The Auto Detailing Podcast ·

2025/08/20

Foam cannons are everywhere right now, but here’s the real question: what’s the best soap for a foam cannon? In this episode, I break down: Why gear like pressure washers, orifice size, and foam cannons matter — but only to a point. The truth about cheap vs. quality soaps and how they affect your foam. What actually makes a foam cannon soap “good” (concentration, pH balance, lubricity, versatility). Why I use The Super Soaper as my go-to foam cannon soap for insane foam and a safer wash.

2025/07/23

In this episode I’m breaking down one of the most confusing and overhyped topics in the detailing world right now—Triphene vs Graphene vs Ceramic Coatings. What even is Triphene? Is Graphene really better than ceramic? And do any of these coatings actually do what they say on the label—or are they just buzzwords made to sell you more bottles?

How Detailing Got Overcomplicated

The Auto Detailing Podcast ·

2025/05/21

Detailing used to be simple. Now it feels like a hype-driven, overcomplicated mess. In this episode, I’m breaking down how the industry got here—and how we fix it. Somewhere along the way, car care became more about foam shows and flashy bottles than actual results. New products drop every week, and detailers are told they need 15 different bottles just to wash a car. I’m calling BS on that. Thanks again for all the support and patience — it truly means a lot!

In this quick update, I explain why the release of Picture Perfect Polish is taking longer than expected.

Originally, I estimated a 6–8 week timeline — but due to these delays, it’s now looking like another 6–8 weeks before we can start shipping.
