What's up Chemical Guys family!
Today we have a special treat for you.This is Cody.
He's a cool guy with a cool car.
We're going to show you how to properly wash your exotic car without adding any swirls
or scratches and also enhance that gloss.
So, Cody, why don't you tell us about this cool car.
So, what we have here is the Lamborghini Huracan Perfomante, otherwise known as "Purplemonte"
because it's pretty obvious.
This car, I took delivery in October of 2017 and because it's cold where we are and snowy,
what better place to bring it out to than the Chemical Guys Headquarters here to help
me detail it.
We've been driving it around in the canyons.
This is the fastest car that Lamborghini currently makes and it's the second fastest car in the
world to lap the Nurburgring.
So it's great to have you help me out to clean this up because it's been a mess.
Absolutely.
So, you've taken this out yesterday to the canyons and got a little dirty, right?
That's exactly right.
And it's the fastest car...
how fast have you had this up to?
Um, well... pretty fast.
Let's just say that.
The interesting thing in the canyons though is you can't really push it to its top speed.
But the thing about this car is it literally sticks to the ground and it rotates in ways
that really blows your mind.
Because I drive my cars, I don't believe in Garage Queens, you know, you got to enjoy
it, so, it gets dirty and you want that paint to look its best every time, so I'm here to have you
guys give me some tips on how to keep it looking as purple as it does.
It's an amazing color, very different color, I love it.
Very crazy.
Even on a gloomy day like today, it still has a very awesome vibe to it.
Now, you're saying that you take this to the canyons.
Does that effect on rock chips with you?
Yeah, so the car is fully protected by PPF.
This is XPEL Ultimate and I do this with all my cars because, again, you want to try to
protect this paint.
Trying to correct the actual paint if you get these rock chips in it, t's a nightmare.
It's more than it's worth.
So, for me, I've protected the entire car.
So all the exposed surfaces are covered with that.
And even with that, I know that that PPF requires care as well and so I use the foam cannon
at home.
I use your products.
I use two bucket solution as well.
And it's still a struggle, right, but I know I am going to learn some things from you guys
today.
Let's hope so.
Alrighty Cody, so today we are going to using our two bucket method with our foam cannon
and our all new Watermelon Scent soap to product tons of suds so we don't scratch that finish
and also enhance that shine.
Let's get started.
So before we start the rinsing process, we're going to set up both our buckets.
As usual, we have our two buckets: one for our rinsing and one for our soap.
And now we are going to place a Dirt Trap in each one of our buckets which is going
to filter out as much of the contamination and abrasive particles of dirt, this way so
we don't scratch the wrap that's on this vehicle.
Now, I've placed them in at angle and this reduces any air getting trapped in underneath
the cones.
So what it's going to do is as you run your wash mitt over that platform, it's going to
force the dirt under the platform, keeping it off the vehicle.
So, now we will add one once of our Watermelon Scent to our wash bucket and it has this really
nice watermelon scent and it will adds this really nice glow to the bucket.
We'll also add the same amount of wash solution to our foam cannon.
It's already been filled up with water.
A detailing trick is to add warm water to your foam cannon.
This will help aerate the product as you're foaming.
And now we will reattach the top and I've said it before, but I will say it again: what
you want to do is have it nice and snug, not too tight cause you don't want to strip it.
And then work back and forth.
Not shaking it up violently, but just gently mixing the solution together.
This way, it's not creating foam and suds inside the bottle, but rather, as you're aerating.
So with any detail, you want to start with the dirtiest area, being the wheels.
This car is pretty well maintained, so there's not a whole lot of brake dust or road debris,
so we will go over that pretty quickly.
What I'm going to do is rinse off the vehicle starting with the top and working my way down.
This is because on all vehicles, the flat panels are what collect grime, dirt, anything
that's really abrasive and if we rinse from sides and then work our way to the flat panels,
we're going to create more work ourselves because that's bringing dirt into areas we've
already cleaned.
So, we're working from top to bottom and also in straight lines we're reducing the chances
of scratching the vehicle as well as making more work for ourselves.
So, with that being said, we'll get the pressure washer out, start rinsing,
then we can actually start foaming
So, after using the Big Mouth Foam Cannon and that Watermelon Scent Soap, you can see
that it's produced tons of suds that's adding lubrication, but more importantly, it's going
to enhance that shine while we wash.
So, now, we've got our second bucket here full of soap and foam and now we're going
to take our microfiber wash mitt, let's grab some of these thick suds.
This is, again, going to help lubricate our wash mitt, so in case we trap any abrasive
particles, we're not dragging them across the surface and scratching the finish.
And now we'll start at the top and working in long passes and linear motions, you can
also roll the wash mitt so you are creating anew fresh edge as you wipe.
Periodically, we are going to go back to our second bucket to wring out the abrasive particles
or whatever else we picked up on the surface because although this car is brand new and
well maintained, there's always going to be some type of dirt or debris on there that
can actually scratch the paint.
So now that's why we're going to come back to our second bucket.
I'll press all the way to the bottom against that Dirt Trap and what this is doing is it's
forcing any of that contamination on the wash mitt underneath those cones, that way we keep
them off the vehicle.
In order to keep this bucket as clean as possible, and further reduce the chances of abrasive
particles of dirt returning to the car, we are going to take it outside, wring it on on the ground.
And now that we've got most of the old water off, we are going to grab some more soap and
we can keep on washing.
So now that we've rinsed off all the spent soap and debris, we're going to dry it because
although it's not very hot outside, it's actually pretty gloomy, water can still spot and dry
and that can etch the paint.
So we are going to use our Elegant Edgeless Towel which is going to prevent any kind of
swirls or scratches because there is no edge and it picks up a lot of water nice and easily
and it's also a very large towel.
So there's a few different ways you can dry a vehicle.
You can pat it dry, where you just simply place the towel on the vehicle, and this traps
the water.
This is a way to ensure you don't swirl the vehicle because the towel isn't moving .
And you can see it's got a perfectly dry finish.
Or we can also do our traditional style where you fold it up into four and then we gently
place on the vehicle working in straight lines and we can also roll the towel and that picks
up a lot of water for a scratch-free shine.
So, if you guys liked this car, be sure to give it a thumbs up.
