    This is too funny....

    I typed below into Skynet and the first link it brought up was a link to my bio on Autogeek

    car detailing myths mike phillips


    First search result

    Mike Phillips Bio


    The second search results was a link to my books....

    Mike Phillips Detailing Books





    I was searching to see if I had anything written on the topic so I included my first and last name. This always helps me to find stuff I've written but cannot find.

    The term "Full Detail" lots of variables there.
    Maybe the idea that if you can buy it in a box store it's a bad product

    The words “polish” and “wax” are not interchangeable.

    Definition of the word “glaze”

    Pressed for time but those two always stand out.

    Coatings are force fields.

    "Waxing" a car (i.e. applying a sealant you picked up from the Walmart auto aisle) will not remove all the swirls and scratches from paint and make it look new.

    Just thought of another one, so I'm going to toss this grenade in the room and then quickly run away...

    If one layer of an LSP is good, lots of layers MUST be better!
