EV vs. ICE Vehicles: Should We Detail Them Differently? | Q&A

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to yet another Q&A Thursday here at the Rag Company, where I'm

your host, Dane Hennan. That's right, I'm back in the room with the detailing and the stuff. And I'm

also in the room with Anthony Fisher here. Dane, thank you so much for having me. Glad to be here.

And you're correct, we finally unchained you from the back room. We've released you out of my cage

to the public to be able to join us for this beautiful Q&A Thursday. Now, it's not just

us today. No, in fact it's not. Over in the distance, what do we have, Dane? There's a

wild Carson, and he's got a little something to say, because it's a special detail today. What's up?

We are detailing an ICE vehicle. And so a little bit different than your normal, or excuse me, we're

detailing an EV. Yeah, we're not detailing an ICE vehicle like we normally would. But yeah,

we're going to have some fun. Use some of my favorite products today. It's the dealer's

choice, if you will. And yeah, have some fun. So just to clarify, internal combustion engine

versus an EV. Yeah, electric vehicle. Gotcha. We wash a lot of internal combustion cars here.

When you pop the hood, you see something a little different. In this case, there are no pistons.

There's no internal combustion going on under there whatsoever. You've got some orange cables,

which indicate high voltage. Yes. But it's just an electric car. Something, of course,

to be a little bit careful with right when you're dealing with super, super high voltage.

Washing the exterior of the car should be roughly the same. But we're going to be

delicately detailing the engine bay today. Or if you want to call it the engine bay.

Yeah. I mean, it's dirty in there. Sure. Yeah.

Still gets attention like an engine bay. Yeah, we definitely just wanted to clear that up, just

for sure. So anyways, we are super excited to be here. It's a beautiful Thursday.

And I want to say thank you to everybody who has gone to theradicombing.com

and purchased some goods during the sale, which the sale has finally ended.

But we just had an awesome Labor Day sale. And so I think that a lot of people scored

pretty big, right? You know, 20% off almost everything and tons of awesome door busters.

And so needless to say, all these packages have either shipped or currently in the process

of being shipped out. So just kind of keep an eye out for the tracking number and when

those are going to arrive to you. Because, you know, detailing season is still in full

effect, Dane. You know, we are coming. It's high time right now.

Technically. Wait, hold on. What's your math telling you? Dane, are we going into fall right now?

Did you feel that too? I think I felt that as well, right? September, October, November.

It's September now. Yes, it is September. Yes, it's been September for four days.

Holy crap. So we are officially into fall. Oh my. We are officially in fall right now.

It's my favorite shoulder season. So, yeah. Shoulder. What does that even mean?

Are you not familiar with the concept of shoulder seasons? No, I don't.

Shoulder seasons are like the half and half to the whole milk of winter and summer.

So the shoulder seasons are your fall and your spring shoulder seasons.

Gosh, I didn't know. They're the lesser seasons, but not in my heart.

To me, they are their own full seasons, but you call them shoulder seasons because they're kind of

on the way to other parts. Fall is everything. Call me basic, but I'm a fall guy, right?

You're a fall guy. That's a whole other thing. So, needless to say, we are into September now,

which is awesome and hopefully hoping for cooler weather, at least where we're at,

and perhaps where you are. You might already be getting into some cooler weather

or you might be looking forward to warmer weather, right? Depending on how far south

you are, right? So, with that said, we've still been doing a lot of detailing here,

but not getting a lot of content. Actually, we had a friend of the program, Dan Degna,

also known as Alkaline Tophat. Alkaline Trio was what we nicknamed him,

who was here for a few days and we actually were detailing his Audi RS4.

Yeah, and it was actually a beautiful car underneath all of that dirt and bugs and

grime. I saw what it looked like when you guys are done. It's gonna look great in that

video. I'm excited. So, he road tripped all the way from, I think it was Pennsylvania or

something like that? Yeah. No, he picked up the car, gosh, it's somewhere, where was it?

It was close to Philly, but not quite. I can't remember exactly, but he drove all the way

through. He actually stopped through the RAG company here for a few days. We focused on

detailing and cleaning the car and we actually shot a pretty cool video for you guys that

will be coming out here in the next few weeks. And yeah, so, here's kind of a rundown of

the future here, well, not the future, but of the plans here at TRC. Starting next week,

we have some more friends coming into town, which we're really excited about. We're actually going

to be starting with a lot of some kind of pre-TRC machutes, which is going to be really fun.

So, we'll have a week of doing that and then following that week, we'll actually be jumping

into our next brand week that I think many of you will enjoy, which is going to be

really, really fun. So, yeah, we're looking forward to an awesome fall and Halloween is

right around the corner, so just please mark your calendars. RAG company Halloween is always a fun

time. We are going to try to produce and release some pretty cool stuff around then. So just

throwing that out into the ether right now. Yeah, so that's pretty much been it,

but Dane, anything new with you? What's been new in your life? You know, just the use,

losing a little weight, doing various things, feeling it better and better. I'm wearing bright

colored shirts lately and I'm kind of spicing it up a little bit. Would you call it a scale

pattern is what that is? Yeah, yeah, it's kind of like almost like scallops. It looks like fish

scales to me. I could see that. Kind of trout-like. Give or take. Maybe more carp-like,

I'm not really sure yet. I don't keep that close an eye on fish scales, so I don't know the

differences. Yeah, me either. I definitely don't do that. Kind of felt like it did. That would be

weird. Kind of felt like that's where you're going with that. No, no, no. But no, we've been holding

the fort down here at TRC. We've been having a lot of fun lately. So with that said, let's

go ahead and jump into some comments. Also, a huge shout out to RJ from WD for showing up last

week to hang out with us for the Q&A and shoot some content as well. Awesome guy. Dude,

I mean, seriously, RJ from WD. Super, super cool. We love meeting people in the industry,

that kind of matra energy and that are really down to earth. He was a great hang. He was a

really, really real guy. He was just fun. Well, in the tough part, truthfully, we've met a lot

of detailers. We've met a lot of YouTubers. There's different kinds. There's definitely

different kinds of YouTubers out there. And we never know what we're going to get, right? What

flavor of YouTuber are we going to get? And RJ was just that dude who's just an awesome guy.

I mean, all around, you know, loves detailing, loves making videos. And we got along really,

really well. So, all right. So we have first from Puerto Rico, hello TRC team. Humberto,

what is going on? It's not a show without Humberto. It's not. And then he also says,

hopefully none of you are sick. No, not last I checked. Humberto, why would you say

that? Don't put that. Are you trying to jinx us? Knock on wood. What's going on? Hey,

knock on something wood there, Carson. We don't want you getting sick either. You got a wooden

noggin. Yeah. All right. Moving along. We've got Dan Pfeiffer here with a good afternoon

and word up from a cloudy Minnesota USA. Happy Friday Eve TRC gang. Looking forward to another

great Q and A. I agree. And then he follows that up with Alex here saying, Alex,

hello, you beautiful people. See you this weekend. My God, it's that soon. Yep. It's coming up that

quickly. We'll see you very soon, Alex and Buddy Joey as well. Now, Mac here. What's Mac saying?

Happy early weekend, everyone. Mac, what's going on? Welcome to the party. Glad to see you here.

And then he also says, scheduled to have our first Saturday without rain in over two months

in Jacksonville, Florida. Can't wait to do a throw deacon wash. Wow. That's crazy.

Yeah. That is something to celebrate, Mac. Yeah, absolutely. And then we've got ourselves

Shark Blue Turbo, who's been pumping up more and more lately. Happy to see you here and your E30

in the picture. Love seeing that. Assuming that's yours. And then we got David Boyce here. David

Boyce saying, afternoon, everyone. David, what's going on? He's just saying, hey,

with a little salute there. Then Shark Blue Turbo follows up. What's he saying?

Just got my wheel mitts. They look great. So amazing as a two-pack as well. Going to try them

on some 20 ones. Nice. Okay. Sounds like a plan. I like that plan. Then we've got Stilly's Mobile

Detailing. Hello, hello, hello. Happy Friday Eve, TRC crew. Can't wait to get my Labor Day

sale order delivered. We're excited for you as well, man. Labor Day sale was a very

busy one. I'm honestly surprised at the turnout for that one. It was impressive.

Yeah. Then we got Alpha Tango 4, our friend AT4 popping in. Just saying, dang. Yep. What's going on?

Happy to see you, man. Then I've got DIY with Kane, Anthony. Hello, TRC. Reasons to procrastinate

work. Emails has begun. Minnesota checking in. Nice. Glad to see you in here. Always happy

to have a few Minnesota folks. Midwest in general. You guys are fun. We like having

in here. And Detail Grind podcast with the ominous. Hello, Anthony. That seems to happen every

single week. I'm not sure why that happens. Every time. David Boyce loving the pre-show music.

Then we got Megan Beck in the show here saying, hey, from Tally Hasse, y'all. Megan, what's

going on? Appreciate that. Then let's see. Well, it would take somebody with a Mopar in

their picture to say, internal combustion versus EV is fighting words. Just saying, yeah, no. I get

it, man. You're probably a fan of the old V8, I bet. And I'm not saying one's better than the

other. It's different strokes for different folks. I happen to be a fan of both in different

applications. All right. Detail Grind saying, afternoon, Dane. There's a period at the end

of that. I feel like that's almost feels like a threat. Like when somebody puts a period,

like punctuation, a period at the end of a text message or something. It always feels way too

serious. A message from them just felt more ominous than that. I don't enjoy when people put a period

at the end of their like sentence in a text. It feels threatening. It does. Next up. Chat,

how do you feel about that? All right. Moving along. Old school P&S question. All right,

Stilly. Well, throw it at us. We're waiting and listening. And GM Car Care, what's he saying?

Hey guys, the new Grand Baster for TRC Europe is here. What's going on? Nice. Congratulations.

Love that. Congratulations, man. Mac Bergson says, I placed an order for the air blaster

and some new microfibers. I can't wait to get them in. Nice, Mac. You're gonna have a good

time. You blasted away all of your problems. Hans Klosen. Who is the guy on the left with

that dress shirt? I mean, I think the man with the dragging tattoo is asking who you are.

It's been so long since I've been out here. I get it, you guys. You miss me, right? You

miss me? Maybe a little? Okay. I appreciate you. Those of you who did. If you didn't,

maybe I'll grow on you. Stilly's mobile detailing. Old school P&S question. Wondering,

two coats of legend? Is it unnecessary? Are there any benefits to doing that?

Or simply stick to one coat, then defender an hour later? I'm gonna go with one coat and defender.

Yeah. That would be my move. Yeah. Yeah. Can you feel the same? Is there any benefit to doing

two coats of legend? Really? I mean, legend is so dense. Yeah. So it's, it's a medium coating.

I mean, so is this because you still have legend left, Andy? Or is it, are you talking

about stout? I mean, because if you have legend left, then yeah, I mean, really, I mean, legend

and stout, one coat, that's, that's pretty much what I need to do. Anything more than that's pretty

unnecessary. But yeah, I think he said old school. So yeah, that would be a bottle of legend

probably had left. Next up here. I get it. Insomniac detail. I've never heard a reason,

a season referred to as a, as whole milk. Well, it was the first time for everything. Yeah.

Yeah. He was weirded out by the shoulder season thing. That's real. You can look it up.

Whole milk though, that reference was all mine, but I've never heard somebody refer to

as a shoulder season. Why never? Okay. You don't read enough, clearly. What's that supposed to mean,

Dane? I read plenty. You read enough stories, articles, anything like that. You're bound to

come across somebody referring to spring or fall as a shoulder season. It's just a thing.

It doesn't happen. Then again, maybe I'm just too into architecture and that kind of

funky stuff. I read it in the same circles that people would reference shoulder seasons.

Oh, no, book talk is something else entirely. Careful. Alex Dewar says,

you don't like pumpkin spice. You like cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and sugar. I said what I said.

So he's making a statement. He's saying that people who say they like pumpkin spice

don't actually like pumpkin spice. Probably. What they like is that list he just gave.

Yeah, I don't really like pumpkin that much, but I do like fall just in general. I think it's fun.

Okay. I like the basicness of fall. I think it's just a good time. I like the crispness

and the air, but you still have some of the warmth, but it gets cool at night.

What I don't like during the summer is when it stays 100 degrees out

after the sun has been down for like two hours and you're still just feeling that

asphalt radiating that heat. No thanks, man. Agreed. I was done sweating when the sun

went down. Shrek Blue Turbo says, Stoner's Terminator spray and rinse only didn't help old

tar on the car for eight months from the dealership. Should I use an ital to wipe the panel?

Yeah. Yep. So like for like Terminator, you can grab like a rip and rag or something like

ital. You're gonna kind of throw away or whatever. Spray some on that, make sure you have gloves

on and then try to remove the tar that way. That's usually what we'll do. I don't really

do the spray on rinse off with Terminator. I just agitate as needed. Works pretty good.

Okay. Carson, this one's for you. Okay. So Detail Grind podcast saying Carson, my boy.

I love those guys. Shout out to them. All right. Just wanted to make sure you heard that nice

and clear. You're welcome to go back to spraying now. Thank you. All right. Then I got David

Boyce here with a Dane Fisher and Anthony Hennan. I don't believe, I don't recall those

nuptials happening. I don't think that's a thing. So yeah, I might want to check your sources on that.

Aaron Bauer. Unfortunately, I could see Book Talk doing something like that.

Can we give up to Levi for his next business venture? Yes. Actually, let's talk about that.

Levi's announced that he is now the North American, I think director technically is the title there,

for Liquid Freakin' Elements. Congratulations to the one and only Levi Gates, the master of shine.

A friend for life. I talk to him every week, but I've actually talked to him this week,

so I need to call him. But no, we're super, super, super proud of Levi. We think that's

gonna be awesome. Excited for Liquid Elements as well. I think they're gonna do big things.

And so, Levi Gates and Brian at the helm, or at the helm, I should say at the helm,

they had the helm in the realm of Liquid Elements. We love both of those guys so much,

man. I mean, Brian Guy, we've had such fun memories and trips with Brian. He's the best.

You can't not like a guy who literally makes his own hats.

I know. Brian's awesome, dude. He's just such a genuine guy. And so,

Brian and Levi together, there's definitely gonna be some magic happening, 100%.

Next up. All right. Next up, we got Stili.

Says, put my order in early on Tuesday, tracking notice arrive,

this saying that it will be here on Saturday. Wow, this morning, I think,

is what he's trying to say. Stoked on a fairly timely delivery, T.R.C. Crew. Thank you. Awesome.

You got it, man. Then we got Chill Guy Chief. What's he saying?

Hello from Harrisburg, PA. I like your name guy. All right. Then we got Megan here saying,

please bring P&S Dave back soon. I want to hear about the backpacking trip.

Well, Megan, the next time we've got to hold Dave, I'm sure he'd be happy to stop by.

It's a little hike up here, but given enough time, I'm sure he could backpack his way right to

our front door. Dan, I think you missed opportunity for the Chill Guy. I comment to say I'm something

of a Chill Guy myself. That's a double reference, right? That's a few levels,

as Will and Defone, Spider-Man, and the Chill Guy meme all rolled into one.

Chill Guy myself. Carson, why are you shaking your head over there?

No. Is that meme reference dead?

Correct. Carson at this point is like half our age, so we are ancient beings.

Carson, are you half our age?

Yeah, I know.

Trying to answer that?

No.

Could I be your father?

I mean, yeah, probably.

No, he knew.

That would lead to some weird questions. Anyway, moving along, we've got AT4 here.

I have to cut out early today.

My kid hit a deer and told him this car this morning near Wilbur. Oh, no.

Taking him to the dealership. He's fine, but the car is cooked. Have a great show, folks.

I'm so sorry, yo, Tango. That is not cool.

Dang, I'm, hey, we're just glad he's okay, man. That's all that matters.

Yeah, and I'm so glad that you did say he's okay, because that's all that matters.

That's the important bit.

Insurance can handle, you know, the car, but people a little harder to replace.

Yep. Yep.

Good that he's okay.

Get him into another safe car. Maybe something cool, but also safe, right?

Yep.

But deer are unrelentless, right? They don't care what they hit.

They sure don't.

Next up.

And they love to jump scare.

All right.

Megan saying, hope your son is okay.

Oh, yep, follow it up. Same idea.

And then Mr. Betonator.

Long story short, workplace polished concrete next to our parking lot.

Oh, no.

And I'm dealing with embedded concrete dust on top of my car.

Best way to remove it.

Have you washed it first?

Have you tried to wash it?

If you've washed it and it's still on there, I would try to do a mild clay

and see if that can just get it off.

If the car is like coated or has protection on it.

Sometimes that dust will come off.

Just know it's just, gosh, man, concrete sucks.

Because I mean, if I already even say like, yeah, some diluted muricate muricic acid,

you could use that.

I mean, you don't want to, you don't want to ask and wash your whole car.

You don't need to.

Like that's kind of a pain.

I would say try to wash de-con clay.

See where you're at.

There's a good chance that you probably would have to polish your vehicle out

after claying it.

If the embedded concrete dust is there and adds a ton of friction during the removal.

So just be aware of that.

That's a pretty good, pretty good chance.

But who knows?

You may be able to take a good enough clay lube or like a good foam.

Take an ultra clay scrubber and ultra clay towel.

I'm just simply glad over the top.

And it might be able to really remove a lot of that without a ton of pressure.

And that would be the most ideal thing.

So we'll see.

But yeah, dang dude, that sucks.

They're actually cutting our concrete over here.

Oh, there's dust in here then too.

There's so much dust in the air.

Thankfully, it's just everything's really dry.

But they have been cutting concrete in this whole entire parking lot over here.

You don't want that in your lungs, do you?

My, these guys do not care.

Yeah, those guys, yeah, not in your lungs.

These guys, no ear protection, no rust.

We walked out there.

No respirator there.

They're raw dog and concrete cutting.

That was crazy.

And I'm like, man, what are they doing?

We can hear it very vividly in the office.

You can only imagine what it's like being the boss.

Operator.

We walked out there and this guy does not have any hearing protection on at all.

Just no respirator.

What are the odds that his hearing is completely gone already?

And so at this point, he just doesn't care.

I don't know.

But regardless, we're like, we're seeing all the rocks,

flapping the air as he's cutting us.

It's not good.

I don't know.

But those are the kind of guys we run over.

Hey man, do you want to wear a mask?

Or do you want some headphones?

They're going to either laugh at you and tell you to man up

or they may not know what's going on.

Could be any one of those.

All right, next up.

Oh, stilly with a question slash comment that directly references

something we were actually talking about right before the show started.

He says, by the way, no more pearl puck applicators.

I love those, man.

They're coming.

Stay tuned.

Work in progress, my friend.

Stay tuned, my friend.

Little patience goes a long way.

In the back here, you can actually see Gabriel Garcia.

I'm not really sure what he's doing

or what he's working on, Gabe.

Let's just say I am about to have a blast.

What is wrong with you?

I missed the person that was five seconds ago.

Weird, you freak.

Get out of here.

We know we're not going to boo him, but we will call him a freak.

Oh, wow, because that's better.

He's our freak.

DIY with Kane says, any exciting built hammer update?

Seems like this is never going to happen

with Tier C or anyone else.

Just Matt's Core, three or four products.

So, oh, man.

The best way to describe this is that this is,

it is a work in progress, right?

They're still moving forward.

How do I say this?

It's not us.

It's not necessarily even Matt, necessarily.

There is a lot of things that have to be in place

for this to be done properly, right?

I think there's a difference between,

there's a difference between a brand.

Okay, now I got to see this in a really diplomatic way.

Diplomatic way.

I don't want to upset anybody.

I feel like anybody watching now can pretty much read

between the lines of whatever you're about to say now.

I know, but I'm just trying to do this the right way.

There is, anybody can grab a foreign brand,

bring over a few SKUs and say,

we've brought the brand to the USA, right?

And they will try to get all the praise that they can

that they have done this, right?

It only takes one bottle to take a picture.

There's so many other moving parts with properly,

and I say properly, releasing and bringing a brand

into North America for longevity.

Like actual real volume.

And note there, longevity, right?

Foreign brands can come and go into the US.

They have come and gone in the US, right?

And the toughest part is that people say,

we want this brand, bring it over.

And then they do, but they're brought on improperly.

They're brought on without thought of longevity

with margin, with packaging, with SDS sheets,

with so many different moving pieces

that what happens is a ball gets dropped somewhere, right?

Frustrations happen.

Frustrations between the brands happen.

And then before you know it, somebody calls it off

and they say this isn't going to work out.

Do you know why we know this?

Because we've learned the hard way.

We've done this.

Remember that time we brought a brand

that was actually really solid over.

And we tried to tell everybody about it.

Why do I say this with authority?

Because I know, because I know how this works.

We tried to get people to listen and they're like,

I'm tired of all the hype and all this stuff.

We're like, but it's actually good.

And then when we finally just said, you know what,

it's been like a year and a half, two years of this.

And it's just not happening.

And we just like, OK, had to wrap COVID

and everything affected that too.

But then it just all kind of slowed down.

And suddenly people started asking, hey,

what happened to this brand?

Just out of the blue.

And then it turned into literal years of us

having to answer that question.

Yeah.

So what there has to be is there has to be,

there has to be, there's a game plan that has to happen

when bringing on a brand from overseas.

And it's just such a, it's a much bigger game

than a 20 foot container.

It's like, that's like, that's like barely scraping

the surface, right?

It's like laughable, right?

If that's the overall game plan, you have.

When you're doing 20 of those.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.

Yeah, when you're doing 20 of those.

Yeah.

But it's, you have to really lay out the foundation

of what this brand is going to be

and what the purpose of this brand is going to be

within the US, within North America,

and within essentially a foreign country to that brand, right?

What is the purpose?

Why does it exist?

Why does it need to exist?

Who is it going to serve, right?

And how do you make it successful in the long run?

And we have a few brand partners that are from overseas

that have really created prime examples

of being able to get longevity out of this plan, right?

And to provide jobs within the US for this brand.

That is not even from here.

That's how to do it.

And it takes a while for this ton of stuff to happen.

It can't happen overnight.

And if it is happening overnight,

then you should really question

how long that's going to be around for,

is what I'm trying to say.

So, basic.

We take longer to do things

because we actually take our time to think it out

in the long term.

And again, it's just, it's what's being promised

and what's being delivered, right?

Because what happens is the people.

I've seen it.

The people that are getting promised these things, right?

Guys, we brought this brand to the US

and then you see it and it's like,

okay, but one guy had it shipped to his house.

It's these people being promised the world

that, hey, you've made it to America, right?

You've done it, right?

Eventually, frustrations will build

with these brands from overseas of,

hey, when is our promise getting delivered upon, right?

A valid, fair question.

When is everything that you promised,

all the guts, all the glory?

When are we going to get that?

And when those things aren't,

people aren't held accountable,

frustrations will happen, people will separate things,

the deals get cut off, right?

And then, you know what?

Somebody else down the road has to pick up

where somebody else left off.

And it sucks because then you have,

you have two people that are hurt by a situation

and nobody's happy and it makes you not want to try again.

And in the case of built hamper, right?

I would much rather, and Matt, for what it's worth,

has done everything that he can properly.

And I 100% credit goes to Matt

because he's done things the best he possibly could

with this particular scenario.

In order for us to get hands on with this,

or more hands on than we currently are

with making this happen,

there has to be this foundation

that is properly laid out

where everybody is happy about the plan for a brand.

And once you do that,

then there's no cracks in the foundation.

There's nothing to go wrong.

It should be smooth sailing from there.

But I will say, I can think of a lot of examples out there

right now where there is so many bad foundations

that things will fail or people will be unhappy

and things will fall apart, right?

And people may not care that that happens.

People, some people might.

But it just, as the consumer,

as the people who are buying the products,

ultimately it fails them and it sucks for them

because they find something they like,

it no longer becomes available.

If it is available, now they have to pay triple

to get something that they once bought

for a third of that price.

And now they're upset, right?

Rightfully so.

Bad name in the detail industry's mouth, you know?

Absolutely it does.

Does what I'm saying, does that make sense?

We're trying to be really diplomatic.

Am I on a massive soap box right now?

No, you're on a soap box, but it's a good one.

And I feel bad because people who are just out there

and they want to try these products and stuff,

I understand asking the question and wanting to do that.

And the frustration that comes with

when you don't know what's going on

and you're waiting, come on, something's got to happen.

And just like what he said, I mean, it's a work in progress

but sometimes it's just, it's clunky, it's not fun.

But know that we are trying.

If, yeah, trust me when I say that this particular project

that you're bringing up right now, we're working towards it

and we're working towards making it a full proof foundation

in which this can happen.

Yeah.

And if it can't, then we'll be honest

and we'll tell you it can't.

And then we'll say, hey, this can't work this way,

unfortunately, but we wish them the best of luck.

And then that's that.

And then the only two cents I'll add to that

is the part that you kind of addressed earlier on,

which is when you see other places being like,

we brought this brand here

and it's just like a handful of bottles

and it's one person showing it,

kind of thing, it's like that person ordered that

and they had it to show.

That's not the same as receiving container loads

of product to actually serve the customers

and actually provide a renewable, sustainable well

of product to pull from.

It's different because we want people to come back.

We don't just want to be like,

hey, we got the name in there.

We got the SEO.

We got everything going for us

and then not be able to follow up

after you make your first order.

That's not cool.

I don't think that's cool.

Well, what's going to happen, too,

is you order 120-foot container, whatever it is,

and then you, as a company,

you order a 20-foot container

and you promote a product.

You build a scene amount of hype.

You get people excited about it

and then you don't forecast properly

or maybe you do.

Which is hard.

I mean, it's a lot of work.

And then let you see that product sells out, right?

Well, then it sold out for how long?

A month?

Two months?

Three months?

Right?

Who knows?

With all the other changes in the world

happening with shipping logistics, all that.

You get frustration on both ends.

And again, that's also a start

of a crack in the foundation as well,

is there's got to be a proper game plan for releases

and we would want to do it right.

So moving on to the next comment here.

I love a good soapbox.

Matt Berkson says,

my wallet is begging for no more brand weeks.

Well, I have some unfortunate news.

Matt, there might be one left in the tank.

Yeah, we're not quite done yet.

What's one more, right?

We're going to have fun.

It'll be good time.

But next week will be really far.

Yeah.

Chill guy.

Dane, something of a chill guy himself says,

I have a truck and a Tesla.

I love them both.

That's all right, man.

Do your thing.

Nothing wrong with having a little of each.

Took advantage of the sale and got a good deal

on another bottle of Phobic.

Sweet.

Love that.

You know, when you're the home of a product

like that.

Yeah.

Actually, that's what I'm using today.

I do want to share a little tip here.

Oh, please.

Tips to Carson.

Let's go over here.

Carson's tip of the day.

My friend Ryan from Fine Detailing showed me this.

So this is actually a dropper from an ADS coating

and put into the new Phobic bottles.

I believe they're shipping with these too.

But you just take your cap,

put it on here and then you can actually apply it to an applicator

and get a little bit longer protection

rather than just spraying it on and buffing it off.

So that's what I'm going to be doing today.

So stay tuned for that.

Nice.

Thank you for the update.

Then I've got Dan Pfeiffer saying,

I use full punctuation in all of my texts

always with a period at the end.

You know, in a comment, I don't mind it.

In written word and like articles,

obviously punctuation is important.

But in the informal way of speaking,

that is text messaging.

A period at the end of a sentence

just feels a little too stern to me.

It just sounds curt.

But maybe that's just me.

Maybe I'm just neurotic and read way too far into it.

Do you feel like that when somebody sends you a message

with a period at the end?

Does it feel like somebody using your full,

like legal, your government name at you,

like your mother saying, you know,

Anthony middle name Fisher,

since I don't want to out your middle name

if you don't want to.

It's fine, Dane.

But no, I think that you are very conscientious of that.

And if I were to text Dane something

with a period at the end,

he would think that he has done something horribly wrong.

And I would do it out of humor.

And, you know, but that's just Dane as a person.

So yeah, don't give Dane a hard time.

Aaron Bauer says, every should end their sentence.

I think he says everyone.

No, this is tough.

You guys, come on.

Let's just take the time.

I'm telling you right now, Aaron,

check our sentences.

This is chat.

I'm allowing punctuation here.

It's only when somebody sends me actual text messages

or like messenger messages,

that's when I kind of go,

somebody says with a period at the end.

It doesn't bother me here.

Here, I expect it.

I don't know why.

I just do.

I don't know why that matters,

but it does in my quirky brain.

84 says, Dane, okay.

Thank goodness he's okay.

Agreed.

I just saw comments ahead

and they're all freaking out,

wanting to know your middle name.

I hadn't realized.

We've mentioned it before,

but it's kind of like slept under the radar there.

I almost missed the podcast.

Hello, everyone.

And then Dan Piper simply going,

Dane with a period at the end.

Steve the Fomer, what's Steve saying?

Because of this channel and others,

I have learned enough to take my hobby

to a side hustle.

Angry monkey detailing.

Thank you.

I think that's fun, Steve the Fomer.

Who wouldn't want to hire angry monkey detailing?

I mean, that just sounds like a gamble

I'd be willing to take.

It does.

I like that.

Sounds like they're going to take good care of my car.

Yeah.

Jennifer Lemus, it says, what do you guys,

who do you guys, who do you guys would wreck?

What do you guys?

Oh, God.

What would you guys recommend

for piano interior polish?

Thanks.

Sorry, Jennifer, your words just got a little,

I think auto complete just kind of through some extra words

in there.

Don't have a stroke trying to read it.

It's just added some words.

I think I'm going crazy sometimes.

For those at home listening on the podcast,

I will read it verbatim and you'll see what I mean.

What do you guys would recommend for piano

interior polish?

Question mark.

Thanks.

So, but like I feel, Dane, do you not feel like

sometimes you read something?

I go, I don't know.

For a second, I'm like, wait, is my brain doing this?

Or is it actually there on the screen?

But do you know how when you guys,

have you guys ever seen those Facebook posts?

I'm sorry, Jennifer.

This isn't meant to make you feel bad or anything.

You can totally just ask a question.

Do you guys ever see those Facebook posts

where something is written incorrectly

and it says like, if you read this, you can, you, you, you.

There's a classic internet thing

that like makes you feel like you're having a stroke

as you read it.

Anyway, let's not get too.

Jennifer, sorry.

What do you guys recommend for piano

black interior polish?

Personally, what I like to use is optimum hyper polish.

And the reason for that is optimum hyper polish

is non-trim staining.

And so if I do happen to brush up against

a piece of plastic that's textured or whatever it is,

I know that I'm not going to be left with some type of compound

or polish residual solvent or abrasives left over

that could dry and turn unsightly.

Hyper polish is really easy to use.

And yeah, I mean like piano black,

it's like perfect for that.

So, and it's really like minimal.

It's, it, it's not going to cut a whole lot, right?

So just that would usually with like yellow foam pad

is perfect.

Oh, right.

No, and that stuff does scratch so easily.

It does.

It's so frustrating having had several cars with that.

It's hard to avoid.

Joey Balinsky saying,

hey guys, looking snazzy, Dane,

must have had a job interview lined up at lunchtime.

You know, it's funny.

You caught me red-handed.

I figured, well, if it doesn't go well for me here,

I don't think anybody's going to have a good time.

But if I'm out looking at job interviews,

y'all should be concerned.

Yeah, it's true.

All right.

Next up here, I've got...

That means we're losing the shop,

if anybody's misunderstood that correctly.

Aw, Tamara being sweet.

Tamara says, I miss you, Dane.

Thank you, Tamara.

I appreciate you.

I think that Lucas might be her favorite.

You might be her second.

I will take it.

I'm hoping for like a third or fourth, right?

If Gabe comes before me, so help me.

Well, you know,

Lucas and I don't appear in the main channel videos

quite so often.

You're in a lot of those.

So people just like you in general, generally speaking.

I don't know about that.

You're one of my best friends.

Yeah, you have to say that

because you're stuck with me maybe for a lifetime.

So, Megan says,

traveling in Europe is more affordable

in the shoulder seasons.

I can't...

She's using the shoulder seasons.

Okay.

That's the only context in which I've overheard that phrase used.

But most importantly, Megan,

yeah, have heard it, haven't you?

Yes.

All right.

Moving along.

Hey, Carson.

Little C black.

What are we foaming today?

What are we using?

Today, we're using,

because it was in the thumbnail,

we're using Optimum Touchless.

Let's put on a good show.

Sure is.

I would have a little overkill

because I forgot about that.

It's looking good.

You painted that car white.

No, it was about a 10 to 1,

but I layered it a few times.

Can we get that front angle there?

I love the way that grill is looking

with the foam over on the top of that.

The texture looks cool.

It does.

So we actually, we had some questions.

Some questions I saw earlier

where people are wondering,

you know, like what's the point

of Optimum Touchless wash, right?

Oh, yeah, I did see that.

People want to know,

how is it relatively pH balanced

and how does it actually clean?

Does it actually clean?

And then why would it be unsafe

for a wax and or sealant?

What's it's agitated?

So I don't know from a chemistry standpoint

all of the answers,

but according to Dr. G,

and according to Jason from Optimum Polymer Technologies,

we love Jason, by the way.

If you're Jason, you're watching this,

we love you and you're one of our favorites.

He's very wonderful.

Basically, Optimum Touchless Wash,

something in the chemistry,

and I don't know if it's a sugar additive

that's in this particular one.

I'm not, don't hold me to this,

but there is something in here where

it will remove a portion of contamination

on its own through foaming and then rinsing, right?

If the process is that you foam it on,

let it penetrate the dirt and then rinse it, right?

If you rinse, foam rinse,

I don't think you're going to see a big difference.

I think if you foam this on dry,

rinse it off immediately,

allow this foam to actually penetrate the dirt.

I think that there's a good chance

you may see a better,

a better reaction.

Now, physically agitating this soap,

they say that's really going to be your decon, right?

So, agitate this soap

and it could potentially remove a wax,

like a pretty basic wax.

Sure.

And I think that has to be something

in the soap itself.

I don't think it's an abrasive,

but I don't know what it is

that is able to do that,

but it won't scratch,

it's not going to mar,

it's not going to damage anything,

but I do think that physically agitating it

makes a difference.

So, maybe Dr. G,

next time we have him or Jason here,

we can go into more depth on that,

but I have seen some people

ask questions about it,

but overall,

I think it's a really affordable product

for what you get out of this.

It smells good,

works great in a foam cannon.

I love the way it smells.

And like, I rinsed it before,

I'm foaming it,

then I'm going to rinse it again,

then I'm going to foam it

with pH neutral soap

and then I'm going to contact wash.

You're doing the full meal deal, right?

Well, the part where as Mike wasn't turned on

just yet is when he said,

Anthony, you taught me like a psycho.

Well, this particular thing,

I mean, you rinsed it first,

which is fine,

but I suppose if you really wanted

to get the most out of this

touchless wash,

you would have dry foamed it, right?

Yeah.

I just, man, I don't know,

I've had some weird experiences

dry foaming things before,

not anything recent,

but just in the past,

and I'm just like,

I kind of made me weird

about dry foaming stuff.

I don't, I don't know.

I'm just weird about it.

I'm assuming you're still talking about detail.

Yeah.

Yeah, we are.

Could not be.

Moving on.

All right, moving along.

Stilly says-

Oh, shoot.

Sorry, Stilly.

I'll bring it back.

Although I think I missed this

Jimbo one and he came

before Stilly,

so go ahead and-

What would you recommend

to protect newer black trim

that doesn't need restoration

over the top

from Solution Finish is awesome.

You can still use something

like a trim,

ceramic coating,

if you want to.

Trim Plus can still be applied.

I think the idea is

Trim Plus is a good

happy medium.

C4 from GTecnit can be used,

but if it doesn't need restoration

and you're looking for something

that can be applied

every, you know,

few months,

six months

over the top

from Solution Finish.

Smells amazing too,

by the way.

Would you

maybe adventure

into like Coach PSS

or anything like that?

Or-

That's a,

it would,

PSS would darken-

Yeah,

that's what I'm kind of getting at.

It would also add some

UV protection as well.

It's an option.

So,

you got options Jimbo,

but pick the one

that sounds the most appealing to you.

Then we go back to Stilly here.

Due to lightning strikes

setting my whole hood

on fire Tuesday,

so you know Andy's

from Modesto, California,

when he describes

something where he's located

is his whole hood.

That's how it is there.

Holy crap though,

that's, that's insane.

On fire on Tuesday,

detailing slid up a bit around here.

Cal Fire aircraft

had the sky setting a war zone.

Wish I could send pics of the madness.

Holy crap dude,

we hope you stay safe.

And um,

it hopefully your house

and everything like that

isn't affected by that.

Yeah.

California doesn't really need

more fires this year.

GM Car Care.

Every detailer needs

armored detail supply

in his arsenal.

His or her.

GM Car Care.

There are hers here as well.

His or her.

Anybody could use it in their arsenal,

but the point remains,

I agree.

David Boyce,

nerd alert.

Never hear of shoulder season.

And then again,

I don't read Agatha Christie novels.

Neither do I,

and yet I still knew

what a shoulder season was.

You do.

Yeah, no.

And apparently I am,

with General Grievous.

I read General Grievous novels

because I have multiple arms.

You're just sitting there

reading the Star Wars extended universe.

I get it.

I see how it is.

Speaking of which,

I, speaking of Star Wars,

I got my daughter.

Oh, yeah.

I got my daughter some light sabers,

right?

So she's having fun.

Well, so I've been playing

a video games called Star Wars Jedi Survivor,

right?

I've been playing that on my PlayStation.

I won a little gnarly for little kids.

Well, so I've been playing it.

I've beaten it pretty.

I actually just recently beat it.

Good game by the way.

But my daughter would walk in

and she would see me playing it.

And she goes, ooh.

And she like climbed up my lap

and she wants to watch me

fight monsters and stuff.

But she kept calling it

the game with the glow sticks.

Glow stick game.

Glow sticks and the robot

on the shoulder, right?

It was like the BD1.

It's like a little,

it's a little, you know, robot.

And she calls it the game

with the glow sticks and the robot.

So daddy, can I watch you

play the game with the glow sticks?

And I go, yeah, let's turn it on.

So I fight monsters.

She loves watching it.

She gets really into it.

So I'm like, you know what?

I'm going to buy her like some like

lightsabers on Amazon.

I wish what's available now

on Amazon was available

when I was a kid, dude.

Oh, if we had half the stuff they have now.

So you can buy like anodized aluminum handle

LED lightsabers, right?

With the impact rated like, you know, sticks.

They honestly look way cooler

than the ones we had as kids.

Like we had the collapsible wrap.

We had the collapsible plastic one

where you'd have to like swing it

hard enough that it all like unfolded.

Which, hey, that was fun as a kid.

Just doing this.

I know.

But it was like a collapsible camping cup.

They were crap, Dane.

They sucked.

And so now you can get like the real looking deal, right?

I got a two pack on Amazon for 40 bucks.

You get two of them and you can screw them together

to create a staff.

You can make a Darth Maul style saber.

For 40 bucks for a loon.

Are the color change, or are they one solid color?

Like 20 colors.

So it's just the RGB like spectrum.

RGB, but you can get like 20 colors.

They all look cool.

They make sounds.

Well, I noticed she chose purple.

So I was like, all right.

Amazing.

And she lost it when I showed it to her

for the first time.

And I'm like, I lit it up and it lights up.

Her, dude, her mouth drops.

Her eyes got like super wide and she goes,

what the?

I'm like, I got this for you.

And it feels great because you know,

I'm not like, hey, here's a $200 toy.

I'm like, here's a $20 toy.

Break it.

You can.

It probably would have been a $200 toy

if we tried to get it back in the day.

Back in the day when we were kids.

But so anyways, but I got these four

and she absolutely loves it.

And so we've been having like saber battles

every night, right?

And she's like really getting into it.

And she's like going for legs.

And oh, so she's already taking cheap shots.

So then she's taken my legs out.

And then once I'm already like on my knees,

and then she's going for like, you know,

the chest, you know, the head, you know,

and I'm like, she's vicious.

She's just Anakin.

Yeah. She's almost, she's almost four now.

So she's got some good strength, right?

And I just want her to get to the point

where if Anakin did try, she would at least stand a chance.

At what point are you going to show her the movies?

Yeah.

I feel like she's already on her way.

Episode, episode three, that's going to be

a pretty tough watch someday.

Yeah. Yeah.

Keep in mind, keep in mind if you guys haven't

go to the Rag Company Europe's page,

they did make a parody of that scene for May 4th.

And it's so funny, dude.

So funny.

Yeah, they did a good job.

All right. Moving along here.

Thank you, David, for that little segue.

Joey, so happy for our friend Levi.

It's always nice to gain more friends than point discounts.

I see how it works, Joey.

Oh, Joey.

He says that he's like at the company,

everybody wants to get discounts from.

He actually, it really is actually.

Chill guys just laughing.

He's just laughing because he's a chill guy like that.

Dane.

Alex Dewar saying, just want to give a plug

to the TRC shipping department.

I know they're working their butts off.

They are.

Thank you. That is true.

Those guys work exceptionally hard.

They do a wonderful job.

And they've got a great system going now.

So they're able to manage things, you know, better than ever.

Then we got Gurio style here.

You've been a new viewer here for a little while.

Love seeing you in here.

And yeah, a fan from Japan.

I love how he introduces himself that way each time.

I appreciate that.

Yes.

As I pretty much love everything Japan.

The cars, the food, the people, the cars.

Definitely the cars, the forests, the architecture.

I really want to go to Japan.

And Dane wants to go to Japan too.

Okay.

Well, I really do.

Yeah, I know.

Anyways, okay, let's get to the actual comment here.

Gurio style says, hello, I'm a TRC fan from Japan.

I use the USS for rental car washes.

But if I use a microfiber mitt,

is the cyclone mitt better or is the chenille wash mitt better?

So I would prefer the chenille mitt over the cyclone.

And the reason for that is just the amount of liquid being held.

So the cyclone will generally hold on to a little bit more liquid.

I don't think it's a huge deal with rinseless washing.

It just means that there's going to be less in your bucket

the more often you dunk.

I think the chenille is a better rinseless wash media in general

because I think the knobs are able to rinse out cleaner.

I think that the contours of the knobs

are able to get into certain areas better.

And yeah, I've used the chenille for years and years

with rinseless.

I've never once had an issue with scratching, marring, ever.

I mean, it's great.

You could use a cyclone.

It's just going to be a heavier media to use.

If I were to use a cyclone, I'd use one that Carson's using,

which is the 6x8 right there.

Yeah, take a good look at that guy.

That's a good one.

Cool. Next up.

Boom. Hydra detailing.

What's he saying?

Greetings from a Belgium guy currently in Italy on vacation.

But still here for the TRC Live period of occasion.

So you know, I feel kind of bad.

So our friend from Japan,

I talked about how much I love Japan.

And I said a lot of nice things about Japan.

We have a lot of people from other countries, right?

Do I need to do that for every country?

I mean, if they announce it, have you been to Belgium?

I have been around Europe.

I've not been to Belgium.

I've not been to Belgium either.

I would like to go eventually as well.

I feel like if I ever end up in Belgium,

it'll probably be because we're both there for some reason.

Hydra, where are you in Italy for vacation?

Chocolate.

Where are you currently enjoying Italy?

Yeah, I want to hear about that.

Okay.

I appreciate the dedication, though, Hydra, for real.

Chill guide chief saying,

I work at a concrete lab,

and we use distilled white vinegar to eat away the cement paste.

Interesting.

I wasn't aware there were concrete labs,

but now that I know that, that's cool.

Are you chill guy?

Are you going diluted distilled white vinegar?

Because if so, you could use vinegar on your car 100%.

There's nothing wrong with that.

People do that as like a homemade water spot remover sometimes.

It's okay.

It's not the best if you do it, but it's okay.

But if there's a cement dust,

if that's effective against cement,

I've never tried vinegar personally on.

I mean, I know that if you Google how to remove cement from a car,

it'll say try vinegar, right?

But I've never done it myself on a dust.

So I wonder if that works well.

Next up.

I suspect you've got a good point there.

You know what?

Say, TRC crew, I hope you all had a great labor day.

I agree with Anthony on weather temps,

ready for cooler weather.

Yep.

Then we've got Hydra again.

Dean, go for it.

I have an EV and I know,

but the most common question I get

is can you pressure wash an EV engine bay?

It's not really an engine bay at that point.

But anyway, can you use the same alkaline engine cleaning products?

Nice to know your insight for the people.

So when you're working in say like this car,

which from the ground up was designed to be an EV,

however, GM did use some of their other small car architecture

that had ICE, you know, internal combustion engine cars

involved in the process,

like there are other platforms that shares.

They had engine bay.

So what they did with this was it has

what appears to be an engine bay up front.

But when you open it up,

as you saw earlier in the episode today,

it's just a bunch of wires and like battery terminal

looking things and you got different, you know,

fuse boxes, et cetera.

They're meant to be accessible

so that you can handle it if you have to.

And I believe much like, you know, with EVs,

you still have like a 12 volt battery in there as well

to handle some accessories separate from the big battery

that everybody thinks of with an EV.

So there's different levels to this stuff.

But with this particular car, I would say,

even though it's a full EV,

it does share some similarities with like hybrid vehicles

where it has a regular hood you can pop.

You can look at where an engine would be.

And as far as alkaline products going down there,

I don't see an issue with that.

I just think you need to be very careful

about applying high pressure, you know,

water to spaces where you could potentially

pull off like a weather sealed door.

You want to make sure the seals

on all of those little hatches and clasps and things

are in fact locked down.

They're tight. They're good and sealed

because if water gets where it's not supposed

to be in something electrical,

well, nobody here is trying to take a toaster bath,

you know?

Degreed.

Next up, moving along.

Sorry, I could go way down that.

But I do think you're okay

if you're particular spraying in localized areas.

In response, yes, our local PNS distributor

has tons of legend still in stock.

Honestly, being mobile, I prefer legend over stout

due to it being more hot, clear, climate friendly.

Okay, good to know.

Yeah.

And then we've got Hydra here.

Fun fact, anti-static spray on paint,

i.e. paint gloss, PNS product,

doesn't destroy your battery.

Good. That's good.

Good to know.

Gabe, bring into dad jokes, respect.

Yeah, Megan, sending love to Gabe.

I'll make sure he hears that

because that's all he has, our dad jokes.

He had it before he was a father.

We try not to engage with those jokes with him, you know?

We don't...

Well...

We want it to end eventually.

I think he might appreciate knowing somebody enjoyed it.

Yeah, yeah.

We're all a little tired of it here,

but, you know,

Megan, it's been years.

It's fresh and exciting elsewhere.

It's been years.

It's just like rocking your chair.

We've heard these for years.

We're starting to lose it.

Oh, man.

Alex says,

construction concrete guys are a different breed.

Turn down a mask while stone cold Steve

Austin-ing two white monsters.

Dude, that, yeah.

And that in a can of...

Yeah, what do we frame that?

That in a can of zins, right?

I mean, that's all they need,

and they'll survive the apocalypse.

Moving on.

That's your average construction vehicle right there.

And then we've got Stealth GR4.

Just got a shipment of Mesto eFoamer F2s

at my shop here in Detroit.

I've never heard of these.

So my question is,

how do I, how do these compare to the IK stuff?

The Mesto is good for PH-47.

I have no idea.

Never used a Mesto.

I feel like I've heard that name,

but I am not personally familiar.

Have not used them, could not say.

Yep.

I've never tried them,

but they sound interesting.

Stealth, why don't you get some time,

seat time in with them,

use them and report back.

Yeah.

Hi, Jeff.

General car talk question,

what is your opinion about the new EV tires

to generate more energy

and braking for battery life,

minimal, but has quite a negative grip

on dry slash wet and aqua planting?

Yeah.

I mean, tire technology nowadays

is so crazy advanced to where we were,

even just back in the early 2000s and the 90s.

I mean, you're getting tires

that are capable of doing more and more,

like in the past they used to be,

you had to have a winter tire

and you had to have a summer tire,

if you wanted to get the most out of,

you know, performance wise,

out of those respective, you know, conditions.

But now they make four seasons that kick the butt

of either of those old winter or summer tires in all season.

It is impressive, really,

like the PS4S stuff like that.

But as far as these new EV tires go,

I know when it comes to like

low rolling resistance tires,

that kind of stuff,

they generally road kind of cruddy.

You had a lot of bumps,

it transmits a lot through

because it's a denser compound,

all that stuff.

But these newer ones,

you're saying help with like

regen braking and stuff.

I'm actually not familiar with that advancement,

so I don't know what they change.

But I'm not surprised to hear,

based on what you're saying,

if it does affect like the,

you know, aqua planting problems,

stuff like that.

So if you could tell me a little bit more about it,

I'd be curious to hear more.

Details official.

Is someone not bringing in foreign brands properly?

Oh, that was a prior conversation.

No, that'll get you.

But I mean, you can weigh it on that.

I don't think it's like not properly,

it's just, it's not,

it's not a good way to build a sustainable business.

It's mostly like just capturing the attention,

get it while it's hot kind of thing.

I don't think it just depends.

Do you want a foreign brand to have

a long lifetime here,

basically living in the space of North America?

Or do you want it to be a cash grab

for a short period of time?

A flash in the pan.

I mean, that's, that's,

I think that's what I'm trying to say is that

there's a lot of different ways to do this.

But if you want to do it for longevity,

which is how what we, we aim for,

it does take a lot longer.

There's a lot more pieces of the puzzle that go into it.

But yeah, I mean,

technically, if the SDS sheets are correct,

the labels are like compliant.

Here for U.S. sales,

the chemical itself are compliant for U.S. sales.

And distribution-wise, there's no issues.

The technique, I mean, that would be a proper way

to bring it over.

Yeah.

The surprise, it's properly, it can exist here.

Yeah.

If you mean properly in a legal sense,

no, you're fine if you've done your legwork

on all those fronts,

and it's legally made its way over to these shores.

Where the issue comes from is more of like a

moral ethical question of saying,

hey, we've got this stuff.

When in reality, you've got like five bottles,

so maybe five people buy it.

But hey, technically, you've got it.

And you know, it just becomes that thing where like,

okay, somebody can get the videos out there

or get the attention out there

and just be the first to something,

but like not actually have enough to be sustainable.

Whereas we might take more time to bring something in

and it might be frustrating, waiting.

But at the same time, when we do it,

we will have plenty to go around

and it'll actually be something

that you can reliably come back for.

And that's, I mean, that's a difference of approach.

So what do you prefer as somebody buying?

All right, so we've reached the halfway point in our show.

We've got plenty more questions and comments to get to,

but before we go do that, I want you to treat yourself.

Go ahead, grab a little snack.

It'll just be a couple minutes here

while we get things sorted

and we'll be right back after these messages.

Hello, and welcome back to the second half of Q&A Thursday here

at the Rag Company, where I'm your host, Dane Hennan.

And to my left, Anthony Fisher.

Dane, thanks for having me.

Glad to be back here for the second half.

Yeah, man.

And the fun half.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Over to my right here in the wash bay.

We've got none other than Carson Black.

Welcome to the program.

You've been detailing and then some on this EV.

Yes, this EV, no ice here today, just an EV.

Yeah, so that's kind of been the topic of discussion

I decided to put together as today's theme was,

okay, cleaning an EV versus an internal combustion car.

Are there different approaches?

Should we be cleaning them differently?

I mean, if you ask me a lot of times

when you see somebody throw a question up in a title,

the answer is almost always no.

But in this case, I would say, treat it like a car,

any other car, until you pop the hood.

Yeah, then things get a little different.

But it's up to you.

Anyway, we've been discussing that as we go along.

Anthony, you feel like you've got anything here to share

before we go on into the comments again?

No, glad to be back here for the second half.

Oh, speaking of, look at this.

Look who's calling me right now.

Oh, look at that.

Mr. Levi, hold on.

He's, oh, you got it, what?

Levi Gates, you are currently on the RAG Company Q&A Thursday

right now.

Hey, guys, how's it going?

Watching the show, hanging out here in the MOA pitch

SHQ Rocky Mountain Edition, coming to you

from the elevation of 5,800 feet here off of Lisbon Way.

Had a great lunch yesterday with Tony Mazzell.

We went and had some burgers over at the Good Times.

And yeah, just spending the day as the new director of North

America for Liquid Elements.

Congratulations to Levi Gates, the master of shine.

We actually did a shout out to you just a little bit

of go here and and shouted you out.

They call in.

No, and so everybody is super proud of you

and we're super excited to see what you bring to the

Liquid Elements game.

Well, Brian and I are very excited.

We can't wait to get started.

We've got some products available now, but we do have a

container on the water that is set to arrive here in the

next, gosh, probably five weeks, months and five weeks.

So we're really excited to get this party started

and start letting people know what Liquid Elements

is all about.

Nice.

So where could people find out more, Levi?

If Ed just had a curiosity.

Oh, great, great point.

We just got our dot com today.

Did you?

Okay.

What is it?

It's dash elements dot com.

Don't worry, guys.

It's not built yet, but it's on its way, but as of right

now, you're more than if you guys have any questions or

anything like that, you can message me or Brian.

We've also just I just started the Liquid Elements

USA Instagram page very nice.

Very nice.

You can check that out and you can always get a hold

of Brian and I at contact act liquid dash elements

dot com for more information.

But yeah, we've had some great, great meetings this

week and got a couple more for tomorrow.

And yeah, it's been it's been really nice.

Wonderful.

Well, everybody here on the Q and A is proud of you.

Carson's proud of you over there watching the car.

Dane's proud of you.

I'm proud of you.

And we're excited to see what happens, but we'll

have to catch up later because we have to

answer more questions.

We got a show to do.

Well, I'll be right in the chat.

Okay, get down there.

All right, we'll see you in there.

Levi Gates, Master of Shine everybody.

Love the guy.

Miss him every single day.

And so glad to see him jumping in.

All right.

So jumping into this, right?

Michael DeBlau.

Evening peeps.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Just finished washing the car.

Always great when it's all clean and shiny.

Parked back in the garage tired, but so but so satisfying.

I just I just had it on the break here.

I was actually going to say.

I'm really enjoying those built puff bars that I got from Costco.

It's like protein bars, right?

Yeah.

If you like chocolate covered marshmallows, right?

These are like protein bars that taste like

chocolate covered marshmallows.

They're like weirdly fluffy and chewy.

Best thing I've ever found as a guy who loves

gummy candy.

Yeah.

In the texture of gummy anything.

These are like I bought four boxes from Costco.

The best thing ever.

Oh yeah.

Yeah.

So I don't know.

I just if you're looking up your protein game,

check out the built puff bars.

They're really, really good.

You can do a lot worse than that for sure.

Next up.

Then I got stillies.

Smells took a turn for the worse in this room.

Okay.

Stilly.

Carson doing the golf clap or the wrist clap, as it were.

Yeah.

What do we what are we laying?

Are we laying down some iron remover from from armor?

Some armor detail supply, iron remover.

This car was bad.

Smell a little coconutty.

It actually now that you mentioned it, that's what that is.

I was trying to pick it up.

Yeah.

Better than regular iron remover.

So yeah.

No, very good.

The smell at least.

It's it's like a milder iron remover plus coconut.

Yeah.

Agreed.

So if you know what that smells like.

Next up here.

Yes.

Okay.

So next up we got DIY with Cain truly appreciate the detailed response on built

hammer.

I can't imagine the effort it takes to do it right rooting for you.

Thank you.

We're trying man.

Yeah.

Dude, we do appreciate it and it is a full on team effort.

It's not just us obviously there are a ton of people back here who work hard to make

sure the stuff gets done correctly.

Then we've got Aaron Bauer here.

Which band of tears do you have trouble with?

Oh, and then a bunch of people filled in the blank of what they thought it was.

And I'm guessing they were mostly accurate there.

Probably.

And then totally coincidentally just Neil White says I miss Wellows.

Me too, man.

Me too.

That was a good brand.

Yeah.

I love those products.

That's a quick detailer.

Still have them.

Still use them.

It's kind of your baby.

A bottle of waterless wash.

I do.

I need to bring it in.

You guys know that I bought like a case of waterless wash, right?

I try to buy a case of the quick detailer but everybody beat me to it, right?

That's because it's a quick detailer.

You helped make it like the best quick detailer of all time.

Stuff was goaded.

I love that stuff.

Waterless wash was also really good.

But yeah, I still use it, man.

I still I still have I don't know how many bottles left,

but I do need to bring Carson a bottle because it's good.

Yeah.

Michael DeBlau says last steps sealant glass tires shine are done inside the

garage and cleaning all the tools and storing all very nice.

He's got a process.

Paul Woodcock here.

It's been on a few of the recent Q&As.

Good luck with Bill Hamburg.

Their stuff is just astonishing, but they are also fanatical about quality.

That last sentence there.

Quality and the brand reputation and presentation and I mean ultimately preservation,

right?

So actually I'd say they're fanatical about quality and preservation.

That's probably the two biggest things that we find coming from Bill Hamburg.

UK market isn't as big as US.

So Bill Hamburg will grow as demand grows.

That's true.

Moving on.

All right.

Then we've got type one mobile detailing here.

There are excuses and then there are talking.

I'm a person who likes to see actions.

Actions speak loudest than words.

I love seeing new products coming in no matter how it gets here.

Type one definitely with an alternative opinion on how this stuff works.

And you know what?

If you're just excited to see stuff and you don't mind not actually being able to get it,

then yeah, no, that's totally fine.

I mean, I'm not going to argue with you.

Yeah.

Totally entitled to your opinion.

Well, yeah.

I mean, I don't really know what else to say there.

I mean, I can clearly see where it's coming from.

Is action.

I mean, actions speak louder than words.

I'm trying to think of how that, how do I do this in a nice way?

I don't know how to do this in a nice way.

Actions speak louder than words.

So sometimes you should think before you do.

I think that's a pretty, you should think before you do.

It's like doing something before you think.

And in the case of business.

You, you action, you do an action before you think about it, right?

Then you have to react.

Sometimes it shoots you in the foot, right?

And then you do have to react to Dane's point.

So no matter how it gets here, right?

Well, you want it to get here properly so it sticks around, right?

If you just want to be a consumer and you just want to consume, that's okay.

Then you can, you can consume in a lot of different ways, right?

Honestly, you can consume in ways that don't have to rely on somebody else to get product here,

right?

But I think that what it is, is people want to consume, but people also want convenience.

And that's the biggest thing, right?

Is how do you make it convenient for people to consume?

And, um, and somebody has to essentially jump in front of that bus, right?

And we just want to make sure if we are going to make it convenient to consume,

that we are doing it in the best way possible and the smartest way possible.

So there's no bridges burned, right?

Because people don't realize, you know, bridges get burned all the time.

And for those people that jump in front of a bus to be able to take that hit,

they're putting themselves out there.

But sometimes they don't care how they put themselves out there.

They don't care how it happens.

They just want it to happen.

And there needs to be some thought that goes into it.

But I imagine if you're like a smaller brand going out,

you're just excited to get your name out there.

I don't blame you if you're in that position.

But if you're like a larger brand and you have like a reputation,

you're kind of concerned about how you're perceived and all that stuff,

moving a little slower isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I love living my life a quarter of a mile at a time.

As my friend, um, as my friend, uh, Dom says, right?

I love that.

I, you know, I love living my life a quarter of a mile at a time.

But I know when it comes to, um, business,

I know when it comes to my career, people's jobs here, right?

You know, we have to be thinking about everybody when, um,

when making big decisions and we want to do it to benefit, you know,

you guys, uh, first and foremost, but secondly,

we want to make sure that we'll have jobs at the end of the day.

Yeah.

Dom, uh, Dominic Tredo.

Yeah.

Yes, he is.

Um, the, the, the fictional character is my friend.

Okay.

Um, however, I don't.

You and Vin don't get along.

I don't think that Vin Diesel knows who I am.

Oh.

Unfortunately.

Like I said, you don't get along.

I sent a lot.

I sent a lot of letters.

And I think it started freaking him out after a while.

Love your movies, man.

I'll be, I'll be your family.

Um, Details official says, I think we're all picking up what

Anthony is putting down.

I didn't know what I was putting down.

I don't, maybe I was putting something down.

Maybe I was putting it up.

I'm not sure.

All right.

And then we have a whole bunch of back and forth and people

saying hello to each other.

And then type one also follows up.

I don't think companies need to battle with one another.

There's billions of people meaning billions of cars.

And they all need washing.

Let's all just get along.

Now type one, I absolutely agree with, we're all here to make cars clean.

As far as battling goes, competition is a healthy thing.

I don't think that's bad at all.

Now where I do draw the line sometimes is ethics and, you know,

consideration of like just treating people with a level of respect and

understanding.

And if somebody's trying to cut corners, go for the quick thing.

That's where I kind of concern myself with how things are handled.

So, yeah, no, I don't feel bad culling stuff out if I see, you know,

something that just looks like it's going to lead people high and dry.

I don't think that's cool.

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah.

Just free.

No, we got a bunch of guesses as to what your middle name is

and a whole lot of people trying to figure it out.

Anthony Rex.

David thinks it's Rex.

Megan just says, what is Anthony's middle name?

All caps.

Megan.

Hans just screaming.

Silly goose.

It's not off.

And Brent, Anthony's middle name is Anthony because all day is his first name.

That's really funny.

Anthony Gunther Fischer is what Joey said.

Juice says, ego blowers and Gion wet coat.

Give me the, I don't know what he's on about now.

I love ego blowers.

Yeah.

I'm an ego blower guy.

I know, I still towels, so hope that helps.

Apply your seal into the microfiber cloth.

Like God intended, you can also do that.

Joey says, Gunther.

Okay.

So we're moving along here.

And okay.

I don't even know what half these comments are.

I'm just making my way.

Ron.

Yes.

Okay.

Same.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Welcome, sir.

Ron.

What's going on, my friend?

Happy to have you here.

How are you?

And stillies clarifies that he meant hood as a neighborhood.

Oh no, stillies.

I know that.

He knew.

I know, I know.

I just thought it just, you know, we can joke.

You remember he's from Modesto.

No, we're from Modesto, so we can joke around that.

Real quick, can you turn my mic on and listen to this?

Yeah.

Your mic is on now.

Here we go.

Oh.

Oh yeah.

Yeah, that is a.

Sound a little gritty.

Sound a little gritty there, Carson.

That's real.

You know what they say.

So what are you using?

What are you using to remove that grip?

Using the ultra clay scrubber.

This one's actually the Coach Kimme version.

Coach Kimme edition, ultra clay scrubber.

What's cool about that one?

What do you like about it?

This one is gray.

So just a little bit cooler color.

Gray and what else?

And the ultra clay scrubber.

I don't know.

It's gray and black.

Yeah.

Well, that was a given for the.

No, not everybody knows.

They assume it might be all gray because the blue one

are blue and pretty much all blue, right?

You know, sure.

Yeah, I guess you'll get that.

But more importantly for the folks at home watching,

what are you using as your lubricant while you do this?

Yes.

I'm using just actually GFX.

Add a little bit of left in the cabinet.

So it smells like Christmas over there.

Christmas, coconut, iron remover, whatever you want.

You've got a crazy combination of things happening

over there right now.

Ju says he definitely doesn't want us to be friends.

Okay, Tamara.

I love you too, Anthony.

Thanks, Tamara.

You get love when you beg for it.

No, I feel sick that I had to fish for that.

Yeah.

Oh, Fisher had to fish.

Stillies, thanks guys for turning me on to the WD detailing channel.

Super cool, fun material.

They're great guys, man.

They're awesome.

No, they do awesome work and the cars they get

like are truly and straight up.

And RJ is like super passionate about what they do.

And the stories they get are amazing.

It is not, this is not a just to make money kind of deal

thing for them.

There's other channels for that.

They are very much like they love this stuff.

They love seeing people's reaction.

And he loves cars with stories and he loves,

you can tell he's definitely like he wants to,

he wants to like, I don't know,

he wants to invoke memories and bring back emotion

out of owners of these cars and whatnot.

And that's like his, that's what brings him happiness.

And it's super cool to see that.

And I saw that off camera with how he told a lot

of these stories, which is cool.

Next up.

Then we've got type one mobile detailing saying

he's not a big fan of OPT, but he loves coach.

Really?

No.

Okay.

You know, I appreciate getting a better sense

of what it is that you like, don't like.

So you're walking us through it.

Thank you type one.

Then we get Alex over here.

Anthony, no freaking way for sure.

Nope.

You want to tell people what it is?

Just like stop guessing or we just

like this.

This is fun.

Anthony is for sure on my Mount Rushmore

of Tiersie personalities.

Oh, thank you.

I mean, yeah.

I appreciate that.

If you weren't, I would be concerned.

How many people are on Mount Rushmore?

I mean, you have four faces generally.

That's really not that many.

There's not a lot.

If I'm not on there, then crap.

That's what I'm saying.

I'm like, man, if he's not up there,

who are you putting in his place?

Yeah, dang it.

No, no.

Alex or Joey might try and like,

Brown knows a little and say my parents

or something.

Yeah.

I mean, that's, that's fair.

But I would, I would have to have a deal.

I would pay.

I would pay good money to have a sculpture artist

literally sculpt a rock of your dad and your mother.

No, but with the eye patch, like it would look cool.

He would look like solid snake.

In stone and then stone Henan also on that, right?

The campus.

It's literally stone.

It's just literally, well, it'd be hilarious

if it was like me, you and your parents.

And then Corey's like, what the heck?

And we're like, sorry, Corey, you got,

you got the ax for this particular commissioned

portrait drawing thing.

Oh man.

I'm sure Levi's going to comment like,

Hey, what am I?

Chopped liver?

That's true.

Levi can still be on that Mount Rushmore.

I think our audience would definitely want him on that.

Frank Krueger says,

How do I deal with insects slash bee

droppings in my car?

It's waxy when fresh,

but if left for a couple of days,

it's super hard and has almost to be scraped off

any particular cleaner method that, that is best.

So it's normal, dude.

I mean, really those,

they come around a few times a year.

I usually just do a quick little spritz

of rinse lists or water lists on that.

I let it just kind of dwell for a couple seconds.

Take my fingernail, pick it,

grab a towel, bought dry.

The residual, a liquid and move on.

Carson, if you want to use a stool,

you're more than welcome to grab the logo.

I am good.

I'm in the zone.

All right.

Just saying.

Chris, I don't want people

thinking we don't offer them those luxuries.

Even with using Bill Hanber Touch's pre-wash

and a synthetic clay,

I still had spots of it stuck on.

It's pretty normal, man.

I mean, you, for some of those spots,

I know exactly what you're talking about.

I use my nail.

I try to remove them when I see them.

They won't always come off in a wash.

That's why you just kind of,

I mean, I like,

I literally am already doing like that my reaction,

which is like lick my thumb and then like,

kind of pick it off a little bit.

You just need to get it to move,

because what happens is like those little drops,

they, they will move, right?

They're like a moving dot.

So like you'll scrape it

and the dot will just move to another location.

And then just like set there, right?

So you got to kind of pick it,

get it loose and then get a towel

and try to kind of, you know, wipe it off.

I get it.

All right.

Next up, we got Joey here

saying Darth Maul's lightsaber.

Greater than all the others.

Pretty sick.

It's pretty sick.

Neil White, Anthony,

the toys I had as a kid

are worth way more than what's out there now.

And you know what, Neil?

If the trend continues,

they'll continue to be worth a decent amount

until the people who cherish them the most

eventually, you know, fade away into the ether of time.

What's that mean?

And I'm putting a nice little spin on it.

And then as today's children

become the adults of tomorrow,

they will then value

their toys they had in their youth

and those will be valuable

because of nostalgia.

That's generally how it works.

That's also why some of the,

let's just say that the cars

at auctions that appeal to an older demographic

are actually seeing some of the prices

fall a little bit now.

And now it's the 80s and 90s stuff

that's really getting the attention.

So are you saying that once-

I'm not saying anything.

Are you saying that once these people become force ghosts?

Yes.

Yes, actually that is what I'm saying.

These people become force ghosts.

Their toys won't be really worth a whole lot anymore.

They're worth a lot,

whatever someone's willing to pay,

and the people willing to pay the most

are the ones most nostalgic.

And when the nostalgia runs out

because the people run out,

well, then you move on to the next newest thing

and the people who can afford to do that.

Two things.

I had two things that I'll bring up really quick, right?

I had, you know, remember the,

remember from that movie, Jingle All the Way?

Remember the Turbo Mandol?

Oh yeah, the entire movie about chasing for a toy.

Do you remember the Turbo Mandol?

Of course I do.

So I had the Turbo Mandol, right?

I still have them.

And I had it as a kid.

I thought it was the coolest thing ever, right?

Yeah.

The easy visor.

I always thought, man,

this coys me worth a lot someday if I keep it right.

Isn't worth freaking crap.

You can get the Turbo Mandol

in the original packaging for $20 off of eBay.

They made way too many of those.

And I'm like, why do I even,

why have I even kept this stupid thing, right?

So that's one thing.

The other thing I will bring up,

and this is kind of not related to toys,

kind of.

I mean, I've got some rare video games

that I've just held on to over the years.

So I'm just throwing this out there.

I've been talking to Dane about this,

especially talked about yesterday,

and I think we want to make it a reality.

Dane and I would like to go

to the San Diego Comic Con next summer.

That would be pretty cool.

We would like to do that.

We've got to enter the lottery system.

But apparently there's a lottery system

for being able to get in.

If anybody.

Well, that's if only one of us gets in.

Well, listen, here's what I'm hoping.

I'm putting this out in the ether, right?

If somebody knows of somebody,

who can get early access or knows of anything

of how we could get tickets to go,

that'd be really helpful.

That'd be really fun.

And we would share detailing tips

along the way as we're walking.

Does it work like SEMA

where you can like work for a company

for like a week?

No, I don't know.

But like, I know that it just happened

like a few weeks or a month ago, right?

I was like, man, that looks like a lot of fun.

I'd like to go someday.

And I'm like, I keep saying that every year.

I'm like, I should just do this

while we're young.

I think Dane would be hilarious to go with.

And we would walk through the halls.

Something would happen

that would just make Anthony laugh.

Oh, I need a lifelong memory with Dane at a Comic-Con.

So maybe let's just say,

I think we're going to try to like put in

to like get tickets to go next year.

If anybody else wants to tag along, let us know.

We got a lot of good comments coming up later.

So I want to make sure we get to those.

I'm five pages behind.

I'll do my best.

Neil White saying Count Doodoo's lightsaber

was pretty cool.

Huh, funny.

I don't remember that character.

Perhaps Dooku.

Joey Balinski laughing at Neil.

No, I get it.

Get her, the Lego Star Wars game.

Megan, I did download it.

The Lego games.

I am overwhelmed with how big that game is.

They're actually funny.

I got it.

And it's really cool.

Batman, Indiana Jones, Star Wars.

They're all really fun.

I started episode one.

I was like, oh, wow, this is a big undertaking.

This is not a small game.

It is really cool, Megan.

I dig it.

Yeah.

No, it's cool.

Juice Free here saying, hey,

oh, no, House of Cards said you guys

are a bunch of stinky poo faces.

You should really drop your price

on the microfiber towels to get back to them.

Did they say that?

I, did they say that?

I'll be real.

Next step.

Have not watched, so I can't say for sure

whether that's true or not.

But I doubt it.

I kind of doubt it.

Oh, no.

Well, that's not happening either.

So, wee.

Hang on.

Maybe.

So let's go.

Your daughter is stone cold.

I know, dude.

She goes for the kill every single time, right?

And, but I'm super proud.

I want her to be a very strong

and independent woman someday.

So, yeah.

Good call.

Shout out.

Well, I won't say her name for her own protection, but.

Well, thanks for making it weird, Dane.

So you have internal thoughts sometimes

that should stay inside.

Yeah.

But like, what?

How does that thought process work?

It's called being on the spectrum.

Yeah.

Paul Woodcock says he used to live in Japan.

I challenge you to fully detail a Deketora.

A Deketora, okay.

Oh man, I am a nerd because I know what that is.

All right.

Moving along.

Ronnie Yutt.

My nephew has the original Star Wars.

I almost said Rickatoni.

Star Wars action figures in the original packaging.

That's cool.

That's pretty dope.

Neil wondering if Juice is trying to start a fight.

Then Ron saying, yeah, I made the mistake of using

my 80s on the old Star Wars toys back in the 80s.

Oh, no.

M80s.

Oh, so he like, bloom up.

Neil likes to party.

Oh, no.

Wow.

And then Neil concerned that Lenny's going to show up in 321.

Then we've got...

There we go.

Ron says, when he bought them, he bought two of each.

One to play with and the other to preserve.

That's my kind of person, Ron.

I like that.

That's a very Fisher way of going about it.

I wish.

So I wish that there was toys nowadays that I could do that

with, like action figures that would be like a really cool thing.

Now, but nobody gives a crap about action figures.

All people care about are Pokemon toys or Pokemon cards.

And what else, Carson?

Can we talk about the phenomenon of labubus?

Yeah.

I don't even know what those are.

What's a labubu?

It started happening like a month or two ago.

And then they just hurt them everywhere.

Those little monsters.

Yeah.

I mean, I know what they look like, but why?

People are like, they're like little blind box things.

Yeah.

But they're paying like upwards of $250 for a box.

There's absolutely no reason to do that.

Of one in there.

It's just beanie babies effect almost.

Yeah.

Beanie babies were crazy.

Yeah.

No, those were nuts.

Yeah.

And all of those were worth nothing nowadays.

Yeah.

No, no, it's just sad if you see a marketplace listing on them.

You're like, oh.

If only I would have known about Pokemon cards though.

Don't crap.

Don't intentionally try and create an investment portfolio

out of toys that you love.

Just enjoy the toys that you love.

Maybe have a spare one if you think it's pretty cool

and you're afraid you might break it

and you need to have a spare.

And then maybe 40 years from now,

you ended up never opening it and you realize,

oh, it's still in the box.

And now it's worth something.

That's a happy accident.

But when you intentionally do it, not as cool.

True.

Next up.

All right.

Neal White, I have opinions.

I have the G.I. Joe USS flag.

Never took it out of the box.

It was worth a ton of money.

Oh, wow.

OK.

Cool.

OK.

Next up.

Hey, hey, gang.

Says master of shine.

He's named by the master of shine in the house.

The one, the only.

And Hydra saying that in Italy, he's in Tuscany.

Oh, wow.

20 minutes away from Florence.

Where's the machine?

Buying my wine storage for 2026 and making memories

and adventures.

The dust and limescale are insane here.

Also small roads that go very high up or low.

Very cool.

Well, I hope you get some good wine.

I'm imagining you will.

Right.

Ideally a wheel of cheese to go with that.

And some prosciutto.

And send some my way.

Hydra.

Yeah, Anthony would be all over that.

I love prosciutto and fine cheeses.

Meats and cheeses.

Then Neil going back on the toy talk saying,

the holy grail of toys for me is a 1979 Kenner alien toy

that was pulled from the shelf for scaring kids.

I love that.

Awesome.

That's funny.

And Hydra says, I meant EVs and hybrids.

Sorry, my bad.

No, you're good.

More toy talk and a bunch of back and forth.

OK, let's go to another page.

So much action figure talk here.

Here's a relevant question to the question I asked today.

Carlos Colley says, where will detailing

need to adapt most as EVs grow?

I want to hear Carson's opinion on this

since he's been detailing an EV today.

I think that detailing is going nowhere.

I mean, they're still going to be,

whether they're electric or they're not electric,

still going to need a clean car.

More scared for like the maintenance industry, if you will.

You used to work at a dealership,

so you know what that side of things looks like.

Yeah, I mean, of course, they're going to need

their basic tires, fluids, that kind of stuff.

But I think more things are more changing

to be like a parts changer and potentially an electrician

at the end of the day rather than a true mechanic

that needs to figure out what's going on.

Yeah, it's almost like software engineers

are going to have more jobs for that kind of thing.

Hmm. Yeah.

Now, as far as detailing goes though,

it's still going to more or less be

you're washing an exterior of a vehicle.

It's not going to be too different.

I mean, you got a charge port instead of a gas door, but

I'd like the Cybertruck thing where they're trying to change

different materials on the outside of cars.

It's not going to work.

So, you know, sticking with metal and paint,

it's going to be just fine.

Yeah, it turns out the way we've done things

for quite a long while kind of worked pretty well.

But, you know, I'm open to change

when and wherever it happens to happen

if it's something that actually is an improvement,

not just, you know, novelty for the sake of novelty

that backfires it goes nowhere.

Absolutely.

All right.

And then I've got compay.io saying or compay IP.

Hello, everyone from Mexico, Mexico.

Thank you.

Yeah, it's going on.

Adam, happy to have you here.

Bo James.

Shout out from Brooklyn and New York.

What would you use the edgeless pearl towel for

after using them to level ceramic coatings?

Really anything, man.

I mean, you can if you're demoting them in your process,

right, and they're still absorbent,

let's just say if you've managed to save them

by soaking them in an APC or whatever after the coating job,

you can use it for wheels,

you can use it for metal polishing,

interiors, carpets, engine bays, so many different things.

Yep.

Just if you choose not to put them back on paint,

there's a lot of other different surfaces you can use them on.

Right.

Thank God.

Hydra here saying about those tires,

some EVs and hybrids have a speed bar

that can go in the negative while breaking,

which recovers, generates some energy electricity

slash battery juice, like the Ford Cougar, for example.

I myself owned a Ford C-Max energy,

and there was actually different levels of regen you could do.

I could hit a button that would increase the regen

going down hills and stuff.

I could recharge the full battery

on one of the bigger hills over here on the mountain.

But yeah, no, I'm definitely familiar with that.

It's just as far as the tire goes.

I was wondering, is there something different

about the compound they're using

beyond just the low rolling resistance kinds

that you see a lot of EV tires going towards?

It's at the dealership.

I worked at a Honda dealership,

so we really just had hybrids.

Yeah, you had a lot of hybrids.

Personally, one of my favorite hybrids ever

is still the newer Honda Accord,

because it's just extremely efficient,

extremely gas mileage is great on it.

But the biggest thing we saw was just tires,

like blowing through factory tires.

Just the tread wear was terrible.

Yeah, like you're getting maybe 20 to 25,000 miles off tires.

Interesting.

So they actually were like the opposite

of low rolling resistance,

because those ones are usually really hard.

Yeah.

So these ones were softer

if they're wearing away that quick.

I left right when they were doing the prologue,

when the prologue was coming out.

Right, yeah.

Which underneath is actually a GM product, essentially.

Yeah, it is.

But just the couple people that had them,

I mean, even at like 15,000 miles,

they were going through tires,

and we were after warranty tires.

So that's one thing to be careful on.

I mean, geez.

Okay, interesting.

Well, there you go.

And Megan here wondering,

what's your favorite degreaser?

I'm going to throw that over to Carson here again.

Degreasing-wise, what interests you?

I've been really liking Clean by Armor Detail Supply

and then for like cost effectiveness,

I'm going to go a kind of a deep pull and wire clean by P&S.

Okay.

I know, good call.

What about you?

It's your favorite APC.

It's kind of your favorite APC slash degreaser.

Is that your favorite?

Yeah.

I don't know, man.

I used all the different products we have here.

I would say if I'm going to reach for something,

like if I'm actually like

doing some degreasing, degreasing,

I'm usually going to reach for like Optimum Power Clean

or Green Star from Coach Kemi.

Multi-Stars also works really well,

but Power Clean has been a pretty good staple for me.

I mean, really dirty engine bays.

Power Clean like that, it does it.

Yeah.

Next up.

And I'll just add one more comment in regards to like

how we approach EVs and stuff.

One that came to mind actually was as newer cars

keep advancing, more tech gets packed

into them, all this stuff.

You're ending up with more and more really like

delicate sensors and things like that,

that find their way onto different body panels.

It's all stuff you got to be mindful of,

including more cameras on these cars nowadays.

Not necessarily with this one,

because this is like a more on the affordable end

of the spectrum, but some of these more

expensive ones get really advanced with what they do.

And like a lot of the tests have cameras all over them,

but it's just something where when you're cleaning a car,

you're not usually thinking,

oh, I need to make sure I didn't scratch that lens

or you know, things like that.

And now suddenly you're having to consider those things.

If, if you are a particular detailer,

or maybe you're just somebody who's just like,

ah, broad brush, clean it, move on.

Then we got a bunch of love for Levi here

from Stillies and Juice saying,

Levi, come back, Cindy has like seven jobs.

Come on, Levi.

And then we have Ron saying,

I have a liquid elements polisher and I love it.

Nice, Ron, good.

Nice.

And that's page three.

So that brings us to page two.

We've got more here.

Ah, fine detailing.

Late, but that's okay.

He says, hi team.

I'm sorry about the lateness.

And then people are excited to see him.

Brent here, happy to hear from Levi.

And then Joey, let's see.

I lived on those protein bars during Monterey Week.

So good.

I know, I'm telling you, the built puff bars.

Amazing.

No, they're awesome.

They feel like candy.

They are like candy.

17 grams of protein.

They're great.

I'd love to see a long video about how to use tips and tricks

for the optimum product line, regardless of Mexico.

Cool, good idea.

Yeah, we can figure out something in the future.

If you haven't already, make sure after this,

you go and check out the Q&A we did with Jason

from Optimum a few weeks back.

It's in the live queue on the Rag Company channel here.

It's really good.

He did a lot of stuff with that Toyota FJ.

Then we go Ron with, I still have a couple of bottles

from WoWo, the interior finisher.

That was a great product.

So it smells amazing.

And Master Shine Levi weighing in with the Miss you guys.

Thanks for the love and more love there.

And then we've got Hydra talking about Iron Mover.

What's he saying?

Talking about Iron Mover, normally Iron Mover

isn't needed every time on EVs or hybrids,

but I notice weekly, bi-weekly it does.

It always turns out deep purple at the front.

That braking system is brutal.

Now that's a factor.

Then we got Ron here for some helpful advice.

Be nice to the people you meet on the way up.

You may encounter them on the way back down.

True.

Always good to be mindful of that.

And it's a two-way street.

It goes both ways.

All right.

Next up we've got Hussain.

I'm not going to say Alaskan,

even though my brain somehow ought to correct it.

Alice Gun.

Greetings from Turkey.

Do you know if Rupes has released an update

or second generation to fix the backing plate issues

on the Mark V and cordless HLR polishers?

Do you know about that one?

Do you know if Rupes released an update

or second generation to fix the backing plate issues?

Um, so as far as I know, I think they've been addressed

to the best of my knowledge.

I know it was a little bit of an issue for a while.

Bring your mics over here.

Yeah, I just, I don't feel 100% confident

in giving you an answer.

I would say to reach out to Rupes in Italy,

and especially if you're from Turkey,

and see if that issue has been addressed.

But I don't know for sure.

Yeah, because all of our Rupes knowledge

tends to come from the U.S. branch over here.

Well, I think it did affect everything to a certain degree.

But I mean, updates can differ in a global market.

Italy handles stuff differently.

They don't go through USA to go to Turkey, so.

I don't know if U.S. already, because basically everything,

most of these polishers that are being assembled,

manufactured in the U.S., right?

So for example, we have a U.S. production facility

here in Colorado for Rupes,

and they're making all these polishers in-house

and assembling them.

Well, that said, they're using all the same parts.

I just don't know if that part issue

had been addressed at that time,

you know, while these were starting to be produced here.

I'm not sure.

Yeah.

Anyways, they meant from a communication front,

not so much the actual building of them.

But Hanzo here.

Just wanted to say hi.

I wish the TRC crew a wonderful weekend.

Thank you, Hanzo.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

That goes for you too, Carson.

And then we've got Jeff C here with a,

I got one of 300 bottle shipment,

much-hyped soap alternative.

It's fine, question mark,

but when used side-by-side with an established product,

I see no reason to switch,

and there are some reasons not to.

So it's a one of 300 bottle shipment.

Okay.

So what you're saying is there were 300 total bottles made.

He didn't order 300 bottles,

but you got one of them out of the total 300

that were made, I guess.

And it's a soap alternative.

And you're saying it's not sure what it is.

The most exciting.

Okay.

Interesting.

And then he follows up.

Chasing new products as an enthusiast can be fun,

but that can run its course too.

If I were running a business,

it would be very hard to build the process

based on products that aren't in stock.

Now that is very true, Jeff.

And that's okay.

Not everybody necessarily.

I like that first sentence though.

Chasing new products as an enthusiast can be fun,

but that can run its course too.

It can.

Like anything.

You do too much of something.

You get tired of it.

Well, new enthusiasm.

I mean, it's, yeah, it's kind of like,

you know what it is.

It's literally anything.

It's like when a song comes out and you go,

I love this song, right?

And you just go and you have it on repeat

and you just play it until you hate that song, right?

I think I listen to Ludens by Bring Me the Horizon

at least a thousand times on my work desktop now

for some reason.

I don't know why.

It's just for some reason I got stuck in my head.

So sometimes you just overplay and overdo it, right?

Are you overindulged into something?

And it kind of just runs its course

and you kind of just go, that was really fun.

You'll spend a lot of money doing it.

And I don't want to discourage people

from trying new stuff.

I mean, we love trying new products.

I think it's so much fun,

but even at a certain point, you know,

we have to, even us working here, right?

At our own personal garages, we have to establish,

all right, what are we actually using at our house, right?

It's fun to try stuff, but what are we actually

going to be putting to the test,

putting to use every single day at home,

you know, here in the shop and whatever.

And so, yeah, I agree with what he's saying, but yeah.

Jeff has a really good head on his shoulders.

He usually has a really good perspective on these things.

So I always value his opinion.

Then we got juice-free.

Jeff, see, I know some retail consumers

do have fun washing their cars,

but I think ultimately, the consumer wants the same thing

as the pro to wash the car at the highest quality possible

for the lowest price, I'm guessing.

It's funny juice.

We actually had a conversation with Dan yesterday

about people who maybe have like a very obsessed

or, you know, a very intense way of looking at detailing,

like that's what led them to get into it in the first place.

And then they want to do the pro thing,

but when you actually see the pro thing applied in real life,

it's not quite what you picture.

It's a little different.

Yeah.

Oh, that's a whole long conversation.

That's a bucket of beans that I don't think we need to spill right now.

That's a fun one, but a long conversation.

We'll get into that sometime.

Maybe we need to just have a whole podcast by then.

I don't know, something.

But anyway, interesting thoughts all around.

Then we got Flak Pyro here.

Howdy, fellas, or hello, fellas.

Dan, ever thought about making a return to Twitch?

Flak, I have thought about it.

People want the return.

I finally got access to my downstairs TV again.

Yeah.

Now that Corey's stuff has moved out,

I actually have my stuff down there.

I was able to plug it all in last night,

and I'd watch some shows on my Xbox,

and I'm like, oh, I have an Xbox again.

That's nice.

So I might get my gamer pass again.

We'll see.

Yeah, Ju says the consumer wants to do it like the pros.

Well, there were limits to that,

and that was part of a very deep conversation

that we do not have time for today.

But the actual professional way of doing things

versus the perceived professional way

of doing things can differ a bit.

Here, I'll just say like, oh, I'm going to do one more.

I know, you're like, all right, we're going to lay it out there.

The customer, or the consumer, right, I should say,

the consumer, the enthusiast wants the validation of the pros.

They want to know that what they are buying

is pro-approved and pro-used.

Because, I mean, that's the best thing, the pros.

Okay, and this is for everyday consumers.

They want the validation of the pros.

This is what they think they want

and what they think they know.

But if you know anything about true detailing,

then you'll know that the pros out there

that have been doing this for 20-something, 30-something years

aren't using anything that you currently are seeing, usually,

as a consumer.

Most of the stuff they're using

is stuff that is being bought off of a truck.

The truck usually has a stock of items

that are being blended by major manufacturers of detailing

that are not going to be your top level brands

that you think of in the first place, right?

They're going to be things that people watching YouTube videos

might even scoff at on the regular.

And that's the part we're trying to convey.

But with that said, though, what you're looking for

is your most people, they're looking for the most premium

products at a relatively good price that pros, again,

approve of or would validate as saying,

these are really good products.

But if you're doing detailing for a business,

really, you're looking for the highest margin

in any product that you continue to use.

Now, there's different levels of detailing.

There's pro-detailers out there who are niche-detailers

who specialize in high-end detailing, right?

That's what consumers see.

They think that's all pro-detailers.

Consumers see lares of the world and they go,

that's a pro-detailer, right?

That's a different thing.

Well, that's a niche-detailer.

Yes, it's a guy who's very good,

but it's a niche-detailer.

That's fantastic.

A pro-detailer, for the most part,

would sometimes be considered anybody who's done this

as a full-time job for a number of years, right?

Let's take Levi Gates, for example,

the man, the myth, the legend, the master of shine.

He's in the chat right now.

He would agree with what I'm saying right now

because this is how it works.

But what most consumers are looking for is validation.

That's what they want.

They want to know that what they're using on their cars

is the best of the best.

But what we can tell you here at The Rag Company

is that the things that we sell to you

to use your cars on have so much scrutiny

in the whole process of finding out what truly is the best

that we feel confident by saying that,

hey, these are going to be some of the best

for our customers and for you consumers

and for pro-detailers out there.

But really, people who are doing this as a business

usually are going to look for the best bang for the buck

to do the job for the lowest price

to be able to take home the most cash at the end of the day

because this is their job.

That's what they're doing to feed their family.

And here's the big bud.

Sorry, I'm trying to find out.

You're totally good bud.

I'm throwing in here's the big bud of it all.

When it comes to what people perceive as like,

I want the profession.

I want the best thing.

It's like, well, those aren't necessarily the same.

It's best for the situation.

What I would use if I was running a shop

versus what I would use on my own vehicles at home

with my own time to spare and no consideration of dollars

and cents applied to how much time has spent.

I'm using the products we carry here

long before I use the stuff that a pro-detailer

is usually using in their shop for the various cars

from a dealer lots and things going through

because they're just trying to get the job done.

They want to make the most of the end of the day and go back.

But if you're an enthusiast and you care about this stuff

in the way that I imagine many, many, many of you do here,

it's a little bit different.

There's a different psychology to it.

But I think people have a misunderstanding

of what professional actually is.

I will say the one area where this would change

and this would differ would probably be

in the coding realm of things.

So when you talk about actual ceramic coatings,

generally speaking, a ceramic coating

is something you would want to buy from a brand

or a reputable brand that has backing,

that has third-party testing and all this.

And you know it has honestly good consumer feedback

because really once a coating is installed,

the only feedback that you're really getting

is going to be generally from the consumers

unless that professional is maintaining that coating.

Then you're going to have the feedback

from the pro as well.

But for the most part, outside of that,

when it comes to maintenance products,

interior, exterior, wheel cleaning,

tire cleaning and all of that,

the choice of the pros is really what's going to be able

to do the job for the lowest price that can be diluted,

that can be trained on for detailers

within a shop function.

And then what are the most common things

you'll see in a detail shop?

The joke is that when Levi says

lacquer thinner for everything,

why do you think that Levi

used lacquer thinner for everything?

Levi used lacquer thinner for everything

because lacquer thinner is one of the cheapest,

most effective ways to clean most things.

And it couldn't be the safest thing all around?

Maybe, maybe not.

It depends on the situation.

But if you're a detailer,

that's what you're going to be using

over a lot of other niche products.

And that goes to say, it's the same thing for soaps.

That goes the same thing for interior cleaners

and everything else.

But what we are trying to do

is cater to an audience

who cares about their vehicles

and cares about their investments.

And cares about the experience you get

from using the products.

That's where it differs a lot.

And that's what consumers,

that's what prosumers.

And that's what a handful,

not all, but a handful

of professional detailers enjoy most.

And that's what makes a lot of this

so much fun and relaxing

and everything else.

But yeah, that's a whole, sorry.

I think that's an extremely valuable lesson

for a lot of people here.

Oh, that was just a small.

Oh, that's good.

That's real.

Jeff C, more products to use.

The more I value due diligence,

education, support that TRC provides,

so instead he is better than you.

Thank you, Jeff.

Appreciate that.

Yeah, the reality is the pro products

a lot of times, user experience,

not great.

Kind of sucks a lot of the time.

But that's why I would rather use

the nicer stuff even if,

you know, in the shop,

it's not going to make the most sense.

All right.

We've got Joey Bolinski.

Comic-Con sounds like an introvert's nightmare.

Joey, do it with us.

Yeah, make it, make it.

Dane finding the nicest,

most diplomatic way to talk

about a demographic dying off.

Well done, sir.

Thank you, Megan.

You were picking up what I was putting down.

Appreciate you.

Mike G, yo, what's up, all?

Went to Comic-Con one time

and although fun, it was a one-time thing.

I think it would be a one-time thing for me, Mike,

but I do want to do it once, at least once.

Yeah.

Then Ron wondering what I would cosplay as.

Oh, I don't know where cosplaying.

I just want to attend.

Oh, no, no, no.

Now that I see how uncomfortable you are,

I'll cosplay.

I'll cosplay as a rocketeer

from that Disney film back in the night.

I love that movie.

Dane, I think you should cosplay as the Hulk

to pay homage.

I knew my body type would come into this discussion quickly.

Dane, you've been the Hulk before.

Exactly.

I've already been the Hulk.

I could be the thing for the Fantastic Four.

Yeah, just cover me in a bunch of orange makeup.

Yeah.

Next up.

It's just me being orange.

Let's try to speed run these comments, Dane.

Yeah, no, let's go.

All right, so we've got, oh my goodness, G Davis.

Oh, no, Dane's version of Mount Rushmore

would include an Asian themed gift shop

and snack bar with a risqué glossy eight by tens

of him and Godzilla available.

That's hilarious.

Thank you, Chief.

Oh, man, Aaron says,

Instant Comic-Con is similar to Disney where adults

kind of are over the top.

Sounds like Anthony's worst nightmare.

I know what it would be.

Maybe the most fun.

It was his idea, not mine.

Dane says, oh, my daughter and I never actually

complete any task, whatever you call them

in those Lego games, but we did find the button

that would make the characters do flips.

That's what's important, Megan.

Yes, wonderful.

That's too funny.

Juice Free saying, labubus are a Furby V2.

Oh, man, the technology in the Furbies

was interesting actually.

Tomodachi's are back to you.

Oh, no, Joey.

Oh, man, everything that's old is new again.

Here we go.

Come on, keep going.

You got Ricardo.

What's up, TRC crew?

Showed my kids some of the old toys.

The other day definitely brought back some nostalgia.

They don't mask toys.

They don't make toys that they used to.

Also, probably true.

Paul Woodcock is also the name that he used

in Portugal to sell fake haunted cars.

Juice Free is that new old stock?

Yeah, new old stock.

That's what he's saying.

Juice Free says, you're supposed to charge more for EVs.

Yeah, when he's talking about future detailers

dealing with the EV stuff.

Yeah, OK.

You charge more for an EV.

That's, there's a logic to that.

This is an electric car with water on it.

The extra weight is killing the tires.

Next up.

Yeah, the extra weight from EVs definitely is something.

Hypersill is a phenomenal product.

Why do you guys want to talk about it more?

It is a phenomenal product, and we have talked about it

until our face turned blue.

We talked about it amongst ourselves a whole lot.

Yeah, it's a good product.

Dave loves it.

That was page one.

Dave loves it.

There you go.

Now we're on to page one from page two.

David, if you can't spray it and spray it in

and half heartily rinse it off, then kids don't want it.

That's funny.

That's right.

You actually can't spray it on and rinse it off,

which is really funny.

Paul Woodcock says, well, the real Woodcock

hasn't been to Portugal,

did, however, live the same town as the factory.

As the factory, that makes about 70% of the world's

piston rings in Japan, though.

That's cool.

That's a fun fact.

Wow.

That's so specific.

What is Carson putting on for LSP?

I do not know.

And then it goes oofobic.

Fobic, nice.

Is that what you put on, Carson?

Oh, yeah, he is.

Correct.

Okay.

Yep.

Ryan's got some sharp eyes.

I'm applying it like a coating,

so it's going to last a little bit longer.

I'll be honest, that bottle is pretty old.

So there's a couple little floaties in there,

so who knows if we're going to get the true one.

Steve says, so you live near a Subaru spare parts

manufacturer.

That's hilarious.

Yeah, his name is Carson.

Here, one manufacturer spare parts every time

something breaks.

I love trying new products that work well.

Once I fall in love with a product,

I stick to it for long haul, P&S,

Gion, KCX, Carpo and Griot have served me well.

Nice.

Excellent.

And we've got another Paul Woodcock.

In Toyota, Honda, Nissan Mitsubishi,

Daiatsu, Ford, Pujo, BMW and Alfa.

Wow.

Throughout to add Adam Stuttliss,

especially the Shampoos.

Adam Stuttliss having the Shampoos.

Steve Pearson.

We're going to get to this whole page.

Just taking a day at Subaru for having bad piston rings.

Nice.

And that's okay.

I get Carson a hard time,

but the reality is he loves Seabroos.

My first car was a Seabroo,

and I loved that car.

Rodney S says, just curious,

nosey a month ago,

I received one of my shipments at M22s

from New York State.

Do you guys have a DC there?

I love the M22s and TRC.

I do not know if we have.

I do not know.

All right.

Something to work on.

Thank you, Rodney.

Yeah, I'd not up top my head.

So North Carolina, is what he said right?

North Carolina.

He said North Carolina, right?

Not New York.

He said New York.

Here, keep going and I'll get it back out there.

Rip off my veal, Anthony.

Have a DC there.

Oh, sorry.

From New York State,

Detailers Domain, is the closest thing there?

I just don't know if there is like a brick and mortar store,

but based on the closest distributor

would be Detailers Domain, I believe.

And then in the detailed image.

Detailed image actually would probably be the closest.

DIY with paint.

Anything you can share about TRC and SEMA 2025?

We'll be there and we're bringing some fun stuff.

There are new things.

Don't worry.

There are very, very new things.

Neil White says, juice-free coatings,

smuggled over the border are the best.

Yes.

And then the year mark on my coating,

ain't how long it will last

and how long you're going to jail

if you get caught with it.

Oh, my gosh.

Anthony Dane, you can't play as Frodo in the same way.

That's hilarious.

Oh, G. Davis looking out for me.

A screen-worn rock and tear suit is up for auction.

$60K last time I looked.

Little rich for my blood, my friend.

All right.

And Hans Klosen, last comment I'm going to put up there

with some very, very good advice.

Hitting that thumbs-up button, guys.

Thank you so much.

And gals, hit that thumbs-up button.

Subscribe to the channel if you haven't already.

And Anthony, is there anything

you'd like to leave the fine folks with?

No, thanks for watching, guys.

Have a great weekend.

Don't do anything that we wouldn't do.

Have fun, be safe.

Yeah, we're getting ready for fall weather.

So go out there and watch something.

Love that.

And the very last one I'm going to throw it over to, that's right.

I'm going to kick it over to Carson

to do our final farewell today.

Uh-oh.

Give the folks at home.
