The first product use example is not inherently an off-label use of the product.\u00a0 I am actually defining an undervalued role it is ideally suited for.<\/p>\n

\"Ecoclean<\/p>\n

This is a good product to spray on your car and a microfiber towel when you are drying your ceramic coated car.<\/p>\n

Water spots are still an issue to many people who are new maintaining their car with a ceramic coating.\u00a0 Although I do believe the issues (or complaints) of water spotting with coated cars is somewhat misleading.\u00a0 There is some truth that the makeup of a coated car, in part being extremely hydrophobic, leads to a higher concentration of mineral deposits.\u00a0 What I find to be THE REAL ISSUE is the consumer who is not knowledgeable or as enthused about cleaning the car coupled with a car that often looks better from the start than what he or she is accustomed to.\u00a0 To elaborate people who are new to ceramic coatings are often new to paint correction, meaning this may be the best their paint ever looked.\u00a0 Consequentially new defects or WATER SPOTS on polished paint will stick out like a ‘sore thumb’.\u00a0 You have a significant number of people misinformed and\/or ill-prepared to keep a car in good.\u00a0 Due to the way these services are often marketed, they interpret less maintenance as minimal maintenance.\u00a0 Then you factor in probably paying the most or putting in the most work they ever have done for a detail.\u00a0 You have a recipe for disappointment due to unrealistic expectations.<\/p>\n

\"water<\/p>\n

It does not help that many people do not understand how to remove them, or not all are the same.\u00a0 Being more knowledgeable about detailing issues, I would much rather deal with water spots on my coated car for two reasons.<\/p>\n

\"Nissan<\/p>\n

Coated cars buy you more time.\u00a0 Also, the use of specialty cleaners does not significantly strip protection.\u00a0 Most people do not realize there are grades of water spots.\u00a0 Often if addressed early enough, the water spots on coated cars are still just topical.<\/p>\n

\"JenKO<\/p>\n

I found this to be a great combination.\u00a0 Gyeon Bathe<\/a> and JenKO<\/a> when I am drying the car.\u00a0 JenKO is a quick detailer \/waterless wash that doubles as a light acidic (for water spots) cleaner.\u00a0 With coated cars even if you have gone longer without washing with mineral deposit buildup, monthly washing with this routine will usually keep your car looking pristine.<\/p>\n

\"detailed<\/p>\n

The Gyeon Vinyl Cleaner<\/a> is another item, which is also nice to have for a quick engine detail.<\/p>\n

\"Vinyl<\/p>\n

Formulated for and very good at cleaning interior plastics.\u00a0 For the same reason, it is also a good reliable product for engine bay touch ups.\u00a0 Although engine bays have become safer for cleaning, they are not bullet proof and some people are uncomfortable using a hose.\u00a0 I still use a waterless or rinseless wash approach a majority of the time.\u00a0 Having this on hand comes is a convenient option, especially when the goal is to make the engine bay in addition to the interior respectable for a trip to the mechanic shop.<\/p>\n

\"Gyeon<\/p>\n

\"engine<\/p>\n

Mike Phillips mentioned earlier in my car ownership that a clean engine bay is a sign that you take care of your car and an unconscious message to the staff to be more CAREFUL around your car.\u00a0 This is advice I have always taken to heart.\u00a0 It is also advice I share with my clients and friends who care about their cars.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

I am bringing a rinseless wash solution to a traditional wash process.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

I like to pour DIY Rinseless<\/a> (1 to 2 ounces) specifically in a rinse bucket to help clean wash mitt.\u00a0 I can see evidence of it aiding in taking grit away from the wash mitt in the rinse bucket.\u00a0 Over time I have noticed certain rinseless washes have a positive (cleansing) effect on wash mitt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
