- Hey, what's up guys.
Welcome back to the Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Today, we have this 2009 370 Nismo in the shop
and we are going to be going over
how to properly clean your fender wells
and how to properly protect it.
Let's get to it!
So a lot of people forget to clean up and protect the fender
wells when it comes to detailing. Why?
Because a lot of people say, I can't really notice them.
My car is too low. I can't fit my hand in there,
but there's different ways you could attack it.
One way, jack up the car, take off the wheel.
But if you do have a lifted truck, lifted car or the car is
not as low, like this 370Z,
just simply turn the steering wheel one way,
then turn it the opposite way.
Get your hand in there
and then it'll be completely restored.
So today I'll be using All Clean all purpose cleaner.
All Clean all purpose cleaner is, like I said,
it's all purpose cleaner.
You could use it virtually anywhere:
interior, exterior, under carriage, engine bay.
This is just going to be a cleaner.
So whenever you spray it down onto your under carriage,
you're actually going to be removing all the old dressings,
gunk, whatever this 370Z's been through.
So, I'm going to show you guys a quick 50/50.
I'm going to get my tape
and now I'll go to the area I'll be working on.
To begin the process of cleaning the undercarriage,
I'll get my All Clean.
All Clean, like I said, it's just going to be a cleaner.
It is a citrus-based product.
So all you do is spray it on there.
I like to let it sit for like 15 seconds to 20 seconds,
just so it could actually agitate the grime and
the chemical is doing the most of the work
because less elbow grease is better for you, better for me.
But, today I will be using the GOAT: boars hair brush.
If you are working on the bigger fender well,
you can use the green flagged tip brush,
but just for demonstration purposes,
I'm going with a smaller brush.
I could just stay in control.
So I'll spray my brush as well,
and then you'll go to the area and you'll just start
scrubbing it.
We stressed it a lot for you to clean up your trim pieces
before applying to the dressing,
because then that is going to allow the dressing to bond
properly to the surface and it's actually going to last,
as long as it's supposed to.
For example, this top part is neglected.
There's some people that just get Bare Bones,
spray it on there and over time,
they'll say it did not last as long.
But you need to keep in mind,
do the proper prep and the dressing will last properly.
So now that I have just finished scrubbing down All Clean,
I'll get my clean microfiber towel,
but this microfiber towel has a tag on it and we recommend
removing it because you want to reduce the chances of
scratching the surface of either the plastic or the paint.
So all you need to do, put your little finger through here
and you pull,
put the tag aside and I'll get my green microfiber towel,
and just buff off any residue.
And just so I can neutralize the chemical, I'll spray water
on it, but you guys can see how much grime came off of that
undercarriage.
So in my secondary sprayer bottle,
I have water and this is just going to help me neutralize
the area just so I can make sure I get All Clean
completely off and there's no runoff
or won't intervene with my Bare Bones dressing.
So now I just finished cleanup up the under carriage or the
fender well.
I let it flash.
I let it dry up just to show you guys the before,
the medium and the after effect.
So right now we're in the medium stage.
So if I rub my fingers on it, it's clean.
There's no grime coming off of it.
And this is how it looks after it is dry.
But to my eyes, it still looks neglected.
It still looks dull.
So to enhance the shine and reach that ultra black depth
look, I'm going to be using Bare Bones.
So Bare Bones is an oil-based dressing that can be used on
under carriage.
The reason why I like using Bare Bones is because
it's oil based.
If I run over a splatter of water and it runs onto my fender
wells or my under carriage, it's not going to be running off
because oil and water does not mix.
And now there's different ways you could apply Bare Bones.
Bare Bones you could simply just spray it on there.
But since I am working in a controlled area,
I'll be using a microfiber applicator.
It's just cleaner, you don't have runoff
and you get to control exactly where the product goes.
But if you do just spray it on there,
just wipe off any residue.
So I'll spray it onto my microfiber towel,
1, 2, two sprays, and now I'll go to the area
I'm going to be applying it to and just massage it
back and forth.
And this is going to make sure the under carriage or the
fender well stays black for much longer.
And for like the hard to reach areas, like I was saying,
like down here, you can just get your Bare Bones,
spray it right there and you're good to go.
Once it's already applied,
you'll get a clean microfiber towel just to wipe off any
residue that's on the surface and wow,
that is a big before and after.
So as you guys can see down here, it's clean,
it's protected, it looks black, just how I wanted it.
It doesn't deceive the look of the vehicle
compared to up here.
It's dull, it's grayish
and it makes the look of the vehicle not pop.
So whenever you're driving down the freeway and you see
this, it looks amazing.
Compared to this? No.
