This is me explaining how the Nanoskin Autoscrub Pad takes the place of detailing clay but can be used by machine.

I'm not much of a gambler but I would bet AJ knows how to use more polishers than all the other guys you see on TV.

This is how you make the letter "L" for lucky! As in AJ was lucky to have her showcased on the show and thus detailed to perfection!

In my Competition Ready classes I share hundreds of techniques I've learned over the years and also share them on our TV show...

Here I'm explaining how to "clamp" a towel. Gives you grip and control over the towel, spread out the pressure of your hand and keeps you from dropping your towels on the ground when wiping on vertical sides.

Great job by the team.
In this episode we show using the SCANGRIP Sunmatch swirl finder light to inspect for swirls and the car not only had swirls but it also has holograms meaning the last person to detail the car used a rotary buffer.
For every TV production company I've worked with I've always had to show the camera guys
A: What swirls and holograms are?
B: Taught them the importance of capturing the swirl shots.
It's like the article I wrote about how the POWER in the after shots is created in the BEFORE shots. If you don't capture the before... how would anyone know how powerful the transformation is after the fact? Anyway, you'll see what they captured in this episode.
And "yes" she was not only swirled out but also covered in contamination.
