- Hey, what's up guys.
Welcome back to another video.
On today's video, we have this GMC right here behind me.
Now, it does need a lot of work inside and out
and we have all of our products lined up here.
So, we have all our chemicals lined up,
but today's topic of the video
is going to be going over towels.
So, we're going to be going over the different types
of towels and which towel you would use
for the different parts of your car.
So, let's get started.
All right, guys.
So, we have all of our chemicals right here in front of us
and we have a wide assortment of color towels.
Don't worry, I know it looks like a lot
but I'm going to be showing you guys on this truck right
here behind us, what each tower does
and what each towel is for.
So, the first towel that we're going over
is our green workhorse towel.
Now, the green workhorse towel we dedicate
for exterior on the paint.
So, if you want to use this for buffing off waxes,
using with the waterless wash, polishes,
glazes all that good stuff,
the green towel is what you want to use.
Now, we dedicate the green towel because,
whenever you're wiping on the exterior,
you want to make sure your towels are always clean.
So, say I wipe over an area that has a lot of dirt and grime
if any kind of dirt or grime collects on my towel,
I will be able to see it,
and I'll know that I have to flip my towel over
because I don't want to scratch up my paint
with that dirt that's on there.
So, with the water and squash, it works out great
because you can spray a nice, fine coat of E-coat smart
and you can use your green workhorse towels
to scoop all that stuff off with no problem.
Now, the reason I mentioned that we're using the green towel
on the exterior is because we want to make sure
that we're able to see the dirt.
So, as you guys can see right here on my towel
this car is pretty filthy.
I know it's a light color.
I know you can't really tell on camera, but check that out.
Just from that little section that I did you could see all
that dirt and grime that's on there. So, you want to make
sure that if your towel looks like that,
you want to flip it to the opposite side of your towel so
that you don't get that dirt and smear
and drag it all throughout the surface because
that's going to definitely scratch up the paint.
So, you want to make sure that you have full visibility
of your towels and always be able to see when
there's any kind of dirt or grime on there.
As you can see the car's pretty filthy.
So, I am going to have to flip this towel around often just
because I want to make sure that I don't scratch it up.
And that's the reason why we use the green towels
for exterior on the paint.
All right guys our next towel is our blue workhorse towel.
Now, we dedicate the blue towels for glass cleaning.
Now, we do have the green one that we just went over
and you would ask why can't I use the green one
if it's for the exterior on the glass?
I'll tell you why, because whenever you apply in a wax,
wax is contain Carnauba oils,
those Carnauba oils can linger on your towel.
And if I try to clean my glass
with a towel that has Carnauba oils or any kind
of oils for the matter I can get a streak,
I'll get a streak, I'll get a haze, I'll get like a film.
And that's going to be a very very bad time
for me to try to wipe it off.
So, the reason that we use a towel dedicated
for glass only is because we want to make sure
that there's nothing on our towels
that can contaminate our towels
and leave us a streak or a smear.
And that's definitely something that we don't
want when it comes to cleaning glass.
Cleaning glass is already hard enough as it is
but when using clean towels and the bright cleaner,
it's a breeze.
So, we're using streak free glass cleaner.
The reason why we use a blue
is because I personally like how
it matches with the streak free glass cleaner.
So, you never get confused on what's used for what?
So, all we want to do as you guys can see
the glass is pretty filthy.
I'ma spray a nice fine coach of streak free.
I'ma spray some on my towel
and I'm jointly going to wipe off this grind.
One cool thing about streak free is
that it leaves a nice slick layer behind.
So, it has static inhibiting agents that also kind
of reduce the static clean on your glass so
that your glass stays cleaner for longer.
So, it doesn't really stick to it as much.
You can flip your towel around
and just buff off any excess cleaner
or grime that you may not have gotten.
And for those of you guys who are asking,
yes streak free is also great for tints as well.
So, I can go and use it
on the inside part of the glass, clean it up.
It has no ammonia, so it's not going to damage any kind
of factory window tints or aftermarket tints.
And that's the reason that we use the blue workhorse towels
on glass only to make sure that we don't cross contaminate.
So, the next towel we have is our gray workhorse towel.
Now, these we dedicate for metal polishing.
So, if you have a product like light metal polish
or heavy metal polish, these towels work out great
for buffing off large areas of any kind of metal surface.
So, if you have chrome trims such as on this truck.
We have these chrome door handles.
We can simply
and grab some of our light metal polish.
This truck doesn't necessarily have too much chrome trims
or any kind of chrome wheels or anything like that
but you can definitely use these towels
to get nice and in there and light metal polish
is great because it'll
and clean any kind of light oxidation.
So, if you have like water spots on your metal,
carbon deposit, embedded brake dust, stuff like
that you can use light metal polish to
and clean up your metal surfaces and it's going
to restore it to its nice, high shine clarity.
And it also leaves behind a layer of sealants.
So, it protects it from any kind of further damage
so that they don't get tarnished all over again
and it helps prevent with oxidation
from building up on your metal finishes.
Once you do that, you can flip it around,
buff off the excess and reveal
that super, nice, high gloss shine
to these nice chrome door handles.
Now, the reason that we use a gray towel
for metal is because it helps us kind of color match it
with like the metal surfaces, metal's mostly like gray
or dark gray or something like that.
So, we use these towels for that matter because say in
the case that you're polishing chrome wheels,
you're working with things like break dust,
contamination like that.
So, the last thing you want to worry about
is getting fine brake dust on your gray metal towels,
and using the same towels on your paint
or even on your glass because
that can definitely scratch up your finishes.
So, make sure that you use a separate color towels such as
the gray ones for polishing metal or any kind
of intricate areas around your vehicle.
So, for the next towel we're going over is a towel
that you definitely do not want to mix up
and that is the black workhorse towel.
Now, these are meant for the grimy areas of your exterior
of your vehicle such as wheels, undercarriages,
exhaust tips, stuff like that.
You want to make sure to use a black towel because let's say
if I use a green towel like we use for the paint,
if I were to use that on area like on the tires
and I get the filth and the grime
that's from the tires onto my green towels,
most likely they are not those towels are going to be
stained because that grease is going to stay in those fibers
of the microfiber on the lighter color microfiber.
So, we recommend using a black one because
the black one obviously over time
with use these towels are going to collect grime
and they're going to get stained
and we don't really see the grime
that builds up on here because obviously
the towels are dark.
So, you're not really going to pay attention to it too much.
So, when it comes
to these towels cleaning things like tires,
it's really great.
You can use probably like AllCLEAN to
and spray onto your tires, give them a nice, deep cleaning.
Now, I like using it with a nifty brush because
they're a nice stiff bristle brush
which is definitely going to help me
with agitating all the grime
that's off the tire.
So, once you clean your tire, you can
and grab your black workhorse towel and wipe it right off.
So, as you guys can see, I wiped it off.
You can see some kind of like brown residuals
on this towel and not too much, not too bad
but you can definitely tell there's some grime on there.
I mean, I got some on my hand
from when I tried it to this top area
but my towel kind of folded on me, but that's okay.
You know, it's nice, it's clean.
And now it's ready for a nice application of a dressing
that's going to last.
So, we can finish buffing
this off as you guys can see the tire.
It's nice, it looks new again.
No conditioning on there just because
the AllCLean knocked all that stuff down
and any kind of residual oils and grime that this tire has.
And that's why we use a black workhorse towel
to clean the more filthier areas of your vehicle.
You can also use it for things like exhaust tips.
So, if you have like your exhaust tips over here,
you can spray directly onto a different side
of the towel here and also spread the exhaust tips directly
and give them a nice little cleaning over time
these do end up collecting a lot of carbon deposits.
So, you want to make sure that they're nice
and clean because they are pretty visible
on the exterior vehicle, just like that.
These are just some of the examples
that you can use your black workhorse towel on
the more filthier your parts of the vehicle,
the under carriage.
If I wanted to, I can spray directly right here as well
and just get my workhorse towel and wipe that stuff off.
You can also use them
for buffing off products like Bare Bones.
If you happen to find yourself over applying your product,
you can go over it with a black workhorse towel,
quickly pick up any excess so
that you don't have any fleeing
or that you don't get any kind of leftover residue
that looks all nasty.
So, these are just some of the examples
of what you can use your black workhorse towel
for and why you would want to use
the black work horse towel for.
The next towel in our list is yellow workhorse towel.
Now, this towel works out great for interior cleaning
such as on dashboards, center consoles,
steering wheel is you can even use fabrics
and stuff like that.
The product that I love is in here with this inner clean
just because it matches with the towel and the product.
So, inner clean is great because you can spray some
of this onto your towel and inner clean is pretty much
an all purpose interior cleaner.
So, I can use it to clean my dashboard.
I know this car isn't relatively too dirty
but that's the point of inner clean.
Inner clean is great for things like
this where your car is just lightly dusty.
It works on all virtually anterior surfaces.
So, I can use it on all these things right here.
The navigation screen, you can wipe it off.
It works out amazing for quickly cleaning your interior.
You can get it to all these little areas get all
the dust out and it also leaves behind a layer
of UV protection.
So that's one of
the main reasons why I like using inner clean,
is because of the protective properties that it carries.
So, not only can they clean virtually all
of my interior surfaces
and I can even clean this little area down here.
We'll spray a little bit more cleaner out to my towel.
I clean this little top area.
It works out amazing for cleaning virtually all
of your interior surfaces.
Now, this towel like I mentioned,
you want to use a light color towel
because you want to make sure that you're able
to see visibly what is on your towel.
We want to make sure that there's no dirt or grime.
You have some hairs right here, some no dust, debris.
So, whenever you get your towel kind
of filthy you can flip it around to another side
and just use a different side to clean your interior
so that you don't risk scratching up.
Your sensitive plastics like your navigation screen,
your LCD screens, your gauges.
You want to make sure not to scratch them up.
So, make sure you use a light colored towel so
that you can help identify interior contaminants.
Now, same thing goes
with the other towels like I mentioned.
I mentioned using a green towel for your paint
because it's light and you can see the contamination
but you don't want to use the same exterior green towel
for your paint on your interior.
Because like I mentioned, who's to say
that you're not going to use it
with the wax and get oils on there and stuff like that.
You don't want any kind of oils on your interior,
because you don't want it to look all ugly.
You don't want any kind of smears and residue
especially like on your navigation screen.
And that ties in with the blue towel for the glass.
Remember, we don't want to have any kind
of oily or streaky films.
So we want to make sure
that all the towels that we use are intended
for the area that we're going to be using them for.
So, it's not just because you have to have a bunch
of different colored towels it's for your own good
so that you don't cross contaminate
from all the things that you have
from the outside of your car, from the war, dirty parts
of your vehicle to the inside of the vehicle
to the not so dirty parts of the vehicle.
So, I know it kind of goes back and forth
but like I mentioned,
these things do help out in the long run.
One of the biggest examples like I mentioned,
it's really glass.
You don't want to use your filthy towels for your glass
because then you're going to get streaks and smears
and you're going to have a hard time cleaning your glass.
And at the end of the day
it's not going to look the way you want it.
So, by utilizing these different colored towels you help
with cross-contamination by helping prevent it,
so that you don't get any kind of contaminants
from the inside of your car to the outside and vice versa.
And finally, we have our last towel which
is our tan workhorse towel.
Now this towel, we dedicate
for leather cleaning and conditioning.
So, for this leather right here on this truck
the leather is not too bad of any shape.
It's actually pretty clean for what it is.
We'll be using a product like leather Quick Detailer.
I love using leather Quick Detailer
because it's a quick clean condition
and protection for your leather.
So, it kind of takes all the elements of a leather cleaner
a conditioner and leather protect and serum
and it combines it all into one product
so that you can easily wipe off light debris, body oils,
grime whilst conditioning your leather
and also protecting it all in one.
So, with this product I have to do is simply spray directly
into your towel.
You can spray directly onto the leather as well.
If it's not perforated then you can simply spray your towel
and wipe the area and you'll see that it'll wipe
off any kind of light debris, grime.
It actually lays down a nice little coating of conditioner.
So, it gives it a little bit of conditioning.
If it does need a full conditioning
if your leather is pretty dried out, then you may want to go
with like the leather cleaner conditioner but
this is a great product for maintenance.
So, you can wipe down the light things,
whilst also maintain the look of your leather.
So, we dedicate the tans towels for leather because
it matches with all of our leather cleaning products
such as leather cleaner, conditioner, serum,
and it also goes with the leather Quick Detailer.
So, that way you know you have a color coordination
for your leather products so that you don't get confused.
And like I mentioned, the tan towel
it's not relatively a lighter color
but it's not so much of a dark color either.
So, you can still tell all the dirt and grime,
especially for cleaning like leather with leather cleaner
and you're cleaning some very, very filthy leather seats.
And that's why we dedicate our tan towels
for leather cleaning and conditioning.
And there you guys have it just a simple little explanation
on why we have different color towels
and the purpose for them.
And these towels will work great
on whatever you use them with but we do highly recommend
that you color coordinate them either your own way.
If you want to color coordinate this towels your own way,
or if you want to follow our way,
that's completely up to you.
As long as you have some kind of system
where you can tell what towel is used for what so
that you don't cross-contaminate.
That's great, if you guys liked this video,
