Description
Welcome to the Pints and Polishing Podcast, hosted by Nick. Join us as we dive into the world of auto detailing, ceramic coatings, and the challenges faced by the industry. In this episode, Nick shares an interesting encounter with a 2023 Range Rover that was supposed to have a ceramic coating but didn't seem to have any protection at all. Despite the shop claiming to have applied a coating, there was no water behavior or gloss on the vehicle.
Nick takes us through the process of investigating the issue, performing a decontamination wash with hyperCLEAN Cleanse and checking for iron contamination with Fuego. Unfortunately, the coating was nowhere to be found. This raises concerns about the increasing number of coating failures in recent years.
He emphasizes the importance of choosing reputable ceramic coating companies and making informed decisions when it comes to protecting a car's paintwork. Nick stresses that focusing on paint correction skills alone won't solve the problem; vetting the chemistry and coating product is equally crucial.
The episode touches on the issue of certain companies claiming to represent the industry but failing to live up to their claims. Nick advises not to get overly involved in such matters but rather concentrate on delivering high-quality work and products to customers.
Ultimately, the key message is to prioritize customer satisfaction and choose coatings that are tried, tested, and proven to last. By doing so, detailers can establish a trustworthy reputation and maintain loyal customers, regardless of any industry hype or claims. Tune in for valuable insights and a candid discussion about the detailing industry's current challenges.
