- Hey, what's up Chemical Guys, family! And
welcome back to part three of the series on the Mini Cooper
S. Today we're tackling the interior and we're also going to
be giving the exterior the final touches. So stay tuned.
Don't want to miss out on this amazing video.
All right, guys.
So if you guys have been keeping up with the series,
you guys may have seen part one where we did the full engine
bay cleaning protection, restoration, and look incredible.
Moving on to part two, where we give the exterior,
the full wash, clay bar polished,
and we sealed it with some jet seal.
And today we're cleaning the interior. Now,
as you guys can see, the interior is not too rough of an,
a shape. If anything, it's mostly dusty and just has like,
you know, dust in the crevices and
cracks all around the interior.
So today's not really going to be much of a deep clean,
but more of a maintenance clean because you know,
most times our interiors are not going to stay super dirty
for a vehicle like this, that's newer.
You know, I don't expect it to be very dirty.
I mean, it can be if you're, you know, a very dirty person,
but in this case, this car was very well taken care of.
And it's not going to take as much effort at all
to get it back into tip tip-top shape.
So the product I'm going to be using mainly today is going
to be our hydrointerior, ceramic interior, quick detailer.
Now this works on virtually all interior surfaces,
such as your dashboards, hard plastics painted plastics,
imitation vinyl, and much more.
So with this product, we're going to be
able to clean our entire interior from all
this dust and debris that's on the surfaces.
We're also going to protect it with the extreme durability
of ceramics. So our interior surfaces
are going to be shielded from those
harsh UV rays. This does deliver a completely matte finish.
So for a car like this, that it already looks matte.
We just want to keep it looking that way.
Keep it looking great. With Donna kind of shine
this is the perfect product to do so.
And one of the things I love most about hydrointerior is
that it actually helps reduce the amount of dust that
clings onto your interior surfaces.
So if you're like myself and you love driving around with
the windows down, this is going to be a
very great product to keep your interior clean
and clean it whenever it gets dirty.
So enough talking about hydrointerior.
Let's get to using it. The beautiful thing
about hydrointerior is that it's super easy to use.
All you really have to do is just
spray onto a microfiber towel.
I usually like to spray about four.
And then you simply just going to start wiping down your
interior surfaces. Now at the beginning,
you may see that your, you know,
your dashboards and whatever using to apply it on,
it's going to get a little bit shiny,
but that's simply because of the moisture of the product.
And as you guys can see, it goes and
reverts back to its original matte look.
So this is going to safely allow us to pick up a lot of this
dirt and debris that's on these surfaces,
especially like this right here,
where we have like a glossy plastic. Stuff like this,
you don't want to just use water or whatever it is that most
people use to wipe down the interior.
You want to use something that's lubricated.
So hydrointerior is actually very slick.
So that allows you to safely clean these areas so that
you're not scratching them up while wiping in the process.
So it makes it super convenient.
And the dashboard is one of these areas that you definitely
want to have a lot of protection on.
So with the product like hydrointerior,
it does contain the ceramic SIL two nanotechnology.
That's going to create a durable shield of protection on
this dashboard to shield it from the harsh UV rays.
You know, especially if you're a
person that parks your car outdoors
and it sits outdoors all day,
you want to make sure that your dashboard has protection,
because if it doesn't over time,
if you don't have this protected,
it's going to go ahead and dry crack and potentially fade.
So very quickly, very easily, you can
wipe down all these interior surfaces.
And then, for the intricate areas,
I also do have a brush right here. Now this is one of the,
on the details interior brush set. So this brush is great
because it's broad and it's nice and soft and flexible.
So what I like to use is brushes not with the cleaner.
You can use it with the cleaner,
like nonsense to achieve a deeper clean.
Since we're not working with the super heavy grindings here,
we're not going to do that. We're simply gonna use that dry,
and we're going to use it to just dust out any kind of
crevices like these vents right here, any kind of cracks.
You know, one of the biggest things
about cleaning your interior is
that all these details are nice and clean.
So it's not just a simple matter of just wiping down your
interior with the cleaner. You know,
you want to take your time to just pay attention to the
details, blend up all this debris
that's stuck in the intricate areas,
and you'll have yourself a nice, clean interior.
And just like that, you can grab some more
hydrointerior here and simply just
continue with the cleaning process. Uhm
I am going to be proceeding right now as I get towards
finishing this dashboard, simply
because we are working with different surfaces.
So right here, we actually have leather.
Now, the reason I am going to be
going with a different cleaner
to clean this is because this leather is very dirty.
And what I mean by that is no, it doesn't have mud.
No, it doesn't have brown stains or anything like that.
By looking at the leather, you see the shine on it.
Now this shine comes from your body oils.
As you can imagine, you're driving
with your hands planted on steering wheel all day.
You know, whenever you go into your car,
you don't wash your hands necessarily. You know,
you're not careful. And eventually with the sweat,
it's going to start building up this layer of shine on the
leather. Now I'm going to show
you guys what your leather steering
wheel should look like. And for that,
I'm going to be using our Leather Cleaner.
Now Leather Cleaner is great because this is a dedicated
cleaner just for leather. So if you're working on leather,
that's very dirty, this is going to be
a great product to go ahead and use,
to give it that deep level of clean.
And the great thing about this is that it's a
straightforward cleaner, so it does not have
any oils to condition your leather,
doesn't have any protection in it.
This is strictly for cleaning.
And this is what we want in order to clean the steering
wheel very thoroughly. So what I'm going
to do is spray my brush right here.
I know I said that we're going to use a brush dry,
but in this case, I'm also going to
show you how to use it with the chemical
to clean the steering wheel right here.
So as you guys can see right here,
the steering wheel is nice and shiny.
What we're going to do now is simply agitate the steering
wheel right here. And I'm going to try
to do just a small section at a time.
That way we can kind of see the surrounding leather,
see how it looks different from the leather that we've just
cleaned up and you know, your steering wheel,
it does have a full 360, so you
want to make sure that you get the back as well.
Not only just the front, from what you see, but in order
for you to have a secure grip around the wheel, go ahead
and clean all the way around for that ultimate clean.
All right. So now that I've cleaned it up,
I'm going to grab a towel and simply wipe off the excess of
the cleaner. And we're just going to
give it a second here to dry up.
Normally, when you have moisture on here,
it's going to cause it to look shiny.
But right now I've got to have a secondary microfiber towel
that I don't have wet to just dry it up.
And then I want you guys to come in a little bit closer to
see the difference right here.
So the biggest difference here is that you're going to see
this just looks matte, as opposed to this,
that has a little bit of a shine.
All right, guys. So now that you guys
have seen the difference between the
color of the leather, you know,
I can't necessarily feel it with my hands,
but if you were to do this on your own vehicle and you were
to put your own hands and skin on it,
you'd feel that this has much of a tighter grip as opposed
to this, which is a little bit more slick.
And you know, if you're driving in
inclement driving conditions where you
need to have full control of your vehicle,
you want to make sure that your hands are firm on the wheel.
You don't want to have this greasy feel to it,
want to have a firm grasp on the wheel.
So that's why it's important to clean your leather.
It's not. So it looks good. It's so you
can actually drive and comfort as well.
All right, guys. So now that I showed you guys
how to clean the steering wheel with Leather Cleaner,
I'm going to show you a different method to clean leather.
So right here, we have these leather seats.
As you guys can see, the leather is not in a rough shape.
Like I mentioned, this car is newer. It's not bad.
You might have just like some body oils here and there.
And the leather, for the most part, has this original look.
Now the product that I'm about to show you right now,
is called our leather quick detailer.
Now this product is great for leather simply because it's a
great maintenance for another. So what this is,
it's a cleaner conditioner, protectant all in one.
So not only do you clean light smudges and you know,
food grime and stuff like that,
that's sitting on your leather.
You also give it a nice little coat of conditioning and you
also leave a layer of protection as well, super easy to use.
So all I'm going to do is just simply spray about three
sprays onto a microfiber towel.
And then I'm simply going to start wiping on the area.
And as I'm wiping, you're going to
start seeing that the leather starts becoming shiny.
I know a lot of you guys out there do not prefer the shine
on your leather. So do not worry.
This is not going to stay like this.
And what I mean by that is Leather Cleaner is an adaptive
product. So whether you have shine
on your leather or your leather is completely matte,
it's going to just go ahead and stay the way that it was
before you applied it. So this is an adaptive product.
When you apply it, you can just pretty
much come back with the dry side of your
microfiber towel to pick up any excess.
And this is just going to go ahead and restore
the original look that you once had it as.
And what this is doing is, cleaning it, it's conditioning,
it is protecting it, all in one single, individual step.
So as you guys can see right here, the leather looks great.
We're just going to go ahead and let that sit for about 30
seconds or so longer. And you guys will see
that it's going to go back to the way
it looked before I even touched it with this product.
And just like that you cleaned condition and protected
leather all in one step. So this is a great
product as far as maintenance. Like, you know,
as opposed to like the Leather Cleaner conditioner combo,
which also works out great. However, I would recommend
that combination of products to be used whenever the leather
is much dirtier and or needs a heavy coat of condition.
All right, guys. So now after we wrapped up with interior,
we'll move on to giving the exterior the final touches.
As you guys remember, we gave this whole thing
a full detail. So we washed it, clayed it, we polished it.
Then we still there with some jet seal. So now the next day,
we just want to go to touch up all the trim tires and any
kind of details on the exterior that we didn't finish on the
first day. So after we gave it that full correction,
we moved on to applying some tire and trim gel to all the
exterior trim. As you guys can see, this thing is covered
with trim all the way through 60, all around.
So we want to make sure that that trim is conditioned and
protected at all times. Moving on,
we also applied the tire trim gel to the tires.
So we gave the tires a nice deep coat of rejuvenation with
that tire trim gel. So you guys saw,
we gave the full exterior a full, deep detail.
We sealed it with the jet seal, and now it's the next day.
It had over 12 hours to fully cure onto the surface.
Now we just want to give it a final little wipe down and
touch of shine with some "Blazing Banana" spray wax.
"Blazing Banana" is a quick and easy way to boost your shine
and protect the properties of your sealant,
wax or glaze that's on your vehicle. In this case,
we're not really using it to boost the protection since the
protection is fresh on the surface,
but you can use this as a maintenance in between washes to
give it a boost to shine and protection.
Mainly right now, we're using it
to give it that boost of shine so that we get that nice,
deep rich carnauba look. And lastly,
the only other thing that I wanted to take care of on the
exterior of this Mini Cooper is the exhaust tips.
Now, as you guys can see, they're very oxidized
and we hit them with some heavy metal polish,
brought back that shine, and now they look incredible.
All right, guys, and there you guys have it.
The Mini Cooper S is fully done detailed inside it out,
and it looks incredible. What do you guys think?
