- Hey, what's up guys.
Welcome back to Chemical Guys detail garage.
Today, we have a 2019 RAV4.
It looks brand new, it is brand new, but unfortunately
it has a lot of contamination on the surface.
It sits under a tree constantly and it's getting neglected.
So today we're going to be treating it to a nice foam bath.
And after this video, we're actually gonna be moving on
to our cleaning process, polishing process,
and our surrender process, let's get to it.
(upbeat music)
To begin this washing process, I already have
my two bucket method system set up
and today I will be using the foam blaster six.
The reason why I wanna use the form blaster six is
because I don't feel like bringing out the pressure washer,
so this is for everybody that does not have
a pressure washer, but does have running water.
If you do have a regular garden hose,
just go ahead and attach the foam blaster six nozzle,
and you're ready to fire away.
So let me just set up my two bucket method.
So I'll remove my foam blaster six,
remove my wash mint and my soap
and the here are the dirt traps.
So dirt traps, they filter as you wash.
On here, it has very micro braces.
So whenever you rub your wash mint, it's gonna
these cone lights are going to push it down
and not let it rise back up.
So when you enter a dirt trap into your bucket,
always entered at angle cause a full seal at the bottom
and your dirt job does not rise back up, same exact thing.
And the reason why I have two different types of dirt traps
or different color I should say, is because I want to know
my rinse bucket and my wash bucket.
So I'll have my green dirt trap to be my rinse bucket
and my black dirt trap would be my wash bucket.
So the choice of soap today, I'll be using
is gonna to be citrus wash and gloss .
Citrus wash and gloss is actually very concentrated.
So I've actually turned it to the side.
You can see that it actually splits.
That is because it's very concentrated.
It is a citrus based product, and keep this in mind, guys,
if you do use any more than two ounces, when washing
you are going to strip off anything,
that's standing on the surface,
such as glazes, sealants, and waxes.
So this is why I chose this one because after this,
I still need to go out and clay it and Polish it,
then ceramic coated.
So that the reason I chose a soap.
You guys might say, why do I not use clean slate?
To clean slate actually does not foam up.
So this car is filthy, there's grime debris.
There's everything you think of this car has it.
I was just speaking to Aj.
He's our coworker and he brought in this car today.
He said, his girlfriend, just let us sit outside.
So if you guys come close, you guys can see
there's a bird dropping, this tree SAPs.
There's all this gung fur polen.
And if you rub it and you actually look very closely,
there's these little rust spots on it.
That is all contamination.
That over time actually deceives the look of
the white paint and makes it look yellow.
So whenever using a product like such as wash and gloss,
you always need to shake it up before using it.
So you get the proper mixture.
Whenever your product is no longer separated
and looks like so, you're ready to go.
So let me just give it two more shakes like that.
Perfect mixture so I'll open up the spout
and I'll be one, two.
I applied a lot because I remember I want to strip off
anything that Is sitting on the surface of the vehicle
and now it's time to prep my foam blaster six.
So all you need to do is twist this off.
You're gonna put it so,
and I'm also going to add two ounces into here.
One, two, let's make it three, just to be, I could ensure
I remove everything from the surface of the vehicle .
I'll put this down.
And the cool thing I like about the foam blaster six is
it works with a standard garden hose.
You don't have to be dragging out your,
your pressure washer, You wanna use a foam cannon
and you still want to throw a foam party.
Whether it's sunny, rainy,
whatever type of weather you want to throw a foam party,
this will be your go to, and whenever your
mixture is already in, you stir it
never shake it because if you do shake it,
you're going to cause foam in here.
And you want to get the most product out of your solution.
So start, and now it's time
to activate the suds in this wash bucket.
Just so you could see how much suds
citrus wash and gloss actually produces.
(water gushes)
Like check that out that is all very sudsy.
All that's going to go onto the surface.
And if I rub my fingers,
there's very high lubrication on here, which is not gonna
let me scratch the surface of the vehicle.
And especially cause I'm using a
two bucket method system set up
is not going to meet, allow me to rub any grime.
That's already been removed to the vehicle
and take it back onto the vehicle.
The Watch mitt I'll be using today
is gonna be the three way Wash mitt.
So three-way Wash mitt actually has three different sides.
It has the chenille side, a microfiber side and a bug side.
So if you do have bugs on your car, I recommend
using this side ,if you have like heavier, stubborn grime,
you could use this side
and if is very light, you can use this side.
Another cool thing this thing, has, it has this
rubber inside that actually does not let your hand get wet.
So if it's cold outside and you do not want to have
your hand freezing cold, you use the three-way Wash mitt.
So I'm actually going to go and rinse on the vehicle
just to knock off any loose ground with debris.
And then after that, I'll foam it up using the
`torque foam blaster six, let's get to it.
(upbeat music)
just like I said, I was gonna go ahead and rinse down
the vehicle to knock off any of the loose grime and debris.
But if you guys actually come close, this heavier grime,
that I pointed previously, it actually did not come off.
This is why I want the power of citrus,
wash and gloss to remove it safely and easily as possible.
Because a lot of people I've seen in the parking lot.
I've seen whenever I'm driving down the road,
people take the nail and scrub it.
That is a big, no, and what ends up happening?
Yes, you are removing it, but you need to understand
the base of the paint is water, so whenever you scratch it,
it's very sensitive, very delicate.
And you start to scratch it clear coat.
And over time, you'll start seeing these
nasty marring scratches and then you,
you must Polish out to remove it.
So let's get to the foaming part, which is the fun part.
(upbeat music)
So finished foaming up the RAV4.
Now it's time to scrub it down.
I'll get my wash mitt, put my hand in here
and I'll go to my soapy bucket,
get it very sudsy, very lubricated.
And now I would go to the tallest point of the vehicle
and I'll scrub it in one direction in linear motions.
So this prevents any scratches or swirls
that can be installed into the surface of the vehicle.
But if you go on linear motion, you have a less of a chance
to scratch the finish of your vehicle,
especially on dark color vehicles.
Unfortunately working on a light colored vehicle right now,
but on a dark color vehicle, you see everything on it,
imperfections, grime, so I'll go back and forth on here.
Cause the grime is a little bit heavier
and now I'll go to my rinse bucket to rinse off
any grime that came onto the wash mitt,
scrub it out the bottom.
(water splaters)
We're gonna rinse it out outside,
and now go to my soapy bucket and do the same exact thing.
Yes, I do understand that I still left some grime on here.
The reason behind it, I went back to my rinse bucket
is because I want to ensure I do not install anything
because this grime is filthy and it's abrasive.
So if I drag it around the whole entire vehicle,
it potentially can scratch the finish of the vehicle.
So start from over here.
now flip it over to my microfiber side.
Just so I could have two sides to play with.
Scrub it down, I'll come back to my rinse bucket, rinse it,
( water splatters)
got everything out, come back to my soapy bucket
and I'll go back and do the same exact thing
around the whole entire vehicle we'll see you after.
(upbeat music)
So now it's time to dry off the vehicle
I'll be using after wash.
So after wash is a drying agent.
So this is for anybody that does not have filter water
does not have de-ionized water, this is for you.
All you need to do is take a couple sprays of after wash
to the surface of the vehicle, and you already start seeing
that the water starts running off
because it's reducing tension from the surface
of the vehicle and the water.
So just simply sprayed it onto the surface
you could even sprayed onto the glass,
you could spray it on wheels, plastic,
and it's gonna help you dry faster.
This is not going to cause water spots
and it's going to help you remove the water safely
and easily as possible from the surface of the vehicle.
I'll put this on the side and the choice of towel today
that I'll be going with is going to be the wooly mammoth.
So the wooly mammoth is super big, it's ultra plush
and it has silk line edging on it
that will not scratch the surface of the vehicle.
All you need to do is take it to the surface
and you can do the two different methods.
You could ether blotch, it like, so, and then pull it off
and it's dry, or you can throw it on there
and you could drag from the top,
I like personally grabbing it from the edges
and falling it over
and then give it another pass.
And this one, for sure I removed the water,
but you guys can see,
I constantly keep going in linear motions.
The reason behind it is, because we do not want you guys
to scratch your surface of your vehicle.
Anything that may lay on the towel, such as a rock chip,
abrasive, or even dirt or grime, maybe rubbing onto surface.
So that's a constantly flip it over, check it.
And if you're good to go continue.
Me personally, I recommend you guys doing it.
A panel out at a time.
Take, take it to the door, come back, check your towel.
Like for example, there's this little red thing on here.
You pull it off and you're good to go again.
I'll go to my other section
already sprayed after wash on here
and I'll just rub it down, side to side
and this one for sure I get a scratch free dry.
