Detailing with Mothers’ California Gold Ceramic Line products – Part 1!

By Kamil Kaluski Sep 2, 2025

Keeping my cars clean was always a challenge for me. I just don’t have the patience or the time to spend half my weekend buffing a car. I always found mechanical improvements more rewarding. Over the years I mostly just run my cars through touchless or hand car washes. Once a year I have them professionally detailed. That’s it.

When Mothers contacted us about their new line of ceramic products, incidentally called Mothers’ California Gold Ceramic Line, I asked if they can send me some. And since they did, I decided to challenge myself to properly clean my cars. This is part one in a series of videos on how I used Mothers’ new line of products on my cars, the process of it, the results, and how they worked.

This is Part 1. There rest will be up soon and linked back to here.

  • Part 1 – Here I use the products on my 23 year old, 200,000+ mile Lexus GX. Unfortunately the part is cut short by rain.
  • Part 2 – I will finish the Lexus and begin a relatively new Toyota Camry to show the differences between using these products on a weathered car vs. a nearly new one.
  • Part 3 – I will use the product on my three year old Ford Bronco. Stay tuned.
  • Part 4 – Because I didn’t finish the whole Bronco in part 3.

Spoiler: these products worked better than I expected.
