DETAILING Q&A: Washing a Well-Loved Honda for Valentine's Day while Answering Questions

Why hello hello and welcome to another Q&A Thursday. I am your host Gabe Garcia and to

my left we have Mr. Anthony Fisher. Gabriel thank you so much for that wonderful

introduction you're still getting it. Well I don't want to say that hey hey hey

like I'm not working on it. Yep yep and then and to our right we have Miss

Sydney Bray Gwynn aka SPG. Thanks Gabe. You're welcome. I'm excited to be here. And in the

wash bay we have the almighty Lucas Blaine who has quite the challenge in

front of him for today's Q&A. Thanks so much for having me Gabe. I look forward to

it quite a bit. We look forward to seeing what you are going to do to make this

Honda look well somewhat okay. So with that what are you going to do today

because oh my gosh this car is needing some love. You're telling me man. So what

we're going to do is I think we're going to bust out these headlights because I

don't know if you can see them. They're not clear. They're yellow and oxidized

and faded. We don't like them. So we're going to get those cleaned up. Wheels and

tires a little bit of ADS action of course. Some beads for some quick

protection. Some decon soap because I don't know if you can see this thing. It's

going to cut it. So we're going to bust up the pH a little bit and then what

we're going to do is get some Amplify on that bad Mamma Gemma. Maybe try to put

some gloss in here and then yeah then we're going to coat them with some

phobic. Do a little bit of trim plus action. Lucas I have a question for you.

Do you feel like you were set up for success on this project today? Well it's

funny you say that because I selected everything here so I'd say I'm pretty set

up for success. Okay I like the confidence in that. We believe in you. We are

excited for you. Oh my goodness. Yep. Alright I'm going to jump into it. So

Lucas I mean I understand that when you're not servicing your customers

right you're laying down the law with some good old fashioned detail. That's

what they said. I broke it. Oh we're good. Some good old fashioned detailing I was

saying and with that said right with a car like this this I'm assuming this is

not a normal client of yours right that will bring in something of this nature

but this is something truthfully that some people will be willing to pay to

get it detailed right there actually are few instances of people who say hey I

understand looks like this. Let's just say very few instances. Let's see what it

is very few. Let's see what can be done right. They don't really realize the

extent of the clear coat damage and understand the oxidation. How would they

not realize it's not there. The amount of dents and things like that. Well believe

it or not Gabriel back in the day when cars were oxidized or cars had even

beginning bits of clear coat failure and stuff like that there were products

that had enough fillers enough like glazing capabilities to make it look

like it was to be able to make it look like it was okay passable don't they

have those like I don't know cloths or the there's a there's a company out there

and I wipe on clear coat yeah that's what it is yeah so wipe on clear coat very

much exists and yeah while I am not a fan and advocate of wipe on clear coat

truthfully unless this car was ever going to get repainted which I think we're

which we might be doing to this car okay well I don't know if it were to never

get repainted and that's the best it was ever gonna look right yeah I would put

wipe on clear coat on that and I wouldn't say how long would how long does

wipe on clear coat last and I'm just ask he doesn't really years years I mean

years until you either either sand it off or you I mean I'd let or unless it

doesn't adhere stick but wipe on clear coat usually there's enough solvent in

there to really bite on to whatever usually you know self-leveling and it's

a new layer of clear right so you're gonna get a does it hide all of the like so

would not it would not you'll still see the white the white the white would be

reduced probably by 50% should be reduced quite a bit yeah in the areas where

it's just pure base coat it would make a massive difference yeah you go over that

and yeah it's gonna look like it's probably been repainted the existing

clear coat yeah I mean it could add a little bit of something to it but like

scratches and stuff like that it'll fill to a certain extent I won't fill all of

it but what I'm trying to say is that this right here is so bad realistically

it's one step away from wipe on clear coat or a junkyard and I mean that in

the nicest way it's just there's not much you can do unless you're willing to

say it has massive sentimental value this 1997 accord it's a 99 99 sorry 99

okay correct it is 99 because it's the updated yeah so 99 if this has

sentimental value and you're like hey I got to keep it on the road I'm gonna

repaint it cool then you're gonna repaint it so the owner of this who

also works here I went to high school with him this was his high school car

wow but he has pretty young then I mean probably what me 21 22 no he was a

little high school he's older than me I think he graduated 2009 gotcha okay yeah

commitment this car has been around if it could talk it's been places wow do you

think you would tell some stories I think it would tell great stories yes so

here we are we're going to see what happens I want to see what Lucas does I

think he's on the right track right here by one of the best things he could do is

probably restore the headlights and that's gonna just make it safer and exactly

you know de-age it by a little bit the next biggest thing I would probably do

is yeah probably clean the windows the trim the trim and the tires I think that

also make a big difference if you can do that it looks like those ones are

hubcaps so yeah yeah this is not the EX model LX LX well actually it would be

LX because it has the unpainted so I'm excited Lucas the floor is yours if you

want to chime in at any time yeah let us know how things are going we're just

sanding it down getting it prepared to polish you know it's already looking

better Lucas if that makes you feel any better I can actually I can already tell

a difference with what you're doing so keep on stuff right there keeping on so

I guess touch by a detailer for the very first time probably so yes they have a

song that I don't think it's like a jingle to it I don't think they do not

not specifically touched by a detailer no no okay I mean I'm sure we could

probably AI one but all right so anyways back on track so some quick some quick

bits here is a little housekeeping so welcome back to Q&A Thursday where we

have a lot of fun we sometimes answer detailing questions we try to we stay on

track when we can we try to feature some live detailing when we can and it really

is a lot of fun right especially if you join in and comment and really the show

isn't a show without you watching right and so we need we need you guys to

equally participate right because you're gonna create a lot of where this

conversation goes yep with your questions and your comments and we were

always down for whatever you know we like to go down and wrap all we can but

we've been doing this for many many many years you've been doing this for many

many yeah so I've been doing this for many many years doing this for many many

years so is Dane Hennan right who is actually doing it for a few years yeah

Levi Gates it for many many years so we've been doing this for a long time and

needless to say we're we haven't gotten bored of it and the reason why I haven't

gotten bored of it because we have amazing viewership and we have amazing

people like you guys watching right now so yeah give us your comments give your

questions now housekeeping right now at the ride company dot-com sale is the

season of love baby those kids give them the ADS meaning the armor detail

supply give them the detail supply so 20% off using code ADS 20 and yes look at

look how big the kits are and then we have holy smokes over 30% on some of

those kits so yes so are you kidding me are you kidding me okay Gabriel if you

you're out we've let you in for a couple weeks now we can get you out as fast as

we've let you in let me do the spiel okay thank you thank you 30% already tell

supply and we have the rinse this bundle which is gonna be 2499 it's gonna get

you into a pint of hero as well as the pink m22 drying towel that's like a

ridiculous amount of value right there because basically you're basically paying

for the talent hero for free it's a it's a it's an awesome deal so highly

recommend jumping into that if you haven't tried either product and then we

also have the trim plus bundle so if you are looking to restore some trim I was

gonna say something else if you're looking to restore some trim and you are

ready to just dive in then this is what you need right so trim plus which is

gonna be your all-in-one trim restore and coding it is insane this product does

last an incredibly long time Lucas is gonna use it today I mean said I'm

going on I'm coming up on a year in a few months here on my trim plus job on

my truck it's crazy yeah it's so good it's so good I was still black and still

beating yeah I was actually talking to somebody on the phone the other day and

they said they asked me the question what do you think is the best product that

came out last year and I was like trim by far like it never fails like that is

such a good product well and it's a different product than solution finish

right we all know that solution finish is one of the yeah it's an all-in-one

pro quality like it's going to be a great trim restore right this right here is

going to be a restore and coding so if you're looking for long-term protection

this is gonna be a great way to do it with great water behavior and so you're

gonna get ripping rags in this you're gonna get some applicators you're also

gonna get the detail factory applicator there which is made out of foam you can

wash it off you're done and reuse it as needed and so 59 bucks it's a killer

deal now the other kit I want to talk about too and this is a great way to

jump into armor detail supply in general is going to be the wheel and tire bundle

so the reason why I bring this up is because the wheel and tire bundle

arguably that it's a it's a perfect combo right their tire cleaner is one of

the best in class tire cleaners their wheel cleaners one of the best in class

wheel cleaners and so combining those with a bit of protection from beads

you're gonna have a killer setup right so you're gonna get some gauntlets in

here tire brush and you're gonna be able to get to town along with a little

cyclone a wheel mitt so 59 bucks for three that's a killer deal amazing products

and beads you can use on your just anything I think shout out to Carson on

this one yeah because Carson helped with this kit specifically the beads

definitely helps keep the wheels cleaner longer and makes it easier in the next

wash call this the Carson black bundle CB bundle I really wasn't gonna go there

but I the only thing it's missing a little bit of full send best from an

entirely different brand so Carson has taken a break yeah all right so if we

back out here Nick just for a quick second and then scroll down so you're

gonna see obviously 20% off armor detail supply you're gonna see our limited

edition sticker so this one's pretty cool that's run I like this one it's a

little heart little little pressure washer gun here and it's cute it kind of

feels a little spongebob like but also like it's the teeth that throw me off a

little bit you'd rather it be teethless small of no teeth no not not necessarily

gumming it but I think that the the three teeth it's it is slightly less

why do you say things like that it's just saying what nothing nothing we'll

continue on this is a fantastic sticker killer sticker you will like the

sticker a lot definitely pick it up at the ride company during this armor

detail season sale I think that's I think it's all we got so check out the

right company calm get the person that you love something that they love and

if you're watching this it's probably detailing and we will yeah we will

follow up next week right we'll see how how'd your Valentine's Day go right we

want to see you know is it special is it magical was it full of love and did it

include detailing products so definitely tune in next week so we can recap okay

let's go ahead and jump in some comments we do have Dane Hennan and Dane is

controlling the question so any questions that he puts up unfortunately this

week we do not have the leisure of skipping oh geez oh gosh go ahead said

alright Dane says don't worry guys I'm hanging out in the back feeding them

comments today I just wanted to give another host a shot at running things

so that we can keep things fun and rotating around here which is actually

I'm gonna I'm gonna say it's a little bit surprising with how you treated Dane last

week I was answering your questions I was trying to keep us on track that was

nice of Dane to put you out here Dane is a very kind so I was skipping the ones

where he was in conversation but yes Dan Pfeiffer good afternoon and word up

from the sunny Minnesota USA happy Friday to the entire TRC Rick gang will

be 50 degrees this weekend that's warm the pressure washer is coming back out

and then much needed detailing so it's funny is why so it is why it's been

warm here yeah I so you know I usually with my Sierra Spotless system I empty

it out through winter because it there's no reason water be sitting in the

resin right and I usually empty it out and I go okay cool where you know

revisit this in three or four months right yeah I'm literally like well time

to fill that back up yeah and get back to it because we're in 45 50 degrees you

guys didn't keep it going the entire winter with how warm it it's been it

was almost 60 last weekend no it was so warm yeah it was so warm yeah we're in

like I was wearing shorts yeah it's crazy here yeah people are riding

motorcycles you're along here now which is crazy yeah Eric DIY says good

you all be my Valentine or is that weird no three play jumping into a meeting

that sounds we'd love to be around I think he has a real job you know yeah he

does yeah I'm just kidding I knew that guys we were actually talking about Alex

earlier yeah we were watching not watching but it was like on the back

the TV we have a TV that kind of Dane Dane will put some weird stuff on the TV

that we can just have Marvel Olympics has been the theme Marvel Olympics and he'll

put like some things that we have in the on be like just background ambiance right

and what he did was a video on how hockey pucks are created oh like hockey puck

manufacturing yeah yeah and they were all for like Canadian hockey teams and

stuff yeah and I was like you know it's pretty awesome that we have like a token

Canadian right we have Alex right who you know he jokes around about being the

Canadian mm-hmm he actually plays hockey like every week yeah like every week yeah

like there's thousands millions of you know that that's their sport not

everybody Anthony we were we got somebody that really no we're streaming the

Canadian thing the Canadian the Canadian Olympics on the channel back there's a

winter I can't speak but anyhow every other commercial is hockey it's awesome

yeah I just love that he actually plays hockey and we were talking about that at

tier CMA we should have hockey segment here on the Swiss tracks cuz I think a

puck would slide pretty well yeah and we would just set up a little miniature

goal here and we would have Alex run us through like hockey lessons yeah be nice

helpful yeah all right Robert Gaines says hello from the racing capital of

World Indie whoa hey how's it going man Sid all right the base Mesa happy

Thursday everyone it's a beautiful day to be detailing geek let's go I bet you

bet it is beautiful in me special there yeah juice free says let's go juice

what's going on do you have a cane at Minnesota check it in happy Thursday

everyone what's going on came sweet happy Thursday everybody angry monkey

detailing still too cold in New York to clean but close so close so close you

need our weather all right juice free says I love clapped out Hondas don't we

all do we all you do I love them what's your favorite there is a you like clapped

out ones I like if they have enough paint on them yeah then I like to fix no

matter what no matter what state they're in as long as they have enough paint on

them I'm like I'm in but like at this point is when it starts getting to be

like I can out I can outweigh the cost of paint to the car and I know too much

mm-hmm Mesa says I got my replacement air blaster Tuesday I think so the

quick turn on that yeah I bet I'm wondering if Lucas was maybe helping him

out or tabby the Bayes mate Mesa you serviced him shout out Bayes Mesa nice

Lucas he serviced him can we go back to the Honda for a second yeah just thought

of this really good idea you know it would be fun to do with this car would

be to go like on a like a you pull it Easter egg hunt like find all the parts

that you can improve on this car out of the junk steering wheel fun there's a

couple but it would be fun to like do that you know like fine new hubcaps like

fine new steering I get some attention ladies and gentlemen like it would be

really fun you know that's something that I enjoyed doing in my own cars right

and and I can tell you right now oh he's looking right now I want to go while

you guys just juice-free I love clapped out Honda's do we already read that yeah

we did we have this is a Honda Accord he says a 99 right 99 yeah wow Lucas that

looks amazing boosted says what do you recommend for an APC by my suggestion is

green star yeah engine bay five to one exterior 10 to one interior 20 to one or

30 to one yeah how about you guys I'm still on the green star you're still on

the green star what do you want APC you're still looking so you should know

we've we would have a heyday there's a lot of

from a 99 to 2001 there is probably I just just going on the list there's

probably eight or nine just at the Garden City yeah there's another five here

across the street maybe next Wednesday it's not washing it's

yeah you want to do that you know because but here's the so the roof is a

danger put a pole on the trunk is bad and the quarters are bad we could

probably swap out everything doors included yeah doors from bumper rear

bumper hood green and mirrors oh green is extremely common and we could probably

find a real wheels right oh yeah that was the interior we could find lots of

we should get we should swap his cloth to leather and swap out that steering

wheel yeah maybe that's what we should do in the coming Q&A right juice-free

nothing makes me break my neck more than a clapped out Honda parked on the

streets you're speaking Anthony's love language what is the walking egg I have

to say there Anthony this should be an egg-citing episode my favorite time of

the week I love that I love that so much sit all right so Kieran Herman says is

penis bug remover safe on ceramic coated vehicles absolutely you do want to

dilute it one-to-one and the only reason for that is just so it doesn't leave a

mark but most ceramic coatings are chemically impervious which is why we

do them so the bug remover will not hurt the coating but it could leave like

ghosting of the drops if it's not diluted correctly so don't use it in full

Sun dilute it one-to-one you'll be good those lights look good sorry no they do

they holy smokes better than they are showing on camera yeah yeah juice-free

says anything I'm back I am back I am back on back on the table here we go

and go for a J. O. Inguiz in a quiz 1607 says what towels do you personally use

for removing polishes and compounds more than one for both you don't really

necessarily have to use more than one for both but 365 personally yeah I like 365

creatures yeah those are my two favorite same 365 or creatures yep sweet I

like the creatures because they have the dual pile yeah so give a little bit

clarification creatures are the 365 on the short nap side then they have a

longer nap sheep star asking the important questions Gabriel if you had to

pick one of the following for the rest of your life what is it regular baked

potato any toppings no twice baked or mashed potatoes any toppings hi this is

easy for me easy for me mashed potatoes oh my gosh I'm baked I love mashed

potatoes really what about you can we go back Dan's going fast I'm not skipping

this important question I just need to re-think about this okay so regular

baked potato any toppings no twice baked okay so basically just I'm getting a

baked potato I'm loading it with whatever I want I'm just eating it right

not not rebaking and then mashed potatoes with any toppings I do mashed so you

could cheat and say oh yeah this burger is a topping without really dissecting it

too much I mean there's some things I love about it like a good old-fashioned

baked potato and it usually is just a little bit like salted skin and then you

know a couple condiments on there and I can dive in and enjoy that I find that

just a regular baked potato is exceptionally filling like one baked

potato I'm done like I can't eat more like when I go to Texas Roadhouse right

I got a side baked potato I know that I'm rolling myself out of there right

because it's just too much you like having some skin in the game mashed

potatoes Gabriel mashed potatoes on the other hand not as filling I do feel like

I can eat way more mashed potato than I can have a regular potato your trade

off here is the obvious most mashed potatoes will contain an incredible

amount of butter dairy or war cream right and the best mashed potatoes I've

ever had have been the butteriest most garlicky most you know sour cream

whatever they mix in yeah to make it taste as good as possible and that's not

sustainable for me long-term right you know I can't you know I don't want to

have to be in a restaurant take a bite of mashed potatoes and go is this it is

this is this is this the end of my life you can switch it up you can put any

topping on top of it on mashed potatoes yes putting on mashed potatoes other

than crazy or bacon bits yeah you could put bacon bits you could put cheese you

could put beans corn yeah for me it's a texture thing I like the chunky pieces of

potato but did you guys know that Boise is getting a baked potato restaurant

stop it where down in where Boto Vino was oh really in April and all they serve

baked potatoes in the village no I know downtown downtown but yeah yeah yeah

yeah it looks so good he has a great tick tock he's showing building out the

whole place it looks amazing is it like one of those where they load up the

potatoes yeah and it's all locally sourced that sounds yeah yeah I'm so

excited I'll be like the first one said you got a buff and Tony all right

buff and Tony Lucas sanding those headlights with a thumbtack also I

think y'all should keep up to date on the comments more so that it's more of a

conversation instead of us being unable to comment on what's happening live well

buff and Tony will send that to the department

wow buff and Tony he's a little sassy today is I'm noticing that I like when

he gets sassy because I want to know what he looks like when he's when he's

Mike he's a little guy right yeah so I want to know is sitting there like yeah

yeah yeah where is it kind of like he's laying yeah I feel like I feel like it's

just a neutral phase no you know what he does he's laying there with his feet up

on the couch typing and then he giggles after he hits it he does

yeah it's an F-22 motor says sir roe Robert what if it's SI Roberto I think it's

sir or sir Roberto Roberto yeah F-22 I don't know if it's F-22 or F-23 Tony says

I would have even washed that restored the headlights interior detail do the

window and then send it through the car wash a couple of times he's probably not

wrong yeah yeah I can see that Tony but I don't even know washing this is gonna

make a big difference I'd like to see an engine bay detail on that Honda speaking

of what's the best product for old caked on layer oil and dirt and around the

engine so I like to see the engine so speaking of what is the best part for an

old kick so oil and dirt you can use a really strong APC right you could also

use a really decent fault remover yeah so what happens is that a lot of that

caked on oil and dirt debris right sometimes there's like metal particulates

that will come out as well and that really needs to be dissolved with a

decent fault remover so I've used the combo of magic wheel cleaner as like a

pre-treatment for engine bays for forever and it's insanely good it's very

thick too viscous oh yes clings forever it sticks well it's just kind of stinky

and then you can use something like green star but power clean in my opinion

will have stronger degreasing properties on its own at full strength right or

even cut one-to-one green star will be very strong as well but power clean I've

done some pretty even after applying magic wheel cleaner yeah power clean is a

great I mean when you're using a full strength I mean it's oh yeah that's for

something that's absolutely hammered but that is what you're doing because

outside of using a brake clean product right so break when using a brake cleaner

right yeah brake cleaner can cut through grease and grime instantaneously at

rinse is clean it dries on its own it's very fast sure I don't know if he's

gonna do it in detail on the engine bay no he's not going to yeah but a brake

cleaner on the engine bay is also very useful yeah I've heard will it like will

entire cleaner too is a good combo surprisingly but like between seals or

if I'm trying to like chase a like a leak or if I'm just trying to clean

something up temporarily I'll use like a brake cleaner and just blast it really

yeah that's why and then I use a nylon brush or a brass brush and I'll clean

it up that way here we go Sid all right live in the college life said what is

your favorite paint touch-up kit for rock chips is it touch up our X or doctor

color chip oh we're a doctor color this this building sponsored by our friends

over at doctor we even have a plaque in the office that says we are all

certified by doctor color chip installers I think it's yeah it does say the

right does say the right company does not say Anthony Fisher did even though I

will get certified by my own by Tony when he comes up here for tier SEMA and I

will get my own is he doing certifications maybe not I know we ask

him we use doctor color chip I know Sid's had some results with touch of our

X and she's had some decent results there but in in whole doctor color chip has

been I would say a great partner of the rag company for several videos that we've

made on rock to prepare yeah yeah yeah you really can't go wrong with either

one Tony's great next up

bum-bum-bum uh spikers was he Sydney hello from Vancouver BC Canada if we

don't get any snow in the next 18 days this will be the first winter without

snowfall in 40 years wow what they didn't get any snow we didn't either pretty

much the same we got one day I wasn't here for it we are well below snowpack

oh yeah sure yeah if you look at I saw a chart and the whole West is basically

well not looking too good I'm worried about summer yeah and how that might

affect as far as fires go yeah yeah fire season yeah we got lucky with fire

season last year last year this year I have a suspicious feeling it's gonna

look like the apocalypse out there where it's just smoke infested yeah we do get

pretty bad we get a really bad usually during the month of September it's

usually a smoke show here yeah yeah and not the good kind yeah yeah I did yeah

it's not an organ smoke show am I right I don't know what that means me either

uh grand first says you're here you a gin what don't even know what chemical

would you advise calling your towel for a polished removal in between passes

I'm a big fan of just using diluted rinse list yeah I'm a diluted rinse list person as well

to really rinse this works great nothing wrong with it but I do I do like the rinse list though

I just use a rinse list at 256 to 1 and go to town next up we have ethical trash bag

oh do you see what he says more more dad jokes Gabe get him yes that is coming from a trash bag

okay that is really you could all right silly goose 757 hi all you've been absent for uh I've

been absent for two weeks running uh but I am happy to be back silly goose we are so stoked that you

are here said what Dan's diamond detailing says good morning guys happy almost right happy almost

Friday to you too Dan you know what's so funny is after all the years of doing this like I never

remember that Friday is the next day and I'm always like in my in when I see the comments

I guess it turns where it feels like middle week tomorrow's Friday like you know I never

realized it until somebody says that then I'm like oh tomorrow's Friday one of these days I'm

gonna catch on but yeah hi Joey hey Joey what does he say they're Anthony says good afternoon

Sydney Gabe Anthony and Lucas I miss you all can't wait to see in a few weeks ready for a great show

well Joey welcome to the party um you were used quite popular this last week on Facebook

and we love him anyhow our rig done says hey guys does trim plus lock future dressings out like a

traditional ceramic yes it does in fact when after you apply it the applicator um hardens as if it

was just a ceramic coating that's how but I think the good thing that I don't want lost on this is

that it prevents you from needing a dressing so yes it does lock it out but you really shouldn't

need to add a dress correct yes it so there is the age old problem of yes you can't redress it

but what you're doing is you're locking in something that's already been dressed yeah right and so

previously wherever we were coating something we were just really relying on essentially the

solvents to really take out that you know top layer of oxidation on trim and really penetrate it to

darken it and deepen it right yeah just like if you were to take a clear coat and spray it over

something matte right it's going to darken it deepen it and you know gloss it out same concept

there with the ceramic coating like we had been using with things like c4 and again still a great

product for your trim but it just one of those things that yeah you're kind of locking yourself

out trim plus is not locking yourself out it's locking yourself in with an already dyed coating

some people say you've dressed the problem kind of instead of a dressed dressed

man so um yes it is it's great though I mean and if you are worried about that and you want the

ability to redress as needed then you just use solution finishing the walking egg says when it

comes to ADS trim plus how does it work in a few years when you need to reapply will it adhere

since you can't polish it off to prep again yes it will yeah I think that so coating degradation

will happen you know due to physical agitation due to UV exposure washing chemicals things like that

right so it's not that once you coat trim it's you can't ever dress it ever ever again yeah it's

now just a time factor yeah until the coating wears down enough and becomes porous enough to

be able to accept a new dressing right yeah and I know that on my old dodgeram 1500 yeah one of the

5.2 318 magnum oh the 5.2 the 5.2 yeah I mean it was just a tank the so much torque that the chassis

used to twist coming off the line um and that particular truck we redressed the plastics on that

oh my gosh so many different times so many we actually coated it though right off the bat

like right when we got the truck we coated it and I was like oh man I can be able to you know

redress this for a long time it took about a year and a half almost two years and then I was able

to redress it and then I just went back to solution finish yeah just didn't do ceramic it again yeah

and I just did my mini cooper with trim plus which had previously been done with inspiration

and really not had that too much abrasion but I could tell when it started to you know not be

super black anymore yeah and I did it with trim plus and it was perfect we did it came out perfect

and it didn't you know not accept it at all so I think once you've kind of gotten through that

first layer with just time and abrasion it's gonna take it just yeah it'll last a long time

moving on we have a Nate JC 999 says how often would you use an alkaline for pre-washing

can I use one every time if my car gets sturdy also what does it get into your town

do you really need to every time uh yeah you don't need to um if you're using a higher alkaline

wash every single time you eventually you're gonna have degradation of multiple things around the

car um yeah you an alkaline wash should be done when and if needed and most of the time it's usually

coming out of winter it's be prepping before something special or you've had a long road

trip and the car is hammered right and you just need to really cut through a lot of it

but it's not something you want to use every single time now it depends on alkalinity as well

when we talk about an alkaline wash right we are talking about anything above a pH of a seven

right so anywhere from the range of eight to even up to like 12 right in most cases

that upper end of the scale right a 12 unnecessary usually unless you're prepping or doing something

now if you want to live in that like eight to nine range in theory yes you could do that every

single like right on the edge though but I think that that's why for example when you take a product

like built hammer touchless which while it is a sugar based snow foam it does it is higher

alkalinity in general right and it does a great job at pre-treating and doing that well with that

type of product right you are now um you're not really going off of the dilution ratio you're

going off like whatever you know it can impact panel ratio right um that is different because

what you're doing now is you're taking a really high alkaline product and you're trying to really

try to find that perfect balance of like what am I going to do to maintain something without

like degrading anything once you start over diluting it or under diluting it I should say

that's when you start getting like trim to like turn colors and it starts like staining yeah I want

that and your windows start looking kind of a little hazy and foggy and and that's the problem

when using it all the time now if you find that perfect panel impact ratio that's ideal for what

you need which most people probably aren't going to take the time to learn then you're then you're

doing too much yeah yeah pH balance is what I'd stick at next up

G Davis Gabriel the unsightly condition of an accord reminds me of a brief time

Dane hosted the Spanish game show El Trepo or El Da Nero yeah oh I love G Davis

we just couldn't believe he was hosting that in his own home you know what I mean

I can't believe it like I don't know how he was getting away with that at the the house on Hennan

Hill well the house on Hennan Hill does have you know he's not extremely close to his neighbors

yeah it's true and below is a daycare so I mean the daycare is out at the end of the day

there's a reason why he's putting in a new deck this week yes he does want to really up the game

in fact Anthony suggested throwing in a pole that way you can like a fireman's pole to get down

you know that is a given though the fact that Dane didn't even think of that I'm like my mind

blown right yeah but it's very simple can you imagine somebody not going down the fireman's

pole properly they just literally fall they don't get to use it it's a lock well they don't get to

you don't know if they're going to not know how to use it until they use it Anthony no I would

make it to where there's like a safety thing of some sort you know they can't go down the pole

unless they you know they are explicitly cold the question is how would you maintain that pole

what detail products are you using I'm not sure because I don't know I don't actually have never

I've gone down a fireman's pole I've never really pulled dance but I've gone down a fireman's

pole right okay you don't want it to be slippery no I was gonna say make it slippery so it's fun

so you go faster so it must have been back when I was maybe living in California right I think

yeah that's what it was we did when I was younger I know what I would put I would think I was 11

amplify we did a uh it was a fireman pancake feed okay have you ever heard of that right

it was like a pancake feed where you know you go out and it's like it's all goes took a charitable

event yeah well it was near the fire station they had us come take like a look and then they had people

like say hey you can go down the fireman pole right yeah what was funny is back then or 2001

right nobody gave a crap about safety right these firemen were literally yeah oh yeah they were

like just go down it right and nobody was watching or catching people so we were just hilarious so

we're sliding down they did have the padding okay so nobody was like getting seriously hurt but

yeah you grab on and you just go down to that second story yeah you could put amplify for

anti-static properties yeah I just don't know that you'd want it to be because when they showed us

it's their legs wrapping around which they have pants on and then their feet are guiding how much

slide right yeah so once you kind of learned that you just go it doesn't really matter how much

slipper grip you have your you just kind of letting it letting it glide yeah yeah so Anthony you have

a preschooler you guys both have kind of preschoolers so when Tristan was in preschool we did a field

trip to the fire station downtown on 15th and that got tore down and they went they took the

kids upstairs and they kind of forgot their audience and so they left the whole space to the

fire pole open and a kid literally ran and like you know there's like a hole and he like

tried to go out grab onto the pole but he missed and fell yeah did he hurt himself no but it was

really scary really really scary you know but it was a preschooler a preschooler but this kid just

like made a beeline for that fire pole and thought you know I'm gonna be a fireman and I do but it

was so far away from the step I remember that when you reached over it's far it's far far like

I remember you had to like kind of grab it and kick your legs up and over yeah and then you went

substantial yeah it was pretty crazy but I grew up many of us grew up I don't know if you guys had

at your playground we had um a what um playground yeah the way you said I thought you said I don't

know if you had an egg at your playground no I don't know if you guys grew up with this but I had

you know back in the when I was a younger kid we had playgrounds right it's laid down right that

we had poles that you could slide down not just those though right we had like the monkey bars right

but like yeah but like the multiple levels right yeah you had your tall medium and you had your at

your your your XL version right kids broke their arms on those those like yeah those are what six

feet high yeah those are pretty tall right and we had a bunch of those and those were like the ones

that like you they'd painted at some point but then like over the years the war it there's so much

oils from the kids hands that like the you grab it shiny yeah slip so those you know I grew up in

the days where we used to do they would call like cherry drops is what they're called right so you

hang by the back of your knees and you spin and you and then you flip right yeah we had the kids

you would you'd swing by your hands and then land on the next one here yeah and then you could back

flip off right yeah yeah so of going down a second story fireman pole at that age that's like right

that's nothing that's I'm getting word we're talking we're getting two down the pole we

answer this next question okay joey says if you guys were my valentine what would you hope to get

from the rag company if you were my valentine if you were my valentine what would you hope to get

from the rag company I totally have my answer wait wait a case of pink m-22s a whole case

a whole case of all pink ones what would you get anthony rip and rags I do love so many

rip and rags so many I do love I do love a good like an infinite amount of what I forgot to order

this week I get a case of 365 that's a good choice too yeah but case of 365 yeah my number two would

let's let's actually go back on the detailing realm Lucas how's everything going

what he's washing oh yeah I don't think he can hear us right now Lucas how's it going over there

how's it going talk to us oh dude it's going pretty good um this paints man it looks good wet

it's dude it's time to stop like yeah he's absorbing the water take the pics oh my gosh

he did a class project where he had to slide across the hood

nice how bad how old and how come on all right while he's checking on that angry monkey detailing

I agree with Sydney the winter Olympics are cool crazy people race at highway speeds with two by

fours on their feet and on kids sleds how would you detail a bobsled what would you use now that I

would use amplify anti-static properties yeah I would make it shiny and make it fast yeah um

did you guys watch curling by the way like that was the most that was I love curling we could do that

in here we could curling is cool oh my god look at the dent that's nuts curling is really cool but

what's cool is the caliper so if if there's two if there's two basically stones yeah and they need

measure they use a caliper to measure which is further into the yeah oh my gosh all right Nick

get a shot of this Anthony's Anthony look what Anthony's about to do so yeah focus on that

Anthony do it from the passenger side that way uh you're not obstructing the camera nope

opposite stand on the fender side stand on the fender side look at the camera look at the uh

there's like suction cups you can buy on tiktok now oh no

oh my goodness look at him sizing it up like he's a curler he is

it's like someone dropped at the curling stone on the hood yeah so rad company it's like someone

dropped a curling stone on the hood that's all yeah those things I can't remember what they said

all right you want to keep throwing up questions on there while I answer them there game

okay all right uh George George uh parrot s uh well I can't even you know what the funny thing I

have to tell the audience like we do know how to read it's um but for some reason when they come up

on the screen and they're your guys's youtube names like we can't work it out in our mind

paradise george parrot s 2602 if I have a cr spotless can I use that water spot uh

sorda instead of distilled right if I have a cr spotless can I use can I use that water

instead of distilled yeah yeah yeah absolutely yeah that's the whole premise distilled water you

can use cr spotless for sure so he's probably talking about like to dilute his chemicals and

stuff absolutely yeah this cr spotless does the trick the thing that we learned here in the studio

is the more you use a cr spotless even to fill in the buckets you have a tendency of wearing out your

your your your cr spotless and yeah in time essentially you want to get this one diy with kane

diy with kane says hi sid uh you mentioned that you keep rags to riches in a spray bottle to

pretreat is the dilution one ounce per 32 i do one ounce per 16 so half yeah of that well yes

or if you're using a 32 ounce bottle use two ounces of rags correct yeah

they're still going at it keep going dane keep paying us uh bill pair one hi guys i have a question

for you sid i know that you're not a pns anymore but can you tell me what happened to kyle's boat

and rv i can roughly um so i believe they've discontinued it so when atg took over pns they

you know pns had a lot of skews and so they looked at ones that they could eliminate and

unfortunately there was a lot of lovers of kyle's boat and rv but it just didn't sell

enough quantities and so that was one of the skews that didn't make the boat and rv products are

yeah and and very niche yeah and what was sad about that one was that was actually

one of pns's first products that had been turned into kyle's boat nervy um and it was just a really

great polish for like single stage it would be great for this where it just like adds a bunch

of moisture back into something um but yeah they did they did unfortunately do away with it that

dent is actually coming out that's a nice kind of is yeah uh if they had an actual suction cup

they'd be able to get it juice free did lucas just drink ads hero and what it what is his approach

to the headlight uh what grade of sandpaper what grade of sandpaper did you use on the headlights

um one two then one k2k4k um but if you want to demo on how to get out of dense you should

peep this right here so it's crazy it's working it's working yeah or like almost there yeah it's

just i mean it's still there but it's definitely better have you thought about opening the hood

and pushing from underneath i don't know if i can get enough like you should actually see without

like you need those like real suction cups oh anthony while you're over there take a look at that

steering wheel oh here he did it marinate all right dane hit us with some more let's keep going

while these guys pop dance all right joey says fun fact i've never watched or been to a hockey match

despite living in the block a block from the arena in san jose so i was actually like chatting with

these boys the other night and it was so funny we were talking about the olympics and um joey so it

was a group chat between joey alex and myself and and joey just drops this bomb and says i've

never watched a hockey game in my life and i could feel the air leave alex's lungs

on the town yeah i mean he was like i thought we were friends like for him to just so be like

i've never watched hockey in my life yeah and i was like you know i could feel it it was so funny

that's hilarious all right uh the one who shall remain name us what are we naming him today anthony

uh i think we're gonna name him uh castanza castanza okay all right what does castanza have to

say uh happy dry friday jr t r c from the sunny 38 degrees south coast of massachusetts i hope you're

all well this week you are very well you're doing well we're good

Todd hill c94 when i wash windows while the window cleaner is evaporating i noticed something on

the window it is only visible while it is evaporating one stride is not visible what is it what is this

fix so when i wash windows while the window cleaner is evaporating and known to something on the

windows it's only visible what do you know only when it's evaporating like does it go away when it

evaporates huh and if it goes away what do we need to fix something is on the window what what is it

i don't know like in the interior i noticed over time if windows haven't been cleaned they get like a

film a film ends with some sort but cleaner is evaporating i noticed something on the windows

what do you think fisher i don't know i don't know it could be so many different things i mean it

could just be film it could be uh change in surface tension where the area is yep an area that's

been clayed the area that hasn't you know an area that's been razor bladed a rare area that hasn't

could it be also something previously used on the glass whether it's interior cleaner maybe

oh maybe that's what he means like marx maybe he's seeing ghosting showing up potentially that could

be yeah yeah uh joey's commenting on your hoodie there lucas he says that's a nice hoodie thanks man

appreciate it lucas is good looking lucas is on the mission um oh man uh i advanced

in detailing says sorry lucas anything only gets aroused by listening to the sound of his own

voice oh my goodness oh that even means i'm not gonna accept your facebook request go

wow all right michael says hello tersi crew and the chat my pns valentine's order is on its way

at megal eager to try release some crystal wash two great products heck yeah michael you're gonna

love him you think he's just not doing it rag rag co superfan a t dot t d that's a nice yeah that's

a nice uh it's a nice that looks like uh that's levi oh it's a t to tight to toe wait who is that

that's levi that is that is leprechaun levi that is leprechaun levi you think no that

yeah see the picture maybe i guess i could kind of see that wolfsburg six nine six what is your

go-to method of keeping track of dilution calculations when you have so many different

products uses for the products different sizes containers etc i think over time it's just

i i've got it memorized i don't know it's yeah and there's also like standards that you have for

like soaps you know and and interior cleaners for apcs i i don't know i i do you have anything on

that front anthony not really i mean i you do it long enough you to start name you just get it

it's like it's like wearing the abc's yeah i mean you can you can dilute anything i mean

if you do it enough i don't even think about it that's basically what it is honestly the more

you do it the more well it's like it's like keeping track of calories right i definitely don't do

that nope there is i will say like i normally remember everything but when it's something

like that i don't use that often um ryan weiss who's a friend of the program actually showed me a

dilution app that is pretty cool coach on their website oh i don't have that it's an app somebody

built the app it's so cool anyway he showed it to me and it's like super super cool so i use that

yeah it's oh this drc it took itself off so we'll let it download but it's really cool so you

actually really quick link is something we all need to figure out right now what how do you

stop your apps from offloading i know right what's the answer joey because i haven't used it

so where is the setting at i have blank i've been hating this forever joey bolinski help me

apple support so the rag company put so look it so you do like you have 32 ounces and what's your

dilution ratio like 256 to 1 no do like uh do do 10 to 1 well but it tells you how much water and

how much product you need that's crazy so drc stands for dilution ratio calculator so drc calculator

it's super cool so ryan showed me this and like it's so quick and easy and then it also has like

milliliters you know so you can change for coach so milliliters ounces ratios yeah like it's super

cool oh and look at that it's got categories such as clay lubrication engine bay built hamper cutie

it tells you right there it's 20 to 1 wow you guys so anyway this app is really cool so thank you ryan

now you've just shared it with everybody anthony i think you need to read this comment i like that

app yeah it's really cool it kind of has the most popular ones in there yeah so uh from the rag

company i have blank agreg can you dilute me and yeah that's a great i love that line that's a good

one yeah dan diamond detailing says i i thought you were actually gonna give us a serious question

because it's obviously mashed potatoes thank you every day of the week i love dan don't you like dan

i do like dan i don't know dan but he seems like a really nice guy look now we have leprechaun

levi there you go you are right i knew i know my screen i know my screen grabs when i see him

says i feel my power growing oh jeez i like that i don't know who that is

how funny anthony uh my teenage neighbor used one black rag to wash his whole car

start with his wheels that i um new strategy it looked like a bathroom hand towel and a blue

dawn looking so i've seen that before yeah yeah seen that before interesting interesting oh coach

coming u.s.a in the house hello tier c yang what's going on it's either hunter or

justin i think last week we figured it out i think it was hunter was it hunter no because i

think hunter tuned in on his own channel oh man coach you're gonna have to let us know all right

uh sit dan's all right diamonds dan's diamond detailing for my mashed potatoes i use rosemary

infused butter and heavy cream that's why it's so amazing i love mashed potatoes that's really fun i

use paula dean's recipe for mashed potatoes that includes like two whole sticks of butter and an

entire eight ounce thing of uh philadelphia cream cheese well he's joey saying butter sour cream

potato watered until you have the consistency that you're liking no milk or heavy cream needed

anthony i like the milk and heavy cream i do too as well also bro remove the hubcap those hubcaps

probably do need to find their final resting place the thing is is they how did they clean up

lucas the hubcaps did you make any headway um i mean yeah they look like before but especially

like in the like back here it looks a little better either another round of iron remover or

like a wheel acid yeah it's it's pretty caked on i mean if karsten's listening right now he knows

where the wheel acid is uh i don't really want to get that near karsten does have a love for

he loves i think we miss yeah i think we miss labeled him yeah g davis go for an anthony

anthony petition panera to add a basket uh potato lined bread bowl that to the pick two menu yes

it's baked potato lined baked potato lined bread bowl yes yeah that would be pretty delicious

it would be the dent is still there but i do think we made it about 50 percent better

you need like something really you need like the real section cup that locks on and you pull it out

yeah him out of detailing 3598 howdy trc peeps howdy to you too

silly goose said all right silly goose said for those who aren't as diligent with their diet as

anthony i highly recommend barefoot quintessas parmesan smashed potatoes yeah oh my gosh very

similar to polygons yeah i don't know how that sounds to me as south contessa she cooks with a lot

of cheese and butter and cream just like polygene yes yeah compressor question currently on a five

gallon 20 liters powerful but short working time with built-air tools wouldn't expansion tank solve

things any tips on what to buy brand gallon wise uh so yes an expansion tank would solve a lot of

things but just basically giving you uh more of a a surplus of air to to blow through um it's not

Levi says uh sister tanks yeah you can sister tank anything right and so

you can use old propane tanks you can use old um you can use an extra air tank of any sort what i

would just look for is just an expansion you know extra expansion tank or i can add on tank and

i don't know if it's necessarily something you can get from a hardware store maybe some might sell

it might have to be something you buy online but they shouldn't be expensive right however you

modify it or make one the goal is to keep it cheap so whatever seems like a cheap safe option yeah

your cfm is not going to change though no yeah magical cleaner is too sneaky in my opinion i honestly

just use gsf on the wheels the brush and they come out well nice heck yeah what's wrong with that

especially if you keep keep them up and maintain them jade joey balinsky 95 watching click that thumbs

up nice nice and speaking of people watching right now is actually a good time to uh put a pin in

it yeah for a few minutes yeah right yeah i like that so we could go take a quick little break

yeah um but also this gives you time to watch a few ads from not ads i should say uh videos from

ourselves videos no they're not ads they are gonna have more fun on the second uh half anyways we

gotta kind of brace ourselves but anthony's gonna have to brace themselves there might be more dad

jokes on the way isn't that right and hopefully not but right now is a good time to go to the

ride company dot com go uh go check out the uh the wears the goods um check out the valentine's

sale uh and we will see you guys in just a few minutes yep

what's up guys welcome back to the fun spicy exciting half of the q and a we are

are going to have a good time here and uh honestly the biggest uh thing that has been

interesting is watching lucas uh work his magic on this accord i think also watching anthony and

lucas uh with a plunger on the paint has also been very comical as well so how are we doing

over there lucas oh we're doing pretty fantastic so we got this thing washed getting ready to

throw some quick protection dry it up there's some protection on these headlights coat some trim

looks pretty good oh we did shine up these headlights so if we want to do a little camera

change real quick check out those bad mamajamas look pretty good wow it's gonna scare him when

he drives home tonight right he's gonna be too bright he's gonna because braids are on he's gonna

keep trying to turn him off wow let me get to it what i think is funny is look at how that water

is just sitting on the surface like it's just i don't think that car right like look at the hood

it's just like it's holding on to that water for dear life i would just hyper seal it i don't even

think that would be enough it wouldn't make it look good but i don't give it some hydrophobic

i'm with anthony i think you gotta spray trust in the entire car we'll do games i think straight

up man like said just said we were talking about this earlier yeah it's full senate when it's this

when it's this dry are you gonna do it lucas i'm not spraying full sun okay try on one side

sydney what do you think absolutely spray it what absolutely i'm telling you dude i'm telling you

to have full scent do it on one side of the car it's a trust the public and just let it let it

absorb like 20 minutes walk away don't look on the hood try the hood first thing and do half the

hood yeah that's true because the hood doesn't have any clear coat because in that way everybody can

see the hood the rat company says lucas should try and do something about the paint transfer on the

rear passenger side fender all right just don't that's the window don't get the window no do use

the i k no just no that's fine we have a full ball okay it's fine lucas do it all right go ahead

half the hood what do you know you have to do the whole hood do you want to i think he should

dry it first i do too um so he could dry it if he wants to dry it or he can just let itself

what will happen right now is if you spray it on wet right there what will happen is

you'll probably get a little bit of like i would worry about drip yeah or you know i would try it

so instead of spray on rinse off protection then dry we're saying dry it as is dry it full

send on the right yep all right i'll try anything once you know just kind of pat it dry lucas do you

need any more suggestions from this group of people over here did this is yo hold on somebody this

sounds like sandpaper oh i can hear it yeah no we could hear that oh gosh look at that oh no

oh no i'm telling you that with when the base coat is just that dry right i think it's gonna work

yeah it's oh my gosh that looks type of abrasion or anything like that it's just gonna do more

damage to it um this is where like you just try to just throw on a weird water based dressing

it's not gonna be it's not gonna cost it's not gonna damage anything the only negative that

would happen with this the next time it rains it's gonna look like crap again yeah but it would

actually yeah just do it so get a nice even coat yep so you're saying it'll look good for like

five minutes it'll look good for a few days for sure if we're gonna get more rain right unless

it rains but literally this weekend no this this is gonna be great holy snail trail that's just a

hood not the towels fall wall yeah i think they understand that yep so keep going lucas all right

that's what yeah i get it towards a little more in the front there eric diy michael just upgraded my

self maybe less gain to 10 to 20 gallon range but 20 plus is awesome if you have space i wish i

upgraded sooner looked at cobalt 26 and harbor freight ignore it now with cobalt because on

sale for 319 that's a really good deal and honestly you're going to be very happy with that i have a

26 gallon i have a really old air compressor and honestly it works fantastic with our air tools so

yeah you're gonna like that setup for sure i've had my cobalt now for gosh probably six years

have you and man never has let me down like the thing is a beast i love it i love it i really

want to eat these strawberries but i don't want to do this on live on camera yeah yeah go ahead

but then tony uh tony's great yeah thank you thank you i'm humble don't worry i love tony we love tony

uh chancellor i have wheels with the same kerr rash and caked on brake dust i've tried high

ph chemicals already and will like to use low ph to see if that helps but i'm nervous about using

acids any recommendations um i mean you could try crystal wash if you're afraid of acid you're

a little bit of the same thing you could use crystal wash but honestly it sounds like i love

alkaline will cleaner yeah alkaline will cleaner or honestly if you if you have the

caked on brake dust you may just have to go with acid yeah pre sprayer will first before putting

acid yeah make sure it hasn't been driven for several hours yes pre spray it to the touch do

the acid maybe you know you're not going to leave it on as long as maybe like we would um you know

play around with it good luck yeah

buff and tony oh nice more prioritized comments

full send the passenger front door wheels and hubcaps yeah while you're at it

sounds like we're full sending the whole thing tony well you gotta full send you guys i think

you're gonna have to the hubcaps the hubcaps are gonna be in if i don't know if you're paying

attention but like i'm watching the hood right now and a lot of that moisture is getting sucked

right just right back into that that paint because of how dry it is um but like the splotchiness is

gonna start going away here in just a little bit and so what's gonna happen is that you let it set

you let it like literally self dry on its own right and it'll be like a kind of a greasy it's

gonna feel greasy that's a little greasy right but he if he knocks it down yeah tell probably in

like at the towards the end of the video here yeah i mean i would leave it for as long as you

can yeah like if you knock it down you're actually probably gonna have a little more gloss than you

would have had any other way the paint's gonna get some moisture in it um and you're not gonna

really degrade it by i'm not gonna lie like from where we're sitting look how happy that hood looks

it's a happy looking hood yeah like i look at the bumper and the bumper starting to look sad again

i go can we give some of that that happiness to the front bumper as well lucas lucas you might

need to go get the ik sprayer it's already loaded for you bud don't get the headlights the headlights

don't need it you don't uh i'm gonna panel prep them anyway okay i'm gonna go over a little bit fun

are you are you gonna coat the headlights yeah dude lucas what a guy just the front muffin oh my

tony is tony's all about the full send on the front he's tony's on our team with the full send

oh he just feels so wrong no it's it's not wrong i just don't have a lot of experience with full

send this is you don't and i mean i have lucas you're lucas this is amazing full send on wheels

lucas has the only thing i've used them on okay lucas you're one step away from a wipe on clear

coat uh water based dressing is absolutely there's nothing wrong with it just do it again as long as

it doesn't rain because what's gonna happen if it rains and that transfer starts going up to the

windshield it could create a streaky mess and it could become a safety issue but i would think

it's not going to transfer onto the windshield it's no because there's too much absorbed yeah and

even if it gets onto the windshield or the glass he can wipe it off he's built or something like

that just trying to avoid all these drips because i was planning on coating this trim right here

but now it's kind of covered in full send you can still but just wipe it off and then panel prep

it yeah and then trim trim plus it you'll be fine yeah yeah you're good dude you're doing great

great things so here's the deal lucas i think you should leave the hood alone till the end of the

thing but like in 10 minutes you can go level those doors and then paint prep your trim and

coat it but leave the hood till the end so that we can see the full process but the hood was a lot

drier but i do think you should do the roof i don't know the roof on that upper camera looks bad

really bad oh actually i would love to see this with this yeah zoom in Nick can we zoom in a

little bit there we go like watch it turn green oh all right while he's doing that jeff c 6 8 3 2

are those pieces of clear coat left is that what those i think those are the streak marks from the

from drawing oh okay any chance we can get an ultra safe sponge on a stick oh just leave it or at

least a trc chenille cover for the man on the stick so he's asking for a chenille mint cover or a

ultra safe sponge like material i mean anything's possible i know we did a man on a stick video

this last week and someone also threw out the idea about an m 22 style sleeve for the man on a stick

i feel like we've got some options a brewing what do you think anthony yeah good good idea jeff

actually jeff i think it was you wasn't it that mentioned it someone did right company the clear

coat failure paint looks like a horrible satin wrap job and it does well guess what not anymore

because after we full set this thing this is gonna look like it's straight out of a facebook

marketplace it's gonna look like glossy wrap yeah details official says luke is looking fresh and

that hoodie thanks for your support dude i need to order the idaho one i thought he had the idaho

one i asked him when he wanted to do it i do want to get a boise one i ordered this before the

boise ones drop i know i want to get one too i'm gonna do that yeah all right good what does uh

hydra say they're said well it says what does full send do and full send literally in injects

like moisture into the paint and it is just it's gonna be great so it's just it's just

a dressing yeah it's a water based silicone dressing so it is just giving that dry paint

all the silicone it needs and this is totally unconventional um but there's times that call

for situations like this it's sizzling like protector wax right now is it it's sizzling i

swear see i was right jeff see so now he's doing the entire car i love that jeff i was right that

was you it was a great idea and i commented back on your suggestion and i am seriously taking that

to the team so we can investigate an m22 drawing um cover for the on a stick yeah i know it looks

good it's looking real good but but what do you see happening on the hood that's been like that for

10 minutes what i it's starting to level out is what it's doing yeah oh oh oh okay starting to

level out and look at there's a reflection yeah you can actually see the reflection well true look

at those lights you could not see those in the hood earlier you guys we have right we got brush

question by jay z cars happy friday eve all got a question about brushes separating from brush

handles oh it hasn't happened too often but i have a couple detail factory brushes when it

happened you guys ever seen happen easy fix yeah i i've seen it happen and i know what causes it

which brushes well it was on it was on a boar's hair one and it was really old but i i think i

know what causes this to happen if you soak it in degreaser it will start to affect the glue that

how long are you soaking it in degreaser well this was years ago that i did it and i realized

what i did so because i left it like overnight and like power clean or something and it degraded

the adhesive which honestly it's really easy to fix them if you have this happen just use some like

yeah jay z cars a lot of old brushes yeah because there was a different gluing process that started

a couple years ago if they're older than a couple years old then then and you got a couple years

out of them and it eventually happened i'd be like i just but you can re glue them yeah so mine

was mine was on the orange handle with the boar's hair okay so the knot yeah it was very yeah older

yeah jay z can you not the new ones can you give us some i guess more oh jeez that's

can you give us more info on the the brush because i know like when it comes to cleaning brushes i

actually use uh the as wheeler just will retire cleaner and that works fantastic

so i'm trying to deviate from what these guys are pointing out glass cleaner he's doing a great job

he's gonna make you come dressing and then i'm going over and trying to like panel prep it like i

don't be fine oh okay all right it'll be fine you silly goose you guys worry about you which can

you answer their question uh this is this is far more exciting than a typically q and a t i'm really

glad that you said this silly goose because we were actually wondering if we were going to get

canceled after this so and poor lucas this is not lucas's fault before this even went live we were

like hey so what are your thoughts and lucas like no not a chance i had a whole process because he's

nervous it's like you know we're just doing whatever i'm just chasing at this point i'm trying to

like fix what's going on i don't know again we are one step away from my career so it's fine you're

doing a really good job lucas thanks man i wonder what brendan is thinking behind yeah but get get

you want to get in front of the dressing and get the glass cleaned off all right uh what else we got

there dane this is nuts i told you second half it's gonna be styled uh 2002 uh what do they say

they're said oh it says does anthony have anything else cooking in that mad scientist mind of his

and what has he in store for us for 2026 typically when he's got something cooking he runs to the

bathroom yeah you know and he doesn't usually tell anybody yeah and then he's gone for like

half an hour like anthony where are you yeah i mean we do get the full bathroom report but we

do not get to hear what he's cooking we do something i don't even get a chance to say anything

he just asked me a question and you took you answered it in your own way well two of us two

pre-existing and meditated thoughts apparently um that you have towards bathroom breaks so

thanks for asking styler um happy to answer that there is a few things yes a few actually

really exciting things cooking for 2026 um some of them will come sooner than later and there's

some stuff that may actually not even happen until 2027 but there's a lot of cool things that you

know we're we're working on right now and um it's not just me there's a lot of team members that

are that are they're all you can put in as well to make some really cool stuff so we'll see what

happens stay tuned cool next up sorry anthony yeah game silly goose says uh lucas looks defeated

he's not his normal spirit itself well we told him to address uh paint like he thinks that we're

probably messing with him right now but i mean i believe me i'm just i don't like it there's nothing

there's nothing that we could have done to make this car better if we were to polish it right

you're polishing the base coat we're gonna get a lot of paint transfer we might shine it up a

little bit that shine's gonna last like a little bit a week right until doxidizes again i think it

would have lasted longer potentially than like this is an experiment but you guys don't realize

we've got rain coming and the next couple so this car is gonna look as good as it's gonna look

until might survive rain it's not gonna survive i'm just scared that i'm gonna give this car back

to him and it's just gonna be this no no all over the paint no you're gonna level out those doors

here in a minute you're doing great things lucas if i could you know words of encouragement

yeah it's outside of my comfort zone and i don't like it where's levi i know you guys gonna

support you gotta levi give me some like jakey advice right now i know levi comes from the time

where we used to coat everything in dressing and just walk away do you know that like back in the

day you used to just spray dressing everywhere inside and close the doors and come back in 30

minutes it's true i mean that makes sense for dealership vehicles lucas be comfortable with

being uncomfortable yeah we should have got a can of the mvp um the spray stuff oh yeah like

watermelon like cover all or whatever yeah that would have been good you could have painted a car

with that for a while yeah it smells amazing too yeah i love that with watermelon scent that mvp

next door it actually has um it's like it's like uh i don't want to say it's like a it is a dressing

it's like it's an aerosol based dressing um and it's it's really good stuff you can spray fender

wells whether you can spray tires you spray everything with it but it smells like a wonderful

watermelons yeah it smells like minty creamsicle in the studio right now right yeah all right what

else we got there dane i'm so glad we do this car when none of the rest of the crew want to touch

it i recommend it dane needs credit for this yeah dane but they don't have a pedestal and said i think

we're gonna do brennan's car and all of us foo fooed it and we said for dane we can't do that on

live that's insane and he goes i want to do this and i want credit for it and it's gonna be awesome

and right now our viewership is great i don't think he said it that way anthony he didn't

no he just said hey uh brennan's car is next week because i'm running out of ideas oh maybe

maybe that's what it was keep in mind dane has been on it as far as picking your car each week so

that in itself is dane what is the truth here can you leave us a comment let us yeah juice free

there you go done the dane this is the coolest car you have had on here i bet matt is punching

the air right now oh i don't know silly use the rag company i will expect to similarly

challenging vehicles in the future yes no wait till you see the interior we should give anthony one

no we should give an i do i could do amazing things a little bit of time except what's gonna

what's gonna happen is i'm gonna be over there with i can't like 2k clear code and a mask and

yes you're gonna be like what are you doing yeah yeah paint booth oh coach emi you say lucas just

saying i don't like it it's so funny okay try wiping down one of the doors yeah can we see a

door wipe please i just you would have like a 365 we're gonna call it leveling hydra detailing

great live show some real action i'm not seeing in any daily details make it different and

amusing so there hope you're not doing this on the daily they're amused lucas you're giving

the people what they want all right it's coming up with solutions about to be even more mindful

yeah no one can see oh there we go

i'll give it to you it's doing something it's doing something while he's wiping what will tar and

adhesive remover due to paint now flip it and just yeah i kind of get it in tar and adhesive remover

if left too long um it can soften your paint potentially that is one thing that anthony

i kind of learned the hard way um i don't it could potentially just depending on what kind it is

etch or do something of that sort anthony sydney do you guys have anything to add to that it depends

on the condition of the paint too right i mean like if you put adhesive remover on this car it's

going to take the paint right off anthony is invested oh lucas is making a look it's just

streaky i don't know it do a secondary so we have yeah it's right here so you

have some dry spots right here like all this looks really good right so good dry spots that's

what anthony is noticing he's giving lucas advice he's pointing and saying telling lucas what he

needs to do you know what you should use an applicator lucas is walking away and uh uncertainty

anthony is looking at like oh yeah yeah nick is asking hey you guys this is becoming so insane

so nick is behind the scenes asking is there any reason why we didn't just do a hand wax

um so basically what anthony is saying hand wax wouldn't have done the same cleaner wax would

have dried it out more anthony is indicating that if we had done hand wax it wouldn't have absorbed

lucas's arm would have fallen off and it wouldn't have fixed the situation or make it look good

like this so that's what he's saying david boy says poor lucas they're making you take a

motorplast approach to the paint and panels yes yep lucas you are a real mvp co-shaming

you to say dr anthony needs his stethoscope at this point oh he needs something new from here

you can start working on the uh trim soaking wet is it yeah well you could clean the windows

inside and out with bill oh where enough actually inside windows get the inside windows yeah

carabare killer if lucas is uncomfortable now can you imagine if sheep skin uh cameos was still

the garden oh shammy oh my bad holy smokes what is happening right now was still the

go-to drying method yeah that would be terrible sorry actually those would probably work great

for wiping off the full scent not gonna lie wet a little wipe around the headlights inside windows

is definitely what we need to be focusing on right i honestly just love how mad the

consistently what i love this is what i love right we're getting all these comments from

everybody and it feels like they're in in this with us all but jeff understands like this is

like the old car show guys that lay down lemon pledge absolutely same idea or wd 40 same idea

catastrophic like this is like this is your level of wipe on clear i remember the limit so now

with this it's just there's really not much you can do wrong so when i worked at lows right back

in the day we used to spray all the machines down with lemon pledge right and you let itself level

and you walk away right and people would be like that's shine on this isn't insane yeah leprechaun

levi approves nice okay yeah i knew he'd be with us we'll send here you go yeah hydra detailing

looks like uh that care is made shiny and slippery ready for a valentine

from the outside yeah lucas did a great job he did thanks man

rewash that car with some decon soap and start over says joey no can you imagine trying to dry it

after that can you imagine the floor yeah uh yeah so details official we were kind of saying that

like perfect situation for p&s no ruby so yeah another spray spray dressing absolutely it does

actually look slick look at that car at that angle it is seven shades different can you use

hand you know what i mean hand sanders and some kcx 01 yeah that would be a problem gloves so it

isn't all right uh anthony silly goose i feel so guilty for enjoying this i know lucas is so sad

what can we do lucas uh more likes i guess yeah just send him some love we made him we made him

reach out leave us a google review and let uh you know let lucas know in the car yeah customer

service yeah send him a good customer service sending you know white meal white said the paint

is similar to what ford used to do in the 90s to their mustangs where it would be three to four

different colors in the paint depending on the angle you'd look at it in the sun yeah it is kind

of starting that way but i mean it is like look at that hood it is a totally different color green

yeah it it's something sure is something yeah uh he's stellar 2002 the rag company lucas is never

washing a car on camera again you did him dirty oh don't worry styler he's gonna do it every chance

he gets it's great oh yeah we're we're thoroughly enjoying this steve pierce and anthony uh we need

ron and chime in on proper firepole maintenance and etiquette yeah that would be very yeah yeah

i have a feeling that we have said everything wrong on the show today we have definitely done a lot

of wrong yeah doing uh hello from southern illinois glad i can make it for the live can't wait for

trcma nice dylan we don't want you to want you to come out or come don't come out we want you to

show up what are you trying to say i don't know i'm trying to say i want i don't know i was juice

free good question juice can i use rinseless or apc when wet sanding headlights i would use

rinseless rinseless rinseless yeah so you can use rinseless or if what's gonna happen is you can

just use water as well um when wet sanding so what happens is that sometimes with certain rinseless is

due to the polymers right that you won't have this much cut as you're looking for so what what

you can do is you can actually use a rinseless to your benefit it will help encapsulate and

remove some of that extra you know grit that you're pulling off or the extra old uh oxidation

slash old paint but it will i don't want to say like it'll not mute your sandpaper it will make

it slightly less effective but if you know how to do that properly it could work in your benefit

i've done it with oh and r and i haven't had too many issues yeah but i understand what you're

saying you're saying that water will still be the best because it's a lubricant as a lubricant

for cutting well it is a lubricant but water is also a solvent technically but i mean technically

yeah but it's it's just you're not working as hard there's no friction modification happening

with just water alone you're just that's that's how when people are developing wet sandpaper sandpaper

the lubricant is water that is what they are using as their base what about play spray like k6

play spray that has probably some light detergent in it maybe some like friction modifiers so

basically like you're just water is the foundation which sandpaper is made on and tested on when you

throw in a rinse list you're going to mute the effects of it a little bit but that might be okay

depending on what you're doing fair see Pearson now this is my kind of detailing hope everyone

is doing great especially lucas i don't know if this is any base kind of detail oh here's ron

there we have fire pull expert um ronnie ron help us out good afternoon what's up chair c family

jeff c said yeah he says the wash bay wall is looking great thanks for noticing it's not a

little bit of a makeover today or this week yeah oh man this week yeah we change it this week yeah

of the vinyl it looks so good so shout out to Nate and uh josh bro for installing it looks so good

yep thank you yep uh super rad uh 2k that's hilarious the japanese beetles are going to love

dain's new deck i don't think dain was ready for that yeah do you guys remember the story like like

he basically it was i don't want to go too far into it basically dain had like a bug situation

right where he had like these beetles showing up all over his house and he was like oh i think

they're like good luck beetles like i i looked them up weren't they what he was eating his grass or

something yeah kind of like he said they were harmless and they're it's kind of like a sign of

good luck and then we realized that it wasn't the good luck style of beetle but it was the opposite

which is like essentially like uh like a takeover like a bug is um becomes like a

infestation an infestation yeah right and he thought the luck it was a luck thing still

and we said no this is an actual issue you need to address this and i miss those days yeah or dain

joey you gotta be careful on the modesta fire pulls i wonder what he means by that the red company

i thought they were lady bugs they weren't lady bugs dain they were yeah it was an infestation

yeah they were taking over your home oh here we go ron said what did he say ron says at

steve pierce in one two three our old hq had a poll every wednesday was brass day all of the brass

and the station was cleaned and polished the pole the bells the apparatus floor and the upstairs

and door so then ron what did you guys clean them with what did you clean them with and did you uh

our keeper's friend maybe yeah and did you did you make them slippery or did you what did you put

on for protection yeah that's true i wonder ron if it was bar keepers friend those things must have

been like listening yeah i love bar keepers um fine detailing easy says hi friends good to see you

all hi ryan oh ryan hey uh what's up fellow heart of trc yeah part of trc this year didn't he he did

yep it's a wonderful award all right uh anthony ryan congrats the two hearts in the house oh

how are you doing over there lucas pretty good how about you guys doing good we're worried about you

don't need no need to worry we're just getting this trim all prepped ready to cope but i keep

getting full sen dripping on everything so i keep having to go back and panel prep it it's all right

city's uh hydra's open the doors car candy coming to europe soon uh i don't know i'll have to ask i hope so

all right next up here we've got ron says um our station two built tonight 1895 oh my gosh

still has a pole but nobody uses it oh wow why ron why would nobody want to use it

it was built in it i don't think i don't yeah i mean i don't think i'd be on a firefight yeah i

don't think they use them anymore i've been in the detailing business 35 years uh work alone

in 58 years old hi from oakland that's awesome um hello maryland very cool i'm gonna be in maryland

this summer are you yeah i'm gonna go visit my friends family friends nice it's a maryland is what

it is that's why they call it maryland not moving on shagolinski says this is wild behavior

yes it is sometimes that happens yeah it's the full send getting the best of us yeah was it was it

the uh toilet plunger on the hood or the full send on the full car that i wonder what brennan's

thinking uh i've seen other people use um other items to get those dents out with success what are

those items joey can you just describe them in detail yeah i can't believe karson has come out here

tell anthony to start from the edge and work ron i was i was trying to just do a one like center

it and yank it and just have it be like done i didn't i was that's what i was hoping for and it

didn't prove it probably like 50 but like it definitely did um i know what you're saying and

realistically i think we needed a little bit more like you need the actual more suction power yeah

a little more as a pdr uh point pointless ten right oh my gosh you know what we could have

done it with we could have done it with one of our little go pro window mounts right that's what i

was thinking i was thinking i have to have one yeah and we could have yanked it that way that's

what i was thinking actually i have some of those in my bag said what does hydra say hydra says i asked

one to two years ago for the same towel type as the most popular guion silk dryer now the slim

dryer of trc is here and i compared them side by side and the slim dryer wins the contest what

that's awesome hydra thank you for the compliments nice that's uh that was anthony's uh design

well i mean yeah oh wow okay g davis coming in hot uh not the first time anthony's used a plunger

with no success now there eight we did improve that by by i don't think you guys realize did he

learn that in florida oh did you learn that oh gosh

oh a three koshemi you say this dent removal it's impressive yeah yeah it is it really is

welcome to the rad company yeah

it doesn't it doesn't look really good under the hood so that's another idea maybe

it once we get off camera we we pop the hood is the other end of the do you guys want to see them to

to push from underneath do you want to see them on camera off camera uh try to pop this dent

i got i got i got so we cracked the hood right so we get it towards like kind of partially cracked

yeah we get the middle on a stick because we have to use non-conventional tools right like

we get the middle on a stick the end of it go do it we get the back of the middle on a stick

like the end of it and we kind of get underneath there and apply some pressure go do it right

and then we get lucas to do a yank okay you want to do it yeah now i don't know give the people

what they want we'll see if they if they want to see a dame put a poll put a poll on do you guys

want to see uh unconventional pdr occur furthermore on this hood all right lucas hates us

said what do we got hello t rc crew just passing by to give you a shout out and we'll catch up later

enjoy thank you for watching next up here come on dade stutter says right company that is needs to be

that needs a super aggressive clay bar yeah except the clay bar is just gonna remove more

clear coat like you know there's a base coat yeah yeah it's pretty bad yeah styler it's really bad

actually yeah do it do it do it now do it to what i don't know what he's saying do it to yeah

probably the absolutely underneath the hood is that the pdr yeah that's the unconventional pdr

okay so the pointless dent repair i actually like all right so anthony does not have a mic so well he

is over there yes uh doing that i will give commentary while trying to answer as many questions

well we have three of them said i think we actually have four so we're okay anthony use that

section so won't spur it says yes what else we got there dane they all want to see it that's the

good news gosh juice free well he sanded it three times it looked like he only sanded it once no

he's really good at what he does yes he yeah he knew how to fling the paper that's what we do around

here yeah david boys drc app even calculates a pri r ratios for you yeah yep so cool yeah i love it

i am gonna download the drc app but it but yeah yeah yeah all right what else we got dane

go ahead all right uh i'm not sure what the name is lki up uh can we can't can we get an update on

the new trc sprayer will it be out anytime soon do they mean the pressure oh pressure washer um

stay tuned we got more info uh trc ma that's where you want to be yeah oh he do you need the pop clip

pullers we have those we've got them in that drawer lucas anthony's like why would we use actual tools

that oh no anthony oh my gosh i don't know about okay i was thinking you were gonna lay it down and

then put pressure on the okay where the sweet spot is i got it he's looking for the sweet spot

say uh call us his auto detailing just wait i wish i wish you guys could see jimmy's face right

now he just walked in in the studio wondering what is happening what is happening

he's drinking a soda just wait till you all have been in the detailing business for 35 years and

50 years old like myself and i work alone i've seen just about everything right but i was wondering

like i mean are we wrong on this i don't know jimmy do you want to come over here and sit down with us

and i'm okay he it does not want to be a part of this he wants the up close yo trc i'm a big fan

from korea nice korea and thanks for tuning in thanks mini s1 and q4 q sorry i'm trying to get

right dan's diamond detailing says i love dad jokes but then again pretty much at 39

got to enjoy the dry side of life thanks dan i i'd like to yeah once my kids are not in preschool

and they're actually older and they understand i hope they too as well think the same see i would

have just used the end of the plunger and just whacked i was thinking more or less like you

stand it vertical and then you push the hood down right yeah that's what but he is going true pdr

yeah he's going method all method all methodology over here that's a great angle right there for us

to see if it's working um it's definitely improved i'd say yeah all right angry monkey detailing

says hello all delaney did a great job with her sass and spunk was so fun can she get into the

detailing rotation ooh we can work on that she would probably be down for that she would she would

she would probably be down for that she loves talking uh ron he was responding to someone

started in the mid-1980s i'm 72 and still detailing i also work alone ages just a number

and an attitude i love that you can't have a midlife crisis if you refuse to grow there you go

there you go i love that i love that too which means just buy and do some crazy stuff i'm just

what is the scent if any of ads pilot i don't know that i don't know what that's right it's what

citrus it's like that's what it smells like anyway it just smells like fresh anthony do you know

and clean to me scent of sit ads pilot what's the scent anthony fresh fresh there you go

as in depth as we can get here at the rad company kosher me you see is the color on this Honda

what the kids call brish racing green i like that i'd like to think so uh pablo pablo concrete

a lot to rc hello pablo concrete we haven't seen you in a hot minute it's good to see you man

details official i'm late but i still made it had a gnarly horse trailer detail today wow

holy smokes he's not horsing around with that that sounds like it was probably pretty similar

to what we did yesterday oh my gosh yeah so to give you guys an idea yesterday well gosh i love

that they're doing like jimmy on a stick underneath oh my gosh full send it's sticking though because

of the full send so yesterday jimmy finished a video shoot on glens jeep and her jeep was caked

long story short our wash bay filtration system got extremely plugged so we had to pull up the

swiss tracks it looked like the bottom of a horse trailer it was disgusting so we know how you feel

huh yeah and it's lucas' fault because he didn't properly do a rinse list or rinse outside that's

not what happened he uh i was told to do it a certain way oh wow now he's pulling out like the

real he's pulling out a real steel poles all right the rag company taking that hood from swirls

to swirlies swirlies are prettier oh dang see and i'm the one with the dad jokes and you're

throwing it out now he's getting rid of the male on a stick he thinks it's too soft for the paint so

he's going some say i agree like that you know the cushioning was doing its job the issue is is how

is he seeing what he's doing with the he knows where the top is okay cheap star retail go for it

said i have a 20 amp 240 volt service i can use for a compressor anyone with experience with the

20 amp 240 volt unit i want something that can run an air gun oh i don't i don't yeah i haven't

i don't know i don't know if you'd want to run an air compressor off of a 20 amp

yeah like on its own a dedicated yeah but i i don't know i don't know uh cells from details

what's up to your cfam what's up sell it's good seeing our minds today sal but it's good to see

yeah we are going from detailed to pdr apparently here in the studio it's actually looking really

good Lucas looks tired dan he i think he's tired of us more so than just physically though

no it turned it turned into a it turned into a panel of three telling lucas to do bad things

yeah are you guys getting anywhere it's looking good it's getting somewhere it's just yeah this had

a little bit more suck like it's like i could feel it like it wants to buy it's just uh not quite

the details are all dyslexic that is true but dan to be fair reading these comments sometimes

it's hard to it's hard to break down the user names yeah yeah uh david boy says anthony you

need to buy lucas dinner you guys destroyed his vibe stole his joy i want to point out he didn't

even say anthony but he put that on you no i didn't say that no uh joey balinsky coding to headlights

is really what's gonna set this off oh they're coding

that dent looks significantly better gents holy cow i mean it's still there so what we got now

is we have a high spot oh god i see it yeah i see it you weren't even close i see it what's that

it's right in the middle yeah so we have a oh go get the go pro mount in the office

no so do you share do you want another reason why i did so bad yeah anthony is gonna explain

something to lucas while he's getting over here how many miles are on that accord let's i'll tell the

people oh it's a digital gauge so darn it doesn't it say when it you open the door i think it's like

two or three hundred thousand whoa it's almost three hundred thousand miles go the reason why it's

so bad is so on on the underside of a pond or you have all the bracing the hood well you know this

the support structure right that dent is right on the support structure the support structure right so

it's not the reason why it didn't just suck out right like if it was between that like one of the

honeycomb recesses then yeah you could just like you single pull it'll pop right out but because

of where it is you're basically like even what we were doing there just trying your this is a this

is a pry yeah and then you know create a high spot then level it back out type of situation yeah

so i mean is it better than what it was yeah yeah yeah it's a lot better but like how's the paint

looking i mean it looks great on camera i just tried to spread a little bit more stressing with

an applicator it looks pretty bad right there kind of removed it but that shot looks terrible

yeah uh details official says a little tire shine and you won't even notice the paint well

lucas we are almost ready for you to start drying this thing in about another three minutes is the

plunger available on the trc website you said it is 20 off right now with the valentine's day

sale happening and if you buy a plunger in a kit you get over 30 off so that's something to note

details official oh no the hood is melting yeah i know that the plunger is actually part of our

valentine's day sale because nothing says love yeah like plunging right yeah

juice free says watch all the pdr guys buy

i'm trying to i'm trying to regroup here watch all the pdr guys buy the middle of stick now so

for what it's worth the middle of stick she started bending and i was like this isn't gonna

work yeah yeah um but like it actually if it was you know slightly more rigid for that yeah maybe

yeah tony wanted buffin tony wanted you to use more paint prep so that the dent so that the plunger

would stick gosh yeah that is too funny they have a lot of fun here great decision coming up with car

candy uh the new york new york's e-family are great folks i have sold raw chemicals uh

comedies to both uh interstate and car candy over the years thank you pretty excited about it

love the effort boy says wolfsburg yeah thank you yeah uh bad things you're teaching luke

this amazing life lesson yeah i'm i want to see him uh dry this thing i know i'm really looking

for lucas what are you gonna use to dry it dry intel whatever you use what's going tell you guys

okay with me i don't know one that we're not going to put back into the to the inventory because we

don't want it to uh maybe you should use leftover uh ripping rags no watch me i'm okay no that's too

now give them like give them just a little like a small liquidator throw me a color you know honestly

here's here's where i would actually use a gauntlet really yeah i would i'd use a gauntlet i don't

want that gauntlet going back into the mix though it's gonna get get dressing well you're gonna have

to sacrifice one this one's a good one you're gonna have to suck well no we said use a bad one but

you're gonna have to set looks like a unicorn with the plunger so

so you know what you should do is just drive around and just stick it dude like just leave it

mario and luigi's detailing and further services there you go

see neil white says you guys should leave the plunger on the hood and drive them boisey

see how long it takes to cook a cop to pull you over that'd be pretty funny the cops are

pretty patient here go for it oh my gosh dude this is a sticky mess no lucus you got to put a

little bit of a grease into it you're gonna have to actually like get a buffett miag yet i'm surprised

all the tears he isn't in the bay

it's still slightly better but it'll flash man that is rough dude you know how hard i'm having to

push it out on this car like oh no and you did clear right

that's the reason i did i played half the hood that doesn't feel any different i need to play

no but you know what this is so

okay but now if you took another towel and like

buff it would that work so you know what though lucus here's the deal look at it man

look at it so a our dent is gone well okay well it's slightly still there it looks better

it looks incredible yeah

oh no oh silly goose would also love to see more lady

well after after lucus tells us he's never doing this again we may have to go with it

this is the house

uh lucus for what it's worth wolfsburg says this has been the best live ever

oh damn right damn

god wow we didn't know this was gonna be a sticky mess no we didn't coach we did not know that this

was gonna be a sticky mess you know hey man i tried to plead my case before i started this

it could have gone either way and it went the wrong way dress on dress off it's gonna be okay

one year of daily practice lucas will be the dressing yes can we see the hood shot angle please nick

oh so you just hammer the support from the bottom easy peasy yeah yeah oh man hey that

didn't look a lot better man i'm not gonna lie i think that's great i mean it's less than half of

what it was yeah yeah we're lucas right that's why we're probably giving me unreal engine vibes

from uh forza horizon it is well lucas really put in some elbow grace here kcx stands a lucas

okay no lucas that's looking nice that's looking nice i know it's effort but like oh it looks great

on camera what happened to all the gloss what happened all the gloss oh it's there see look it

you could have seen the rag company logo before right yeah no you're right you couldn't

it was just flat you're right what are you talking about it still is will pass and clog

agali yes yeah i don't think it's gonna wash out of that gauntlet we're gonna that gauntlet's

gonna be trash unfortunately yeah no that looks awesome breathing yeah i feel bad

lucas it looks killer thanks man let's get all right what do you say do a test spot first

we do say that we did tell me test part of the whole hood and then we said that yeah let's go

this is the first time the globe has collectively witnessed the bogey lucas no we were not bullying

him and to be fair we this car is really bad and we were coming up with listen hey let's make it

even harder here we're coming up with solutions like you guys should see the interior like the

interior needs okay we're not going and we uh it's fine we could uh looks like uh he needs a drying

aid got any on our wash and wax that might help yeah maybe do you want a drying aid yeah

there's ribs streaking up even more hope this kcx podcast gets that entertainment on the one of

these days we could arrange for that yeah we could you want to have it here oh no i feel bad for

lucas remember you made the comment earlier about uh a hand wax and here he is here he is wiping off

full send as if it were a hand wax no hand wax would have been way more difficult yeah yeah it would

have been like a loop like that true he wouldn't have so he would have done the hand wax but would

have been there you go he would have had not holograms so he would have had the the circular

motion yeah they would have stayed anyways trust me this is better it's sad as it is yeah so lucas

how is it doing where there's actually clear coat what how is it doing where there's actually

clear coat where uh um it's like is it how's it feeling you're wiping on the clear yeah maybe like

ten percent smoother okay it's pretty rough okay this car is pretty rough i was hoping it was

gonna feel like if that plunger doesn't end up on the next sticker i'll be upset with joey

listen what we will have at tear sema is an amateur pdr segment of it's just it's just boys

plunging hoods you know and um ever a question yeah so off of last week's conversation when i get my

customer service stickers they need to have a plunger on them yeah there you go small sit small

fish 60 what's the best best microfiber towels rag company microfiber towels yeah yeah rag company

there's so many and if we're being specific probably the ftw the best towels for your needs

and go to the rag company dot com because we do have a complete list of our towels and all sorts

of oh i think lucas i think jeff c says i think lucas will be no sen lucas as he will be forever

scarred by this experience where's karson i feel like karson has missed this entire thing i hope

he's watching no i hope he isn't because then karson's next right we we no i'm just kidding

okay karson we got a new idea that we've never tried ron i know uh the fire reply the firepulls

they were cleaned by the brasso metal polish okay okay yeah cool uh does lucas take over the full

he does actually full sen lucas is in the house right now yeah i don't think he's really stoked

about that title i'm pretty uh lucas needs a pole to be able to escape the detail

oh sorry lucas i recently learned that a certain era vintage uh sewing sewing machines had automotive

paints on their metal exteriors yes i have a singer that has automotive paint on it yeah

very true oh what else dane it's it's four o'clock i just wonder i just some spray wax will definitely

fix that yeah i just wonder what this next pass with like a nice towel on that hood good thing you

coated this you know like in a in a in a different product or just a distant just like take a fresh

towel now and buff that hood lucas it's four o'clock we're about to conclude this so we can

come okay i'm gonna just give you 10 seconds okay we're gonna get lucas yeah some 10 seconds uh

dane do you have any other comments like look at the fender shine so coach save the towel for the

next time you do whatever it is oh oh juice free you should do a rinseless wash to remove the dressing

we might have to yeah and while you guys are doing that um can we get some shots of the car

after the first rain we will get some pictures and we'll post it on the next uh q and a one thing i

want to do look at that don't throw the gauntlet away it'll wash out that looks so nice what's he

doing now he's buffing and it was making all that go away uh oh this is not going to be good

no that's not going to be good this is terrible okay i'm sure lucas uh can't go home until it's

shine like it was day one vehicle that would be insane hydra just every trc chemical you have on

there one definitely will work out tony this is terrible so while we're doing this date i'm gonna

do a little bit of housekeeping lucas was done done done yeah so some housekeeping uh for final

just reminders um is that there is a sale on the rand company site right now 20 off all armor

detail supply products uh and if you use promo code abs 20 you'll get 20 off and up to 30 off

special bundles so if you scroll down to the bundles nick some of the really awesome bundles to

consider in your shopping spree obviously the rinseless uh bundle is pretty significant you're

essentially getting the towel buying the towel and getting herald for free and then the bundle

with the uh trim plus if you haven't tried trim plus and you were somebody who is dealing with

faded plastics that is a fantastic option the trim plus is a combination of not just a a

die if you will but also a ceramic sealant all in one making your trim not only rejuvenated looking

new but also keeping it long lasting so it's got a combination of the detail factory brush

it's got the applicators to apply and of course your uh your ripping rags which you can use

outside of just this kit you can use it for so many other things so that is a great option

if you're looking for something and then the uh Carson black um armor wheel and tire bundle he

created that combination both cleaning your wheels and your tires you've got your wash mitt

for your wheel face you've got your tire brush and then you've got your gauntlets in conjunction

with beads to add a little bit of ceramic uh protection and hydrophobics to your wheels making

your wheels stay clean longer and easier to clean in the following wash so that is a great option

as well so definitely check this out and of course there is a sweet sweet awesome sticker

no it does not have a plunger but it is pretty dang awesome so with that said before we conclude

I want to take this over to really the star of the show for today Mr. Lucas Blaine and I want to

have him do some final touches before we conclude thanks guys oh no all right guys so we had a blast

today so we got this thing cleaned up wheels and tires boom they're done

headlights are restored and coated with phobic and full send as a topper um we can

we can probably reapply that next rain maybe it's a drying aid of some sorts um

dog we made it you know what I mean so take it away guys
