Guys like these two make YouTube educational. I love how I can learn without having to pay, because this right here is gold!

[MichaelJShaffer]

The hand lotion example should wake EVERYONE up. That's an impressive demonstration and a great example of "critical thinking".
Love this ATA series, Larry and thank you for educating us all.

Detailing for 10 years I always come back to these videos whenever I’m stuck literally so easy and professionally explained I thank god for these men’s knowledge

[TheBeardedHustleAssociation]

This is the most informative video on polishing I have seen so far on YouTube. I been watching YouTube videos on polishing for 4 months now. THANK YOU

[MrResinrider]

As a beginner to the car Polishing and waxing game, I have been watching plenty of " How To" videos, and this is hands down the most informative and simple to understand video I have seen! Thanks for this. I think this has just saved me a bunch of time and money. After watching this I can definitely say that I was overworking my material.

[paulbanks]

I have recently been on a two-day course introduction to the world of auto-detailing in the south of England. But to be honest, I feel I have learnt more from your YouTube videos than I did on the course. Well done, keep up the good work!

[gregoryhorvath]

This is undoubtably the best series of instruction by the best in the industry. Keeping it simple has helped unload my mind. Thank you, Larry and Kevin.

[scuffedgravyboat]

the fact that this much information is on here for free is amazing

[drewsomers]

Everyone who polishes paint should watch this video. Reasonable expectations are crucial in this business. It's all too easy for even an experienced detailer to polish a car saying "I have to get this scratch out" and before you know it you're through the clear. Not every car can have a show car finish and expecting that is a recipe for disaster. Great content and awesome information. Thanks Larry!

[wernercollins]

i cannot emphasize this enough, these are the best videos on the internet. Been watching videos on detailing for way too long now, but this blows my mind. Thank you so much guys.

[brunofontinha]

Its incredible the time that you larry dedicate to others explainning clear as water all this topics about detailling..Thank you so much larry

[franciscodelvalle]

It is awesome been able to pick at Kevin's brain... or in most cases, let him pick at yours. I was fortunate to talk to him over the phone about what I was planning on doing to my truck, and by him asking questions on what my plan was, what I had for materials and tools he was able to give me sound advise that probably saved me a couple of headaches... thanks Larry and Kevin for taking your time to help us out by providing this videos.

[jackjd]

I've been polishing for 3 years and I've leaned so much from this video! thank you for going so in depth but also keeping it easy to understand and digest!

[videomaniac]

I started using Meguiar's products on a Porsche that I had about 25 years ago and I'm using the line now for a new 370Z that I just got. I would agree with choosing a reputable company with a long history in the business and sticking with their line of products. I am nowhere in the league of these fellows here but I do pride myself on doing a fairly good job on the finish of my car, largely due to being patient and attentive to detail.

[dyingangelo]

Meanwhile other small time YouTube detailets be like " I'm not gonna show you my secret" while bragging about working on a corolla

[nickwarman]

Really great examples. Anyone who is getting over the beginner stage and/or thinking about a business would greatly benefit from this video. Well done!

[anomalous]

I have watched hundreds of these videos. This video is by far the best. Thanks.

[abbashaider]

Thank you for making these videos! I've been wanting to polish my car for a long time but have been scared to as I dont want to mess up my paint. These videos are really informative and I'll polish my car following all the tips given in this series. Just gotta wait for the whole series to be uploaded and the snow to melt where I live.
