Why don't I do rinseless washes anymore? After years of being a full-time mobile detailer in Orange County—working in strict coastal cities with heavy water-runoff regulations and during the peak of California's "drought"—I relied on rinseless washes to keep my business alive. I was a full-on mobile rinseless detailer for years. Corporate accounts, weekly clients, everything.

But over time, I realized rinseless washing has major limitations that no one really talks about.

In this video/podcast, I'm breaking down my full experience:

• How strict water regulations pushed me into rinseless in the first place

• Why I switched from waterless → to rinseless → to traditional washing

• The real problems I ran into after YEARS of rinseless washing

• Why customers didn't trust it (and how I lost accounts because of it)

• Why wheels, tires, door jambs, and wheel wells are a nightmare with rinseless

• Why rinseless is way more labor-intensive than people think

• Why it only works well on lightly soiled "garage queen" cars

• Why I eventually moved away from it completely

And most importantly…
How all of this led me to develop the Dry Foam Wash Method—a system that uses significantly less water but way more chemistry to safely break down dirt with less labor, less waste, and fewer limitations.

Rinseless washing still has its place.
Traditional washing still has its place.
Foam cannons still have limitations.
There is no perfect system…

…but there are smarter ways to wash a car depending on your goals.

This episode is all about the reality of rinseless washes—not the marketing hype—and how years of hands-on mobile detailing shaped the way I wash cars today.

There's a lot of talk in the detailing world about SiO2 content in ceramic coatings — but what does that actually mean?

In this episode, Jimbo breaks down the real story behind SiO2 and how it's used (and misunderstood) in the detailing industry. You'll learn what SiO2 really is, why it doesn't behave the way many people think it does in solvent-based coatings, and how marketing language often bends the truth.

This isn't about calling anyone out — it's about helping you see through the noise and ask better questions before buying or selling a product.

Jimbo shares his insider experience working with blenders, chemists, and sales reps, explaining where the disconnect happens and how to tell the difference between marketing buzzwords and real chemistry.

→ What you'll learn in this episode:

• What SiO2 actually is and how it forms during curing

• Why solvent-based coatings can't contain raw SiO2 the way some claim

• How sales and marketing language often twist technical details

• Smart questions to ask your supplier or chemist to get real answers

• Why honesty and transparency always win long term in this industry

In this podcast, we're breaking down one of the most confusing topics in all of car care — the difference between a waterless wash, a rinseless wash, a detail spray, a spray wax, a ceramic detail spray, and a true ceramic spray coating.

There are so many products that seem to do the same thing, but each one actually serves a very different purpose — and if you don't understand those differences, you'll waste time, money, and effort without getting the results you want.

I'll explain each one in simple, easy-to-understand terms — when to use them, what they actually do, and how to know which one is best for your situation. I'll also share the truth about why so many new products exist in the first place, and how companies made things confusing instead of just fixing the real problem: making ceramic sprays easier to use.

By the end, you'll understand exactly what each product does, how they fit together, and why I created Tough As Shell — a ceramic spray that applies as easily as a detail spray but gives you the long-lasting protection of a true ceramic coating.

Can you actually polish a ceramic coated car, or does that completely remove the coating? In this episode, I break down the truth about polishing coated paint and why any abrasion — no matter how light — can affect or remove your ceramic coating, regardless of brand.

I'll also explain how this challenge led me to develop Picture Perfect Polish, a polish that finishes clean enough to apply a ceramic coating right over it without waiting hours or doing extra prep. That means if you ever need to correct a coated panel, fix a scratch, or spot-polish your paint, you can handle it fast and recoat immediately with The Gloss Boss or Tough As Shell.

By the end, you'll know exactly how to safely polish, correct, and re-coat your ceramic coated vehicle without turning it into a weekend-long project.
