nice work for sure.
I have a couple of questions:

what about the "auto scrub"? how is the procedure? Is it used to wash the car or only apply wax? Because I see waterdrops on and I know you can't wax a car completely dried... I forgot to mention that I'm not an expert of detailing..

Did you wash the car only with foam without using sponge cloth?

thanks

Phil,

These two bullet points are the key to using the NanoSkin Autoscrub:
4. Polish the surface with dual action orbital polisher using light pressure (Low Speed).
5. Wipe off residue and apply wax or glaze.

Do you offer a kit with the polisher?

sure thing

so it's a mist with Glide product

I still not understood if you wash the car with a sponge cloth or with something else... I wait for your clarification

[DetailersDomain]

sure thing.

you want to wash your car like normal, dry it, then use the autoscrub just like a clay bar.

does that make more sense?

I wanted to know if you wash the car only using high pressure water and (special) foam, avoiding the sponge cloth. I know there are such system "touchless" like this one

[DetailersDomain]

nope not like the video.

you want to wash the car like normal using a wash mitt.

no no , I like to wash manually! the video was only an exemple

[DetailersDomain]

yes we foam the car first then rinse then foam again and wash like normal with a wash mitt.

this ensures we remove some of the dirt and grime before we put the wash mitt on the car.
