    I still get a kick out of the "Old two door....." references, Mike. Lol
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    I watched live, my first time. I enjoyed! Definitely will watch again, even if it’s informative background video while I finish my desk job.

    Thanks for tuning in - in all of these videos I basically do a brain-dump on the topic whatever it is. I also share car wax history and other tidbits that apply to the project or process.

    I want to mention that I enjoy the live aspect. It brings out the realities we all face ourselves when doing our detailing. Like I believe the Mustang had dried before you started re-lubing for clay and technically you could have started claying immediately when the car was still wet to save time. You missed it because you were explaining things to a live audience. I miss things like that because my wife may come out and ask me some questions.

    Either way, the live aspect brings out the reality in detailing, including how things don’t go exactly the way you plan and how to get back to the task at hand. This mimics real life for me so it’s nice to see.

    He used the short nap grey all purpose towels. They come with a lot of products in bundles. Good towels.

    Something like these (hopefully the same ones?):
    Gray Edgeless Polishing Microfiber Cloth

    Yep - that was a mistake on my part. Should have rinsed after washing and then right to claying.

    Caught my mistake and owned-up to in "live" because I would rather admit a mistake then cause confusing about what we we're dong and thus what someone else should do if they want to follow the techniques and order shared in this video.

    Thanks for commenting.

    What I like personally is sharing "how-to" info. After hosting 2 TV shows that are SO staged - I find instead of all the primping that goes into trying to make a TV show "look real", just turn the freaking cameras on and go with it.

    Plus we're showing cars in the same fashion that I work by - that is - INSTEAD of TRYING to find a car to do something to - we just take WHATEVER I have in front of me and work with it. It's the real-deal.

    We share more info in one of the "live" videos than we probably ever did in any of our TV shows. And it's fun too.

    Nothing wrong with all the TV shows we did, they were fun to but like all TV shows - there's simply so much mock-up and staging when I "think" that what people really like is content that HELPS them, not theatrics.
