Yes, you read that right -- you can, indeed, wash your car with a brush. But it's got to be the CORRECT brush -- one that's safe on paint, like our Wheel and Body Brush. Or, our soon-to-be-released Perfectly Safe Brush (PSB). More on that in the podcast. Anyways, whether it's a wash mitt or a sponge or a brush . . . this is the podcast for you!

You might think this sounds crazy -- comparing a wax to a ceramic coating? "Isn't wax dead?!" you might be asking. Not at all! Ceramic coatings provide much more DURABLE protection -- but wax offers some fantastic benefits, albeit relatively temporary when you compare them with ceramic coatings.

It might sound simple, but the topic can be confusing -- especially if you're new to detailing. So this podcast is all about simplifying and demystifying the topic of DILUTION RATIOS. We recommend a 256:1 dilution for Rinseless Wash; 15:1 for All Clean (30:1 on interiors)...you might wonder what those mean. And what happens when you use the products in foam cannons? We recommend a 32:1 dilution for Incredible Suds in the foam cannon, by the way. These topics and more are covered in this episode!

It's a question you might not ask yourself very often, but it's worth exploring: why, exactly, do we detail? Is it in pursuit of perfection? Is the goal to preserve the original finish -- whether it be on the paint, or the interior? Or, is the goal ... profits? Lots of you turn detailing into a business, after all.
