LT Buff is a WooCommerce block theme for shops that sell car detailing products: snow foam and shampoos, clay, compounds and polishes, waxes and ceramic sprays, polishers and microfibre. It opens on a snow-foam video hero with a bold headline on the left, then adds dark three-column product cards with a gloss-level meter, wash / decontaminate / polish / protect steps, snow foam and polishing videos, a kit builder, a microfibre guide and a dilution chart with safety placeholders, all built on WooCommerce's own blocks for the shop, product, cart and checkout pages. Pro Unlimited adds an AI kit so an assistant can rebrand the store and write your product pages without breaking the design.

Store-type notes: Motion product video
- The theme zip ships no video files: the video sections use the theme’s own illustrations as image covers. The demo import turns 5 of them into looping video covers when the demo clips are available; otherwise the illustrations stay.
- To add your own clip, select the Cover block and choose Replace → Upload with an MP4. Keep clips short and small (a few seconds, under about 5 MB), muted, and keep the dark overlay at 60% or more so the text on top stays readable.
- The videos play muted in a loop, pause when they are off screen and for visitors who ask for reduced motion, and have a pause button. Products can have a clip in the Product video box, shown on the product page.
AI kit (Pro Unlimited)
With Pro Unlimited, an AI assistant follows the theme's AGENTS.md rules to rebrand the colours, write product pages with gloss lines and build landing pages from the theme's sections. It keeps prices marked as samples and leaves dilution ratios and safety text as placeholders until you paste them from your labels.

Questions about LT Buff
Can I show my own detailing films?
Yes. Every video section is a Cover block: select it in the editor and replace the illustration with your MP4 and a poster. Each product also has a Product video box for its own clip.
What happens for visitors who prefer less motion?
The videos pause and show their poster when the device asks for reduced motion, pause when they scroll out of view and have a pause button. The text and pictures stay readable without video.
Does the theme include dilution ratios or safety advice?
No. The dilution chart and the product descriptions ship with placeholders, because ratios and safety text differ by product. You copy them from each label and safety data sheet.
How does the gloss meter work?
Give a product a tag named Gloss level 1 to Gloss level 5 and its card shows a five-segment meter under the short description. Products without the tag show no meter.
Can customers build a kit?
The kit builder section lists products in three picks (wash, correct, protect) with links and prices, next to a ready-made kit product. Customers add the products to the cart one by one.
Does it suit other car care shops?
Yes. Any shop that sells care products with a clear order of use, such as wheel and tyre care, interior cleaning or bike care, can rename the steps, picks and chart rows.
