What's up guys welcome back to storage today's video is a continuation of the loved roach motel
You guys know this car from the previous video I did but the interior look absolutely atrocious
It's looking a lot better now, but as you guys can see the door sills are looking a little bit yucky
So we're gonna go ahead and bust out the steam cleaner for those I'm gonna clean up and protect all the door handles
We're gonna restore a lot of this trim
Especially on the roof rack on the door handles and you can see here
This gray is absolutely faded. And then the headlights are gonna need a deep clean as well
We're gonna clear all those up. If you liked today's video. Make sure you hit the subscribe button below turn on notifications because
This roach motel was an absolute disaster, but I have a car that I'm picking up
I'm hoping today after this video that's gonna be even worse. It's gonna top this. So what out further ado let's get started
If you guys are interested in any of the products that I discuss in today's video
Make sure you check out the links in description box below
So the first step is obviously to wash the car and I'm using the two bucket method here
I have grit guards in each bucket one is filled with just fresh water
And the other bucket is filled with my car shampoo and my wash meds
So the carb detailing is the engine bay cleaned
This is when I will knock it out
and the first step is obviously to spray it down with water and I like to spray the underneath in the
inside of the engine with as little amount as possible get any of the loose dirt off now before I take my all-purpose cleaner and
My soft bristle brush to scrub down the engine bay and get that dirt moving before. I rinse it off with those
One thing I recommend is to undo your positive and negative cables of your battery
Whether it's in your trunk underneath the seats or in the engine bay. Just undo power. Take the battery out
Whatever you need to do just to remove that from the circuit that way don't worry about any shorts
After rinsing the all-purpose cleaner off the engine bay
I'm gonna be letting it dry for the most part
but if there's any
Pockets of water or any liquid sitting there still I'm using my shop vac to suck up that water to remove it from the engine
Now that the engine bay is done now it is time to rinse off the outside of the vehicle before we start using the two
bucket method
When washing your car make sure you start at the top of the vehicle and then work your way down from a microfiber mitt
I like to use one side for one or two panels and then I will flip it over to do another two one or two
Panels as well
That way I can kind of maximize and not carry over any dirt across different areas of the vehicle
Once you've completed one set of panels with your sponge make sure you dip it into your fresh water bucket rinse it out
And then you can put into your soap bucket
That way you're not transferring any dirt over to the clean side and not transferring any dirt back to the paint as possible
Once I've washed the upper portions of the vehicle that is when I will go ahead and wash the bumpers the front and rear
The different kick panels and all the different side panels of the car that are on the lower
portions that get the most dirt and grime collected on them and for the rims and tires
I have a separate bucket of all my tools and soap
that I use just for those specific parts of the car because I know that they're gonna be extremely dirty and you don't want to
Carry that into your wash mitts that you use for your paint
Now that the car is completely washed go ahead and start at the top and then rinse your way down to get all the soap
Off the vehicle in any of that dirt that has been lifted to the surface of the car
So since this car is extremely dirty
this is the time to start getting into those different areas of the vehicle that need to be deep cleaned and in particularly here you
can tell the gas cap area is
Super dirty and I'm go ahead and carved my initials here into the gas cap in the actual layers of dirt
The steam cleaner comes in handy for some of the stuff that's really caked on here
It really helps with getting it loosened up and then using your bristle brush to kind of move it along
This is one portion of the car that most people might overlook and not actually clean
But you spend a lot of time actually getting gas filling up your car
And this is one of those areas that keeping clean and keeping any dirt from going into your fuel tank and just from aesthetic standpoint
Make sure you clean inside your gas cap
Now it's time to do the rocker panels in the inside of the door frames
I typically do these on interior details
But in this case if you guys saw the roach motel
Video from the beginning there's a lot more work to do than worrying about these areas
So so for this detail, I'm actually doing the door jams now
One thing I try to show is that steam cleaners are good for a lot of caked on dirt in certain portions of a detail
Whereas an all-purpose cleaner might get the job done as well
So what I try to show is like a blend of both and then also showing that in some cases
Using both at the same time comes in handy
So in this case, you can see there's some grease that I can get off with all-purpose cleaner
But then inside of the nuts and bolts in different areas that is hard to reach with it
Just a rag the steam cleaner will blow that dirt out and make sure that you can wipe it up after
So now we've got all the door dams taking care of it is now time to clean up these headlights
What I'm using is this is my Harbor Freight polisher an orange Pat and then i'm using the Sonax perfect shine
Which is a great
One-step polish for paint and also it does a really good job with cleaning these headlights here
You can see after just one pass how well these things cleaned up
Real quick guys, like look you see that headlight that's after one pass
And that's the other one on the decide just one pass
That's the result time for past two. Now. There's many ways to clear headlights
There's many coatings and many different things that you can do to clear them up
But this is just one way that you can do it quick and easy
It literally took me maybe 15 minutes to do both headlights, and it's a great one-step process
Just to get that haze and the yellowing off your headlights and increase the performance of your lighting
Now that the polishing is done I like to top the headlights with some sort of protectant and here I'm just using
Chemical Guys butter wax it's a simple way to do it to protect the headlights to clear them up and make sure that they beat
water
So for the exterior trim, I'm actually using Chemical Guys silk and shine
This is a product that I've used on every interior job
You guys hear me talk about this product all the time, but it also has a UV protectant in it
And it's great for outside as well. So I'm using here on all the great trim
I'm also going to be using on the tires as well for that flat matte
Deep shine that I like so much on the interior panels
My favorite part is it definitely laughs between each washing and it also does a really good job of going on and then drying in
a very even and uniform pattern
So for the door handle in the back trim, I'm actually using those foam brushes that you guys seem to use on the inside
they're great for doing edging around all the different pieces and getting to all the different little nooks and crannies that it would be really
Hard to get to with just a microfiber towel
And
For the engine BAM using silk and shine as well. It is a great product all across the board for any plastic trim
So here I'm going to spray it liberally across the engine bay
And then I'm just using a microfiber towel to wipe down and evenly apply it across the engine
Sometimes for exterior windows, sometimes those can be a coating across them that needs to be cleaned off first and here
I'm actually just using a clay bar to remove any of those contaminants on the surface
before following up with invisible glass to clean off each window
One thing I highly recommend is if you haven't protecting your paint in a while or if it has been a long time since you've
applied any topper coat
Definitely clay your car clay barn is one of the best things that you can do before you put any topcoat on to remove any
Contaminants and you can see here. How much was removed in just one pass on the hood?
So I would recommend going around the entire
Car and clay it and then I'm gonna be using the Chemical Guys butter wax as a topper coat
Which I find to be a really great wax to make a white car shine and if you guys notice in the background
There's a special vehicle there. And that is the next disaster clean. It's gonna be amazing. So get ready for it
Make sure you subscribed if you're not so already because it is going to be a really really tough job for me
But it's going to turn out amazing once it's done
And
Here are the end

Of a job. So if you haven't seen the interior detail of this car make sure you go. Check it out
