 Hey everybody Michael Stoops here again in the McGuire's training garage To bring you another episode of shop talk, and I've got a very special guest with me today Blake Beamish. Hello. Welcome Thanks for joining us. Thank you Blake is one of our product developers And in fact he was the lead of the development team for the product that we're going to talk about today And that is the hybrid ceramic wash and wax Yes Hybrid ceramic wash and wax let's be really clear on that because I know when this product was being developed and as we've launched it several of us here at McGuire's had a chance to play with this and kind of get to know it a little bit and In conjunction with this the the wash mitt that we have with this This is kind of the closest thing that we have now to a magic trick I Think it's really cool stuff. Okay, so kudos to you guys, but I know everybody out here is thinking Ceramic wash and wax. What are you out of your mind? Come on? What can it possibly do? I'm telling you it can do It's crazy what it does But I want you Blake to explain a little you're probably not going to tell us exactly how it does No, it's proprietary information and all that kind of stuff But what was the thought behind this why a ceramic wash and wax and what does it actually do for? Yeah, so with the launch of the hybrid ceramic wax We knew that a great product to coincide with that would be a wash But how do you get that hybrid ceramic technology that hybrid ceramic water beating protection in a wash? That's the water beating That's right that you've come to just really love and appreciate that that incredible water beating with the super high contact angles when you're Using the hybrid ceramic spray wax the hydrogen liquid wax the detailer you get that crazy water beating And you don't really want to put something on top of that that may mask or kind of knock that down And you won't remove the protection, but you'll mask the beating exactly so your Plan here was a wash that would help to make a compliment. Yes to compliment the product to keep that water beating Going at its highest contact angle, but also if you haven't used our hybrid ceramic products It's gonna lay down that hybrid ceramic foundation for the other products to then have something to bond to And just continue to work even better and better. Okay, so that Blake's talking about Using a wash mm-hmm to lay down some of that hybrid ceramic Foundation, yes, you that water beating and if you think that sounds a little Okay, sure Think about the hybrid ceramic spray wax you literally spray onto a wet surface and then pretty vigorously rinse I mean you can use a pressure washer even mm-hmm and all of a sudden your water beating just goes through the roof And when that first came out there were people thinking wait I'm gonna spray this on my car and then pressure wash it off. I just pressure wash it off What's it gonna do for me? And then there's that crazy water beating so Some of that kind of concept or idea actually works with this exactly so with with the hybrid ceramic wax and Asking you the consumer to use it in a different way than normal that you spray it on And then to rinse it off as you wax we knew that we could kind of push what we could do We what we could ask you to do with a wash and as you can see with this packaging It does have two separate liquids, so we knew that we could ask the consumer. Hey, this is gonna be a little bit different We're gonna make this as easy for you as possible However, the water beating that you're gonna get it it is that hybrid ceramic promise of intense water beating action so Two different components in the wash. Yes. Why can't you just mix them in together and just let these fine folks Just pour it into the bucket and go It doesn't work like that the the two products They don't want to mix in the bottle together. However, once you mix them in the bucket They work in tandem together to give you this incredible washing and waxing experience And this experience of Blake is talking about it. I have to tell you we're using The mitt that's really designed to go with this. Let's let's Hold off on that for just a second. Yes We're getting into you know what? Technology advances technology changes all the time Which is why we could do something like the hybrid ceramic spray wax that you can pressure wash off without actually pressure washing it off Right. I mean ceramic coatings themselves technology is advancing pretty rapidly here and what we'll get into the mitt because this is really a big part of the Magic trick that we're talking about but the shampoo and the SIO to booster can we call it SIO to boost? Yes. I owe to boost. Okay Okay So Blake a bit of a unique experience when it comes to to washing and I think you'll find that more as you're actually using it But let's talk a little bit here about how we dispense this into the bucket. Okay, so we're talking about Really what we want you to have is a bucket that'll hold three gallons of water. Okay, so three five gallon bucket, whatever And for three gallons of water. Yes, you want three ounces of the shampoo the wash Yes, and then a half an ounce of the SIO to boost correct and when you do that To three gallons of water and you use three ounces of the wash and a half an ounce of the SIO to boost You'll run out of both at the same exactly. Okay, not only that but you also get optimum performance Yes out of the package now We've got this mixed up in the bucket and now we're recommending the use of the hybrid wash. Yes What what is this hybrid wash? Yeah hybrid everything now even a wash. Yes going on that so The the chemist that was working on this product. He came to us with this dual-sided wash mitt and With it you as soon as you use it it feels like a magic trick is the best way I can describe it. Yes Yes, this this is this is this is where The user experience really changes from any other wash you've ever used with this And it's also where like you just said the magic kind of yeah comes into play because this this is pretty tricky So one side of the wash mitt is designed to hold on to the soapy suds of the wash That's this and it yes the orange side was the orange side color-coded it to make it as simple as possible It feels like a normal wash as you you go through holds on to the suds nice and smooth Then once you flip it over to the waxing side the gray side. There's a little magic It becomes a completely different experience the the asset grabs on to the si o2 boost and it just lays it on This is truly. This is where the magic kind of thing comes into play because you know, we've talked for years about how microfiber Not all microfibers create an equal people ask us all the time You know are all microfiber towels the same and absolutely not nothing in life is all the same Right. So we talk about how microfiber is a it's an engineered fiber. We make the fiber the way we want it to be And when we do that We can create all kinds of different characteristics with that and for anybody who's ever doubted that This this is so bizarre that when you're washing with the wash side like you said Blake It feels like you're washing your car when you flip over to this side You have not gone back to the bucket or anything You just flip over to this side and continue wiping on the paint if you've got a dark car You may even see yes To where it looks like you're laying down wax through water which kind of in a weird way is what you're doing Yes, except it's not actually wax. It's this si o2 boost. Yes, it is the paint protection So the term wax kind of gets used But you will literally see and feel a difference from one side to the other and don't don't let it Spook your freak you out if you see a little bit of streaking because when you do then rinse the car like you do when you're washing it It rinses away. It is really a Surprising and it's kind of fun. I mean you probably spend more time washing your car than you need to exactly Just because you almost can't wrap your head around the fact that it does change Yes, noticeably going from one side of the minute Yes, and that is because of the technology of microfiber that we've been talking about for years This is kind of proof in the wash. Yes, so it's a really really cool This this two-part hybrid it's it's it's it's really and for anybody that thought Ceramic and a wash you've got to be crazy. Mm-hmm, and I know a lot of you did a lot of us did You pulled it off. Yes. This is really cool. Thank you But let's talk about because we know you guys like to experiment Okay, and sometimes as we're developing product right here, I like to try to break stuff Yep, and I tried to break this. Yep, and what I did was did I coined the term over boost? Yes Yes, he did. Well, I tried to over boost it like like more more pressure with the turbo Don't do that for a couple of reasons One if you're using more boost if you don't follow that you're gonna run out of boost before you run out of Exactly, and we don't sell the boost. Correct Secondly you will find if you really overload with the boost You'll start to get this hydrophobic effect on your hands and It just gets heavier. It's just don't do it. Okay, a lot of times we tell people look if you want to experiment That's fine. You're probably not gonna hurt anything Well, you're not going to hurt anything other than there were not a boost before you're correct So if you're one of those people that likes to experiment with our products, we're gonna ask you this time Don't just really don't we've already done it for you and What we can tell you is your waste product. Yes, you will not run out at the same time. Correct Your experience with it won't be as positive and you will gain literally nothing correct. Yes all downside If you try to over boost. Yes. Okay. Yes So the actual act then of washing the car kind of like the rest of our shampoos pretty pretty normal Yes, and and with that we knew that we were asking asking you to to do a little something different with the application with the two separate liquids So we wanted to make it as simple as possible That's why we have the measuring cup with the lines on there to help you Fill up the bucket and get the right dilution ratio and then once you start using the product It's a simple bucket wash. It's like any other other than flipping the mitt. Yes You want cool surface in the shade all the same kind of things that we've always told you It's just that initially wash with the wash side on it flip over wax and then rinse it Work around the car dry it off and enjoy it. Okay, so Blake. We've talked a lot about this this hybrid wash mitt Is it really necessary to use this? It's not absolutely necessary You can use whichever microfiber wash mitt you enjoy using now This one will give you the best user experience and the fact that you do get that washing flip waxing experience with it because you guys actually Went with chose engineered. I don't know how deep in the development. He's probably not even gonna bother telling us, but It is very specific to the wash side and the way this side de-haves with the SiO to yes So any other microfiber that may be on the market? We don't know what that composition is and exactly how it's gonna perform with this and we we tested a lot of different microfiber wash mitts They all perform very well. They all did the washing and the waxing This is just gonna give you the maximum performance out of this two liquid system. Okay, great The water beading that you're gonna see how long Can someone expect that that beating to remain or yes, or should you even be expecting that to be your your? Metric for gauging how long your beating there shouldn't that be from your primary protection exactly So while this is it is able to give you wax protection Mm-hmm, and it's fairly durable wax protection, but it doesn't substitute for a proper full exactly It does not substitute a dedicated wax or a hybrid ceramic wax or yes But it is a great product to boost or enhance the wax that's on there Also, if your car is completely flat you will get instant water beating protection on the surface And then that's laying down a really nice foundation to then put your hybrid ceramic spray wax on Without having to do the foundational layer application that we recommend pretty fantastic, too Yes, that's that's cool. I like that and because of the high contact angles of the beads This is a great maintenance product for any coating. Yes, maybe on the market already applied to your vehicle, right? awesome Where can they get this? You can find this at your favorite auto parts store and from comms So all the places if you've been shopping for it online You're probably gonna find it. Yes place online as well. Okay Blake look man. Thank you so much for first of all working with the team to come up with something that I know a lot of people out There probably thought could never actually happen, but I'm telling you this is this really is that magic trick That that I've been telling people for years. Nothing in our bottles is magic I mean I have to check it's not actually magic. It's it's science. Yes. It is science. Absolutely science Thank you for for the product and for hanging out with me a little bit here Of course and thank you for joining us for another episode of shop talk We're gonna be back again sometime in the not too distant future But between now and then when you've gone out and you've picked up a bottle of your hybrid ceramic wash and wax If you have any questions get a hold of our solutions hub phone numbers on the back of the bottle You can check us on Instagram on Facebook on our form at McGuire's online calm Of course on YouTube where you're probably watching this right now We're here to help as always.
