I think it would be great.

I want a day in the life of Dane, but it has to start at Express Cafe, right? So it is a full

vlog style. Like I want him to wake up, grab the camera, turn it on. Good morning, everybody.

You gotta show your hand opening the door. Kind of groggy voice. You know, quick little montage

of him getting ready. Then bam, in the Miata, top down and 30 degree weather heading towards

Cafe Express. Yeah, you're going to want to go back to that. Yeah, look at this comment.

Yeah, someone says I don't want you to miss it. Yeah, we were talking about that's nice of you,

Juice, because we were making fun of it for his shoes this morning. So I didn't want you to miss

this. Where can you see my shoes at? I don't know. I don't know, but we're just accept it. Take

the compliment. Yep, take it and let's move on. Okay, we're going to move on. We texted him and

said, hey, can you tell Anthony nice shoes? Good afternoon, Sydney, Anthony and fake Dane.

Good afternoon to you, DSIL7IK. I don't, I don't, I think that's, all right. Ooh, look who Anthony,

look who it is. Oh man, we got Dan Pfeiffer in the house. Happy Friday Eve, Dan, good to see you.

Misty man. Lucas, this comment is for you. This is Dane. Yeah, we got that.

Again, Kathy is, had a brain fart, it's been a long day. Kathy is beating his legs the baseball

bad and he is still like, that is a Toyota, not a Honda. Yeah, and he's brought, he'll give you

the stats of the drivetrain here shortly. All right, Neil White says you guys need the

Oscar Mayer Wino Mobile to detail. That's come through Boise before. Has it has? Yeah, I've seen

it, yeah. That would be awesome. Lucas, this next one's for you, dude. So where's the T-R-C,

Lucas, hair stickers that were talked about before? Dude, I don't know, man. We're gonna have to pass

the message along, I guess. We'll keep at it. We look at a lot of love for you, Lucas. Here's

another one. Thanks guys. Happy Friday. Yeah, happy Thursday. There you go. Go for it. Yeah.

Lucas didn't hand in his resignation after last week, boss. No, I took a small administrative

leave. Yeah. I don't know what, how many weeks left? So what? I don't know. Hydra, can you?

To see me tell T-R-C amazing. Oh, to see, like five. I think it's actually only five. Probably closer

to four, which is ridiculous to be able to walk. I think it's five weeks in one day. Are you guys

ready for the amount of fun that we're gonna have? I am so excited. The after-hour stuff,

the during-hour stuff, I mean, the camaraderie amongst friends, companies. It kind of feels

like family. Like a family reunion. Yeah. Speaking of family, again, not to go off track. I know.

You're doing it. I know. You are doing it. I just want to throw this out there because last night

I almost spent some money on something I probably don't need, but I do want. Another RC car. No.

Our friends over at Puma actually have a Fast and Furious collection of different types of,

I guess, wearable merchandise, right? So our friends at Puma have produced a Fast and Furious

line of shoes, including the. Okay. When you were saying something you could wear, I was thinking

like Vin Diesel with the white. It gets better. It gets better. Here we go. It gets better. So

a Fast and Furious line of shoes that actually look very similar to some of the main Fast and

Furious vehicles. So for example, so Puma has now produced the two Fast and Furious Skyline shoe.

They have produced the Dominic Toretto Charger. I think it was either a Charger or a Challenger

shoe as well. The orange Toyota Supra. It looks just like the car. It's a shoe, right?

But it's themed. Suki's Pink S2000. Also a shoe, right? Gets even better than that, right?

They have an, oh my gosh. They have the, you know, the Puma, like the kind of like,

it's kind of like a driving style shoe. It's the green Mitsubishi Eclipse. Oh, wow.

It's literally green and it's called like the something cat and it has like the blue logo on

the side. Wow. They also have a Fast and Furious like car heart style, like over a jacket. They

have all the different shirts and stuff like that. Anyways, I'm a size 2X or a size 12.

So I think what I met was how many weeks left until Anthony gets all of these shoes?

Yeah. The Fast and Furious collection. Yeah, I think that's what really

I was asking. But that's what, so I brought up the family thing.

Do you like the way they look?

I kind of, I dig the super shoes and the Eclipse shoes for sure. I also really like just all

the other stuff. But basically, so it says like Fast and Furious, it's a collab, right? But on the

sleeves, it says things like family on it. So like there's just a giant print that says family.

It's hilarious. Oh, wow. Okay. But like it's meant to be, you know, super fashionable and it's a limited

edition run. What I think happened is I think Puma produced these a long time ago in expectation of

the Fast and Furious movie probably coming out this summer, right? Any time, right? But now,

I don't know if you guys know this, the new Fast and Furious, the X2 movie, the 10-2,

literally has no release date. Oh, wow. They have not foregone it, but they have, I guess,

production started and it stopped, but there is no release date. Nobody has any direction for

which the movie is going. So it has essentially been almost abandoned at this point, which is just

crazy. That is sad and not to disappoint anybody, but I've never gotten past number two.

So that's okay. So you saw the first one and that is the heart of what Fast and Furious actually is.

But two is pretty good. Three is more, I like three already. Three gets, yeah. Three's got the

vibes. If you also, yeah. What's your favorite Fast and Furious movie? Comment down below.

And would you wear the Puma, Fast and Furious merch? All right. I'm going to keep moving on here

because we are, okay. I got the armor detailed supply trim coating during the sale last week.

Does it need to be stored like a ceramic coating? I mean, I do. I do it. I think just best practices.

Yeah. It's stored in a dry cool place and you can also just put a piece of electrical tape around

the lid just to store it. Yeah. Next up here we've got Dan says, someone asked on the YouTube

announcement Tuesday for today's one. I don't know. Well, he did follow up with this question.

So this might make more sense. Someone asked if Q&A Thursday is suitable for longer questions.

Questions. Is it? Yeah. I think so. Ask us the questions. Yeah. That's what we're here for. I

know that we sometimes give some comedic relief, if you will, like last week's Q&A. So speaking of that,

longer questions, right? What does that mean? Does that mean that you guys are asking just

significantly longer, more in-depth question? Is there kind of multiple layers to the question?

And the reason why I say this, because I was actually watching Matt Mormons live from last

week or something and I had it on there and he answers questions throughout the entire thing.

There are people that will ask him full on like, hey, Matt, here's my situation at work. I'm going

through this. I have this going on. I'm interested in doing this and I like this. How would you go

about, you know, tackling that in life, right? He'll go through the entire thing. Like he'll go

on like a 20 minute like answer of this question and I respect that out of everybody commenting

that he'll take the time to do that. So I think that it's the same thing here. If there's something

that needs an intricate answer, we're happy to give it to you. I do know one thing is,

is we do the Q&A. It's two hours. We do try to answer all the questions. I know if Dane's here,

he'll go like speed round. But we can answer those. It's just, you know, when we hit four o'clock,

we promise the production team just because they put in a lot of time and effort behind the scenes

that we want to go beyond four. So that's the only thing. Yeah. Next up. Yeah. Another Hydra.

We have Mac Burson. I store everything with CO in it or SiO2 in it or protection like coatings

just to be sure. And then here's one for you, Anthony. I'm most excited for the TRC gun,

Anthony developed. Well, thanks. I'm excited about it too. It'll be fun. Sidney, we got Dane.

All right. It is, Dane. Just try to find a way to fit it in all of your single message or

number of your entries so that they know the correct order. So he's referring to...

Oh, and he's saying like maybe the template in which it's asked. Oh, I see, I see. Got it. Got it,

got it, got it. Anthony, it looks like he's five years younger. What happened?

What the heck? I think your chair is lower. Is it? Yeah. Yeah, your chair is lower than

it was last. It's not that I physically look younger. It's just I'm sitting lower.

Yep. And Sid, we got Ron. New brands coming such as Car Candy. Yep. Next up here we've got Rodney.

Rodney says, Eric looks like the Ultra Mini is back in stock and will pair really well

with your new compressor thing. Works great. Yes, that's true. The Mini is back in stock.

It is heading to Amazon as well, but I think it's back in stock at the rightcompany.com. So

if you've been waiting to get your hands on one, now's the time to do so because

these things sell out quite often and we're trying to get ahead of that. Yep. Yeah.

And then Eric, he's asking, can you explain why Lucas is tilting the polisher on the first

pass? He's using one, a rotary on the hood because we did sand it and by tilting it,

you actually get a stronger cut. When you go flat, I call it jeweling, so it kind of evens out the

cut. So that's why he is doing that. In fact, let me see. Hydra also responded to that. More cut.

So yeah, there you go. And then, yep. Then Dane, as a former student, that's mortifying.

He's referring to the new grading policies. Well, no, because Dane also is a little bit

of an overthinker, right? A little bit of analysis process sometimes, also just, you know,

yeah, get an overthinker, right? Dane would have massively benefited from being able to do some

retakes and things like that. And I had what's that called? It's not test anxiety. I just thought

that whenever I take a test, right? It was never like, what is the answer? It's always like,

if I was the teacher, which way would I have ordered the answer? I didn't even care about

what the answer was. I wanted to know the psychology of which they placed the-

It would be too easy to put that one as A. So it's probably not that. They definitely put this

as D, right? It was A. I just overthought it and, you know. The hard thing with it, and I'll just

say this from a teacher's perspective, is one, when creating tests, you have to create multiple

tests because kids can do multiple tests. And the other thing is kids are not dumb. They communicate.

They know how to play the game, which is totally fine. But it's definitely, from a teacher perspective,

a lot more work. And then having to go back, of course, in grade. That's the part that's like,

oh my gosh. We couldn't even take pictures on our phones. Like, no, we could. They just weren't very

good. They weren't very good. Well, you guys are younger than me. We didn't have phones. Hey, check

out my razor camera. Like, oh, that almost looks like your face. Cool. All right. So we got, what

does Dave Smith say there, Sid? First time from Northeast Indiana, I have a lot of questions.

And the first is, what is your feeling on graphene ceramic sealant?

Well, I mean, how honest can we be here? I think that graphene, for me, and dealing with the

chemists that I have, I think that graphene was a buzzword. I think it stays or kind of over.

However, the ceramic sealants that it is in, and those who make them, are perfectly fine.

Perfectly fine. There's nothing wrong with them. I do feel like from some of my experience

in the graphene coatings, I feel like they didn't hold up as well as some people thought they would

with the graphene in them. But I will say the products that say graphene ceramic sealant,

the content of graphene in them is so low, but they do have SiO2 in them. Most of the products

are just fine and they work great. I just personally am not a big fan of using the word

graphene, and really nowadays that that fad is kind of over. Yeah, I think, I mean,

I feel like you covered it pretty well. Do you have anything now on that?

All right. Here you go, Anthony. It's a Michael. Happy Friday, TRC crew. My 39.6 gallon,

150 liters compressor is on the way. That's exciting. Can't wait for my air tools to go on

and on and on. Wow. That's going to be game changer for sure. Try the air blaster mini. Fan favorite.

All right. Alkaline, the level of hand holding isn't conducive to functional adulthood unless we

want employers to micromanage to that degree as well. Yeah. And that's the tough thing, right?

You're setting kids up for success, but what you are not doing is holding them a little bit more

accountable. So even when they get to college level, it makes it more difficult. That's the key

thing. And even if you were to take it to an industry level, right? If you don't do something,

it's not like you're going to still get 50%. If I don't show up to work, doesn't mean I'm going to

get 50% of my pay, right? Yeah. I don't know. Well, it's true. I mean, if you go from that to

a college professor expecting that you're going to get the same treatment that you got from your

high school English teacher, history teacher, you might be in for a rude awakening. You might

hate that. You might be like, these people are mean. This is a complete 180 from what you

expected. So that might actually make things more difficult, right? Make the college dropout rate

higher. It could make people's fear of college higher. And yeah, I'm not sure. It's pretty crazy.

It's pretty crazy. I'm curious what the statistics are.

This is a depressing talk. On to detailing, please. Okay. We will keep going. Let's see.

Sid, what does Eric say? All right. Eric DIY says, thanks, Hydra. I didn't see what

polisher was being used, but this does cause, or used, but does this cause holograms with a rotary?

No consequence with a DA. When you do rotary, typically, again, when you

lean to the side and you get more cutting, you can do, you can jewel it. And if you're really good,

you could probably get away with it without having to go back. But you are still likely to get

hologramming. So with a soft pad, I think. So Sid went with the white edge guard pad along with,

what were you using? Therapy? Therapy. And she was polishing it out. And honestly, that two-cut

combo worked amazing. Ronnie says, for show, the swivels two-pack and bearing tubes two-pack,

a good pickup. Nice. All right. Anthony. Mike, what compressor did you go with?

Oh, I guess we could have just gone through that. Sorry. It's okay. I am trying to keep up with the

pages. I got to give Dan kudos because this is not the easiest. Okay. Dan's diamond detailing

says love this red Toyota. Yeah. And we also got a... Did we talk about what year this Toyota is?

So yeah, fun fact about this Toyota. This Toyota is a 2004. This is actually my parents'

one and only brand new car that they ever purchased. No way. That's awesome. From Peterson

Toyota here in Boise. It became my sister's car and she drove it through college. And then

when she got married, they ended up moving to Connecticut. So this car went all the way to

Connecticut and back because they moved back. And then they gave them back to my parents. My

sister and brother were like, hey, you guys want the car back? Well, so my mom got it and she's been

driving it. And as far as Dan was asking for cars to do, and I thought, you know, I think this one

would be a good one. And the polished process, it really was a good before and after we were talking

next time we should get probably the role of all the work that we put into. But yeah, I know this

is... Yeah. Yeah. Good little car. Yeah. Super cool. Like the paint, honestly, I mean, it's 22 years

old. Yeah. You know, like 80% of the car is better than most five-year-old cars that I work on.

Oh yeah. Like it really changed the color. That thing looks pretty dang good for what it is. And I

do love that this says that the Corolla's specced in red lobster red or metallic because actually,

like maybe that's why, you know, the back bumper has a little bit of a different hue. In fact,

you can see it on that shot right there. Yeah. Like that's actually kind of funny. I mean, it is

like a lobster tail right there. It is. The old Toyota's for whatever reason, their paint does

do a little bit of fading on that plastic. Makes you want to slap some butter on that. You know what

I mean? Oh, heck yeah. Don't know what you... Next up, we have Dan trying to hear him over my voice.

Red Lobster says, haven't been in 25 years. Kind of like Chili's or Red Robin question mark. Outback

Steakhouse. Pretty much the restaurants that you go to when you have no other options. Yeah. Yeah.

The only thing though, I will say like, I mean, we have a lot of options and I actually really

love all those places. I ate at Red Robin last week too and it's fantastic. Like that, like the

campfire sauce. I go just for the campfire sauce. But no, yeah. We hadn't eaten at Red Lobster in

like 10 years and then we started going for Valentine's Day and honestly, it's like the best.

Well, according to Anthony, I don't go out to any of those. I just eat soup.

That's not all you eat, Gabriel. I've seen you also eat other things like chicken and,

you know, quesadillas. I've seen you eat... He does like some... You're waiting for some

mollies that you bring from Costco. That you get from Costco all the time. Those look delicious.

The habanero pizzas. Yep. A little quad-hob action from our friends over at Flying Potty.

All right. And go ahead and read that. I gotta find where this next one is.

Hanzo says, good day, TRC crew. Any tips for clean the wheel well are with that mesh type

material. So you're just talking about carpeted wheel wells. Yeah. So you can pressure wash them

out. You can use like a turbo nozzle if you want to use a turbo nozzle. You can use an air blaster.

You can spray them with APC. Then you can pressure wash them out.

There's a lot of different ways to go about cleaning them. Just keep in mind they do hold

on to a ridiculous amount of soil and dirt and debris. And so whenever you do try to

tackle cleaning them, I would make sure you have a lot of space for that stuff to go.

Yeah. Yeah. And you said it. They do respond well to the turbo nozzle, though, for sure,

on pressure washers. Yeah. Anthony, go for this one. G. Davis says Anthony got his wife on

a NOS glove box to a glove box lock from a 1992 Honda Civic and a gift card for the schnitzel

garden. Yes. That would make her hard excited. He has to think hard about his post, you know.

You know, I thought he's witty. He's fast. Yeah. No, he's really fast. Yeah. So the glove box walks

in a 92 Civic. I'm trying to think of what that would even look like. There wouldn't be like a

NOS. I mean, I think he's just thinking like a NOS sticker. Maybe like a stickered glove box.

I like that. What does Hydra say there, Sid? This is hilarious. So Hydra says this car needs

ghost on its paint to really make it pop. Don't you agree? I don't know. We could tell Lucas,

hey, let's ghost it. We could ask him. All right, Sid, another one for you. All right, Sidney,

come to New England for real seafood. Oh, I bet. I bet. You know what? I do love lobster rolls.

It keeps going. I would come there just for lobster rolls. You go to Maine for the lobster.

You go to Seattle over here for the salmon. I do not eat salmon, so I do not eat fish,

except for Gordon's fish sticks. Holy crow. Outline. Look at this one. My partner,

I went to a nicer restaurant a few weeks ago and spent $400 on the two of us.

I don't think I could do that. I'm not really good at that. Actually, that Michelin star restaurant

in Caldwell is really good. Dan, so I don't know if you guys know this. Dan actually sent out a

bunch of salmon. Yeah, I remember that. He sent out some frozen salmon as well as

rockfish and stuff like that. Right. So I finished it off. I think what, a couple,

I don't know, like a month ago or something like that. I was pounding it down. I was going through

it like crazy. And so I, yeah, I love seafood. I like seafood. I don't like fish. Yeah.

Just is, but it's so good for you though. I know. So you know, salmon is one of the best in your

skin. That smells are good for you too. Omega-3 sardines, incredible for your skin. The omega-3

sardines in there that you get are just insanely good for not only your heart health, your skin

health, your joint health, significant amount of benefits. I take all that in supplement form.

Yeah. No, you could. Yeah. You could eat it too. And, and change your ways. Enjoy. Right. You know,

nothing like opening up a can of sardines and seeing the full scales of... That would never

happen. Ever. I got a can here. How much? How much? How much do you eat one sardine? No,

I wouldn't even do it for $2,000 in cash. Yes, you would. No, I would not. One sardine. You're

telling me if I wouldn't got you one sardine on a plate right now. It's so good. Absolutely not.

Mustard sardines. Have you done mustard sardines? No. Those are usually not the best ones. They're

the... I think you're referring to what the bumblebee sardines. Don't eat those ones. What?

Those ones aren't good. That's, that's subjective. So anyhow... I would give Sydney a Portuguese

branded sardine. Move it on. I'm going to... I dare I throw up this comment. We're going to be

stuck here. So keep this short, Anthony. Okay. Oh, molasses. Thanks for asking. So I picked up

the Arma Mahave Grom. BLX is what I got. It's a brushless 2 to 3S. And that's absolute blast.

It's in the Miami color. So it's like a beautiful teal and pink. Kind of like my daughter's,

my daughter's colors. It's cool. I like it. Gee asks what, how many mileage? I think this

curl has maybe 110, 120,000. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's super low. Man,

my Mini Cooper has like 145. Yeah. And it's manual. It's pretty sweet. Yeah. It's a manual? It's a

manual. So the cool thing about it is back in the day, they had the sports package, but they have

like a lot like front bumper and the side skirts and the rear bumper. It looked kind of gaudy.

And my dad only wanted the rear spoiler. Okay. So pretty cool. Honestly, it's a pretty rare

combo. It's a cool little car. Yeah. All right. Hanzo. Good day, TRC crew. Any tips for cleaning the

we read this before under the wheelbar area? Yeah, we just read that one. I think he re,

I think he rewrote it in a different way. Okay. Yeah. I think we answered that one. But if you

don't mind me. What's up, everyone? Had Gabe already mentioned that ADS pilot can be used on

class. We have heard him say that. Yes, Mike. Mike, it does work. I would expect to see this in a

future video of yours, you know, really showing off the benefits of, you know, different things.

ADS pilot does work on glass. It does. I'm not crazy. That actually is a true thing. This is

not like a Lucas, you know, joking thing. It can, but I would like to see Mike experiment with things

like ghost on paint or tire plus on paint in a future video. I would never go that far. We're

talking about not, you know, Lucas, nothing against you. You did great. Lucas, what's your opinion

of ghost on the paint? Not ghost on paint. That's what somebody said. Everyone has been saying that.

I've honestly been skipping the comments. Someone even said foam ghost through a foam can. That's

why I skipped it. Move on. Let's keep going. Okay. All right. All right, Anthony. Let's see. Mike,

she says, what? That's crazy talk. I'll have to give a try. Pilot is legitimately good at cleaning

glass. Yes. Before we move on to this next question, how are things going, Lucas? How are you feeling?

Try and come back to that in a sec. How did the rear quarter panel go?

Pretty good. Nice. Yeah. You're killing it, dude. Do you guys measure the paint on this?

We did. Yeah, we did. Pretty good. Solid. Good enough. Good enough to party. Good enough to party.

I went for it. Let's just say I did my own version of full send. Okay. All right. Let's see. See what

I did there. I did. Okay. Steve Pearson said, Steve asks, how are the new accessories from

SEMA coming along? Very good. Everything's going. It's just production. Yep. That's what we're

waiting on now. So everything's in the, yeah. So it's happening. All right. What else do we

got there, Anthony? Hydra says, having a four by four hour wheel drive during this weather with

good tires makes it so fun. When there is one inch of snow in Belgium, all traffic is a disaster.

We call it the country is completely in chaos. Yeah. Yes. Oh man. It's like Seattle.

Uncle Line, G Davis has more mileage than the jokes about Dane's mailroom. Does he have a

mailroom in this new house? Dane actually had a transitioning mailroom for a period of time,

which was an old office he previously had, and that became the new mailroom. I just don't know

the abundance of mail in this one. I think I opened the door the last time I was there.

I think I saw a stack forming, but like how crazy it got, only Dane would know. Yeah. That's so

funny. Steve Pearson says, I hope you're all having a great week. You too, Steve.

Dane, life is unmatched. Right? I mean, there's others out there that would like to see the day

in the life of Dane. Dane, remember to put the ceramic penguin back facing yourself.

Yeah. All right. So now moving on to the next page. All right. Here we go.

There you go, Anthony. Hello from Warm and Sunny, South Carolina, everyone. What's going on,

man? Welcome. Zero day detail. When the juice free hits you up there, Anthony. This kind of

gives you context about what he saw. Oh, so they weren't even your current shoes. It was whatever

shoes you were wearing when you did the like walk, you know, so they probably weren't the ones you're

wearing today. Yeah, it's probably not the McDonald's ones. Yeah, I don't know. I have no idea.

Yeah. Right now I'm wearing, I'm wearing Nike Air Max, you know, Air Max's and they're all black

and they, everybody keeps joking around saying that they look like a work shoe, like a McDonald's

shoe or something like that. And they totally do. I got all black because I'm like, oh, let's be

easier to keep clean and whatever. But I didn't think that people would just associate them with

being like a, like a general work shoe. You can't see their Nikes. Here's what Dan's diamond

detailing also has to add about shoes. Gotcha. Okay. My shoes are family. My shoes are family.

That's what I want to say. Yeah. I want to say my shoes are family about the Puma shoes, right?

Yeah. Like that would be hilarious. Yeah. Speed cap. That is, look, look at the, look guys, please

go to Puma's website. It's incredible. I think Steve did. Now he's responding. So now we're

getting into, in fact, I'm just going to jump back and forth from comments. But look at this.

Tokyo drift point. Yes. They had, there's a drift one where there's a drift shirt. There's

all sorts of stuff. Oh, you're saying Tokyo drift in general. Fast and Furious plus GTA 6 collab.

That would be maybe another one they could do. Yeah. Hydra says, the RAD Company 30th of March

is my birthday. Great to have Tiarosima in that time for my B-Day presents. Yeah. So yeah,

and your hosts are sitting on either side of me. So maybe they can throw a birthday shout out for

you. Nice. We'll remember that. Never selling happy birthday on a Tiarosima livestream before.

We don't want to hurt their ears. We probably won't sing, but we could hold up a sign.

Gotcha. Okay. We have a question here there, Anthony. Is SO3 a popular item? It seems to

be out of stock. It is popular. Yeah. It is popular. More shoe talk right here. Not worth

$135 for boomers. I understand. Bro, that's a lot. Okay. Gabriel, shoes nowadays. Yeah. I feel

like, I feel like every pair of shoes I buy. No, I shop at Payless. Oh my, but that doesn't exist

anymore. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Payless doesn't exist. It was a joke. We did a shoe kernel. Remember

when they moved Payless inside Shopco? Yeah, I do remember that. That was pretty crazy. But I feel

like all shoes are 135 to 150 bucks. You have the shoes? What? Okay. Let's go and pull them up. Oh my

gosh. These are so sick. I'm telling you. So the orange super ones are definitely my favorite.

But see, they have the Skyline, the S2000, whatever the heck that is. Oh, the green and blue ones

are actually kind of cool. Right. Yeah. Aren't those awesome? No, I don't hate those because

they do look like driver's shoes. Yeah, those are cool. Yes. I'm telling you guys. And this jacket.

This is family on the front. It's amazing. Yeah. Look at those shorts. Look at the no sleeves.

I'm obsessed. Carson would rock that. Yeah. So that orange hoodie is definitely like a

Jimmy hoodie. Uh-huh. I love the t-shirt as well. They're awesome. They have kids shoes as well.

Oh, okay. I know. I know. They're amazing. Those pink shoes. How much are the pink shoes

Glenn on those? I don't know. Those 15. Nope. Okay. I love my daughters, but

115 for kids shoes. Okay. But stick with me here. You have two daughters. So if you buy them for Lucy,

you know you're going to get one more use out of them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's like the

hack for that. That is true. 70 bucks, technically. I like how you're justifying this. And I plan

a pitch in the Senate ships for free. 57 bucks. 57. Okay. Let's go back, Glenn. Anyways,

and it comes in a super sick box. So fast, curious line available at Puma. You know,

you really. Those are cute. You know, show up in style. Right. Family is everything. Yeah.

All right. Back to the main show. Yeah. Let's get back to it. I'm going to just skip

some Dane comments. Sorry, Dane. I love you. What? No, you got to get Dane there. The USS

is my number one favorite rinse wash sponge and I'm almost a Maxi at this point. Yeah. That's

all I used to. Here you go, Sid. Love it. GMC car care says, or GM car care says hello,

TRC family. Family. I agreed. Hello. And we are Ryan says happy Friday. Hey guys, happy Friday,

Eve. Is this tagline in the wash bay new? Yes, it is brand new. So yeah, thanks to

Nate Schrum as well as Josh Brodle. We were able to not only create these new graphics here,

but also get them all mounted up and it looks awesome. They were actually here last week,

but they got lost in the chaos. Extremely lost in the chaos. It was lost in the full send sauce.

Yeah. Right. Can we say that? Okay. Yeah. All right. We'll go there. All right. Now why?

Dane, since you're discussing movies, go see send help. Random really quick question. Has

it called a night of the seven kingdoms? It is like a spin off of the Game of Thrones.

Very good. Very good. Highly recommend. A lot of fun. You know what it says,

next up for who we have a friend. I got another no white one. Graphene. Now that's a name I haven't

heard in a long time. Right. I mean, it came and went pretty fast. Like, what was it? Maybe

two years, three years and had its glory still making its way around. In fact, Dane adds to this.

Here you go. Right. It was such a buzzword for a year or two. Then we at Tier C received a ton of

pressure from commenters, others to introduce some of it to our line, but we avoided it. Yeah.

And he also adds. We just had a feeling it was noise more than anything revolutionary. Amen.

And alkaline says, Dane, I guess that makes you guys tougher than graphene. We try to be.

Yeah. And in fact, Hydra even said the wrap company good to avoid the bullet. Yeah. Wow.

I mean, again, no offense to anybody that created stuff. Yeah. I mean, the stuff was fine. It just

wasn't necessarily any better. Oh gosh. I gotta figure out what page we're on. Okay.

Sid, this one's a good one for you. All right. We got GM Carcare. The buff and shine pads are out

of this world. They are so good. They're all I use. And Max says, awesome to help out your mom's

car, Gabe. She has earned it. She has. She just retired this last winter. And honestly, she,

you know, I've washed her car and stuff, but I haven't given it the makeover that it deserves.

So I'm in a big shout out to our team, Lucas, Carson, Sidney for helping out as well. It's

a lot different. Once we pull it out into the sun, it's going to look crazy. So I'm really excited.

Gotta get my mom's car in here next. You know what? Bring it in. What kind of car does she have?

What does she have? She's got one of the newer style, not newest style, the more recent newer

style of Santa Fe is the Hyundai Santa Fe. It's got really pretty paint on it. Actually,

it's a good looking car. Anthony. Better late than never was just grieving over team Canada's

women's loss and the hockey. Wow. And hockey to the American women. Holy smokes.

I'm sorry to hear that. I thought it was a blowout. No, it just, it just ended.

It just ended now? Yeah. It was today. He was watching it. I am so sorry. I mean,

I would say we deserved it, but I mean, we, maybe we didn't, you know, I don't, I don't know.

Yeah. Hello, Tier C. Hope everyone is well. So it's public concrete. Good to see him in the chat.

Hopefully business is good. We need to get, we need to get some names from whoever is installing

Dane's deck currently. Right? And then we need to obviously have an account for them.

Public concrete also adds the Toyota definitely deserves. Len, what was that?

All that car care today. All that car today. Yeah. Len, can I get a confirmation of that name for

the deck building? So his name is Fern, F-E-R-N. Dino. F-E-R-N and he's 70 years old.

Hello, hello. Dane is making a 70 year old man build his deck. Wow. And he's doing it by himself.

Dane, did you? Is Dane there? Yeah. And his name is Fern? His name is Fern with an F. Is Dane here?

No. Dane is at his, watching his deck being built by the 70 year old man. Oh, wow.

How does Glenn know all the details about Dane and Fun? See, I really don't know. I'm assuming they're real.

Oh, she just timed in me, my ear saying, wouldn't you like to know? Oh, that's funny, Glenn. Okay.

Anthony. I'm at the gym, sorry for the late, but replies as Michael. And then next up here,

we've got more public concrete, Sydney. Red Lobster color looks great on a really suit. Yeah,

it does. All right, Sydney. All right, next up we have Scotty. Tamara. Scooty. Scooty, Tamara.

Hello, Sydney, Lucas, and Gabe. Hello, Tamara. We missed you. It's good to hear from you.

Lucas, you got a compliment in here from Al Glyne. He says, Lucas, that hood is turning out money.

Looking good. It really is a big difference from where it was. Yeah, holy smoothies. Yeah,

it looks so good. Pablo also says 88 watchers and only two likes. Come on, guys. Yeah, 21,

but 21. Oh, I said, oh, I didn't look like a two from me. I'm sorry. I'm not wearing my glasses.

All right. Anthony, what do we got? Go to Method to Clean Glass, Sydney. I think there's something

you have coming out here, Sydney. Yeah, I swear by, you'll never fail if you use a microfiber

applicator and you spray the glass cleaner, any glass cleaner really, on the microfiber applicator,

then have an FTW waiting and you draw a box, scrub it out with the microfiber applicator,

get all the gunk pulled into the applicator, then you buff it all off with the FTW and you get

perfect glass every single time, never fails. Did you not just recently make a new video coming

out soon? Yeah. Cool. And then we got Ron, there for you, Anthony. Noss is a sort for a new old

stock. Yeah. Oh, I thought, okay, sorry. I was thinking, yeah. You say Noss in 1992, Civic,

I go to the Fast and Furious. That's what I thought too. I'm thinking I'm like, Noss,

like I'm like, I guess I would have been, could have had like a lock or something. That's why I

was confused too. Yes. That is a new old stock glove box. Yeah, that is quite funny and would

be worth a fortune actually. Yeah. I would like to find some new old stock 1992 EG Civic hatchback

rear folding seats that they had in Japan. Did you know that those seats folded flat to create

a flat plastic surface? Did they really? Yep. And it was for, it was so you could take, load

up the car with all sorts of fun things, right? You could drive your car to the racetrack with

wheels and tires in the back and race and swap things out as on the fly. What the heck are you

serious? Wow. Worth a thousand. Love Portuguese nerdy sardines. They honestly make most others

seem gross. Yep. Portuguese sardines are some of the highest quality and that's not, I'm not saying

that just as a Portuguese man. I'm just, I'm saying that as just a consumer of sardines,

sardines, whatever. All right. All right, Sydney, Rob Carey.

All right. Rob Carey says, hello, TRC gang from Hamilton, Ontario. Thank you guys for all your

time and helpful tips, tricks and knowledge. Thank you. Thank you. And then we got a good comment

in here, which also I just want to say I love seeing these details of old regular cars.

Seeing them pop back to life is always a bit nostalgic and fun. It is. It is. Like this car

looks, it looks really freaking good. Like crazy good. Yeah. Yeah. Lucas is doing a great job.

And then G. Who doesn't remember the German dudes? Okay. Only sardine skin cream Anthony used to sell

on late night infomercials. Yep. Yeah. It is moisturizing and healthy. So all right. We

have reached our halfway point here and the Q and A and Lucas is still killing it. We're still

holding the fort down here. But guess what? There's more. It's where this came from last week. I said

the second half is going to get crazy and it did. So here's the deal guys. We've been talking a lot

about old cars. We've been talking a lot about fast and furious. Fast food chains. A lot of

fasts in here. So come with your detailing questions. Second half. Let's have some fun.

Stay tuned and we'll see you in just a couple of minutes.

Hey everybody. Welcome back. It's the second half of the Q and A and we are humming along.

We got Lucas in the background and he is doing some, it looks like a final step polish on this

Toyota Corolla before he gets ready to full send into see what I did there. Not full send

in anything but coding. Yes. I like that. Give us an update there Lucas. Where are you at? How are

things going? What are some of the struggles? I see you polishing quite a bit going back and

forth and doing a lot of thinking and contemplating about life. Well you know what? I think we're

now in a good spot and I'm ready for the second half. So what happened was we had to polish up,

touch up some spots. We had a wet sanded hood. So we had to like three step that bad Mamma Jamma.

So I had to chase some pigtails for a little bit and then panel prepped it. Looks pretty good.

So we're going to call it. This light's probably bothering people. My apologies.

Boom. Do a little quick rotary right here. Chase out some of the deeper defects and whatnot.

Right now I think I'm getting ready to panel prep this bad Mamma Jamma. We're just going to

coat the whole thing. It's looking extremely shiny. So you're doing a great job man. Thanks man.

We are excited. So what coatings are you going to use for today's Toyota Corolla?

So for the trim, trim plus from ADS with helpful some like detail factory brushes to get in some

of the more intricate areas so to speak. And then we got some glass coating. So this is going to go

in the glass. Okay. Right. And then boom. And then we got some ADS pro courts. So this is like

freaking solid paint coating. So we're going to throw this on the whole thing. And yeah.

And don't forget, thanks to our friends over at Viper, we have some new toys that you can use for

the lower rockers and stuff. And Anthony, do you want to kind of go into a little bit about that?

Yes, Gabriel. I'm happy to do so. So our friends over at Viper chair actually sent out a couple

things for us to play with and test here at the studio. And included here is actually the Viper

mini creeper. So this is a very small platform that you can either sit on or you can kneel on

depending on the position you have it set to. And it is ideal for wheel cleaning. It's ideal for

coatings. It's really cool because it's got some trays on the side to be able to hold some things.

We actually built these yesterday and we're just kind of messing around with them and we rolled

up to a wheel after just sitting on it and like our jaws dropped because that essentially solves

the wheel cleaning discomfort for pretty much everybody here. We really determined that it was

really cool. Okay, with that said, I think this is a good transition to some more questions

and some more answers. So yeah, let's get into it. I'm going to go right into

Mack Berkson there, Anthony. I use a 5050 mix of KCS glass cleaner and waterless wash makes my

cleaning step less grabby. Interesting. Okay. For the windows? Yeah, it looks like it's mixing them.

You know what? I imagine the glass cleaner would help just dissolve quicker. I don't know. I think

it probably is going to help it evaporate faster. That's what I was thinking. That's the word I was

using, evaporating. No, I can see why that would work. I mean, waterless wash typically works great

as a glass cleaner, but it's a little bit more. Are you using it as a glass cleaner? Are you using

as a glass cleaner or even like door jams and stuff like that? I think he's probably

using it as a glass cleaner. I think he's cutting his KCS glass cleaner with waterless wash, which

is kind of interesting. That's really interesting. That's why I'm asking. We got Dane here.

It says, thanks. I've been trying to get more of these kind of cars in lately.

He's doing a good job. And Dane, here you go, man. Well, I appreciate Gabe. I'm facing Dane

withdrawal. I know I'm not Dane. I don't go in depth on the movies with Anthony as much.

He needs to be saved, right? And what Dane is waiting for is, you know, that person to

break into his home, save him from Kathy Bates. Did the guy in Misery survive?

He did. And he ended up writing, I believe, about his time while he was captive by Kathy Bates.

And so he was crippled in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. And that, I'm not saying that

what would, that's what would happen with Dane, necessarily. But ideally, Dane tells the stories

about, you know, what his time being captive in his own home. Well, Mac, I can promise you,

Dane will be back here shortly. I think he's going, he's playing on being back next week.

And I think we're also going to have Delaney on the show. So next week's going to be a fun one. So,

yeah. We like to change it up here. CEO detailing, what does he have to say, Sid?

Good afternoon from Missouri. What is the best coating for extra gloss on a white vehicle?

You know,

coating. I mean, really, I think you're probably just looking for what coating has the most

gloss pop, which there's a couple. Like to amplify the paint. Yeah. I mean,

obviously I love stout, right? So stout does great on white cars. I just did a white Porsche with it.

But I'm sure even what Lucas is using today with the pro courts, I mean, any of these are,

you know, it's just kind of one of those things that coatings have evolved, that there's a lot

of just really great ones out on the market right now that have that like immediate gloss that we

were all looking for for years. So I think part of it's going to be in your prep, you know,

to get that gloss to pop just from your prep and your polishing and then hit it with amplify at the

end. Yeah. I will say though that your longer term coatings are going to give you more gloss than

maybe your short term coatings. Good point. All right, Anthony, we've got there you are.

Oh, the shoes are sick as in the flu. Are we talking about the Fast and the Furious shoes?

I could wear those pink ones. Next up here, we've got Michael says,

is there a spray wax you suggest for gym shorts? Gym shoes.

Wow. I went to the eye doctor to this morning and they actually said that my eyes look great.

I didn't want you to actually like think about that.

And I made a wax for my shoes.

So yeah, I was like, why would you need that? And I thought, well, you know,

and spray wax for your shoes. Medicated chafing, I don't know.

Yeah, carnival based something. So no. So for shoes, I know you're kind of laughing.

Actually, I protect all of my shoes with detailing products. So I actually use a color lock actually

made a shoe cleaning kit for a while. You can take a fabric. You don't want to necessarily

seal off the fabric because you want your shoes to still be able to breathe, right?

Especially if they have like a mesh, but you could take a light mist of some type of

fabric protectant and go over the top. G-technics fabric.

Yeah. G-technics has smart fabric and you can go over the top of that.

You don't want to saturate it necessarily, but it's better than not having anything.

And who knows? I mean, I've had shoes that were easier to clean. They scuffed less.

They visually lasted longer. So yeah, there's options out there. So don't, don't, don't laugh

too much. Yeah. And still more shoe talk. Pumas are cheap compared to most other shoe brands.

So I've never actually owned a pair of Pumas. I don't know the build quality.

I don't think that I have either. Aren't they like the official like shoe supplier of like F1 though?

Probably. I mean, they do do more of those like driver style shoes, Rich, which are coming back.

Vans just released a new driver style shoes and they're actually pretty cool.

Really? Yeah, they're really cool.

Here's Hydra's question. Now we're about shoes. What's your shoe game favorites during detailing?

Well, Hydra, thanks for our friends over at Vassie. You can be reassured that while detailing-

Brooks right now. They don't know that. You just messed up what I-

Yeah, Vassie owes you nothing. They don't even know you.

Are you kidding me? Vassies keep my feet dry, Anthony. They are waterproof shoes.

So if you are in a situation where you need to detail and your feet are getting wet,

Vassies are my choice. Although the Brooks are definitely comfortable for the support.

So for me, I own 12 pairs of Nike 270s.

12 pairs to make sure that I match my outfit. 12 different pair of 270s.

So that's what I wear most of the time, but to be honest, when I'm by myself and no cameras

are following me, I wear Birkenstocks. I like that. Yeah.

With socks. Anthony, where's the shoes that-

I talked about earlier. I said Nike or Max have been kind of my new-

So the reason why I said, yeah, we're apologizing to Anthony to give a little bit of context.

Anthony walks into the studio and typically in the mornings, he introduces and says something

like, hey, check out what I'm wearing. Gives a lot of fun facts and intricate details,

but then we get lost in the sauce because of his shoes. It's not that his shoes are terrible choice,

it's just they're all black and they look like the type of shoes that you would see well at

a Wendy's or a Sonic or you get the gist. They're kind of like potato black shoes.

And that's what we- Apparently all the Disney characters at

Disney wear these style of shoes. This is an area where you say we get lost in the details.

We need to put it in the middle. We get lost in the details. I think you should

take it up to the camera and show them because you can't see back here.

Yeah, but turn it towards the front like when you first walk.

It's the top down view. It's the what you call that bird's eye view.

Yeah, it looks potato like. It's the bird's eye view. Yeah.

It looks special. You know, they're durable. They can survive. You know, if they've made

it this long in life, right? You know, construction wise.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So wrong.

So somebody photoshopped Anthony's head on the models.

Yeah, I like that.

I wish. Anthony will be wearing these Pumas and optional clothing.

Holy crap, man. That's horrible and hilarious.

Wow, Gabe, just skipping all of my thoughtful, fast and furious talk.

Anthony would have loved it. Well, well, you should have been here.

Dane, I wouldn't know because Gabe skipped it all and he is going with the screen.

So he's gatekeeping.

Okay, I'm not fully gatekeeping. I'm just trying to get some details.

Would have loved to hear him, Dane. Enjoy your humor.

The daughters will be sliding through the corners, I know, right?

That's my dream.

Question for Lucas. Is he polishing the windshield?

Oh, there we go.

Do these look, I mean, that was that was actually a great shoe cam, Glenn.

Can we get that back here? I liked what she did.

Or did you already zoom out? Maybe she didn't.

Oh, there we go, yeah.

Potato shoes.

So do they look like a potato shoe?

Do they look like, I mean, I think that they're fashionable.

I think they got good treadwear.

So when I see those shoes, I don't think fast and furious. I think fast food.

So what Gabe was saying earlier, I think you guys see my ankles here.

So what Gabe was saying earlier is like, I'll come in here and I will often like

shield my wares, right? And I'm not making any money off these things.

I just think it's kind of fun to sell stuff.

So right now I'm on my gene arc, right?

So I'll bring this up really quick.

And then this is my last tangent I'll go on.

Okay, all right.

So I'm on my gene arc right now, meaning that I am looking for my forever genes.

And so my friend Matt Mormon from Obsessed Garage, you guys may have heard of him.

Back in Georgia when we were there at the Helen House, he gave me a pair of his used genes.

And I accepted them wholeheartedly because they looked like nice genes.

And he said, hey, Anthony, these will probably fit you because I lost a bunch of weight.

And I said, what's that supposed to mean?

And he said, no, he's like, these are by Husky Pants and these will probably fit you.

And I look at them.

I kind of scrunched my face and he goes, what?

It's true.

And I go, okay, I'll take them, Matt.

Thank you.

So I took these genes from him and they were by a company called Origin.

I found out that they are the Jocko genes as the other guy on YouTube ever, like the Navy Seal guy.

So they're called Origin genes and gave them to me.

I put them on and I'm like, oh man, these are like the most comfortable genes I've ever worn.

And they were the Delta Flex 68 or something like that.

They're like a very flex fitting gene.

And the only downside is that Matt, I didn't know this has like really short legs.

So like he had a 36, but he had him like hemmed to a 30 or a 31.

Or I think a 30.

That's so funny.

It's like super short.

Yeah, because I'm 30.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's super short legs.

And so I'm like, dude, I'm like, I am at least a 32 or 33 in length and same.

So I'm mostly leg, right.

So I wore these jeans.

I'm like, dude, they're kind of floods on me, right?

So I would like to order a pair for myself.

So I ended up finding a pair of these Origin genes and I ordered a pair.

They are awesome.

I'm like super obsessed with them.

And I think I'm going to continue buying them.

And I'm going to phase out my old, you know, American Eagle stock of genes from my, you know, 20s.

So this is my new path going forward is I would like to get into, you know, finding my, what's my stuff?

What's my adulthood stuff?

And I think I've found my adulthood genes.

I'm pretty excited.

Yeah.

I think it's worth talking about.

I like it.

No, I like it.

Genes are also something that I like it.

You just have that ability to like turn it on.

And yeah, turn what on turn on the top.

Like I have never met anybody who goes so in depth about a specific thing.

Does that make sense?

Like, for instance, like the average Joe, you're like, oh, yeah, I'm going to go get a water bottle,

right?

But then Anthony walks in and he's like, Hey, look at this water bottle.

And he goes in depth about the material.

And, and, you know, I just, if you separate, it's fun.

It's fun learning about this kind of stuff.

And I like knowing the ins and outs of why things are being created.

I think this is my way of complimenting you.

It doesn't sound like a compliment, but I'll take it.

Next up here, we have Mac Bergen says, no, sad that night.

You miss.

Yeah, it was been up there for a long time.

No, what would Michael Blast ask?

What polish are you using on the windshield there?

Lucas.

I was using a wool pad with penis rehab.

Heck yeah.

I'll throw this comment back up so Anthony doesn't get mad at me.

Sad that night of the 17.

I know that's what I'm saying, Mac.

Like I, we're, we're on episode five last week.

And I'm like, there's one episode left.

Are you freaking kidding me?

Like I'm just like getting really into it.

And now it's ending.

This is how they do it, man.

The freaking Game of Thrones franchise is full of crap.

I mean, those guys, they create these amazing shows and then they say,

Hey, we'll see you again in two years for season number or whatever.

Two years.

My kids are going to be double in age by then, right?

I love that.

It's insane.

Anyways, sickening what they can do on HBO.

Alcline Trio says, speaking of Carson, my RS4 was in the shop yesterday.

Oh no.

For a new axle, as a Subaru owner, they, they had a repair bill double

because they were trying to fix a leak, all the leaks it had.

Wow.

No, that stinks.

Don't buy a Subaru.

Buy an Audi.

I wouldn't buy it.

I don't know what the answer is actually.

All right, Sydney.

Sit.

All right.

SPG, how well does Amplify play with Stout Defender and Beadmaker?

I don't have any problem with it.

I use all of those.

So my personal vehicle has Stout on parts of it.

It has Defender on parts.

It has Beadmaker on parts.

And I use Amplify all the time.

It all honestly plays just fine.

Yeah.

And Max says, this ceramic coated my mom's car for her eighth birthday.

She's brought it to all her friends.

That's awesome, Max.

Yeah, that's awesome.

That's really cool.

What a gift.

That's a good gift.

He also said that he's all ducked out, meaning I'm thinking, I think Max misses Dane.

Yeah.

I think, yeah.

And that's okay.

Yeah.

All right, Anthony.

What have we got?

From now on.

I'm a weekend warrior and plan to polish my new car once it arrives.

Congratulations.

How many pads should I have on hand?

What's the best way to clean them as I move through each panel?

So Neil, if you don't already have a stock of pads, I recommend, you know,

obviously stocking up.

And I probably have a couple variations of what you deem as being, you know,

your kind of new car polish.

You don't need to go crazy.

I mean, ideally, the more clear that you leave on the paint,

the better you are off long-term, especially if it's going to be a longer-term investment.

I would recommend having probably, depending on the size of the car,

you want probably a minimum of four pads.

I mean, you could have up to more than that, but two is going to be too less,

two is going to be too little.

Three, there's a chance one's going to fall on the ground.

You're going to like have to like clean it.

Four to six.

So if you have four, you're probably going to be able to do no problem.

If you have four, actually, what's nice is that you'll be able to cycle through

them cleaning, right?

Because I'm guessing you probably don't have a pad cleaner or anything like that.

So you could simply use them, you know, before they get too hot and no delamination issues,

and cycle through them, rinse them out, a little bit of APC,

rinse them under the sink, a little bit of a spray nozzle, give them a quick ring,

let them air dry them, throw them back into the mix as you're polishing through.

I like to do one corner.

So like if you had a bird's eye view of the vehicle, you break it up into quarters.

So one each quarter minimum.

But like Anthony said, having a backup of one or two is key.

And then the other factor too, like in the situation of this Corolla,

realistically, we use, I mean, technically, you could do eight on this if you're doing a

two step.

So yeah, it just varies based off of what your vehicle needs.

All right, Sid, Hydra.

Hydra, a detailed question.

I like how he puts that in caps.

I love that.

Like we're doing the real stuff.

It is, is it possible to see Lucas blow out the pad with the TRC mini air blaster to show everyone

a big tornado isn't always needed like that for pads?

So you want me to blow out a pad?

Sorry, let me read that.

So can you just want to see blow out a pad with the mini?

Can you come in front of this camera and grab the mini blaster and blow out your pad?

Like in front of this camera?

Yeah, that's a good idea.

He's on it.

They're probably the front view of the Corolla there.

Yeah, right there to that camera to your left.

Okay, you guys ready for this?

Let's see.

There we go.

I just realized one more time.

Nice.

There we go.

It works.

Works great.

Perfect.

All right.

There you go.

Super RADo2K here for all the shenanigans while driving to Memphis.

What's so funny?

Super.

It's super RADo.

Oh, super RADo.

Owl.

Did I say super RADo?

It's a long time fan of the show.

He's been here for many years.

I'm sorry, Owl.

I'm sorry.

All right.

Here you go, Dane.

I'm throwing up your comments.

I'm here.

The company is a husband slash wife team.

They have an employee named Byrne who has been doing

has been doing the majority of the work this week.

Oh, my gosh.

And he's been awesome.

Crap.

I thought you said,

Glenn told us fun with an F.

I guess that's a crazy name.

But is he really 70 or 80?

Glenn is saying that Dane mist texted her and said it was fun.

Well, it goes back to the whole how Dane pronounces things, right?

This is the Roof Roof situation.

And maybe Byrne sounds like Byrne.

Anyways, well, Dane, I'm happy to hear that the deck's coming along.

And, you know, yeah.

He's, yeah.

Tip well.

Dan says, is there something to invest in a quality tool?

It's the air compressor.

If there is something to invest in, yeah.

I agree.

That is definitely like when I'm trying to help

detailers figure out what things to invest in initially,

the air compressor is definitely one of them that I say don't cheap out on.

Yeah.

For sure.

And pressure washer.

One thing I'll throw this out.

Just this is something I've been kind of experimenting with.

I mean, yeah, kind of experimenting with.

So we know that an air blaster in the process of, you know,

blasting air creates a vortex of air.

It uses the cone as well as, you know, the spindle there to basically create this wonderful

vortex of air that sucks things out of carpet fabric and blows things out, you know, at a

certain distance.

So for people who don't have an air compressor and still want some of the effects of being able

to blow out an interior, right?

Because when you're blowing out an interior, especially if you're doing a quick detailed

job, oftentimes you're grabbing the, you know, ultra ultra air gun and you're going through

and you're blasting out the top of a dash or blasting a door panels.

Maybe it's the side armrests areas.

Maybe it's between the seats.

And what you're trying to do is get movement to a lot of the particulates.

You're already trying to dislodge a lot of the dust, a lot of the debris,

and you're simply just trying to displace it so it can be blown out in a following blast, right?

You're just trying to get as much out of the vehicle as you can.

Or consolidate a lot of it to where you can vacuum it up, right?

So again, so the whole point is you are trying to move something for it to eventually be removed.

So with the air blaster, it requires that you have a compressor.

And we know that in order to have a consistent stream of air, you need a larger compressor

and you need to plan, you know, where you're starting, where you're ending.

And even if you have a small compressor, right?

You have to kind of plan on the refills, right?

Okay, I'm going to blow out this wheel well.

It's going to do a good job.

Now I have to plan on that refilling for more to, for me to go further.

The metro blaster, the handheld metro blaster, right?

The small little guy.

It's when we sell it on the right company.com.

It's just a small handheld blaster that comes to a conical tube at the end

for blowing out debris out of a vehicle.

That little blaster does a good job.

Does 80% of the job that the ultra air blaster can do.

Minus the dislodging dirt and debris from more embedded, you know, into carpet and whatnot.

So if you're trying to, again, you have a backseat, right?

It's got half a box of cheez-its crushed and crumbled on the backseat, right?

Yeah.

The little metro blaster handheld, which is electric or just plugs into your,

you know, electrical cord will blow out that amount just as much as an air blaster would.

So it's kind of, it's kind of a option wise instead of going, you know,

if you don't have necessarily the means or even the space for a big compressor

for like an air blaster or anything like that.

You can, I think what Anthony is also throwing out as an idea,

the metro metro air blaster is another great option if he can find it.

He's going to look.

I'll let him.

He's getting close, I feel.

Person, where did he put it somewhere?

I don't know.

All right, we're going to go, we're going to go to the next question.

Unless you want to, you want to go further in depth on that?

No, no, it just, it's just, is that what you were saying?

Yeah, basically what I'm trying to say, yeah, in a big full circle thing is that if

a compressor is something that you don't necessarily have room for or you don't have

the budget for, it's something that you just, you don't see yourself using as often,

but your whole goal is just to really blow out an interior, blow out something.

Yeah.

That little metro blaster works amazing for that.

It does the exact same thing, minus dislodging stuff.

And could you still blow your carpet out with it?

Yeah, absolutely.

You could still blow it and still take a vacuum there.

It's just, now it's electric powered and it's got a filter on it and it works great

and you don't have to think about a compressor and all you're going to have is just a extension cord.

So that, I just, we've never framed it like that before.

I've never, I've never even like talked about that.

That's what you can use it for.

But I've been doing that at the house because my compressor, while I do have a blaster and I can,

I can run things on there, I have that little like metro thing like, like plugged in like

all the time for just random cleaning of other random things.

So I just plug it in really quick, walk out to my wife's car with my daughter's crumbs everywhere

and I just turn it on, blow everything out.

And you're good.

And that does everything I need it to do minus me pulling out my hose reel for my air gut,

for my air thing, filling it up, plugging my air blaster in.

And I'm not trying to scourage sales from the Algeria blaster.

I'm just trying to say that there is a affordable option that we also sell that is electric,

that will still do 80% of the job.

I actually really liked that.

I didn't think about that.

It's kind of hitting me as an aha moment right now.

And I believe it even comes, you can even buy like a, it's called, it's like a,

Like a crevice.

Yeah.

What it does is it's a reducer, right?

That goes from even being the cone to being an even smaller reducer.

So now you have like a pinpoint blast.

So if you are blasting out anywhere between seats, you can still have that power.

Lucas, is there, oh, he's busy.

I'm going to see if I can just find one really quick.

All right.

Hydra says, what does Hydra say there said?

It's speaking to Neil.

If it was me, I would buy seven pads and then put them in the washing machine after

or use a pad washer and wait until the first pads are dry.

I think, I think Steve Pearson has a video to make a cheap one.

Usually you're going to be good on a car with seven pads.

I am right about seven, eight pads.

So, you know, it, and especially on a brand new car,

like that's what stuck out to me about Neil's question was that it was on a new car.

A new car is going to go a lot further than if you're doing an older car that has oxidation,

because as we know, as you're polishing those pads become saturated with not only your product,

but actual clear coat that you're removing.

So the longer you spend on that panel, say these panels,

we spent two to three times more time and effort on those panels than you would a new car.

So it also is going to depend.

So for a new car, I mean, four to six is still going to be great.

I go through eight because, you know, I like a new pad every panel.

But yeah, if you have seven, you're probably going to be able to make it through the entire car.

When I was early in my learning phase, I experienced the importance of having more

pads because I would end up heat cycling a pad and it would cause it to delaminate.

So it's just one of those things.

But yeah, ideally four to the minimum is what I would say minimum.

And then Hydra also says back to kind of Anthony's question is if he's a DIY,

not a pro detailer doing many cars, I can understand there's quite expensive to run torn doors,

et cetera.

Yes, it is.

Or even if you had a pancake compressor and you were running it,

it's just a pain because you're having to sit as your compressor's power cycling.

Yeah.

That's the pain.

And I think for me too, I look at all the different functions of detailing and I use

my air compressor for a lot more than just the tornado.

I use it to blow out my pads.

I use it to blow out the carpet.

I use it to fill tires full of air.

I use it to fill up my IK sprayers.

So I use my compressor for a lot more than just the blowing function.

So yeah, these are great.

Yeah.

So here's to kind of show you.

So we have these at theradcomedy.com.

This is again, probably like 90% or 80% of what you'll probably need in terms of just

blowing out an interior and making quick work of it, especially like we get it, right?

When you're detailing and you're detailing, you know, like my wife's car, for example,

there's so many.

There's French fries.

There's all this stuff where I don't want to suck it up with a rigid rack.

Like I go, I could suck this up.

I'm going to get a clog.

I'm going to have to empty out all this crap I don't want to.

I just want to blow it out onto the floor and I'll sweep it up and then deal with it later.

So this right here, again, it's got this nice, you know, conical tube here at the end.

And this can be swapped out.

You can swap this out with something different if you want to.

But there you can.

That's rubberized, which is really cool.

Yep.

This is rubberized.

So you can put a reducer on it or whatever you want to do there.

But then here at the bottom here, you do have your your foam filter.

So this is going to be a replaceable filter that you can just clean out and just wash with water.

And then you can put back in there.

So you are getting some filtered air, which is quite nice.

So and then with time to it, like it just because the the motor and whatnot,

it will kind of start producing some warmer, hotter air.

So what I like is in the past, we've kind of said, hey, this is something you can use when,

you know, drying off your car and you can blow out cracks and crevices.

It's great for wheels.

It's great for it's the best thing for motorcycles.

Like I that's why I have it is because I can't, you know, I can't live without it for my motorcycle

stuff because it blows out motorcycles way better than many goblower does.

And so this is what I primarily use for a lot of that.

But interiors, man, again, I wish I wish there was a way to show

off how well this blows out interior stuff, especially once it's plugged in and you just

literally flick this thing on, bam, turn it on, get in there, your seats, cracks, crevices,

and then dislodge everything and then vacuum it up at the very end.

And it's great for that.

So so we'll do that there.

So you guys can see that.

And Tamara says, Lucas always does an awesome job.

He sure does both at detailing and as servicing our customers.

Yep.

Hydra says a traumatic reaction of full send gold.

Sydney.

All right. WMSN Snyder Photo says, great job, guys.

Is there a way to get really small chips out of glass?

Not really.

But guess what?

I was just doing some rock chip repair on a glass out literally just before the show started.

That's crazy.

I got like a, I had a, so I'll do windshield repair where I'll do like some rock chips and whatever.

And so I had one that I filled last year on my truck and it actually was,

was a perfect job minus the fact that there was one air bubble that I just couldn't get out.

So what happened was the air bubble broke free and then it broke off a piece of that

chip that I had filled.

So I was just trying to repair that out there before the show started.

And that's the best way to do it.

I would pick up a little Raynex windshield repair kit like $10.

And what you do is something that's a small little chip like that.

You clean it out really well.

You can take the actual end of a razor blade and just kind of like scrape out that glass,

clean it out.

And then take a little IPA, a little ice bubble alcohol, wipe that area out.

And then what you're going to do is just drop in either drop in with the a suction

dropper, your resin, or you can actually just do a drop of resin and then take one of their

little clear film sheets, put it right over the top and then let UV cure it.

It'll become unnoticeable.

One millimeter.

That'll become unnoticeable with a little windshield repair kit.

That's awesome.

We've got someone in the chat saying, I definitely want a mini creeper.

I'm surprised Lucas isn't creeping right now.

Lucas, why aren't you creeping?

Hi, I know.

I just got a moment.

He's in the zone right now.

He is focused.

And I tell you what, those panels are looking glossy.

Trying to pick up the pace a bit.

Chair's going to slow me down.

You're doing good.

And it looks like we got full sun Carson in the house as well.

He is prepping windshield and trim is my guess.

He's hungry for it.

Next up here we've got Mr. G. Davis there said.

All right.

I have an unopened bottle of ADS paint coating.

I bought it about a year ago and I wasn't able to use it last year.

Is it still good to use after a year or so?

Yeah, it should be.

Totally fine.

Yeah.

And Hydra also comes back there.

Anthony, detail fun question.

What's your number one detail that you won't forget?

Product name would be nice to have.

Details by understanding if you choose to avoid not brand bash.

What is your number?

Some may think.

Like is it?

So what?

Are you, I guess my question is, is this like number one detailing brand?

He must mean number one product that you won't forget.

And the product name would be nice to have.

But if you, but I understand if you choose to avoid to not brand bash.

So he, I think he's saying.

They're all really good.

That's a hard thing.

Hydra, I need a little, can you?

Yeah, I mean, because, because if you're saying like,

what's the one detail product you won't forget, like mine would,

would just be an answer, but it wouldn't be bashing it.

Yeah.

You know, next up, I already did that one.

Hold on.

Sorry.

I'm in between pages.

This is right.

David Boyce.

I heard a rumor.

The Drifter movie involved Sun King traveling to Tokyo from Tokyo to Boise.

Oh gosh.

I got excited.

I thought this was like, I know.

I thought so too.

I thought it was like a real thing.

I thought it was too.

And I read the rest of it.

Traveling from Tokyo to Boise to kick Anthony out of the Midnight Club

because he has not driven his Evo for over four years.

Sun King took his car.

I thought you were saying that Sun King really did come to Boise.

I was like freaking thrilled.

Again, that was the first, was one of the first stars I've seen where I was starstruck.

Wow.

I was, I couldn't say anything.

I was just like, I was like shocked.

The only thing fast and furious about that was Anthony's temperament

knowing that this movie is not happening.

No, not that.

That joke.

Let's go over to, uh...

Please keep up the debt.

Don't encourage him.

Yeah, keep up the debt.

Next up.

Okay.

We got a Hydra back.

I think they have Dutch hard style song about Nike Air Max S.

Huh, sick.

Send it to me.

I hear that.

I think we need that.

All right.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Where's Joey Balinsky today?

Has anybody seen him?

JB.

Like he's missing.

Next up.

I'm looking.

Give me a sec.

I'm between pages there, Anthony.

Uh, is that an AI joke?

Okay.

Yeah.

Here we go.

Lasses says, uh, Steve Pearson, good to hear.

I was just looking for the video yesterday and couldn't find it.

So they're talking about, I think, the window or pad?

I think they're talking about his pad cleaner.

Got it, got it.

Here you go, Anthony.

This one's a good one for you.

We all know that, we all know this isn't the last hand you're looking at.

That's true.

And then, uh, going off of that, Ron says this, said...

Matt, here is a pair of my jeans.

I think they'll fit you.

That, Ron, that is literally what happened.

Oh, God.

That he can joke around about all you want.

That happened.

That is exactly what happened.

That's so funny.

Mr. Dewar, the foot cam returns without Dane.

What a time to be alive.

No, the foot cam isn't the same without Dane.

We need...

Oh man.

And then we got some Japanese denim.

Anthony isn't boring.

Now, I never said Anthony is definitely not boring.

It's just he goes super, he goes super in depth about everything.

They try to make it exciting when I do what I do.

Well, he goes in depth about everything he's interested in.

Let me just say that.

Next up.

Eric says, KCX and Adams Waterless, a combo promoted, uh, promoted

by Out of Spec detailing, works well.

I still prefer blasting with BH Traceless and follow-up with Reflect.

That's interesting.

So, you know, KCX Glass Cleaner is, has some, we'll call it friction modifiers in there

to actually make that the glass cleaning a smoother wipe off compared to a normal glass cleaner.

So, you'll actually just get out of the bottle, KCX Glass Cleaner is great.

It actually, again, it will, it provides a little bit of glide in,

and when you're doing it and it makes things feel a little bit slick.

I've never tested with the Waterless Wash combo by Adams,

but I do love the way that their Waterless Wash smells.

It's amazing.

So, I would try that just to see what happened.

Yeah.

There you go.

G Davis said.

I'm mostly leg, said Anthony, to the judges at South Boise Rodeo Trials.

Holy crap, man.

Oh, man.

Tug R, did Gabe just give Anthony a soft adiation to type notes?

Yeah, I don't think I needed Gabe to give me that, but I mean, yeah, for sure.

And then we got Dane, Carson screaming from the other room at Subaru Slander.

Carson's coming around to understand it.

Yeah, Carson's trying to sell his Subaru.

He's trying to get out of it.

He knows.

He understands.

Not about the Subaru life.

He's not about it.

He is.

He's not even about the BMW life.

He's not.

He doesn't really, he don't really know what he's about.

I think, I think either a Toyota or a Honda are in his future.

He's in a fact finding is what he, what he is.

It's, this is like a self-reflection.

He's trying to find himself.

And it's self-reflection starts with a P and it ends with an E. Am I right, Carson?

What?

A Passat?

Yeah.

He agrees with me.

Passat.

That doesn't end with an E.

Doesn't it?

No.

Oh, no, it doesn't.

Oh, it's Porsche.

Oh, it's not a Porsche.

Come on.

He doesn't need that.

He'll slow today.

That's okay.

Next up.

I got it.

Yeah, you got it, said.

G Davis says, big thumbs down to whoever deleted the wonderful and well-written

Kathy Bates joke.

I would love to hear it.

G.

I didn't.

Dane probably did it.

Dane.

Big thumbs down.

She's your biggest fan.

Oh, no.

Kathy Bates?

Yeah.

Next up.

All right, said.

All right.

Vin from 360 said, good afternoon, guys.

I just ran into something new for me.

I did an interior detail on a truck about two weeks ago.

The customer said I missed a couple spots and broke this

speedometer rest reset knob.

Geez, I can't read.

Well, that's interesting.

So here's my advice on this.

And this will always be at my advice is this is why you take this.

He's got a part two.

Okay.

So let's see what the part two, but yeah, you got.

I offered to fix the spots and have my mechanic repair the knob or even give a full refund,

but he declined everything and doesn't want me touching the truck again.

What would you do?

So this is where you have to get good about taking all before and after photos.

Because if you had the before photos, it would show the condition of the knob

and the speedometer and things like that.

So I have definitely been in positions before where I think I told the story a couple months ago,

but I had thought that one of my cleaners ate through some piano stuff in a Toyota Highlander

and I totally freaked out after it was cleaned and I thought it was my fault.

And I was actually a lawyer's car.

I thought I was going to die.

But then when I went back and looked at my before photos,

you could see through the dirt and grime that that had delaminated already.

So this was just my insurance policy.

I didn't say anything, but I knew that if the customer said anything about that area,

that I'd be like, Oh, well, actually it was on, you know, the before.

And so when she showed up, she actually pointed it out and she goes, Oh, did you see this?

I spilled essential oils right here.

So she actually pointed it out to me, but at least I had in my mind,

I had stopped panicking that, you know, I had those before photos.

So this is the exact reason right here why we take before photos,

no matter how insignificant that we think they are.

Yeah.

Because there was crazy people out there.

Trust me, man, when you, you'll make the car better.

And what you'll do is you'll reveal more dense.

You're going to reveal maybe deeper scratches that weren't there in a polish.

An interior clean may show.

Cracks in the seats.

Pilling cracks in the seats.

It could show a lot of different things.

And if you're crazy, like somebody like myself, right?

And you start wondering, was this there before?

Or was this, you know, taking a quick picture solves all of that.

I mean, it's literally something as a quick snap because the phones are so good.

Now you could zoom in and you can see the cracks or the dirt or the broken knob or whatever.

Yeah.

So what I would do right now with the position that you're in,

if he doesn't want you touching the truck again, you'd need to ask him,

so what's he want to do?

Is he want to take it to get it fixed?

Does he want to get that knob repaired?

You could try to find some solutions.

Or you could even offer, hey, this one's on the house.

I call it, you know.

Well, he said he can offer him a full refund.

He said he offered him a full refund.

That's tough.

I think it's just a, you know, it's a tough lesson to learn.

But pictures are key.

I agree with what these guys say is taking pictures before.

That's what I've always done when I detail a car.

Yeah.

No.

And he also responded with sorry, long message, but don't be sorry.

That's what we're here for.

Yeah.

Anyway, we can help.

We're sorry that happened.

Yeah.

Essentially.

All right, Anthony.

I'm so glad to see Lucas is back this week and detailing another daily driver.

I'm glad everyone else is back as well after last week's shenanigans.

So can I ask a question?

I mean, obviously after the show, Dane posted that picture

the before and after and the car actually turned out great.

It did.

I mean, it really did in all seriousness.

But my question is, is how has that car held up this week?

Because we had major rain last weekend and then we had snow yesterday.

Has anybody seen it?

Yeah, I have.

It looks great.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay.

Does it really?

I swear to you.

So he was pulling up to yesterday.

We pulled him to work at the same time and he was coming.

He was like cresting the hill, right?

And at first I was like, oh, that's the, you know, at first I'm like,

There's the Honda.

For some reason, like I go there and it wasn't, there's the Honda.

It was, oh, there's a, there's a, there's a clean little green Accord, right?

I didn't even think that it was Brennan's car.

Okay.

Like I didn't even cross my mind that that was Brennan.

It is saw a little green Accord and it looks shiny.

I go, I shine a little green Accord and I go, it's Brennan's car.

Okay.

Because we thought it would look good.

Yeah.

Because we thought it would look melted.

But yeah.

Everything looks great.

Cool.

Perfect.

I like how the commenters, just kudos to you guys.

I like how you guys are putting in all caps, like a disclaimer of what this,

this, this comment is going to be about.

It's just, I love it.

Girl talk from tug.

Is the pre-vost high flow coupler worth the cost of admission?

Um, are you?

I don't know what that is.

Is that the, is that the, uh, the pre-vost?

Pre-vost high flow.

She's, they're referring to the, the couple we have.

Yeah, that one.

I don't know.

It's sometimes it works great, but to be quite honest, I like my traditional one better.

Give me, give me a, give me a pull back and lock it.

Yeah.

Because this one, this one you lock it in and sometimes it doesn't seed and it's just super

loud.

It's like, I have to put like a hundred pounds of force just to give that thing.

I know.

And they don't like it.

I don't know.

It's, I don't know.

And then Dane, looks like it could be Anthony's uncle or something.

Who's he talking about?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

Oh, look at Dane even has another one, but he put question.

A question.

I love that.

Dane has a question.

What is the type of detail task you did once and realized you never wanted to do again?

Um, a minivan?

Oh, I got one.

The whole minivan.

What depends on what kind, right?

Somebody's most minivans.

Um, mine is sap.

I, oh, I love sap.

I hate it.

I had a detail.

It was a black, uh, Volkswagen Toreg.

I think it was what it was.

And it had sap on the roof, on the hood, everywhere.

And the paint also really sucked.

But the sap was like, it was the small little sap.

And I literally, you like the whole thing as bad as that.

Oh, wow.

I know it sounds terrible, but it was so.

I tried every trick in the book, no monitor.

I mean, I was Ulexing and Plastic KCX late.

Don't ever want to do that again.

Yeah.

Or I guess I would say the other one too is removing PPF with Anthony on an old RSX bumper.

Oh, I did that too.

And you did that too.

Called in the girls, remember?

Yeah, called in the girls.

That was pretty awful also.

That was actually probably one of the worst things I actually agreed with you.

That was pretty bad.

Like that was beyond removal stage.

And we were just trying to salvage it just to see what's the worst case scenario of PPF removal.

And that was outside of, actually it was cracked though.

It was not just, it was cracked too.

So it was probably one of the worst cases of PPF removal.

The worst.

And I guess the reason why I don't like it is because once you start introducing so much

adhesive remover to what you're trying to preserve in the first place, you go,

this seems counterintuitive, right?

I'm trying to preserve the paint and remove this PPF that was there to preserve the paint.

And in the process of trying to keep the paint nice,

I'm using an excessive amount of softens and softening the clear coat.

And I'm having to pick at things with my nails and I go, at the end of the day,

I am ultimately damaging this paint more than I am trying to help it and restore it.

I would beg the question, you mentioned it.

A lot of people do full PPF, right?

Look at, look at Matt right now, right?

You do full PPF, same thing to protect your paint.

Yeah.

But you eventually have to take it off.

So the question is, is it really worth going through that process?

I would rather fix a lot chip than having to deal with a full PPF removal and pulling paint.

So I have to fix, so I have to take, so Katie's forerunner now, we're coming up on,

granted it's garage most of the time, we're coming up on, where are we at now?

It's 2018, it's 2006 now, eight years, coming up on eight years.

We're reaching that perfect, you know, up to about 10 years.

You know that that's going to remove hopefully pretty well without too much, you know,

that being too, too, too difficult.

We're reaching that point where I'm going to have to remove it.

I'm not going to read PPF it, right?

I'm mostly worried about it because it's a half hood.

Yeah.

And while it sits stored inside, it's still a half hood.

So you don't know what condition it's going to bring when you pull it.

Because it still had a lot of heat from underneath.

It's just, I understand why PPF is good.

I just question it after being the one having to pull it,

and the potential insurance policy of pulling paint.

That's, that's by only two cents on that, but I'll let that go.

Juan is responding to Vin about the broken odomer.

He's just basically saying if he refused to do all the things that you're willing to do,

as far as he's concerned, he'd be done with the guy.

That's fair.

Sorry, I'm trying to find the ones.

Here's a good one.

Go ahead, Anthony.

Is a wet dry vac hooked up on the exhaust side to blow enough to clean pads?

Oh, you're talking about on a vacuum?

No.

It won't, you need.

You're just going to blow some air.

It's not really going to force it into the.

Yeah, it's at that point you need such a targeted amount of air,

or at least such like an initial hard blast, that's what's going to clean us.

And going off of Nils, here's another question about pad cleaning.

He's asking, essentially, can you use one pad just to clean the pad using the

Lake Country pad cleaning system?

No, no, no.

No, and the reason is because of heat buildup in the pad.

That's not so much the cleaning, but also if you're using that pad and you've cleaned it once,

and then you use it again, and then you clean it again, the more water you introduce,

the more saturated that pad's going to become.

But also it's, you're going to burn up the back of that pad, I promise you.

What's going to happen is because you're going through heat cycles and cooling cycles with

pad cleaning, the chance of delamination of the backing material is exceptionally high.

Because you were basically, you're shrinking and expanding,

and shrinking and expanding these foam properties in such a short period of time

that that's what happened.

So, well, yes, you can do it.

That pad would be absolutely done and may not even get you through the full detail.

I'm telling you out of experience, I did this in the very first beginnings of polishing,

and I destroyed so many pads, both combination of delamination on the backing,

but even in the foam cracking.

So that is why it's important to have multiple pads that last a whole heck of a lot longer.

Yeah, and the other thing is I always break down detailing products in price per use, right?

So if you use one pad on one car, I promise you that thing's going to be cooked at the end.

So you're talking $14 to $22 a pad.

So your cost now for that detail is now $14 to $22 just for the pad.

If you invest in six pads at $14, you're, you know, right around what?

Let's just say you invest $100 into pads.

You're probably going to be able to polish, I mean,

20, 30 cars with those six pads.

So now your price per use of that pad and or, you know, what you actually paid

in materials for that car is significantly less.

So that's how I always break stuff down is price per use.

And the less wear and tear you put on your pad at that one given time

where you can clean it properly, let it cool properly, dry properly,

you're going to get so many more uses out of that pad.

Perfect.

All right.

So we are down to just a few more minutes.

I'm going to try to let's, let's, yeah, because we are on page two.

Let's get to page one.

So we got Wisconsin weekend warrior.

Hello everyone.

We've got Hydra also mentioning, what does he say there, Anthony?

Accept a very low budget job in the very beginning because the customer said it's

not that bad, paint was terrific and the clear was already thin plus soft.

Yeah, that's always tough.

We did get a comment from Mike and he really likes the little MetroVac.

You just showed.

And you can't kill him.

Like we spend the hundreds, I think they're 150 bucks,

160 bucks, it'll last you probably the rest of your life.

Yeah, yeah.

There's no maintenance that has to be done.

You just use it until it, I mean, it will never die.

No white, vomit, never again, gross.

We got another MetroVac there.

Anthony, what do they say?

He mentioned the MetroVac is good for cracks and crevices,

but I didn't hear any comments on how well it works on the nooks and crannies.

We've got nooks and crevices.

Yep.

We got Mr. Dane.

I love to hear about the distinctions.

Is there in nooks and crannies and cracks and crevices?

That one through Dane for a loop.

Okay.

All right.

Not sure.

Just presuming different exists.

Okay.

And then we got Dane going again.

I figured you just want to see someone try it.

So how far out are we?

We're on page one now.

Nice.

Okay, cool.

But we only have two minutes, so we got.

Cool.

All right.

Next up here, we've got

Amber says, Chelsea for attention to details.

Use the handheld MetroVac versus the McGee brand, McGee's.

McGee's?

McGee's, I'm assuming.

Branded to blow out interiors for a long time.

She recently got a compressor.

Okay.

Oh, nice.

Said.

All right.

Minnesota checking in via Sioux Falls.

Nice.

That was DIY with Kane.

And then we're on Anthony.

How many people look at the vehicle prior to quoting a price or accepting the job?

That's a great question.

I should do that more.

Yeah.

I don't necessarily, I definitely do ask them about the condition.

Most of the people that, you know, contact me at this point in my career because it's

primarily referral based.

I don't really get too many people with, you know, really, really poor condition vehicles.

And if I do, they let me know ahead of time.

And so I'll usually give them a starting at price.

And then I let them know all the reasons that it could go up from there.

So, but I definitely don't quote a hard solid price.

And if somebody comes and they say, hey, I inherited my mom's car and it's got a lot of

scratches, I'll usually have them stop by to talk about options beforehand for sure.

And we got another one off that.

I quit doing cheap client cars for these reasons.

Alkaline also has a good question, Anthony.

If I have a touch list, do I need a dedicated salt remover product?

Yeah, you can still get one if you wanted to.

I mean, touch list is, touch list is going to do a pretty good job at least dislodging

some of that.

And I don't want to say neutralizing, but it's going to do something for sure.

If you want to spray the undercarriage with it.

Yeah, I, it's tough, Dan.

I don't know.

I do.

I mean, I, I use something like GreenStar or something, you know, as just a pre spray.

I do a pre spray more than necessarily a dedicated salt remover product.

I don't necessarily, I wouldn't put it that way, but do I do a pre spray?

I would be curious to see like touch list or built hammer touch list specifically.

Like what is the, what, what is the effect on that on winter salt?

Like if there's somebody that could do a test, I'd be super interested to see like,

because that's a sugar based like essentially a snow foam that is higher in alkalinity.

And you can dilute it depending on what you like, you need your in your panel impact ratio

to be right.

So there's a certain point probably going to be some higher effectiveness on salt.

I just don't know what the heck it is, but GreenStar for everybody else that's just a,

I love it.

Yeah.

Spray and pray you're, that's it.

Yeah.

We're doing Amazon live on that today.

All right.

I got two more questions and then we'll go over to Lucas and get a status.

It looks like they're going to be working through the show through the end.

So we'll hit this.

We got Dan's diamond detailing said pads are not cheap.

Learn how to clean them because they will go a long way.

Amen to that.

And then we'll finish off with Steve Pearson there, Anthony.

Pro tip, best way to prevent high spots when putting a vehicle,

hit thumbs up on this videos.

You'll never get high.

That's true.

That is true.

That's true.

Yeah.

It's not possible if you like this and you subscribe to our channel.

So Lucas, we were passing over to you and we're going to get some final thoughts on how

things have gone, what your favorite part of the process has been and what do you think?

Oh man.

So I'm running a little behind as you can see, but I got this door panel and this door panel

should finish it up for the day.

It's been a pretty fun process.

I think, oh, we need to address the tires too, just to really lock in the look.

But you know, it's been pretty straightforward.

You've been working your tail off.

It's been a hard chase, but we got it.

That should be good.

Yeah, because you did a great job, man.

It's really good.

80s pro in the house.

Yeah, you did really, really good.

So good work on that.

And as soon as this concludes, we'll come out there as well and help you finish that out.

As always, guys, thank you so much for tuning in to this week's Q&A Thursday.

Next week, we should have Dane back in the house.

That way you get, well, you're all old faithful, trusty, almighty Dane in the house.

So these two can talk movies more so than what it's supposed to mean.

I don't know what it means.

But just a couple of quick reminders.

Don't forget to put on your calendars, March 30th through April 2nd.

That is the big show known as TRCMA happening right here at the RAD Company,

where you can ask questions to all your favorite detailing companies.

So you're going to want to make sure that you follow us right here on the YouTube channel.

And always, as always, comment, leave us some questions.

We love answering those.

Dane specifically.

I'm just kidding.

Also, Anthony.

And as always, guys, we will see you next week on the next Q&A.

See you soon.

See you.
