I've watched several of these, and there is no 'grade,' or 'number' score given to any of the shops or garages. He usually comments during the video, towards the end, with suggestions on improving their shop. Then usually a "recap" of his suggested upgrade or improvements. Like I mentioned, I...

Did the video cut off on you? I think that I'm the first (maybe only) person to get audited that ISN'T a 'working shop.'

How local? Need your car detailed? 🤣

It wasn't so much of an audit, as it was a commentary on how it may not be the ultimate garage, but it serves my purposes. It cmae as soon as he sat down. He said It may not be the Taj Mahal, but it's what he (I) want and what he (I) need. Part of the 'audit' was given during the audit, in the...

Garage Audit I mentioned that Yvan Lacroix came to my house April 1st. I thought it would be interesting to those who are into detailing.

If you have projector headlights, use LEDs, if you reflector headlights, get an upgraded halogen light.

Projector headlights that actually use the lens to focus the light pattern and not just 'kind of direct" the light pattern about where it's supposed to be are ideal for LEDs, as they have a sharp horizontal cutoff that prevents the light from going high enough to blind other drivers. 'Old...

It's not the LEDs fault that many of the people who install them refuse to aim them properly, you said it yourself " ...then have them aimed to the sky." I've had my LEDs for several months now, and never flashed once because they were blinding another driver. Maybe that's since I purposely...

Just be warned ... DIY DETAIL doesn't follow along with "Established Norms." They think that "trying for perfection" is harmful for the car (you end up removing too much paint in attempting to eliminate every defect) and shorten the life of the finish by making the paint too thin. Also they...

@buster I just spoke with Yvan about the coatings used in the video you referenced, he is close with Frank (the guy who made the video). The pro only coating and Pan's coating bottles were both brand new and unopened before application. The DIY 3-year bottle was opened a some time before on...

buster as long as you go in understanding that while a good coating is far better than a wax and spray sealant, and that they are NOT bullet proof force fields, you're ahead of the game. Too, knowing that ANY protection product is subject to contamination build-up and will need a SIMPLE decon...

So 3 different coatings reacted differently under extreme conditions. Granted, the DIY 3-year appeared dead, but was it really? Or did the amount of salt simply clogged it? Saying that it failed outright can't be determined...yet. All it means is that the other two coatings were better at...

There are no such 'requirements' on the coatings I'm using. In fact, they tell you *not* to "freshen up the coating with a spray ceramic topper." All that's "required" is to maintain the coating with proper washing and when needed, decontamination. DIY DETAIL **does not** warranty their...

Just a one-step using DIY DETAIL, Gold Standard Polish, their Gold Waffle Pad and their 25mm DA on speed 3. Three passes with the polisher per section.

DIY Gold Standard Polish can be used to clean the trim, then I used Turtle Wax, Graphene Acrylic tire shine on the black trim.

The owner thinks it looks that way too!

She picked her car up and was OVER THE MOON! This very non-demonstrative, very professional woman grabbed me and gave me a hug, she was so excited that her car looked: "Even better than brand new!" When I contacted her to tell the vehicle was ready, her husband hiccuped slightly at the total...

DIY DETAIL 8-year coating, their most chemical resistant consumer coating.

Just finished this for a client this morning

How are these?
