- So you may still be asking yourself,
what's the perfect gift for mom?
Well, if you love detailing and you love your mom,
you all know that she'll love a freshly detailed car.
So that's what we're gonna be talking over today.
We're gonna be showing you guys how to go ahead
and detail your car, make it look good,
make her appreciate it and show her that she's appreciated
and being that special person in your life.
(upbeat music)
So first things first, the wash.
Now today we're gonna be washing our vehicle
with citrus wash and gloss.
Now the reason we chose this soap is because citrus wash
and gloss works out great for heavy grime
and enhancing a nice high gloss detailed look
even without having to wax or polish the paint.
So if your mom's car has not been detailed,
you have not detailed it in a while
or maybe she hasn't detailed it in a while
because she's too busy being a mom.
This is a perfect soap for her.
So we're gonna be utilizing this soap to like I said,
knock down any kind of heavy grime and enhancing
that high gloss shine.
Also we're gonna be using it with our two bucket method here
and our chenille wash mitt
Like I said, we're gonna be utilizing
our two bucket wash method.
So I'm gonna go ahead and kind of set these down for a bit,
so you guys can see what I'm talking about.
Now, the two bucket wash method consists of two dirt traps.
So these go at the bottom of your bucket
and these act as a filtration system for your buckets
and your rinse and soap solution so
that you don't install any scratches or swirls on mom's car.
We're also gonna be using our torq foam blaster 6.
Now having a pressure washer, a foam cannon,
it can be kind of tedious with all these hoses
and fittings and everything.
So we thought we'd kind of keep it simple today
and use our torq foam blaster 6.
Now this is great because it connects
to your standard garden hose.
So like I said, you don't need nothing fancy,
just plug it into your garden hose and you're good to go.
So what you wanna do,
fill this up with water, we already filled it up with water.
I'm gonna set that right there in the middle.
Hopefully it doesn't tip over,
get your citrus wash and gloss
and you only wanna put about an ounce, two ounces
depending on the filth of the vehicle.
For this vehicle, I think one ounce is more than enough.
So that's equivalent to one good squirt
and we're good to go.
So I'll close that up.
I'll put my phone blaster nozzle on the top, twist it shut
and then with this right here
all you wanna do is stir it, don't shake it
because you don't want it to foam inside.
Plug it into your garden hose gun
which is already connected to my garden hose
and you're good to start foaming.
Now that you're ready to start foaming,
you're gonna want to go ahead
and dedicate one of these buckets to your soap bucket.
So I'm gonna dedicate the one
with the blue dirt trap as my soap bucket,
so I'm just gonna give it one good squirt
and we're good to go.
Next, I'm gonna go in and get my wash mitt.
I'm gonna go ahead and dunk that into there.
Oh, I overfilled the bucket there, it's okay
then, it's kind of redundant that I plugged it in
but I got too excited but now we're gonna go
and disconnect that, stick our hose into the soap bucket
to go ahead and foam up an activate our solution.
So now that our solution is all foamed up and lubricated.
Now we're gonna go ahead and give the car a pre-rinse
to knock off any kind of loose dirt and debris
and continue with the wash process.
(soft music)
Alright guys, so now the car is all rinsed up.
Now we're gonna go ahead and connect our foam blaster.
Now this is a quick connect,
so all you gotta do is pull it back,
push it in, snap it in, you're good to go.
Now this dial on top
actually lets you control the soap level.
So if you want the maximum possible, throw it on five,
if you wanna wash multiple cars
and you don't wanna kill through one whole bottle
just to go ahead and foam up your car once,
I would recommend going on the three or even two setting
and this would allow more water
instead of a soap kind of ratio.
So in essence, you get more of a sudsy kind of soap
instead of more of a thick foam.
So I'm gonna go ahead and throw that on five again
and let's start foaming
(upbeat music)
Alright, so now that we've finished foaming the car,
now it's time to proceed with our contact wash.
Now I'm gonna go and grab my chenille wash mitt here
that's in my soap bucket
and as always get it nice and saturated with some soap
and we're gonna start at the top of the car.
Remember, as always straight motions.
You don't wanna mimic a circular motion
because if anything gets caught on your wash mitt,
you can potentially start scratching up the paint.
Like I said, we're trying to detail mom's car,
we're not trying to scratch mom's car.
So up and down, left to right, whichever motion you like,
as long as it's straight, you're good to go.
I'll proceed with doing the rest of the vehicle.
Once we're done with the vehicle,
we're gonna go to rinse it off
and show you guys the drying process.
(soft music)
Alright guys, so now that we've done a nice area,
we did the roof, the half of the front windshield
and half of the hood,
we're gonna go to our rinse bucket here.
Like I said, we have our dirt traps in here.
So we're gonna go in
and push our wash mitt towards the bottom
and we're gonna go ahead and kind of give it a scrub
and the dirt trap does kind of have like some ridges on it.
So that kind of helps knock off any kind of dirt, debris
that gets stuck in your wash mitt, exfoliates it.
It's nice and clean and it's ready for us to go ahead
and get it back into our soap bucket
and get back on our car.
I usually like to kind of wring it out real good
and then like I said, come back to my soap bucket here.
Get some nice suds going on, nice thick suds right there
and then I'll come back to the hood
or the second half of the roof and remember straight lines.
I'm kind of going front to back now
but like I said, it doesn't matter
as long as you're going in straight motions.
So go ahead and get half of that roof done.
We've already done the other half.
I'll do the front windshield now.
Like I said, this car right here, it's not so dirty.
It only had like a light layer of grime,
which you know citrus wash and gloss will go ahead
and take care of, no problem.
And then once you get towards like a hood,
you can also flip your wash mitt
and do use the other side.
Use the other side of your wash mitt,
go up and down.
Like I said, straight motions does it,
don't mimic a circular motion,
back to our rinse bucket, do the same rinse process.
Soap, back to the car.
We're gonna go ahead
and proceed with doing the rest of the vehicle
and we'll be back once it's done
(soft music)
All right, so now that we're done rinsing the car,
now we're gonna proceed to drying it.
My towel of choice today is going to be the miracle dryer.
Now the reason I love this towel is
because it's lightweight,
though it's super plush and super soft.
So it's gonna soak up all the water that's on the vehicle,
and it's nice and lightweight so I can go ahead
and quickly dry this entire small little vehicle
in a matter of minutes.
(soft music)
Alright guys, so now we're in the interior.
I see that there's a lot of dirt.
There's a lot of fine hairs, we have a lot of debris
that's on the carpet and the floor mats.
So the first thing we're gonna go ahead
and do is we're gonna go ahead
and vacuum the interior of the vehicle
and then we're gonna come back once it's all vacuumed,
so that we can show you guys the next steps
and detailing the interior of this vehicle.
(soft music)
So now that we're done vacuuming the carpets and upholstery,
now I'm gonna go ahead and apply a coat of fabric guard.
Now fabric guard is an excellent product
for your mom's vehicle
especially if you have kids in the vehicle simply
because this is a water repellent on fabric.
So what this is gonna go ahead and do,
it's gonna lay a shield of protection on any kind of fabric
and upholstery in your interior so
that any kind of water, juices, stuff like that
doesn't stain the actual surface of your fabric so
that you have time to go in and scoop it right up
with a microfiber towel or just repel it in general so
that it doesn't leave any kind of nasty stains.
So this is very easy to use,
all you wanna do is shake it up.
Give it a good shake so
that the product mixes well.
Remember, this is a (mumbles) base property.
So you wanna make sure that the product mixes nicely
and then all you wanna do is on a clean surface,
on the clean fabric material,
all you wanna do is do a light coat.
Do a light coat, that's more than enough
and now I'm gonna go and let that sit for 20 minutes.
And then in another 20 minutes, I'm gonna go and come back
and apply a secondary coat.
Let that dry and you're good to go.
(soft music)
So now that we're done with that, we're gonna go ahead
and head off to our next step
which is cleaning the interior with innerclean.
Now something that I love using
especially when you're working on a vehicle
that has tons of surfaces.
Here on this car you have your steering wheel,
you have some plastic, you have some vinyl,
you have a navigation screen,
you have a lot of sensitive buttons and shift knob
and e-breaks, so you have a lot of these surfaces
that you're working on.
Like I said, one product that I love using is innerclean.
Innerclean works out great because it's gonna go ahead
and clean and enhance these surfaces
from any kind of light dust, debris, fingerprints,
oils, body oils, stuff like that,
stuff you would find in your typical mom's car,
crumbs, food, stains, whatever it is,
innerclean is gonna be there for you.
This is gonna work out great to go ahead
and clean it in one single step
and using a few microfiber towels.
All you wanna do
and how I use it is simply spray some on a towel.
I love spraying them on a towel
because it lets me be in control of the product.
So some of the key areas
that I'm gonna focus on are the stuff
that you look at when you drive,
so such as your dashboard.
So we're gonna go and wipe off the dashboard.
I don't know if you guys can see it on camera,
but you have a lot of fine dust,
you have what seems to look like she has a dog
or a cat, who knows
or maybe just some very hairy kids, who knows
but like I said, this is gonna go in and pick up all
that dirt, grime, debris
and you can also use this on your steering wheel.
A lot of the high traffic areas such
as your windshield wipers, your blinker,
your steering wheel,
any kind of buttons on your steering wheel.
So this is gonna go ahead and clean it and enhance it.
Innerclean does kind of leave a light sheen
to your interior surfaces.
It doesn't leave like a nasty
kind of like very greasy wet look.
It honestly leaves like a nice sheen,
kind of brand new car look
and that's one of the reasons why I love innerclean
and why I highly recommend you guys use it
to wipe down your interior.
Like I said, I just cleaned the dashboard,
I cleaned all this area of the steering wheel,
and I'm gonna proceed to the other areas right here
such as the navigation screen.
You go ahead and use it to wipe that surface,
your buttons of course and any kind of other areas such
as your start and stop button, your shift knob area.
You know always make sure to get
in the details right here with your towel
and you can also use these products
with their all in the details brush set for the interior,
which works out amazing to get all the dust
and stuff out of the cracks.
But like I said, innerclean is gonna work out great
to just give it a simple wipe down.
Like I said, if we wanted to go the full eight miles,
we can go ahead and pretty much pull out the nonsense
and the fabric clean and all that good stuff
and clean the carpets
but we're trying to keep it simple for you guys,
something just so you guys can go ahead
and do for your own mum's vehicle.
You got some chips right there.
We're gonna go ahead and put those away
and I'm just gonna make sure
that we clean all the areas as we can.
You can always spray some more, clean your cup holder areas.
Like I said, this works out great
for all these types of surfaces.
Especially your armrest right here
because your armrest is pretty much,
where she's gonna be setting her arms.
So all this area right here collects a lot of body oils
that you wanna make sure that you clean up
because then it leaves a nasty greasy look
and it also leaves the body oils as well,
especially if you're a very cautious driver,
you wanna make sure that all
of your interior surfaces are oil free,
so that you're not slipping and sliding all over the place
and it makes it look a lot more presentable,
a lot more clean.
You can flip it to a dry side, buff off any excess
and boom, looks nice and new, an OEM look and did I mention
that this product has a beautiful piña colada scent?
So if your mom loves piña coladas,
she's gonna love innerclean.
Alright guys, so now that we're done detailing the interior,
it's nice and clean but it's missing something.
It's missing a kick of a fresh air freshener
and today's choice is gonna be mom's pound cake.
What better way to commemorate Mother's Day
than spraying some mom's pound cake in your interior.
Now I love this air freshener
because it has a fresh vanilla citrus scent.
So it gives a nice clean and a sweet scent.
So if you're a big fan of
that kind of bittersweet kind of smell,
this is a perfect air freshener for you.
Now I'm gonna show you guys how
to maximize your efficiency, smell
and longevity of your air freshener
by just using a few simple steps.
Step one, open your sprayer.
Step two, we're gonna go ahead and turn on the vehicle.
Now, we're gonna go ahead and turn on our AC.
So what we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead
and throw that up on max,
we're gonna go ahead and throw in our recirculation,
and we're gonna go ahead and throw it on cold just
because it's kind of a warm day.
So now that we have that going on,
what that means is that it's circulating air
from the bottom of your car
and recirculating it throughout the rest of your vehicle.
So instead of me going crazy spraying it
on every single surface,
I'm gonna go in and simply spray it
at the bottom of my driver and passenger side seat
and the AC system is gonna do the rest.
It's gonna go and circulate the air freshener
throughout the car.
So like I said, I'm not going in all parts of the vehicle,
going crazy spraying.
So like I said, simple sprays,
all you gotta do, spray two or three sprays per side
and that's gonna go in a suck up that air
and that air freshener and its gonna go
and kill out any kind of bacteria, germs
that's in your AC system.
It's already hitting me.
It smells great.
Now I'm gonna go to the driver side to go ahead
and just pretty much coat the entire vehicle.
Three, that's more than enough.
Now I'm gonna go in and let that kind of do its job.
I usually leave the car running for a few minutes,
two, three minutes max.
Let that kind of do his job.
If you wanna sit in here and bask in that essence,
then go ahead, if you don't then just simply stand outside,
let the car do its job and come back in two, three minutes
and you're good to go.
Now I'm gonna go and stop the vehicle.
It's still recycling that smell, it smells great.
That's gonna get annoying.
Alright guys, so now we're done.
We've cleaned the entire vehicle, we've washed the exterior,
we went ahead and cleaned the interior.
We wiped down the floor mats, we vacuumed the floor mats,
we pretty much did the whole shebang
as far as like a general, nice detail
that's gonna go ahead
and make mom feel happy and appreciated.
Like I said, we weren't going for perfection here.
Obviously if we were gonna pull out the big guns,
we would have pulled out the foam cannon
and the polisher and all that stuff
but this is just something simple
that you can go ahead and do for your Mother's day,
to show your mom your appreciation
and gratitude towards her.
So I'm gonna go ahead and do my mom's car next.
So like I said, this was just a few things
that you guys can do for mom
and you guys can do this from home.
It's a simple gift.
A lot of you guys love detailing, why not detail something
that's gonna matter like your mom, put a smile on her face,
show her that gratitude and love and support
that she shows you.
