The detailing world is full of hype, myths, and straight-up lies. Today, I'm exposing 4 of the biggest ones that brands and influencers don't want you to know.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why big brands don't always mean better chemistry (and what they're really spending money on).
How the industry uses extra steps and "systems" to sell more products instead of getting you better results.
The truth behind "5–10 year protection" claims (and why most sprays don't even last 5 weeks).
Why chasing perfection in detailing is a waste of time for most daily drivers — and what you should focus on instead.

These are the insider truths I've learned after 16+ years in detailing and developing my own chemist-backed line of products. If you're tired of wasting time and money on hype, this episode is for you.
