- Hey, what's up, guys?
Welcome back to the Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
I have my boy, AJ, with me.
He's going to help me wash this filthy,
neglected, blue Honda Accord.
This obsidian blue Honda Accord has seen better days.
There's contaminants, there's dirt,
there's grime, there's water spots on it,
and it's completely tarnishing the finish of the vehicle.
Before anything, Jason, you already know, roll that intro.
To start off this wash, AJ,
let me know why we have a two bucket method, why
we're going to be using a foam cannon and some dirt traps.
- We're going to be using a two bucket method,
because we're going to have our rinse and our wash bucket,
our rinse bucket for cleaning off our mitt
after we pick up some dirt and grime
from all that soap and lubrication,
and then we're going to bring it into our soap bucket
where we're going to throw it back in there
to get some lubrication, clean the vehicle and then repeat.
We have our dirt traps right here, which are going
to trap all the dirt and keep it at the bottom
to make sure we don't cause any scratches to the vehicle.
So we're going to put them at a 45 degree angle,
and we're going to make sure there's no air in them
so they are locked tight to the bottom.
And if you didn't know, Henry,
we actually have our Ultra Clear Smoked Buckets right here
that you can pick up at ChemicalGuys.com today.
- Or at your local Detail Garage.
And today we're going to be washing this Honda Accord
using Glossworkz.
So Glossworkz is a peach band soap,
that's very gentle on any glazes, sealants or waxes
as well as ceramics.
Simply, all you need to do is just shake up the product,
insert it into your foam cannon.
Today, we're going to be using
the TORQ Professional Maximum 8 Foam Cannon.
We filled it up to the 900 Mark,
and then after that we filled it up to the 1000 Mark.
We went a little bit overboard with two ounces of soap,
but now guys, it's time to rinse down the vehicle.
And once we rinse down the vehicle,
we're going to knock off as much loose grime and debris.
Once we knock it all down, we're going to be moving on
to the fun part, which is time to throw a foam party.
Check out the beautiful weather.
Beautiful weather means foam party.
All right guys, so I just finished pre rinsing the vehicle
and then AJ took over, and he foamed up the vehicle.
As you guys can see,
the TORQ Professional Maximum 8 Foam Cannon
did an amazing job at causing amazing suds.
Now the suds are dwelling the contaminants
of dirt and grime.
Before we get started, we need to insert our soap
into our soap bucket.
So I have my Glossworkz Autowash.
I'll insert one ounce into my Ultra Clear Smoke Bucket.
Now I would just activate it with little to no pressure,
so you guys can see how amazing Chemical Guys soap foam up.
So look, little to no pressure with the pressure washer,
GlossWorkz Autowash foams up amazing.
I mean there's millions of suds right here.
So now it is time to scrub it down.
So right now AJ is going to enter his wash mitt.
He is going to get tons of suds.
But today we went with the Three-way Wash Mitt one,
because it has three different sides to work with.
One, it has a chenille side, a microfiber side
and it also has a cool bug side on the side of it.
But AJ, as you guys can see,
he started out on the top of the vehicle.
The reason why he wants to start
at the top of the vehicle is one,
he does not want to work against gravity,
because you will actually be working double.
So I want to do the same exact thing.
I'll help them do half the car.
So whenever you are working on any type of vehicle,
we always recommend starting off from the top
and work your way to the bottom.
What I like to do is I like to start at the edge,
start going in linear motions all the way down.
Once I get to all the way down, I inspect my wash mitt.
If it's super filthy, I go back to my rinse bucket,
but in this occasion,
the loose grime and debris came off constantly.
So now I'll just give it a second pass,
then I'll go to my rinse bucket.
- And I got a little bit more than Henry did.
So I had to go to a rinse bucket right now.
I'm going to scrub it all the way against the dirt trap,
just to get all that dirt off of it.
There we go, all fresh and clean,
and we're going to ring it out.
- So what the dirt trap does,
it actually removes everything that's coming off
of your chenille wash mitt or your microfiber wash mitt,
or whatever your using.
It's going to make it sit at the bottom of the bucket.
So whenever you come back to rinse it off again,
it's not going to be dangling or just hanging out at the top
It's going to sit at the bottom.
So once you rinse it off, you inspect it,
and you make sure you're good to go.
And then you're going to get some more suds
and follow this procedure around the whole entire vehicle.
So guys, sit back, relax and enjoy this montage.
Let's get started.
All right guys, so I just finished rinsing off the vehicle
and now Glossworkz has done an amazing job
at bringing back the shine and reflection.
But the key thing, whenever you're washing
in direct sunlight,
we always recommend using a drying aid After Wash,
because one, this paint has no type
of protection whatsoever.
The dirt and grime got to it,
and now the water is drying completely.
And the After Wash is actually going to reduce tension
from water and the surface,
which is going to help it glide right off.
So AJ, show them how to properly use it
when drying your ride.
- You're going to spray onto the surface,
break down that tension, there we go.
And then you're going to
and get your drying towel and do a swipe to get it all off.
And it's going to help, it's going to have great
lubrication, so you're not scratching the surface,
and it's going to help you prevent water spots as well.
- So as you guys can see, just after a simple wipe
of using the Woolie Mammoth, the surface is now dry.
The reflection and shine is there.
And let me just show you guys what happens
if you guys do not use a drying aid.
So if I grab a microfiber towel
and I drag it, the water tension's still there,
and the shine is not really there.
But using something like After Wash,
After Wash actually has Carnauba in it,
so it's going to give it an amazing shine and reflection.
I like to be very generous whenever I'm using it,
because I want to reduce water spots,
especially cause I'm washing in direct sunlight.
So I'll put this off to my side.
I'll grab my Woolie Mammoth.
I'll do the same exact process that AJ said
and then drag it.
And immediately you start seeing the Carnauba
and After Wash evaporating all the water
and bringing out an amazing shine.
But obviously this car is neglected.
There's scratches and swirls, so there's more to it.
This is just a simple, basic wash
that's going to bring back some shine behind to it.
I still noted that there's hard water spots.
There's scratching and swirls.
But guys, let me and AJ
just finish drying up the rest of the vehicle
and then we'll show you guys the after results
once it's completely dry.
AJ, take it away.
All right guys, so we just finished drying up the paint,
and the paint looks phenomenal.
It looks 10 times better than how it came in.
But, if I still come close,
there's still scratches and swirls.
There's still water spots that's penetrating
deep into the paint, but this is just for today.
We're just going to be showing you guys how to properly
wash. Make sure to subscribe, like the video,
because we post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
And we're going to be showing you guys
how to bring back the shine on any given ride
at any given time using Chemical Guys passion for shine.
We'll see you guys next time,
