Welcome to another day in the Detail Garage.
Today me and Nick are going to show you the top 5 detailing tricks to washing this big
ass truck.
I want to start with the tips before we begin.
Tip number one: Use a good pressure washer and a really good foam cannon.
Tip number two: You wanna use a...
Tip number two: You'll need a Big Mofo to clean the sides of the truck, this way we
cover a lot of surface area.
Tip number three: Using the Wash Mop, which allows me to get the top of this truck and
prevents cross contamination between sides and top.
If you look really closely you'll see all this dirt and grime from off roading and commuting
to car shows that this truck has done.
We don't want to contaminate the top from the bottom filth.
Tip number four: We're going to use Extreme Body Wash & Wax which is a highly lubricated soap.
Another cool thing about this soap is it actually has wax in it.
If you come close you'll see the soap looks a little funny and that is because there is
a lot of wax in here.
Some people wanted a true wash and wax soap so this is the answer, it also has a really
cool grape scent.
Tip number five: We are going to use After Wash teamed up with a great towel, that will
make sure we dry this truck really fast and reduce water spots.
We'll go straight into the job, I'll get everything set up as you can see our pressure washer
is ready to go.
We have a wheel bucket prepared, we also have two body buckets set up.
One with clear water and the other with soap, I haven't put the soap in it yet but we have
to start by placing the Dirt Traps in.
When you insert the Dirt Trap don't put them in straight down because that will trap the
air bubbles, instead place them in at an angle and press them to the bottom.
These Dirt Traps do fit any twelve in bucket so don't work if you don't have these particular
buckets it will fit but these buckets look a lot cooler.
Now lets prepare our soap bucket, all I need is an ounce of soap in here.
I'll also get the Foam Cannon ready, I've already filled the container to the 900 mark
and I'l fill it with soap until it reads 1000.
When you set up your Foam Cannon don't shake them because then you will get a bunch of
suds inside the bottle, all you need to do is gently tighten the top and stir.
This mixes everything in the bottle which is turning this nice purple color and it is
ready.
So Nick looks a little bored, so lets start by foaming the wheels first and then we can
start scrubbing and then we can move on to the body.
I want to stress that you start with the wheels so you aren't contaminating the freshly washed
paint because then you are working backwards.
While I'm cleaning the wheels I will also tackle the undercarriage.
So if you come closer you can see the undercarriage is really dirty.
I'll make sure to clean it really well because Nick is going to dress this soon.
The wheels are already clean because Nick polished them with a Ball Buster but I want
to make sure these wheels are completely clean.
We'll clean the barrel and spokes for the perfect finish.
So we're go to rinse the wheels, then soap it with Diablo Wheel Gel and then start scrubbing
with the brushes.
After that I'll rinse everything off with and move on to the next wheel.
Lets get started.
Got everything degreased and I through on a layer of foam so we have extra lubrication
as we scrub to prevent scratching.
Everything is degreased with Sticky Wheel Gel and Diablo Gel for the rims.
Now with the Stiffy Blue Brush I'll scrub the tire down to make sure I get all the grime
out of the knobs so when I dress it, it looks beautiful.
The foam really helps to pick up a lot of the dirt and teamed up with an excellent degreaser
it'll make this tire look really clean once it is rinsed off.
I'll now take my second brush which is the Green Flagged Tip Brush and I'll glide over
the face.
I don't really need to scrub because Nick already cleaned it but I want to make sure
I pick up any left over dirt off.
Lastly using the third brush which is my Long Handle Brush, this is going to help me scrub
the undercarriage.
So now that everything is scrubbed down and the foam is still on the surface it is going
to help with the rinse off.
Lets rinse it off and we can see how clean it really is.
Come on baby!
After the rinse off you can see that these plastics look really clean.
The reason you want to get these plastics really clean is because when you dress them
it is going to last a lot longer and the dressing is going to stick a lot longer.
The reason why we want the dressing to stick is because this truck is lifted and you can
see underneath, all the suspension which looks really ugly when that stuff is dirty.
Also dressings help resist a lot of UV rays while repelling stains and your truck looks
really nice.
Now I'm going to move on to the other wheels and then we can start on the body.
We have the bucket activated and now we need to go into the second step which is rinsing
this truck down.
This will loosen any of the dirt that is sitting on top of the surface so when I run this Big
MoFo or Mop across the paint it won't scratch.
It's simple to do, just rinse it and after that I'll go into the foam.
Nick is going to grab the Big MoFo and do the sides while I grab the Mop and knock out
the top.
This prevents cross contamination from taking heavy dirt and grinding it into the paint
on areas we have already cleaned.
So lets get started.
As you guys at home can see we just washing this Tundra.
By using Extreme Body Wash & Wax we took care of the loose grime and debris that was on
the surface while leaving behind a protective layer of wax that added shine and protection.
Then we hit it with the Big MoFo and the Wash Mop to get those hard to reach areas.
Now we're going to finish it off with After Wash, this is a drying aide that takes care
of any water spots on the surface by breaking the surface tension to prevent staining while
leaving behind a freshly waxed look.
So Jeremy lets get to it.
So to conclude our story Nick and I did a few things.
Tip number one we used a good pressure washer and foam cannon.
After that we went into tip number two which is Extreme Body Wash, the right chemical is
important in getting a really good affect.
Tip three we used the Mop and Big MoFo to get the whole body cleaned without adding
scratches or marring into the paint.
Tip four we used After Wash which really helped the water bead and add a freshly waxed look
to this vehicle.
Tip five Nick and I used the Elegant Edgeless Towels to get the entire truck dry.
He is going to take care of the next step and I am going to head home.
Nick thanks for helping me out.
