- Hey what's up guys!
Welcome back to Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Today we have something different.
A 2005 GMC Sierra single cab.
This truck right here is my truck,
and I'm gonna take all the imperfections
and put that blame on me,
because this truck has spider webs, bird droppings,
dirt, debris, water spots,
that is deceiving the look of the vehicle.
But in today's video,
I'll show you guys how to properly maintain
your ceramic coating car
whenever it gets this filthy.
Let's get to it.
To start off, let me just give you guys some background
about this.
So I just left out of town,
I left it parked in front of my lawn
and the sprinklers got to it.
Unfortunately, no one moved it.
The water spots are etched into the paint,
but luckily like me I have a ceramic coating on it
that is HydroCharge.
So whenever you have a ceramic coating on your vehicle,
the water will still be sitting on the surface,
but it won't etch in if you remove it
as safely and easily as possible.
So today, I'll be treating it to a two bucket method wash,
because this truck is filthy.
You guys might not see it, but if you come close,
you guys can see there's like...
I think I haven't washed this since before 4th of July.
I think that was the last time I washed it.
4th of July I did not wash it, I washed it beforehand,
because there was fireworks on it.
But now that I look at it,
there's actually ash all over it.
And that can deceive the look of the vehicle,
if not it could penetrate the clear coat
and damage it forever.
So like I was saying,
I'm treating it to a two bucket method today.
And I'll be using HydroSuds.
So HydroSuds is a ceramic enhancing soap
that has SIO2 properties in it.
If you do not have a ceramic coated vehicle,
it still works for you.
It's still going to produce amazing suds,
and it's still going to allow the paint
some type of protection for a certain amount of time.
But if you have a ceramic coating,
like HydroCharge, HydroSlick,
it's going to enhance the beating properties
and make it last as long as it can.
So before anything, I forgot to open up the spout,
and take out this plastic.
So now that I've just removed it, we're good to go.
So right here, I have my TORQ Foam Cannon.
All I need to do is remove the head
from the top,
and now I'll grab my HydroSuds,
and I'm just going to apply two ounces.
So I overfilled my bottle, so...
(water pours out)
I'll dump a little bit out.
And then it has metering right here,
so I'll drop it down to the 900,
just so I can make sure I have enough soap in there.
(water pours out)
Drop it in there.
All right, we're at the 900.
So now, it's time to apply HydroSuds into my bottle.
So then you go ahead and go right here
and just squeeze it until you get to the 1,000 mark.
That was a perfect squeeze.
I'll put my HydroSuds to the front.
And now I'll grab my TORQ Foam Cannon head
and put it at the front,
on top of the bottle I mean.
And then I'll stir it.
You want to stir the product,
because you do not want any foam inside the bottle,
you want more foam on the paint.
So after I did that,
now it's time to enter my dirt trap.
You always want to enter it at an angle,
so you can cause a permanent seal
and it does not rise back up while you're washing.
If you're not familiar with a dirt trap,
a dirt trap is this filtration system
that all you need to do is just apply
that 12 inch diameter bucket
and the cones at the bottom is going
to filter any grim, debris, that is coming off of the paint
and won't let it rise back up.
So, insert it right there.
And now, before hand, we gotta go over this part.
You always want to have two different color dirt traps,
because you want to make sure you do not cross contaminate.
By that, I mean you always want to have a rinse bucket
and you always want to have a wash bucket.
If your car's filthy, not filthy, light grime, light debris,
you still need to use a dirt trap
to achieve a scratch free wash.
And now, the wash pad I'll be using today
is going to be the Chenille wash pad.
It's amazing, because one, I love that banding.
If you love us, show us off while you're washing.
The Chenille wash pad is super soft, super plush.
The noodle wipes is going to encapsulate any dirt,
and is not gonna let it come back on to the surface,
after I come back to the rinse bucket.
So I'll hang it up right here.
And now, I'll be using the TORQ Snubby.
So the TORQ Snubby is a compact pressure washer wand.
You do not have a long stick
that can potentially damage the paint.
So I come near my paint, and I get this close,
I have in control of it.
Compared to a pressure washer it has like this,
and I have to hold it with two hands.
I personally don't like holding it with two hands.
Just one hand.
Spray it down, and you're good to go.
So beforehand, before I start foaming up the vehicle,
it's time to prep the bucket.
So my left dirt trap, and my right dirt trap,
red is going to be our rinse,
right is going to be my wash bucket.
So let me just apply one ounce, that's all I need.
Put that down.
So now we're gonna go ahead and rinse down the vehicle,
just to knock off any loose grime or debris,
and then we're start foaming it up
with the TORQ Foam Cannon and HydroSuds.
(relaxing music)
So I just finished rinsing down my truck,
and the grime, unfortunately, did not come off.
Like if I come right here,
the bird dropping that is on here, still stuck on there.
Bird dropping that is on there, still stuck on there.
And this is why we need a soap
that will penetrate the grime, the bird droppings,
and help me remove it as safely and easily as possible.
Because if I was just to grab my finger,
and just start scratching it down,
I can potentially damage the hood on my truck.
And also, before I forget guys,
the hood on this truck is not ceramic coated,
because it was just recently painted
and I'm allowing it to cure.
So you do not see beading effect on here,
that is completely fine.
You can blame it on me,
I will make sure I ceramic coat it.
But everything else around this truck
is ceramic coated, including the glass.
HydroSlick does an amazing job
to keep me from using my wipers on my truck.
But now, it is time to foam it up.
It is time to lather it up with amazing suds.
This truck's gonna go from silver/dark charcoal to white,
using HydroSuds.
So beforehand I need to activate the suds on my wash bucket.
Spray it down.
Look, little to no pressure and it activates suds.
And HydroSuds, a lot of people always comment down below,
"It looks watery".
It does not look like any of our other soaps
that is thick, that is correct.
'Cause it has SIO2 properties in it,
but the suds that it produces,
it's millions of suds that are very slick
and it's not going to harm the clear coat,
and it's going to allow the paint
to get some type of protection
if you do not have a ceramic coating.
So now, it is time for me to lather it up
using the TORQ Foam Cannon, so let's get to it.
Wa-choo!
the HydroSuds produce.
Like, look.
Let me just grab my wash mitt.
I'll grab my wash mitt, and it's already rinsed.
So I'ma come right here,
and you guys can see how tick those suds are.
That is all lubricated.
That is not going to harm the finish of my truck,
it's removing any dirt, grime, debris,
that might be sitting on the surface.
Then this is why we recommend coming to the rinse bucket,
you come to the rinse bucket,
you scrub at the bottom, at the dirt trap,
the dirt trap is pulling everything out of your wash mitt,
so you get a scratch free wash.
And you guys can see,
this wash mitt does not have any grime
because I went down there,
scrubbed it with the micro braces,
and it pulled everything off.
So once you've already rinsed it off,
you come to the side
(water dripping out)
and just wring it out, so you get everything out.
And now you come to your soapy bucket,
dunk it right here,
and now you'll go to the highest point of your vehicle.
I was just showing you guys how sudsy it was, right here.
But whenever you're washing a car,
recommend going to the highest point on your vehicle
and scrubbing in one direction.
And yes, this truck does have a gloss wrap on it.
So HydroSuds is safe for any glossy wraps.
Come back up here.
And just scrub it down.
And you guys can see how lubricated it is.
So after two passes,
I'll switch over my wash mitt to a clean side.
And I'll do the same exact thing around the whole car.
Linear motions, never go in circles.
Because if I pick up a rock chip,
and dirt, grime, debris, and I start going in circles,
I have more of a chance to cause a swirl mark,
which a swirl mark is more noticeable than a scratch,
and a scratch is actually easier to remove
than a swirl mark.
'Cause swirl marks are difficult and you want to avoid them
as much as possible.
So now, I'll come back to my rinse bucket.
Same exact thing, rinse it off.
Come outside, wring it out.
And you guys can see how clean it is.
So guys, I'll go ahead and finish up this truck
A cool protectant I like to use is Hybrid VO7.
So keep in mind, my truck is ceramic coated,
and Hybrid VO7 has invisible sealant technology
that's going to enhance any ceramic coating
on any vehicle.
So if you have ceramic coating,
I recommend using this.
If your car's still wet, spray it on there,
and the sealant is going to cause water tension
to disperse, and when you come with a drying towl,
for example I have my favorite Wooly Mammoth towl,
this towl dries up my whole entire truck.
I come close, and I'll just give it a single pass.
You guys can see, the water tension is no longer there,
it gave it a mirror like finish.
So guys, I'll finish up my whole entire truck,
but if you like this video
don't forget to give it a big thumb's up.
