Why Simple Detailing Products Feel So Confusing
About this episode
This episode discusses the confusion surrounding simple detailing products and the need for clearer instructions from manufacturers.
The detailing industry has a directions problem. A lot of products are not actually that hard to use, but the directions, product names, dilution ratios, and marketing make them way more confusing than they need to be. In this episode, I talk about why simple products like spray waxes, ceramic sprays, drying aids, rinse-off protection products, coatings, and polishes can become confusing for the average customer. If a product is supposed to be quick and easy, learning how to use it should also be quick and easy. I also talk about why vague instructions lead to inconsistent results, why calling the manufacturer is not a real solution for most customers, and why brands need to do a better job explaining exactly when, where, and how their products should be used. Because most customers are not asking for more buzzwords. They're asking: Can I use this in the sun? Can I use it every wash? Do I spray it on wet or dry? Do I rinse it off or wipe it off? Can I use it before a coating? Will I overload the paint? What dilution should I actually use? Detailing does not need to be as confusing as the industry has made it.
