- Hey, what's up, guys?
Welcome back to the Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Today, we have this Tesla.
It's matte. It's neglected.
And honestly,
I do not know when it was probably detailed or washed.
I mean, there's bird droppings,
dust, debris,
and on the hood of the vehicle,
it actually has a big heart.
If you guys come close,
the vehicle's already dirty,
and someone drew a heart on the matte wrap.
So keep in mind,
anything will scratch matte surfaces.
This is why we recommend washing it
with something that is very sudsy,
very lubricated.
So this is why we're going to be treating it today
with our two bucket wash,
and our TORQ Foam Cannon.
Let's get started.
I already have my two bucket setup with water,
but on top, I have my Meticulous Matte Auto Wash,
and my Meticulous Matte Spray Sealant.
You might say, "Why do I have the scene already?"
So the scene is going to help me dry the vehicle
and add protection.
Meticulous Matte Spray Sealant has a sealant
that is going to protect it
from the harmful UV rays,
as well as removing fingerprints,
and giving it a healthy look that it actually wants.
So I'll be putting this under my cart,
but now it is time to set up my TORQ Foam Cannon
with Meticulous Matte.
So the Foam Cannon is already measured to the 900 mark
on the metering tips.
This metering is going to allow me to only apply one ounce.
So I'll twist the TORQ Foam Cannon head off.
I'll put it to the side.
And now I'll get Meticulous Matte,
and I'll fill it up to the 1000 mark.
Just like so.
Now that it's at the 1000 mark,
I'll put my soap to the side,
I'll grab my TORQ Foam Cannon head,
and reattach it to the top.
Keep in mind the TORQ Foam Cannon
has a plastic seal that will not allow stripping
to your bottle.
So as soon as it tights, you're good to go.
And now it is time to insert our dirt traps.
Do you know what a dirt trap is?
A dirt trap is a filtration system
that has over 300 cones on the back of it,
that's going to filter dirt, grime,
debris,
allow it to sit at the bottom of the bucket,
and not allow it to rise back up.
So to insert 'em,
insert 'em at an angle to avoid air pockets
and cause a seal at the bottom.
And on this side, I'll be using my blue dirt trap.
Why do I have two different colored dirt traps?
The reason why I have two different kinds of dirt traps
is because I want a bucket for my rinse bucket
and a bucket for my soapy bucket.
Like this I do not cross contaminate,
or you want to be like me,
you want less headaches,
use a clear bucket for your rinsing bucket,
and use a non-clear bucket for a soapy bucket.
See? Work smart, not hard.
So now I inserted my dirt traps.
They're good to go.
It is time to foam up the vehicle.
So let me just fix my soap.
Let me add one to two ounces into my soapy bucket.
Two good squirts is all I need.
Now it is time to rinse down the loose grime and debris
that's sitting on this Tesla,
and then we'll foam up
using a TORQ Professional Max Foam 8,
and Meticulous Matte.
Let's get started.
So I just finished foaming up the Model X.
And you guys can see
the amazing suds Meticulous Matte produced.
But now it is time to scrub it,
because the matte wrap on this vehicle is very sensitive.
Keep in mind,
a person thought it was funny to go out there
and write a heart,
and some other words on its hood,
and scratched forever.
So we are doing our best to avoid scratches and swirls,
because it is a matte wrap
and matte wraps are very hard to take care of,
or just take the proper steps,
and maintain 'em the proper way
with Meticulous Matte Auto Wash.
And after that, add some type of protection
with Meticulous Matte Sealant.
So I'll put my wash mitt into my soap bucket,
and I'll go to the highest point of the vehicle.
And you go in linear motions.
Why do you want to go in linear motions?
We recommend going linear motions,
because you do not want to install scratches or swirls,
because keep in mind, your vehicle is dirty,
it might have harmful elements on it.
And if the harmful elements are abrasive
they'll scratch your vehicle,
and after the wash,
you'll be upset with yourself saying,
"Why did I get scratches and swirls?"
Because the wash mitt you are using,
like the Chenille Wash Mitt,
encapsulates all dirt and grime
in the noodle-like textures,
which can be abrasive.
This is why I recommend coming back
to your soapy bucket to release the abrasive particles,
and filter with a dirt trap.
Look at the bottom right here.
I'm scrubbing at the bottom,
the dirt trap moves,
and it's pulling out all the dirt
and grime to the bottom part,
so I won't be having dirty water up top.
If I pull it back out, it's now clean.
I'll put my wash mitt on the side,
and just wring it out,
and I'll inspect,
and I'll keep going.
It's now clean.
Repeat the same exact step around the whole entire vehicle.
And this is how you get a scratch-free wash
on a matte wrap vehicle,
or you could also use these same techniques
on a painted vehicle.
Once you come over here,
and I'm going to break the detailing rules.
We all recommend starting from the top to bottom,
but I just wanted to give you guys a perfect example.
I'll flip over to a clean side.
Whenever you get to the bottom portion of your vehicle,
it's the most dirty part,
because dirt, grime, debris kicks up.
So I'm just going to give it one pass.
Check that out.
All that is dirt and grime.
This is why I recommend starting from the top, bottom,
because the dirtiest part of the vehicle
is going to be at the bottom part.
And you do not want to be working double.
If I started going to the top,
all the dirt and grime is going to be released
from up there, come down here,
I have to work twice.
So guys enjoy this time lapse of me washing this Model X
and bring it back to its life.
It's not going to be shiny,
because it's matte.
Keep that in mind,
but let's get to it.
I just finished rinsing down the Tesla Model X,
and all the dirt, grime, debris came off,
but now I need to dry,
especially 'cause I am in the sunlight,
and I need to avoid water spots.
So I'm using Meticulous Matte Spray Sealant.
Meticulous Matte Spray Sealant has a synthetic sealant
that's going to protect it from the harmful UV rays.
Just give it a couple of squirts.
And you guys you guys can see that the water tension
is no longer there.
It is no longer just beading up.
It's now dragging.
I'll throw my Wooly Mammoth.
The reason why I went with the Wooly Mammoth,
one, this vehicle is huge,
two, it's super soft, super plush,
and three, it's a gigantic towel
that absorbs up to one gallon of water.
So just spray,
and you wipe,
flip it over,
pass it over,
and now it is dry.
So guys, you guys saw the drying process.
I'm going to continue on the whole entire vehicle,
but guys, if you guys see any vehicles out there
on the road, parked,
wherever you may see 'em,
and they're super dirty,
do not write on them,
because they potentially can be scratched forever,
especially on this expensive Tesla.
But guys, if you guys liked the video,
don't forget to give it a huge thumbs up
for me, for you,
for being the best family on YouTube.
And we'll see you guys next time
right here at the Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
