What's up everybody, welcome back to the Detail Garage.
Today, we have something special for all you guys who like to go off-road.
Our buddy Carlos brought in his Silverado and as you can see, it's completely thrashed
with mud, dirt, and everything else on surface.
So, today, we have Hector and myself detailing this thing because we want to get it done
as quickly and efficiently as possible.
To start off, we are going to get jumping on the wheels.
As you can see, they've picked up a lot of dirt, clay, and anything else that could be
thrown up into that wheel well.
What we are going to do is start with rinsing it down and then using some soft bristle brushes
with Diablo Wheel Gel, we'll safely remove any abrasive particles of dirt or brake dust
or anything else that could harm the finish.
So, let's get started.
Hector, are you ready?
I'm ready.
Let's do it.
So, Hector, like I said, I have you here because we are going to do this as efficiently as
possible.
Now that this one's rinsed down, I can actually start the scrubbing process.Hector is going
to move to the back of wheel so we can get this done as fast as possible.
So, to begin on this wheel, I am going to grab an Easy Reach Wheel Brush, a very soft
bristled brush that safely removes any kind of contaminants or anything else off the wheel.
It reaches all the way to the back of the barrel because as you can see, this truck
has a deep dish and also these intricate spokes here so you want to to be able to get all
of the contamination or anything else that's collected on the wheel so you can have a perfectly
fresh and detailed rim.
So, as you can see, the Easy Reach Wheel Brush did an amazing job at going around the entire
wheel.
Also, it's got this nice soft bristled brush, so it's not going to be scratching the surface
of any painted, chrome, or OEM wheels.
Simply, it's removing any kind of road debris, brake dust, or anything else that's collected
on the wheels.
So, now, we are going to move onto a finer brush.This is the green Flag Tipped Brush.
It has these really fine bristles on the end here and this is going to get the face and barrel.
Simply working my way around and as you saw with the Easy Reach Wheel Brush, we start
at the top and then work our way around.
This is going to prevent dirt from getting in areas we already cleaned.
It simply takes off anything that's collected on the surface.
As you guys can see, we are outside today, it's a little noisy, but we are going to work
through it.
Hector is working back here on a wheel and he's using two of our new brushes.
These are our Red Rocket Brushes.
They come in two different sizes.
He has the larger brush for getting in the obviously large areas, and then a smaller
brush to get the smaller, more intricate, more tight crevices,
like between the caliper and rotor or the
caliper and the barrel.
Now, to finish up this wheel, I'm going to finish up using some Sticky Citrus Wheel Gel.I'm
going to spray it directly onto the surface and this is going to help cut through old
dressings, road debris, tar, grease, or anything else that gives you that brown look.
Simply spray it on the surface, and then I am going to use a stiffer bristled brush.
This blue stiffy bristle brush is going to agitate, but it's also going to do the real
heavy duty scrubbing.
Get this a little bit wet to add some softness to it.
Now, we'll just go around the wheel.
Now, again, as always, we're starting at the top because the dirt is travelling down and
it's just making more work yourself if you start at the side or the bottom if you start
anywhere else but the top.
We're going to finish this up, finish up the other two wheels, and then get started on the body.
So, Hector and I have just finished cleaning all 4 wheels on this truck and they look a
lot better obviously, but now we need to move onto the body, so things are going to get
really messy in this wash bay.
It's got a lot of dirt and mud on there, so what we are going ot do is a little bit different
today.We are going to start by rinsing it down, we are going to foam it, and then rinse
that foam off, foam it again, and then we can actually do our scrubbing process because
as we could see when we were washing the wheels, this stuff is really caked on and it's actually
abrasive, so we definitely don't want to scratch this pristine red finish.
So, what we are going to do is take extra precaution to make it look its best.
Also, to help up cut through all that dirt and debris today, we've got ourselves Tough
Mudder.
This is a soap designed specifically for cases like this where you've got a lot of rocks,
mud, clay- a lot of stuff that's going to be really abrasive.
We're going to create a ton of suds using this and our Big Mouth Foam Cannon.
Now, this is an awesome foam cannon because it has a larger neck so you don't make a mess
as you're filling it up, but also, it has a directional fan so you can either foam vertically
or horizontally.This way you can cover any size or shape vehicle, getting the most foam
on there which acts as lubrication and cleaning power and again, this is going to prevent
any kind of swirls or paint damage.
So, without further ado, let's get started because we have a lot of work to do today
and, yeah, let's just get to it.
so now we are going to have to get down and dirty with it by actually scrubbing it.
Hector, here's a Chenille Microfiber Wash Mitt for you.
We've also filled up one of our wash buckets with more Tough Mudder, foamed it up to activate
the suds to act as lubrication and some more cleaning power.
At the bottom of the bucket, we have a Dirt Trap.
If you are new to the channel, what a Dirt Trap does is it filters out the abrasive particles
on the vehicle, keep them off the car and under that platform and also out of your wash water.
So, let's get started.
Alright guys, so me and Nick had to double team this truck.
It was really, really bad.
It had a lot of contamination, dirt, grime, and everything you don't want on your truck
on the truck.
So, we have it two foams, rinsed it off, and now we are going to use our Waffle Weave.
Nick what are you using?
This is the Woolly Mammoth Towel.
Very plush so it picks up a lot of water without scratching.
Nice and plush.... like this guy.
