- Hey, what's up, guys?
Welcome back to The Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Today, we have a 2005 Honda Civic.
It's a daily driver
and the owner of it does not care for it whatsoever.
I'll meet you guys on that side of the car
so I could go over all the benefits
of washing your car properly
and to avoid all these mistakes.
I'll see you guys over there.
All right, guys, before we get into the fun part
which is the foaming part,
I just want to go over certain aspects
on why you should always wash your daily driver.
To start off with, if you just let your daily driver
sit outside, accumulate dirt, grime, and debris,
it's going to sit on your plastic pieces
and over time it's going to fail.
Your trim pieces are going to look white.
And how I like to picture a daily driver is,
you get in the morning, you go from point A to point B
with no problem, with no hesitation.
So you might turn on your wiper fluid
so you can clean up your glass.
That's how you always see dirt on top
and it's very clear on here,
but you guys do not keep this in mind.
If I lift up this wiper blade, you can see all
the stubborn grime that is sitting right there.
All that is just going to be getting dragged
and you're technically scratching the surface of your glass,
which can potentially not be removed over time.
And one last thing,
we always recommend washing your paint, keeping it clean,
because if all that dirt, grime, and debris sits on it,
it's going to discolor it.
Anyways, guys, enough talking.
I already went over certain aspects.
Now I'll meet you guys with our two bucket method
and our TORQ Professional Maximum 8 Foam Cannon
and Honeydew Snow Foam.
I'll meet you guys over there.
All right, guys, so now it is time to get
into the fun part, the prepping part.
So we already have our two clear detailing buckets.
I went with the clear because I want to have
extra vision while I wash.
I want to see my dirty, dirty water versus my soapy water.
But today we're going to be using the
TORQ Professional Maximum 8 Foam Cannon
with Honeydew Snow Foam
So I picked Honeydew Snow Foam today
because I want a soap that's going to produce
tons of suds so I can lather up
the surface of the vehicle
and whenever I glide my Chenille Wash Mitt
it's not going to cause any harm
or scratches on the surface of the paint.
So enough said with the Chenille Wash Mitt.
It's super soft.
Ooh, feels super soft.
Let's put this off to the side and now let's prep our
TORQ Professional Maximum 8 Foam Cannon.
To start off with we just need to twist off the top.
Twist it off.
Remove the TORQ head, off to the side.
And now I will be adding my Honeydew Snow Foam.
So if you're not familiar with how much you should add
and you have the TORQ Professional
Maximum 8 Foam Cannon, on the back there's metering tips.
I like to fill it up to the 950 mark, which is right there.
And then I'll be filling it up, the rest,
up to the 1000 mark.
That's how much soap you actually need for a single wash.
So let me just apply up to the 1000 mark.
Perfect, so now I got it to the 1000 mark.
And as you guys saw,
the soap went all the way down to the bottom.
That is because the soap is a lot heavier and
the chemicals separate themselves from the water.
So what we want to do, we want it to get the proper mixture
but we do not want to get any foam inside the foam cannon.
So if I was to shake it up and down rapidly,
I would cause foam in here and I do not want that.
So I'll just flip it upside down slowly
and once already flipped upside down.
I would just stir it and not shake it.
Like this, I get the proper mixture.
You guys see, we have a proper mixture.
Let's put this off to the side
and now it is time to enter our filters
which are going to be dirt traps.
If you're not familiar with the dirt trap,
it has over a hundred cyclonic cones at the bottom.
That's going to filter while you wash.
You don't have to do anything.
Just insert 'em at a 45 degree angle.
Once you enter 'em at a 45 degree angle,
you guys can see that they sit at the bottom.
In comparison, if you do not enter
at a 45 degree angle, you enter like that,
it's just going to float around your bucket.
It does not go at the bottom, it just float.
So whenever you're inserting the dirt trap,
always make sure to enter it at a 45 degree angle
and push down and now it caused a seal.
But, guys, it is now time to insert one ounce
of Honeydew Snow Foam into my wash bucket.
This is just going to be for extra lubrication
while I wash, because I do not want to grab just water.
I want some type of lubrication
whenever I use the Chenille Wash Mitt.
So guys, enough talking.
It is time for me to rinse down the vehicle.
Once I rinse it down, I want to show you guys
how much dirt and grime I pull off
and how much stubborn grime stays on.
Do you guys think it's going to be
superstar gone or very light?
Comment down below.
I'll see you guys after.
All right guys, so after rinsing down
the surface of the vehicle,
we noticed that some stubborn grime and debris
did not come off with a simple rinse down.
This is why we're pairing our
TORQ Professional Maximum 8 Foam Cannon
with Honeydew Snow Foam,
so we could produce tons of suds like that.
The car is gray, but it's now looking white.
I'm letting it dwell on the surface of the vehicle,
so it helps me pull off all the dirt and grime easier
without scratching the surface of the vehicle.
So now I will enter my Chenille Wash Mitt.
It's super soft, super plush,
and it does not fall off while you're washing.
So if you're super clumsy like me,
use a Chenille Wash Mitt, it does not fall off.
Now I will go to my soapy bucket.
I'll get tons of suds on my mitt.
I'll go to the highest point of the vehicle
and I will work in linear motions
around the whole entire vehicle.
Whenever you work in linear motion,
instead of circular motions,
you're avoid scratches and swirls
being installed on your surface vehicle,
because a straight line is actually a lot easier
to polish out then a swirl mark.
So just go in linear motions.
And like this, you will avoid scratches and swirls.
I just want you guys to come close and check this out.
So there's still dirt and grime.
The car looked pretty good after rinsing down,
but you guys can see how dirty it is.
Now. I will come to my rinse bucket,
massage at the bottom,
make sure everything is out of my mitt.
And you guys can see how clean it now is.
I'll grab my soapy bucket as well.
I'll go and do one more pass
to see how dirty this car actually is.
Check how dirty this car is.
After one pass, it's filthy.
But the good thing about it,
it's gray and gray hides tons of dirt and grime
without actually showing how dirty it is.
But you guys saw how filthy it was
because I believe it was parked outside under a tree
and it's not garage-kept.
Check it out, it's now clean.
I'll come back, get more soap from my soapy bucket.
And I'm going to do this process around
the whole entire vehicle to achieve a scratch-free wash.
So, guys, sit back and enjoy this montage.
And finally moving on to the piece de resistance,
we'll be using the ProBlow
to dry the surface of the vehicle.
I don't feel like using a microfiber towel
so you could use the brand new ProBlow.
The ProBlow has a 1000 watt motor.
Whether you want to use it on your car,
to dry your surface of your vehicle,
or you want to pick up leaves, blow leaves away,
or you wanna get into tight crevices
to get all that dirt and grime off, you can use a ProBlow.
So, guys, if you guys liked this video,
don't forget to give it a huge thumbs up.

the difference between a clean water wash
versus my dirty rinse bucket.
