What's up guys welcome back to the Detail Garage.
So today I wanted to make a short video showing you guys the importance of cleaning and protecting
your tires and trim.
Here in California we get a lot of dry weather which takes its toll on your tires, the rubber
starts to crack from UV rays and also the plastic pieces that dry out giving that white
chalky look.
So I'm going to clean the trim pieces and the tires on this BMW.
We'll dress it to show you guys the difference when protecting it to give it that deep black
shine but more importantly it is giving it a coating that resists water, dirt and sun
rays which adds longevity giving it a better look.
All Clean is a degreaser that is safe for wheels, painted surfaces or exposed metal
surfaces and all you have to do is spray it on.
The cleaning agents in there are going to help remove any stubborn staining, grease,
previous dressings and road grime.
As you can see it is already turning this brown filthy disgusting color and that is
the agents pulling out the embedded contaminants making it easier to clean.
It's okay to get it on your rims, so we'll just spray a little on there and this will
help remove brake dust, tar and road debris without harming the surface.
I've got the Stiffy Blue Brush which is going to scrub away all this old filth.
You can always spray a little product into your brush and that adds cleaning power and lubrication.
As I was working I wanted to mention that I always start from the top and work my way down.
This way you're not getting dirt on a cleaned area.
Now that I'm done scrubbing down the tire I'll just wipe off the excess starting on
the rims.
All Clean, without even scrubbing, picked up all the brake dust and grime that was sitting
on the surface.
Now that the tire is clean and dry you can see it has no old dressing on it and it is
ready for a fresh coat.
I'm going to use our new Hybrid V7 Tire Shine.
It is going to give it a deep gloss and shine by penetrating the rubber so it will be dry-to-the touch.
I'll spray some on the applicator.
Gently working it into the tire, this is safe for any rubber pieces or plastic pieces such
as trim to give you a deep glossy black finish while still being dry-to-the touch.
As you can see this tire looks amazing.
It has a nice deep black crisp look.
If you want more of a matte finish you can always buff this off but I'm going to let
this dry because I want that glossy effect making it really pop.
Next, lets move on to the trim and wheel wells.
This car is routinely cleaned so it doesn't need a lot of work.
Just using some diluted Nonsense I'll wipe off the dirt and debris or anything else that
has been sitting.
This will give me a clean surface to dress and make this black look its best.
So Nonsense is an all purpose cleaner that is safe for vinyl, rubber, plastic, painted
surfaces and interior surfaces and what it does is pull off any grime, debris, old dressing
or anything that is going to make it hard for new dressing to stick to.
As you can see it's nice and dry and it is ready for a coat of dressing.
I'm going to spray a little dressing on an applicator.
After I work it into the plastic I'll give you guys a 50/50 shot so you can see the difference
between the dressed side and the non-dressed side.
So starting with All Clean I cleaned the rubber and the rim which took care of any previous
dressings, road grime and brake dust giving it a nice clean surface for our new dressing
to stick to.
Using the V7 Dressing it penetrated the rubber which promotes longevity while giving it that
deep rich black look but it is still dry-to-the touch so it won't sling off.
Then I used Nonsense to clean the trim and wheel wells which is an all purpose cleaner
which has cleaned it nicely so that the new dressing can bond better.
The Hybrid V7 Dressing has given it that deep black shine but also protected from UV rays,
harsh elements and fading.
So I'm going to finish off the rest of this vehicle, we'll see you guys next time.
