In this conversation, Nick and Marshall discuss the importance of not overcomplicating the ceramic coating process and avoiding unnecessary speculation.

They also touch on the cure time and water behavior of ceramic coatings, as well as their suitability for different surfaces. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the dangers of overthinking and the value of problem-solving in running a successful detailing business. Takeaways Coating windshields is important for visibility and hydrophobicity, and it is recommended to coat all windows, not just the windshield. Dealing with mold in cars can be challenging and may require professional mold remediation services. The design of windshield washer fluid systems can vary, and some systems may not effectively distribute the fluid onto the windshield. Infinite Shine is a versatile product that can be used for tire shine and other applications, providing a matte finish and nourishment to surfaces. Partial hood PPF installations may result in visible lines and dirt staining, while full hood installations can provide better protection and a seamless appearance. Avoid overcomplicating the ceramic coating process and stick to the intended use of the product. Clear communication and accurate information are crucial when discussing coating options with customers. Ceramic coatings cure quicker than people think, especially in hot temperatures. Ceramic coatings can be applied to various surfaces, but their durability may vary. Overthinking can lead to unnecessary complications and mistakes in the detailing business. Problem-solving is essential for running a successful detailing business.
