Triphene vs Graphene vs Ceramic Coatings – What’s Real and What’s Hype?
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? I’ve tested it all—from pro-grade ceramics to “next-gen” graphene sprays—and in this episode, I’ll walk you through: What each of these technologies really is (without the hype) How ceramic coatings like SiO2 actually work Whether graphene adds any real benefit or is just marketing What Triphene might be (and what it probably isn’t) What actually matters when choosing a coating for your vehicle I’ll also share the behind-the-scenes story of how I developed Tough As Shell and Gloss Boss—my two go-to coatings built for real-world results, not buzzwords. If you’ve ever been confused about which coating is best—or just want a no-BS take on what’s legit—this episode is for you.

Polish vs Compound – What I’ve Learned Developing My Own Formula
Ever wondered what really makes a polish different from a compound? In this episode, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned while developing my own one-step polish, including the surprising stuff most people never hear about.

What’s the Difference Between a One-Step Polish and an All-in-One Polish?
What’s the Difference Between a One-Step Polish and an All-in-One Polish? Confused about whether to use a one-step polish or an all-in-one (AIO) product? In this episode, I break down the real difference between these two polishing types and when you should use each. Whether you're a DIYer or a pro detailer, understanding this difference can save you time, deliver better results, and make your polishing process more efficient. I’ll walk through what a one-step polish really is, how pad choice affects results, and why AIOs can work—but don’t always deliver the same long-term performance.

This Isn't Just Another Polish - It’s What Other Brands Wish They Had
Picture Perfect Polish Is Finally Here – And It Was Worth the Wait After 5 months of development, testing, and refining, Picture Perfect Polish is now in stock and shipping. In this episode, I’m walking you through why it took so long to create, what makes it different from other one-step polishes, and why that delay is actually a good thing when it comes to quality. This isn’t a private label rebrand. It’s a formula built from the ground up—developed alongside a chemist, tested on real-world paint with real tools, and made using high-quality raw materials. I waited through delays because I refused to cut corners. The result is a polish that cuts like a compound, finishes like a polish, doesn’t dust, and gives you a flawless result every time.
