- Hey, what's up guys?
Welcome back to Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Today we have this beautiful GMC Yukon in the shop.
And today I'll be showing you guys
how to properly clean up any gloss black wheels
using a single product,
which is Rinse-free.
Rinse-free is actually a soap.
It does not foam up.
Simply, it's all in the name.
You use it,
and you don't have to rinse it off.
That's right.
So, I already have a bucket of water right here
and I actually have a chenille wash mitt.
The reason why I'm going with a chenille wash mitt
is because gloss black wheels tend to scratch easily.
This brake dust that you see on here, sitting on here,
or this white stuff on it,
it's technically already scratching it
because they're very delicate.
Just like black cars in general,
they show everything,
just like black wheels.
So, I'm just simply gonna run my finger right here,
and you can see the big difference.
It has grime, debris,
all sorts of nasty stuff on it.
So to begin,
I'll go ahead and get Rinse-free,
shake it up,
and all I'm gonna do is simply apply,
(splashing)
two ounces into my wheel bucket.
And Rinse-free can also be used all around the car.
So you don't have running water
but you can have,
get your hands on some type of water.
So simply go ahead and get a bucket of water,
and then you'll go ahead and stir it.
Like I said, Rinse-free is not going
to go ahead and foam up.
So, I'll go ahead and get my wash mitt,
wring it out in them.
And to be extra cautious,
if you don't want to have water spilled everywhere,
this is why I have a secondary bucket.
So it's, it has some type of water.
I'll wring it out in here.
Then I'll go to my wheel,
and I'll scrub it out.
You might want to start from top to bottom.
And this ensures you don't have,
you don't have to work double.
Don't work against gravity.
So on very sensitive wheels that could be gloss black
or even Tesla wheels are very expensive wheels,
brake dust tends to go ahead and penetrate 'em
and make 'em look very nasty.
So simply I already have a Dirt Trap at the bottom.
I'm going to go ahead and run my wash mitt at the bottom,
come back to this secondary bucket,
and wring it out here
(water splashing)
just so I could avoid water running off everywhere.
So now I have another clean side,
go ahead and get my Rinse-free.
(water splashing)
And this could be done inside, outside,
and I'm also on my Creeper Bucket Dolly.
The reason why, it saves my knees from me,
squatting down hurting my knee.
So just scrub 'em out
and the Chenille Wash Mint
has these noodle like textures to it
that encapsulate all the dirt and grime in it.
Just scrub it out.
Come back and same exact thing.
Rub it at the bottom of the Dirt Trap
to release all the grime and debris.
(water pouring)
And after I actually finish cleaning this wheel,
I'll show you guys how to properly degrease it
and protect it using a Wheel Wax.
So come back this way,
and I'll get in the cracks and crevices.
(mumbles)
And to get the barrel, ill simply go ahead.
Use my wash mitt like so.
Get it out.
I am wearing gloves
because there is a lot of dirt and grime
and I don't want to get my hands dirty.
So rub it out,
make sure all the grime is out.
(splashing)
So now I'll get the,
top of the barrel.
And it is very difficult to work around the spokes.
But cool technique I do, is I put the wash mitt inside
and I go to a different spoke
and I go ahead and push it up.
Look at that guys,
all that grime and debris coming out of this wheel.
That brake dust actually makes the wheel look very opaque
and tarnishes a wheel finish.
So if you don't take care of gloss black wheels over time,
they'll just look ashy, brown
and not the true color that you once got 'em,
which were gloss black.
So rub her down,
(splashing)
Get the bottom
(splashing)
come back, and I'm gonna give it one last pass
on the face of the wheel.
Just so I can make sure everything is completely clean.
The valve stem.
And these are big wheels,
like I said they're 24 inch wheels.
Very big and they're very flashy.
So you see it rolling down the streets.
You'll notice that their wheels or these types of wheels
are tarnished because they haven't been cleaned in a while.
So now, simply I'll go ahead and get a microfiber towel.
I do not have to rinse it off.
Once it's already on there, it's ready to go
just simply wipe it off using a clean microfiber towel.
If you do have a blower on hand,
you simply could blow it all off, but
most of people do not have blowers at home.
So you could just simply use a microfiber towel
to remove the excess.
Flip it to a clean side.
Get the valves stem.
And just with a single wash using Rinse-free,
you see a very, very big difference.
You could go ahead and use
brushes onto gloss black wheels.
I completely recommend it.
But in this occasion, since Rinse-free does not foam up,
I wouldn't wanna be using brushes
because I'm not going to get the extra lubrication power
that Diablo wheel gel will go ahead and give me.
I'm actually spilling some water into my gloves
lemme take 'em off.
Look at that difference.
And Rinse-free like I said, can be used all over the car
on plastics, painted plastics, raw plastics, wheels, paint.
So now, I went ahead and cleaned it all up.
It's completely clean.
Now go ahead and degrease the tire.
And then after I'll go ahead and coat it
with a wheel guard wax.
So to degrease the tire, Imma be using nonsense.
Nonsense is all purpose cleaner, like I said.
It could be used interior, exterior,
undercarriage, engine bay.
In multiple videos I've been saying it.
So simply all you want to do is spray onto the tire.
And I'll spray onto my nifty brush.
For extra lubrication power
and all you want to do is just scrub back and forth.
(brush squeaking)
Nonsense starts removing all the grime, debris
that this tire has been through,
to ensure a proper bond from the (mumbles)
I'll be using today.
(brush squeaking)
Just like that, I'll get my microfiber towel
I went ahead and use on my wheel.
Just so I won't waste a clean microfiber towel.
Look at that.
(squeaking)
And if you do get a little bit over spray from Nonsense,
simply go ahead and get a clean microfiber towel
and just buff it right off.
So now we're gonna move on to the wheel guard section.
Wheel Guard is a specialty wheel wax
that enhances the shine of a wheel
from powder coated chrome aluminum anodized.
Simply all you want to do before using it,
stir it a little bit and you'll go ahead open it up.
And there's this very cool orange color.
And I'll be using a wheel wedge to apply it.
The wheel wedge also has a bug side to it.
So if you do have bugs on your front of the grill,
simply use it this way.
But in occasion, I'll be using the microfiber side.
The wheel wedge virtually fits anywhere.
If you have very tight spokes,
simply apply it.
So all you wanna do is get a little bit,
and what I like to do I blotch it out,
just so I could get an even spread
and not a heavy coat in just one area.
So get a little bit more since they are big wheels,
and Magical Wheel Guard is going to go ahead
and enhance the shine.
Protect it from any filth, make cleaning easier,
and it was driving down the street
and if it gets brake dust,
it's still gonna sit on it
but it's gonna make cleaning a lot, a lot easier.
So rub it on.
This is gonna ensure
the harsh elements do not damage the wheel finish.
Especially right now in California.
It's kinda weird.
It never rains.
But we're actually having a very rainy season right now.
A very rainy week.
Tomorrow supposed to rain again.
So I want to ensure this GMC Yukon
is protected from the rain.
It reduces water spots, reduces the opaque look
and keeps 'em shiny.
So I'll go and let that sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, I'll go ahead and dress up the tire.
Put that back there.
And if you guys notice,
a very little bit goes a very long way.
Now I'll be using my foam applicator
to go ahead and apply a dressing.
If you do have low profile tires,
simply all we're tryin' to do is squeeze it
and cut it with some scissors.
But if you do not have low profile tires,
this applicator will contour to any surface.
So this is why I wanted to choose this.
Like I said it is raining in California right now,
so I'll be going with oil based dressing such as
Tire & Trim Gel.
Tire & Trim Gel is oil based dressing
that can be used on all exterior plastics and rubbers.
Do not use it on interior.
For interior recommend using a water based dressing.
I'll go ahead and apply two lines,
blotch it out in the area I'll be working on.
And if you need a little bit more,
don't be scared to apply a little bit more.
(tire squeaking)
But I always like to start off with a little bit,
work it around and start to see the big difference.
Like if I need more, I'll go ahead and apply more.
So rub it on.
(tire squeaking)
Because if you apply a little bit too much
and you have a lot of runoff,
you might drive off and sling,
so that's why I actually went ahead
and de-greased the tire too.
One, it allows a proper bond,
two it doesn't allow splatter,
like all of this is splatter from previous tire dressing
and that's what I do not want to do today.
So rub it on. (tire squeaking)
Tire & Trim Gel gives you this amazing shine,
this show like shine to it,
like this wow factor.
Especially on gloss black wheels.
You have glossy wheels you have to have glossy tires.
So I'll go ahead and let this sit a couple more minutes
and I'll see you guys when it's time to wipe it off.
So now, it's been 10 to 15 minutes,
it's time to Max Coat Wheel Guard
to give it an amazing shine.
So start from the top, get a clean microfiber towel.
And Max Coat Wheel Guard simply buffs with no effort.
Like no elbow grease.
Just simply wipe it right off
and you automatically start seeing
the enhancement of the shine that it delivers.
This wheel is going to be protected
if water spots get on it.
It's not gonna embed into it,
not gonna damage the wheel finish.
Whoops.
Just look at that guys.
It's a perfect combo with the shiny tire,
shiny wheels, it's protected.
If it drives off right now,
it's gonna show that show car shine.
So, flip it over to a clean side,
just buff off any residue.
And this can be done anywhere indoors, outdoors.
You don't have to have a hose running anywhere.
Buff it out,
and just take out that amazing shine.
If I go ahead and roll my fingers on it,
the surface is very smooth.
That's because the pores of Wheel Guard
went ahead and penetrated.
It's protecting it and gave it this amazing shine,
a crazy before and after.
Came with ashy tired dull face of the wheel.
