$100 giftcard to auto get calm so you
guys can pick up some new detail and
supplies for spring this giveaway will
go on for a month so make sure you leave
that comment below so I can pick the
winner in the next 30 days since I live
in Ohio you have the salt on the roads
from all the snow so my car is extremely
dirty as you can see in these video
clips I have lots of dirt buildup on
each side of the car especially the rear
and about the wheel wells but definitely
going to be able to tackle all that with
the methods that I'm showing today so
the pressure washer that I use is from
Sun Joe that I picked up off at Amazon
it is an electric pressure washer with
the right pressure rating to match my
foam cannon my foam cannon is picked up
from auto geek.com and then also my grit
cards were picked up off their site take
your foam cannon soap and add it to your
bottle with some water and when you mix
it up it allows the foam cannon to
produce a much better soap solution on
your car and then attach to your
pressure washer
[Music]
I have to say the foam can is probably
the best tool I've ever picked up for
detailing it makes your life so much
easier by creating a thick layer of foam
over top of your car that as it falls
off your car it takes a lot of the dirt
with it it really makes your life easier
when it comes to using a sponge to wash
your car because a lot of the heavy dirt
on your car has been pulled off and then
your sponge doesn't fill up with as much
grit so that way you have less likely of
an opportunity to scratch your paint
[Music]
I usually use the pressure washer first
to start rinsing off the car because
depending on if you're washing it
outside or in the shade you're gonna get
some of that soap drying the pressure
washer really helps with doing a good
job of getting that dried soap off the
car definitely start with the top of the
vehicle and work your way down all right
for the two bucket method add your good
guards to the bottom fill one bucket
with just plain water and the other
bucket heavier soap and water mix I like
to start with the wheels first because
they usually are the most tedious and
dirtiest portion of the car at this
point see I have a separate wash mitt
just for this task to clean all those
nooks and crannies but then also the
outside of the tire itself so at this
point the pressure washer isn't needed I
just use a standard host sheet water off
the car and clean off the soap it also
helps if your car is waxed and polished
where you just get a minor beating for
when you're drying
[Music]
so for each time that the wash mint is
soaked in soap I like to do one panel at
a time and then I can flip it over and
do another panel but always start from
the top and work your way down because
the lower you get on the car typically
that means that it's more dirty so you
start at the top of your door and when
you get to the bottom of the rocker
panel and the door sill that's usually
where most of the dirt is collected
[Music]
as you're watching your car be conscious
of the sunlight because the sunlight is
going to dry that soap that has collect
on the surface so as you get through
each panel go ahead and rinse it off as
well so that way that soap residue
doesn't have a chance to dry so now it's
time to drive the car I have a specific
microfiber that I like to use from Cobra
called the guzzler I usually have
several of these packs lying around but
they do an amazing job they are the
biggest towel that they have and usually
I can get away with doing the full car
with just two towels
[Music]
when drying your car always start at the
top usually on the roof and work your
way down and be conscious when you get
down towards the bottom of the car and
around the tires to not allow the towel
to contact those surfaces because they
will collect dirt and pick it up and
then you will be touching your paint
with it and scratching it so just be
conscious of that as you work way down
[Music]
so as you get to know your car more I
know that sounds weird you figure out
the different areas where water will
collect and drip even after you've dried
the car so in my particular case around
the windowsills trim and then also
around the mirrors to find different
areas of your car that collect water and
then we'll continue to drip even as the
car drives so just pay particular
attention to those areas so as you dry
the rest of the car the water won't drip
down and dry and leave that watermark
that you're trying not to produce
[Music]
so one of the most satisfying parts to
the detail for me is actually cleaning
the door jambs and around the trunk
itself because you spend so much time
getting in out of the car it's one of
those neglected areas that a lot of
people miss but cleaning those door jams
underneath the door around the door trim
itself and in the door sill it really
just gives you that little extra edge
when you clean your car to make it that
much more appealing
[Music]
Oh
so this isn't a full in-depth engine
detail if you guys are interested in
that video let me know in the comments
below and I'll go ahead and make one of
those but for this task we're just
simply going around and drying and
collecting any of that water that has
actually accumulated in the engine bay
so around the fenders the engine cover
the battery covers there are several
places where you'll find water
[Music]
one of the most neglected places that
you'll actually find is the underneath
side of the hood you'll see where water
has kicked up and dirt has kicked up and
it has collected on your hood so just
with your wet towel that you've been
using go ahead and wipe those areas off
and you'll be surprised at how much it
improvement this makes in your car it'll
make it look ten times better
[Music]
