For right now, yes. But I'm going to be switching to DIY DETAIL tire shine and applicator brush.

The coating I used is $160/1oz, but I was able to coat the Camaro, my wife's Escape and a 2020 Toyota RAV4 and I still have a decent amount left - enough to maybe do another small car. So looking at it that way, plus if it even holds up 3 years, it's not that expensive per use.

Didn't mean to sound like a jerk. Perhaps our environments are different, so we have different experiences. We get tons of salt here in NE Ohio, and that plays a huge factor in LSPs clogging, as does the tree my wife parks under. I haven't "clayed" in years, I use a decon towel for the most...

Sounds like you're of the belief that a "working coating," is one that's a bulletproof, force field - where nothing will adhere to it, scratch it or ever get contamination stuck to it. That's just not accurate.

That goes against everything DIY says. Their explanation for the reappearance of hydrophobics is because by the time you do a complete decontamination, ALL the contamination that had been 'clogging' the paint is now gone. And if there had been protection on the paint, it would once again be able...

Funny you ask, I just wrote Anthony Orosco and have him an update. I had put it on my wife's Escape almost a year ago. When I washed it almost 2 weeks ago, I thought the 365 was dead. Bit then I did a decontamination with iron remover and a decontamination towel, then used DIY DETAIL Water Spot...

I still can't wash the car for almost 5 days (Sunday), but i was curious about the hydrophobics, so I "let" it get caught in the rain. After curing around 24 hours 72 hour Cure, hydrophobics

What do you all think?

I`ve been detailing at one level or another since I was 16 (almost 58 now). My 1st "Mentor" was stuck and rigid on processes and techniques for SINGLE STAGE paint, apparently oblivious that BC/CC paint needs to be handled entirely different. Needless to say, I picked up a lot of bad habits that...

After discovering DIY Detail on YouTube, I watched several videos of Yvan Lacroix demonstrating using a rotary to enhance and FINISH a vehicle, so I gathered my courage and gave it a shot ...

Many moons ago, I bought a cheap Harbor Freight rotary because, well, I wanted a rotary. No real experience using one, and over all that time, I used it ONCE a year ago when my black Camaro had SEVERE fallout damage on the top surfaces. Even then, All I knew was high speed, tilt the polisher...

Most products say to use caution or not to use in direct sun on a hot surface. HOWEVER ... One of the things Anthony O sent me in the Nexzen `goodie bag` was a bottle of Ceramic Xpress, their spray topper for the 365 Pro 1 year coating and suggested I use it after washing to help maintain the...

I finally got around to using the final product sent to me by Anthony Orosco - their Leather/Vinyl/Rubber protectant. It`s a very thin, white liquid that self-dries, and leaves exactly the type of finish they advertise - a "Factory Finish." I really like it, because it leaves the type of...

This time, it`s my wife`s car getting a Spring Cleaning exterior detail
