- Hey, what's up guys.
Welcome back to Chemical Guy detail garage.
Today we have this wide 370z Nismo in the shop.
It's severely neglected, apparently
the owner left it outside for two weeks without moving it.
And what happened those two weeks?
So fallout dirt, grime, debris
landed on the surface of the vehicle.
And now it left rough spots.
A lot of people know that own white vehicles,
you see these brown little specks all over your car,
that is rough spots or iron deposits.
So today in this video,
I'm gonna show you guys how to properly wash it,
then we're gonna remove it.
Let's get to it.
So before we go ahead and start removing the rough spots
from the surface of the paint,
it's time to wash it.
We recommend to wash it,
to remove every dirt, grime, debris,
off the surface of the vehicle,
whether it's with a waterless wash or a foam cannon,
or even just the two bucket method.
In this occasion,
I went ahead and use the two-bucket method
because this car has severely grime on it.
It's got left out.
If I come close
under the hood,
there's like this moldish blackish looking color to it.
And that is all grime that's actually deceiving
the look of the vehicle.
So what ends up happening,
if I don't move as safely
and easily as possible,
I might scratch the surface of the vehicle.
But nonetheless, if I go ahead and hit it with my clay bar,
I might be rubbing all that grime into the paint
which causes more scratches.
Luckily it's a white color car,
so you won't see as many scratches and swirls,
but when it comes into light
you'll start seeing all the imperfections in the paint.
So before I get started,
I have my two bucket method system set up
the choice of soap today,
I'll be using a citrus washing gloss.
The reason why I want a citrus washing gloss
is because I want high foam
while stripping everything I saw
on the surface of the vehicle.
Yes, that is correct.
This is washing gloss.
Can also strip glazes, ceilings
and waxes off the surface of the vehicle.
How do you know when you're stripping?
You will only strip if you're using three ounces
with citrus washing gloss.
If you want to use it more as a maintenance wash,
we recommend only using one ounce.
So before using it, shake it up.
Once you get this amazing, beautiful, neon color
that means that you have the perfect mixture to it.
Open up the spout and apply.
The reason why I went ahead
and applied a lot is because I want to strip.
If it was just more for a maintenance wash,
I'll just use one ounce.
And that is how severely concentrated
citrus washing gloss is.
It can remove stuff from the vehicle.
So before anything put the cap on so I will not spill it.
After you have the mixture in your foam cannon,
do not shake it.
The reason behind it is
you'll cause foam inside the foam cannon,
And you want to get more foam out of it
as much as possible.
So I'll put this back here
and now I have my two bucket method system set up
with my dirt traps.
The reason why I'm gonna use dirt trap
is so I could filter while I wash.
So I won't be installing any more scratch and swirls
into the surface of the vehicle.
Whenever you're applying a dirt trap,
always apply them at an angle
so you could go ahead and
cause a perfect seal at the bottom
and when you're washing it doesn't rise back up.
So now I have a green dirt trap and a black dirt trap.
This is the time where I go ahead and choose,
do I want the green one to be my wash bucket?
Or do I want my black one to be my wash bucket?
But just to keep it simple,
I'll use my right to keep my wash
and black will be my rinse bucket.
So I'll add one ounce of citrus washing gloss into here,
and then the choice of wash mitt today will be
the chenille wash mitt.
The reason why I went with the chenille wash mitt
is because it has these very super soft noodles,
that's actually going to go in and capsulate all the grime
dirt that's going to be
pulling off from the surface of the vehicle,
into these noodles.
And won't let it fall back into it
because it's basically like a trap.
Whenever I come back to my rinse bucket,
I'll scrub it down at the bottom of the dirt trap.
It's going to go and loosen them all up
and then I'll have a clean wash mitt once again.
Before I go ahead and start foaming,
I'm actually going to go and rinse it off
just to knock off any loose common debris
on the surface of the vehicle.
So let's get started.
(upbeat electronic music)
Before I go in and start foaming up this 370 Nismo,
I just want to show you guys the beading effect
that the paint actually has.
So if you guys come close,
I'll spray it down with my Torq Snubby
and you guys can see this paint has no type of beading
it just drags.
This is what you do not want on your paint.
Because what ends up happening is
if your paint is just causing water to drag on it,
the tension of the water is going to make it
a little more difficult for you to dry,
and nonetheless, it's going to trap more dirt and debris.
Whenever your car is fully protected
and it has beading action, the water just tends to glide off
you reduce water spots,
and you do not tend to get these
rough spots all around the surface of the vehicle.
So now let's get foaming.
(mellow electronic music)
So I just finished foaming up the surface of the vehicle.
Now I actually let it dwell on the surface
for one to two minutes, but remember guys,
if you guys are washing with filtered or deionized water,
you guys can go ahead and let it
dwell on the surface of the vehicle.
If you're using well water, which is very hard water,
we do not recommend letting this sit
on the surface of the vehicle.
Just rinse it off or start scrubbing.
So now, I'm actually going to go and get my
chenille wash mitt so I can start scrubbing it.
I'll get my chenille wash mitt, come to my wash bucket,
make sure it's all sudsy and foamy.
And now I'll go to the highest point of the vehicle
and I'll scrub in one direction.
So in linear motions, just like so.
This reduces the chances of you scratching
the surface of the vehicle
and installing any more scratches and swirls.
Flip over my wash mitt,
same exact thing.
So right now that I'm actually scrubbing the vehicle,
I feel a drag to it, and that is all the grime, the fallout,
the rough spots that are actually on
the surface of the vehicle.
If you guys look closely, you guys can see it.
And that is all contamination
that clogs the pores of the paint,
which deceives the look of the car and
on a white colored car, when you get this,
it makes the car look yellowish,
not that ultra white that everybody wants.
So I'll go back to my rinse bucket,
scrub it at the bottom
just so I can get everything out.
Once it's fully scrubbed, I'll come outside,
I'll ring it out just to remove all the grime.
And now we'll go to my wash bucket
and repeat the same exact thing around
the whole entire surface of the vehicle.
(mellow electronic music)
So the vehicle is now clean.
Now it's time to clay bar, but that's going to be part two.
So make sure to tune in next time
where I clay bar the surface the vehicle, remove it,
and then I enhance the paint to look its best.
