    Make short form videos that show the various levels of dirty vehicles and why you chose a particular set of washes to address them.  It's subjective what dirty means but an expert like you can walk us through what you see in your detailing.  Thanks in advance.

    I don't know man... My Dove Men+Care 3-in-1 does pretty good. Hair, body, and car soap... Can't beat that! 🤣

    Good overview.  Carpro claims that Reset utilizes “intelligent pH Surfactants”.  I have to assume they do a better job than those idiot surfactants that the other guys use!

    Appreciate this video Colton! Im ALWAYS thinking about this dilemma when I step out into my garage, pull my car out, and then look at my shelf of chemicals! I go back and forth on what to use vs the "dirtyness" of the vehicle!

    I really appreciate your opinions and advice, especially on this subject. You are wise beyond your years. Thanks for this and the Colton glass method. I use it on every clients glass and receive many compliments the moment they drive at night because the glare is gone on perfectly clean interior glass.

    Wow thanks for explaining these products and the general overview of different types of shampoos I was very confused when it came to this as a car detailing enthusiast I’ve never understood this but now I do thanks tot his video

    I'm retired. My car does not see rain or any other inclement weather. So I only need PH neutral as almost always the car is just dusty, especially the wheels. I take my car once a year to my detailer and he uses whatever soap the car needs and then boosts the ceramic coat on the ppf and makes the car look great again. As always, I really enjoy your videos Coleton.

    Glad you did this video.  What no OG Garage $137 (shipped w/ tax) Shampoo part of this confusing mess?  LOL.  Matt said he’s got active surfactants imbedded with OG AI technology that use WiFi to only remove certain containments.

    Excellent presentation Coleton.  Reset is one of the best soaps ever created in my opinion.  It's strong enough to remove heavy contamination, but also gentle enough that use on every wash doesn't cause any adverse affects on the paint, trim, or glass.  I do think that doing an alkaline, followed by an acidic, or whatever way you are supposed to use the high and low ph system, followed by a wash with Carpro Reset is a great yearly maintenance type of wash that allows you to decontaminate the paint, even if well maintained.  I think that is a good practice at least once per year.  I still use Carnauba paste wax as my last step protection, maintained with Technicians Choice Ceramic Detail Spray as my maintenance topper and drying aid.  It works great as a topper for the base layer of carnauba paste wax, and it also has great hydrophobics.

    Super well done, Colton!  Thanks so much, I was wondering about this stuff.

    Always very timely! Just planning to do some mineral removal on my vehicles. No major spotting but I am sure there are plenty of minerals always dodging sprinkler mist driving in Florida neighborhoods! Just got two new ones to try: Purifica and KMKZ. Looking forward to comparing! Also happy to send you some OG if you want to try it. Not a revolution or anything in my mind, but I think it performs comparable to Rogue without the absurd viscosity and a bit more mellow scent
