Phil & Crew...look'in beautiful.

question: for the engine clean you folks show steam cleaning...however under the Products used for Engine: Engine Detail Kit is shown
Are you folks able to elaborate the Engine cleaning process (P21s / amount of water and/or other tips) for us newbies?

Nice job! I think seeing the final results is such a satisfying feeling!
I have a question for you. My car is white and i would like to get the deep high gloss/wet look. Is this possible for me to do it by hand, or would u recommend a buffer?

I would say pick up an orbital polisher like the PC and some good polishes you will bring the paint back up so it pops.

this would be a good kit to pick up .

Phil , can you explain the process of "sealing" the glass after its cleaned & clayed ? TIA

detailersdomain

take a look here at the process.

Adam's Glass Cleaner/Glass Sealant.


The glass sealant will provide better clarity while driving in the rain.
