- Hey, what's up guys
and welcome back to Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
On today's video, we have a brand new product
is definitely going to come out handy
in your Chemical Guys arsenal.
So stay tuned, I'm going to show you guys what it is
and how to use it.
So first things first, before we get started,
I'm going to need a hand.
There you go.
So we have our brand new Stranger Microfiber Wash Mitt
now this right here it's great
because you can literally fit it in your hand
and use it to wash your car or clean your wheels.
You can use this for a variety of things and it's nice,
it's soft, it's super-plush, microfiber of course,
and it's dual-sided so what's there not to love.
This wash mitt is going to be amazing.
It definitely works out great for getting
into those hard-to-reach areas
and getting those areas where you just need a hand.
All right, so from there let's get into this wash.
Now right here behind me I have this Honda Pilot,
it's a newer car,
and today we're going to show you guys
how to do a light maintenance wash.
So we're not going to be doing the full nine yard
we're just going to do a nice maintenance wash.
Most of you guys ended up washing your car on a weekly basis
or biweekly basis,
so today I want to show you guys
just a quick little kind of touch up
a quick little way to wash your car very quickly,
effectively, easily, and get the job done right.
So today right here in front of me
we have our two bucket methods set up
with our nice cool clear buckets as well
so that we can see all that dirt and grime.
My two dirt traps right here one for my rinse bucket
and one for my soap bucket, and I'm going to be using
our Blacklight Hybrid Radiant Soap.
So now I'm using this soap
because this is going to form up great with our foam cannon
and it's going to do an amazing job
at enhancing the beautiful lustrous black paint
that this Honda Pilot has.
So what that further do, I'm going to go to set this down
I don't need a hand right now
so I'm going to set that down and I'm going to set up my two
dirt traps into my buckets.
Now when I set these dirt traps into my buckets
I'm going to set them down at an angle
and then set them down flat
and then they lock right into place.
And just like that, your two bucket method is set up.
Like I mentioned,
we have our soap bucket and we have our rinse bucket.
Soap buckets is going to be with soap
rinse bucket it's just going to stay with water.
So now what we're going to do is we're going to
and clean the car.
Before we get into the car
we have to clean up those wheels.
So we're going to go into set up,
get ready to clean those wheels
and I will be right back with you guys
so that we can wash the body of the vehicle.
All right, guy so like I mentioned
the Stranger comes in handy in all cases.
So not only can you use it to wipe down your vehicle
you can also use it to clean your wheels.
I'll show you guys right here
I'm going to take it off real quick.
We've already pre-rinse the wheels
now the wheels aren't too bad of an a shape
so this'll be kind of considered more
of just like a light maintenance wheel cleaning,
we're going to be using our Diablo Wheel Gel.
So what I like to do with the Stranger
is I grab my Diablo Wheel Gel
I have a bucket of water right here.
Just put a little bit in there,
activate your suds with some water.
So then once you've activated your suds
you can grab your Diablo
and I've already diluted it right here
in our Ducky Sprayer Foamer.
So this is definitely going to help out
with activating the suds from the Diablo.
So we can go in a spray directly onto the wheel
and use the power that we have in the bucket
as kind of like added cleaning powder
just so that we can safely wipe down our wheels.
As you guys can see
they have a nice gloss black finish to them.
So now I'm going to grab my Stranger wash me here
dunk my mitt into my bucket here,
grab some nice cleaning suds.
And I'm just going to start cleaning the wheel.
And a great thing about this wash mitt
is you can actually go in and get behind the spokes as well.
So however, ease it can get your hand in there
this is definitely going to be a great way
to give your wheels a nice deep cleaning
or just a quick little touch up.
So you can clean up all these spokes nicely
if you have nice
depending on the size of your hands
you go in and cover a large variety of surfaces
such as these areas get behind the wheel, in the wheel,
in the barrel, all that good stuff.
- All right, guys we just finished cleaning up the wheels
now it's time to proceed with the body of the vehicle.
So what we're going to do now
is we're going to set up our foam cannon.
So before we rinse off the vehicle
we've already set up our two bucket method.
I want to set up the foam cannon
so that we can have that nice and ready.
I'm going to set that nozzle down,
grabbed my bottle of Blacklight here,
and I'm just going to apply about one to two ounces,
one squirt, two squirt, two ounces worth of product
and we're good to go.
Now I'm just going to go out and put my nozzle back on,
stir it, and now I have my foam cannon complete.
So now that I have my foam cannon ready
now I can just simply add some soap to my soap bucket
so what I'm going to do is add about an ounce of Blacklight
into my soap bucket.
That's all we need.
So we're going to activate the suds right now
before we give the car a pre-rinse,
we're going to go in and turn on the pressure washer,
give it a light rinse so that we knock off
a lot of that loose dirt and debris
and proceed with the forming process.
All right, so now that that's all foamed up
now it's time to get down to the washing.
So I have my Stranger wash me right here
and it's nice and snug on my hand now
I'm just going to make sure my fingers are all in there
nice and evenly.
Now I'm going to dunk it into our soap bucket
as you guys saw we activated the suds.
So I'm just going to give that nice,
get some nice thick suds going on right there
check that out, nice and thick.
So now we're going to proceed with wiping down the vehicle.
Now, the cool thing about this wash mitt is that
it'll contour to wherever your hand goes.
So you see this edge right here,
since my hand kind of flexes
I can grab it and have it in between my fingers
and get that nice edge going on.
And I can also get into these hard to reach areas right here
like the headlight very easily
especially this is the reason why I love this so much
cause I know it's going to be a huge help
when it comes to these grill areas.
As you guys can see you have a lot of little grooves
and stuff like that.
So if you can get all your fingers into there
you can pretty much wipe a whole grill in one easy swipe.
And that works out great like I mentioned
because it helps you get into those hard to reach areas
very easily and that's the beautiful thing
about the Stranger is that it helps you get into these
all these hard-to-reach areas
that you wouldn't normally be able to get into
with the typical wash mitt.
So now that I've done a little section
I'm going to come back to my rinse bucket here,
and I'm just going to dunk it in there
and just kind of ring it towards the dirt trap
to just kind of knock it down loose,
kind of same way with the two bucket method.
Nice and clean again, give that a rinse off,
As you guys can see it's nice and soft still
I love this because it's super soft
that's a microfiber material.
So grab some more suds
and continue with washing vehicle.
Like I mentioned, this thing it's super convenient
because you can cover hard-to-reach areas
or even do large panels.
Depending on the size of your hand
that's going to ultimately determine how much
of a white surface you're going to be able to cover.
So areas like this, like these pillars,
they're going to be a lot easier to do
because you can literally just grab it
like as if you're grabbing something normal with your hand
and just glide all the way through.
Another great way to do
is get into these hard to reach areas
that you would normally never get into
such as under the hood, under the windshield wipers
all these areas that are hard to get into
with the standard wash mitt or with the sponge.
This is definitely going to help you out
with getting into those hard to reach areas
and that's the beauty of this wash mitt.
And it also has two different sides
so once you do a nice chunk of your vehicle
you can flip it around
and use the gray side as well.
Or you can dedicate it for another part of a vehicle
like glass or something,
I'm going to use it on this mirror.
Like I mentioned,
this thing is so much fun
you can get into all these hard-to-reach areas
especially down here
and into any kind of hard texture groove areas.
Your door handles has never been easier to clean
give that a nice little two fingers in there
and get that nice and clean
and shove all your fingers in there
if you want to get a nice deep clean.
You can also get into these areas over here
such as the railings on the top of your car.
I know this part is pretty easy to get into
but what about that backside?
So grab it.
You get that backside of that railing
and get that nice deep clean going on.
And that's just some of the awesome things
that the Stranger has to offer
that convenience of being able to wipe down
every single part of the vehicle
without any kind of struggling and very minimal effort.
So I'm going to continue with cleaning
the rest of this vehicle.
And we'll be back with you guys
once we're ready to dry it up.
All right guys, so our car is nice and clean now
and now it's time for us to dry it.
So I'm just going to dry it with our Willy Mammoth Towel.
If you guys haven't seen this towel it's ultra-plush,
super-huge, nice and silk lined
and capable enough to dry up this whole car
without even having to ring out my towel.
So I'm going to give this car a full dry
and be back with you guys for the final result.
There you guys have it,
we just finished up our detail.
We did our light maintenance detail on this Honda Pilot.
You guys saw how easy and effectively it was
for us to use the Stranger
to get into those hard to reach areas.
Like I mentioned, my favorite area was the grill
because I know that
this is definitely going to save me a lot of time
because as you guys know
that stuff has a lot of texture and groove.
So this is definitely going to help you out
with all those areas are under your vehicle.
Now, the Stranger isn't just great for exterior washing
the Stranger is great for all applications.
So with this microfiber wash mitt
you can actually use it wet or dry.
So you can use it dry in your interior
to give it like a light dusting.
So we used it on this Honda Pilot
we did a light little wipe down the interior wasn't too bad.
So we wiped down the dashboard, dusted it real good,
we did the steering wheel, the door panels,
and we just pretty much knocked out the entire
interior of the car in a matter of minutes
and just giving it a light wipe down using the Stranger.
Another area that we kind of did off camera a little bit
was the door jams of the vehicle.
We saw that when we were about
to do the interior of the car
that we saw that the dirt and grime
was pretty bad on the door jams.
So we decided to end up using the Stranger Wash Mitt
So we're going to clean up those areas
because as you guys know those as well
have a lot of intricate areas,
a lot of grooves, a lot of dips and dots.
So this definitely helps out with easily getting in there
without any effort.
All right, guys and there you guys have it.
