I learn from every video, Yvan is a detailing encyclopedia, plus AI, plus being a cool dude.

The most logical master detailer in modern age!

I don’t have a flat finished car… so didn’t think I would learn anything.

I was wrong

Your videos always have information that I learn from. Using your rinseless and iron remover/clay this weekend.
So awesome to know that I won’t be using an entire bottle of iron remover!

Thanks guys

Does Ivan enjoy saying perforated synthetic decontamination towel?

[nolefan]

any idea when the clay towel will be available again? slso just hot my order & want to make a quick detail in a 32oz bottle. my math is TERRIBLE, but I came up with.75oz does that sound right for the correct ratio? Can’t wait to try out my DA with the gold standard & pads. shoukd I use the waffle pad 1st or the microfiber?

❤ the TUTORIALS!!

Great video & tips guys! I like how Nick teleported into the video scene @ 5:40 😄

Yvan, the mix you mention with a gal. of water, 8oz. All-Clean & 1 oz. Incredible Suds...is that for use in a pump sprayer or would you then pour that mix in a foam cannon?

What do you suggest using for winter protection on matte paint I’ll be getting a ceramic coating after winter. Is quick beads safe?

[Steven-nviv]

Can you use high ph pre washes when washing/decontaminating matte paint (as long as you don't let it dry)? Also, are matte wraps treated the same as matte paint for decontaminating, washing, coating etc? Thank you!

Hey guys, is your gold standard polish the only spray polish on the market? I wish I could purchase but I live in Australia. Love your videos.

[massformationpsychosis]

Hey guys, I’ve got a question! What’s the benefit/difference of using a panel prep spray, Vs. 50/50 Isopropyl alcohol and distilled water?

[davidnevins]

Auto fiber makes a plush microfiber wheel brush I think you’ll really like. Main benefit is no fling back like from the one you are currently using. No I’m not affiliated with, lol.

We don’t need to talk, but we never shut up.🤣🤣🤣 Great line!

Thank you for this video from Australia

I have a problem - someone sprayed some oil-based liquid on two areas of my matte finish - marring is evident and I'm really frustrated because this happened in transit from the dealer to my city.

What do you recommend if anything at all to help remove remnants of the oily substance and the resultant marring please?

Also, will you ship your products to Australia please?
God bless from Australia

I just got a used motorcycle that has a suede (matte?) finish paint job on it and I'm wanting to clean it up so I came across this video. I was wondering instead of a rinseless wash could I also just use a ph neutral soap like incredible suds with no additives and foam it with a foam cannon then rinse as well? also for dirt and grime/bug guts on the front forks use something like all clean as well without having to be worried about it getting on the matte paint? I've never delt with matte paint like this so im wanting to be extra careful to not harm the bike when i clean it! thanks guys!

Where do you purchase those clear buckets from? Thanks.

[hothefa_oby]

‏ ‏‪8:44‬‏ can I use any kind of good quality iron removers on a good clay towel or it's just work on your own towel and iron removal

[TheAlien]

Why aren't you using the two bucket method when cleaning the surface with the mitt

[alvin]

If you use iron remover with the rinseless wash wouldn't it dilute the iron remover and make it less effective?... You are already using very little iron remover and diluting it as well

[LimoncelloDigital]

If my sponge comes out as like minute 7:11 what should i do?
