- As you see in front of us,
we have this beautiful 1953 Chevy.
And although this garage queen is kept in doors,
most of the time from driving around,
it's got a light layer of dust,
as well as some bird droppings, a little bit of water spots,
some bee droppings, as well as a little bit of pollen.
So today we're going to show you how to remove all that
stuff safely without using a bucket,
a hose, or breaking all of your detailing accessories.
So today we're going to be utilizing the
Mr. Sprayer waterless wash kit,
and we've set aside all the items into the kit here.
And we'll start off with a Mr. Sprayer,
which is our dilution atomizer.
And this is what's going to hold your solution,
making it very easy and very efficiently to spray your
vehicle down with your waterless washes,
quick detail sprays,
or anything else you want to put inside of that bottle.
We have EcoSmart concentrate, which dilutes 16 to 1.
And essentially what that means is this one 16 ounce bottle
is going to create two gallons of waterless wash solution.
You can see here,
you have your cleaning aged on top and on the bottom here,
you have a very thick layer of wax.
So before you begin,
you want to make sure that you shake all that up,
mixing the solution together,
and then you can dilute it as desired
and 16 to 1 is the recommended dilution ratio.
And lastly,
we have our green workhorse microfiber towels,
which are a 70, 30 blend.
And that means that they're going to safely pick up any kind
of abrasive particles such as your dust and dirt,
but it's also going to absorb any kind of cleaning agents
without leaving in kind of streaks.
So let's begin by diluting our EcoSmart and we've already
shaken the product to mix the wax and the cleaning solution.
And we're going to be using our Mr. sprayer,
which is a one and a half liter container,
and we're converting it from liters to ounces.
And in a 1.5 liter container,
that's essentially about 50 ounces.
And then you do your conversion from there.
We're only going to add about three ounces,
which is just past the legs of the atomizer,
and then we'll fill the rest of it with clean water,
and then we can shake that solution together.
And then we can start the cleaning process.
So just by using a second Mister sprayer container,
we're just going to fill it up
and mix all that solution together.
And you can use this again with your favorite quick detail
sprays, lubricant, such as your clay luber,
and any kind of waterless wash solutions.
This way you're not using a 16 ounce bottle
or having to spray constantly,
simply pressurize the system and then hold the trigger down.
And it even has a locking mechanism.
So you don't have fatigue on your thumb,
making the whole detailing experience a lot more fun.
We're just going to start
by pressurizing the entire container.
And you can use EcoSmart on any surface
that's basically painted, shiny, or clear.
And essentially what that means is you can use it on your
glass, your Chrome, your panted surfaces, your wheels,
and even in the engine bay.
So let's get started.
So like I was mentioning, it's already pressurized,
and now we're just going to simply spray it onto the surface
and you can adjust the fan pattern
or stream pattern to your desire.
And we'll just give that a moment to dwell.
And that's going to start softening and emulsifying,
any abrasive particles, dust, B polling,
bird dropping, and water spots,
and I'm taking a clean microfiber towel.
We're just going to start here working our way out.
And as we're wiping, we're going to start rolling the towel,
creating a fresh edge,
which prevents the scratches and swirls installation.
You can see all the dirt that's actually
hanging onto the surface.
This car hides a lot because of how clean it looks
and also the light color,
but it's also very dirty, which you can't really tell.
Working in linear motions prevents
the installation of swirls.
So a lot of guys ask us why their cars have spider webbing
or they look kind of swirled.
And that's mostly because of the washing and drying process,
but by working in linear motions or straight lines,
you're preventing the insulation of swirls,
which give you that circular motion.
And since EcoSmart contains a little bit of wax,
we're going to come back and buff off any of the excess,
this prevents any kind of Hayes or streaks.
Now you can also use EcoSmart to clean your glass
in the same process that we were using to clean the body.
We're just going to spray directly onto the surface and
start wiping any of the excess and then just flip your towel
to buff away any of the wax and streaks.
And by leaving behind a little bit of wax,
it's going to make it harder for dust to stick to the
surface as well as any kind of water spots.
So this is going to keep your glass
looking cleaner for longer.
Now benefit to using a waterless wash solution,
such as EcoSmart is that an older vehicle
you don't know the condition of the seals,
or maybe the doors, or the hood doesn't line up very well.
So there's going to be gaps where it could potentially leak,
but by using a waterless wash solution,
you basically know exactly where all the solution is going.
So you don't have any kind of puddles or any kind of
messes that you creating,
simply spray it on and wipe it off.
Now like most vehicles from the fifties,
this car is just covered in Chrome and stainless
and just like the rest of the vehicle
it's covered in dust and fingerprints,
as well as any kind of things that land on the surface.
So just by using EcoSmart,
we're going to spray a fine mist and you can let that sit
there for just a moment.
And by letting it dwell,
you're reducing the chances of a brace of particles from
dragging and scratching to the Chrome work
or your sensitive surfaces.
We'll be using that same rolling technique.
We're preventing the dragging effect,
which causes scratches.
It also makes it a little easier to buff up any spent
product because by creating a new edge,
you're just picking up all the products at once.
Same thing on the bumper here,
we're just going to start wiping and rolling the towel,
come back and buff off any of the wax,
any missed areas
like these bumper bolts come back and wipe those off
and reveal that high shine.
So we're going to continue the same process on the rest of
the vehicle.
And we'll catch up with the guys in just a minute.
So now that the surface is nice and clean,
it feels really smooth,
but we want to mask any of those minor scratches and swirls,
as well as enhance that gloss,
which is why we're using wet mirror finish.
Now, this is a glaze that, like I mentioned,
mask any kind of minor scratches and swirls,
it enhances depth,
and our cars with Metallica or pearl effect
it's going to magnify that
and give it more of a deeper gloss.
So we're going to start by shaking the product,
just like we did with our EcoSmart
and any kind of glazed sealant or wax
can be applied by hand or machine.
And to make sure we've covered the entire surface because
this car has a lot of contours and a very strange body line.
We're going to be using our hand applicator pad,
just a regular microfiber applicator.
And we'll just apply a couple of dots to the pad and start
working our way around the vehicle,
blotching it out, and then spreading it out in a fine coat.
Start here on the same side of the hood
that we started by using EcoSmart.
And then we're just going to start working back and forth
again, using linear motions to ensure that we've
covered the entire service evenly,
this preventing kind of high spots,
it also prevents the missing of areas.
But this can be applied to any paint work that's gloss
finish, metallic as well.
And the main point of a glaze
it's just like makeup for your vehicle.
This is going to enhance that shine,
give it more depth overall.
And more importantly, it's going to be filling in
those minor scratches and swirls.
Now wet mirror finish only takes a moment to start
bonding, but you can allow it to sit for about 10 minutes.
That's when it's going to start hazing up
and then you'll come back with a clean microfiber towel
and just buff off any of the excess.
Now areas like this will be very difficult to get a polisher
in, which is why we're using a applicator pad by hand,
because we want to ensure that we're getting the same shine
over the entire vehicle,
but also there could be kind of minor scratch and swirls in
these little areas and valleys.
So we're going to give it that same level of gloss by using
wet mirror finish.
Wet mirror finish spreads very fine,
so you don't need a blotch out on the same area.
All this is going to do is ensure that you have enough
product to work in each panel
or the section that you're working on.
I've seen a lot of guys with a blotched out, such as this,
where you're essentially only putting it in one area.
So spread out that glaze and a nice even coat
covering more surface area.
This is going to save you a product.
And it also makes it easier on the buff off because a
thinner coat is going to be a lot easier to work with
because if you think about it only that first initial layer
that's touching the paint work,
or the surface is the only thing that's bonding,
everything else is being wasted that's wiped off.
So by applying a thinner coat and spreading it finer
you're saving product.
And again, it's going to save you time on that buff off.
So now that I've applied wet mirror finish,
and I've also given it plenty of time for it
to start curing on this side of the vehicle,
working clockwise around it,
we're going to take a clean microfiber towel and we'll start
wiping off the excess using a very plush clean
microfiber towel, these are the red line microfibers,
and this picks up any kind of quick detail sprays,
as well as waterless washes and your glaze sealant waxes,
or even your polishes that you've used on the vehicle.
In the same process you just want to
gently start wiping it away,
using linear motions, avoiding any kind of swirling action.
And that fine coat comes off nice and easy without applying
a lot of pressure or a lot of excess elbow grease,
which could potentially scratch the surface.
And that's going to save you product
as well as time and effort.
Now that glaze, like I mentioned,
is filling in any kind of minor scratches and swirls.
But again, this is going to overall give
your vehicle a smoother finish.
So already the paint where it feels nice and slick,
the towel just glides across,
and this is going to make it harder for dust and anything
that lands on the surface,
such as water spots, to cling to the surface.
And again,
this is going to keep your car looking cleaner for longer.
So the red line towel has two types of piles
where you have a short pile on one side,
which is great for buffing off spec product,
and a high side for a push pile,
which could be used to pick up any kind of polishes or your
glaze sealant wax combination for a scratch free finish.
So guys, as our final step today,
we're going to apply a very fine coat of wax using Lava,
luminous glow and fusion.
This is going to have a very vibrant glow.
As you see, this car has a very light color,
but it's also a very odd one.
So we're going to give it a coat of paste wax,
which is more traditional than your creams or liquids.
But what this is going to do
is give it a layer of protection.
That's going to repel harsh UV rays, but at the same time,
it's going to be increasing that vibrancy,
giving it more shine and more glow.
So we're going to start by opening the pot
and lava paste wax, just like many paste waxes,
can only be applied by hand,
so we're going to be using a UFO applicator pad.
And we're just going to start by dabbing some
out or melting some onto the applicator.
And then we'll go to the vehicle
and just start spreading it out.
Just like we did with the wet mirror finish,
working back and forth and linear motions,
and then just start working it in.
You can use that same cross-hatching pattern to ensure that
you haven't missed any areas, any high spots.
And the salt's going to make that coat very fine,
which again is going to save you product.
It saves you time on that buff off,
and it also makes it easier to work with.
A common question that we get
is what colors can you use with certain waxes?
There is no color chart that says this only works for
certain vehicles, so if you had any color vehicle,
you could use lava paste wax, if you so desired.
But we like using this on the warmer colors,
such as reds and yellows to increase that vibrancy and in a
car like this, which is more of like a minty green.
This is going to give that more vibrancy and more gloss.
Now lava only takes just a couple minutes,
to start bonding to the surface,
but we can allow about five minutes since we're working
inside of the garage today, where it's not super warm,
that's going to give them enough time
to start bonding and cure.
And then we can come back with a clean Microfiber towel
and start buffing it off.
