What's up guys we're back here in the Detail Garage with this Tesla.
This car hasn't been washed in over four months so it is completely thrashed.
The paint is covered in dirt and debris but mainly these wheels are coated in brake dust,
grime and road debris.
Today we're going to get it cleaned up and looking right.
Over here I've got my bucket full of water and I'll place one Dirt Trap inside of it
to filter out and contaminants and prevent them returning to the vehicle.
If you noticed I place it in at an angle and press it all the way to the bottom to reduce
air getting stuck underneath it so it can create a seal which prevents any gross contaminants
from coming back through the cones.
To help me clean these rims I have three brushes.
I have our Green Flagged Tip Brush which is for cleaning the face of the wheel, the Stiffy
Blue Brush for the tire to remove road grime and previous dressings and lastly we have
our new Easy Reach Rim and Tire Detailing Brush to get into the spokes removing the
brake dust and grime all the way to the back of the barrel.
Before we do all that we'll load up our bucket with some Diablo Wheel Gel to create foam
that emulsifies brake dust and contaminants to prevent scratching and we'll activate it
using the hose.
Starting off by putting all three brushes in the bucket to collect foam which helps
us clean.
Before we start I'll rinse off as much of the grime as possible so we won't scratch
and then we can start with the foaming process.
By using our Jet Stream Fire Hose Nozzle it has helped take down all the loose heavier
filth to prevent swirls and scratches.
Gathering foam and lubrication on the Easy Reach Wheel Brush we are going to start at
the highest point of the wheel this way we're not dragging the debris over areas that we
have already cleaned.
You can see it goes all the way to the back of the wheel taking off as much of the brake
dust and grime without scratching.
This wheel brush has super soft bristles which help to take off anything that is stuck in
small crevices but won't scratch the surface.
To add some more cleaning power as well as foam I'm going to spray some Sticky Wheel
Gel on here.
This helps take off road grime, embedded contaminants and also anything that has been sitting on
the surface because like I said this car hasn't been detailed in at least four months and
it just got back from a cross-country road trip so it picked up a lot of road grime and
filth that can harm the finish.
So I'm spraying a generous amount on here to help foam and lubricate so we don't scratch
it.
As you can see this brush went all the way to the back of the barrel and took care of
the sitting grime and debris and now you'll look in here and see a perfectly clean rim.
Now we're going to move on to another brush.
We're going to use our Green Flagged Tip Brush this is going to take care of anything that
is left on the face of the wheel.
So I'm going to spray a little bit of Sticky Wheel Gel into the brush this adds cleaning
power as well as lubrication so that again we don't add new scratches or swirls to the finish.
Working at the top and going around the rim we are picking up any remaining residues and
brake dust to get these rims looking right.
So I'm also going to spray some Sticky Citrus Wheel Gel in this brush because this is adding
cleaning power which creates foam that penetrates the rubber to remove dressings and road grime
to bring back a natural black look.
Alrighty guys as a last step we need rinse off all this spent product and grime that
had caked up all over the wheels and wheel wells so we'll use the Jet Stream Fire Hose Nozzle.
Now if you're wondering why we started with the wheels it is because on any detail if
you are washing the exterior you'll want to start with the dirtiest areas and the wheels
are obviously the most grime and polluted area.
So we started with the wheels and now that they are looking right we are going to move
on to the body when we come back to the Detail Garage.
Just want to say thanks to you guys for sticking through, obviously it gets pretty loud and
noisey out here.
It took multiple takes to get this video perfect but we appreciate you guys watching.
