So before we start our detail today we are going to prepare ourselves.
We are wiping out the buckets which is what we do before every wash.
This is removing any remaining grime that is stuck at the bottom of the bucket.
Although the Dirt Trap removes and separates the abrasive particles of dirt and it leaves
it at the bottom of the bucket, we still need to wipe it out.
This is to further reduce the chances of bringing the old filth to the car which can scratch
the paint but this will make your car look its best.
Using a green microfiber towel and wiping out the bottom of the bucket to get rid of
the dirt and rocks.
Now we can start our detailing process by fill both buckets with fresh water.
Today, in the Chemical Guys Detail Garage we have this 1997 Toyota Supra.
This is an iconic car that you have probably seen in video games like "FORZA", "Midnight
Club" and movies like "The Fast and the Furious".
This car is beautiful but it is covered in dirt and debris because it was transported
to LA from Ohio.
It looks like there is rust or run off that may permanently have stained the paint but
we won't know until we wash it off.
Today, we are using Citrus Wash Clear to remove the surface debris, grime and reveal that
finish.
Over here we have the two bucket method ready and I've already shown you guys that wiping
out the debris from the bottom of the bucket reduces the amount of dirt that is in the
bucket and keeping as much of it off the car.
Lets set up the buckets which we have on this cart.
Everything is out here for a reason, the cart helps us from craning and leaning over as
we wash, this will save your back muscles in the long run.
We'll place a Dirt Trap in each bucket, at an angle to prevent air from being trapped
underneath it.
Press them all the way down to the bottom and let them settle to create a tight seal
because the pressure of the water concave's the bucket to lock in the Dirt Trap.
Also, lets add an ounce of Citrus Wash Clear to the wash bucket.
While we are at it we will add an ounce to the foam cannon.
This is the Big Mouth Foam Cannon which produces tons of thick suds.
It has this larger neck to avoid spills and messes.
Now we'll just reattach the top, mixing it back and forth instead of shaking it to prevent
foam from being created inside of the canister but rather it'll aerate as we foam.
With any detail, you want to start with the dirtiest area which is usually the wheels
but luckily for us this car has its summer set on.
TOYO tires wrapped around CCW wheels that have already been cleaned and polished so
we aren't going to worry about that.
We'll work our way from top to bottom removing the heavier, more abrasive particles and then
we will scrub away any stubborn areas.
So lets get started!
After rinsing off the vehicle it has removed the loose, heavier particles of dirt but you
can see that pressure washing alone doesn't remove stubborn or embedded grime which is
why we are going to foam it for lubrication and cleaning power to remove these stains.
Then we can inspect the paint for etching or permanent stains.
This car is pretty thrashed and dirty and I have the pleasure of cleaning it up.
Now that's a ton of suds.
Lets grab our Chenille Microfiber Wash Mitt which have these dreads that safely remove
debris so that it doesn't scratch the finish.
You can use this on any color vehicle to restore shine safely.
Grabbing some foam which is adding lubrication and cleaning power we'll go to the highest
point just like we did as we rinsed and foamed it.
This is to insure that we don't get dirt in areas we have already cleaned and also the
flat panels is where the heavier more abrasive particles are.
By starting there you won't scratch the rest of the vehicle.
Gently working back and forth letting the weight of my hand carry across the surface.
The soap is doing an excellent job of removing whatever this was on the surface.
Possible rust from the trailer or something from the road but it comes of rather easily
with little scrubbing.
This is saving us time so that we won't have to polish it.
Continuing to work our way around the vehicle, periodically going to our second bucket since
this car is pretty dirty.
It is a necessity to wring out the filth by pushing it against the Dirt Trap.
Running the dreads of the wash mitt against the Dirt Trap to release it all and wringing
it out on the ground to reduce the amount of dirt that is in the bucket.
Now we'll grab some more soap and keep on washing.
As you can see after scrubbing away the grime and rust, this supra has a bright finish but
now we are going to rinse it off to get rid of the spent soap and remaining dirt and debris.
We need to dry the vehicle and since it has over 600 horsepower maybe we'll air dry it...
We'll see you guys next time right here in the Detail Garage.
