What's up guys welcome back to the Detail Garage!
Today we've got this awesome yellow Ferrari.
We really want to make the yellow finish pop so we are going to wash it.
It is covered in a light layer of dust because it has been sitting in a shop for about a
month now.
The owner of it just put these rims on it and he is getting ready to take it to the
race track so we want to clean off the whole car and get it looking its best.
Over here I've got my two buckets set up.
I'm going to use our brand new Snow Foamer Foam Cannon and this produces more suds with
less PSI.
So for those of you guys that use electric pressure washers this will come in handy.
All you need to do, load up the Foam Cannon with an ounce of soap.
I'll be using our Glossworkz Auto Bath and this is going to help a lot of foam which
is going to help lubricate as we wash so we don't install any new scratches or swirls.
Next, I'll mix this all together.
For those of you that have a Foam Cannon and wondering why it's not producing enough foam
you can try adding warm water.
This is just regular cold tap water but using warm water is going to help it foam a little
bit better.
Now I'll insert our Dirt Traps into each bucket.
Like I mention I'm using the two bucket method, so I have one Dirt Trap for our wash and I'll
insert it at an angle and press it all the way down to the bottom this way you don't
trap any air underneath it.
As you press it to the bottom it will create a seal at the bottom of the bucket which will
prevent any dirt from coming back into the wash solution.
Over here is my rinse bucket and I'll place another Dirt Trap in there but using the same
process, place it in at an angle and press it all the way to the bottom and this is going
to help keep as much dirt off of your vehicle.
So now that the buckets are set up lets move on to the car.
When it pulled in it had some type of dressing on the tire and I want to get that off of
there because although it looks really shiny it has collected a lot of dirt and debris
making it really dirty.
So I'll use some Sticky Wheel Gel and this is going to break off any of that road grime
and old dressings to make it easier to clean.
We'll let this sit on the surface so it can cut through the layers of road grime and old
dressings and when we foam the car we'll use a brush to scrub all the grime off.
The reason why I want to get rid of this old dressing is because one it looks really greasy
and oily which is collecting grime and two it is slinging off onto the paint which looks
bad and it can harm the finish.
So we'll clean it all off and then later on we'll apply a water based dressing so it'll
be dry-to-the touch but it will still have a deep rich black shine.
Now that I'm finished spraying down the wheels using the Sticky Wheel Gel it has helped breakdown
any grime and dressing which will make it easier to clean later on.
Lets rinse down the entire vehicle and then we can foam it up and that is going to pick
up any loose dirt and debris that way we don't scratch the surface.
So I've just finished scrubbing off the old tire dressing and grime from the tire and
it looks a lot better.
I'm going to rinse off the rest of the vehicle to knock off the dirt and debris this way
we don't scratch the finish.
After rinsing off the initial layer of foam I'll take my wash mitt and dunk it in my soap
bucket which has a lot of foam in it that helps lubricate as we wash.
I'll start at the highest point and working in straight lines we will avoid the risk of
installing swirls or scratches.
I've already knocked off the dirt and debris and using the foam I cleaned it up without
scratching it.
If you noticed I was using my second bucket and I was dunking the wash mitt all the way
to the bottom to help release all of the dirt that is in the noodles of the wash mitt and
it will trap it all under the cones to avoid bringing it back on the vehicle.
Also to keep as much of the dirt out I'm wringing it out on the ground.
To finish it off we need to rinse it and then we will dry it for a spot free shine.
