Today we're gonna be doing some
in-depth detailing on the inside of this Audi.
I've done a lot of show-car details
and custom detail jobs,
and one thing that separates a car wash from a detail
is the tiny little perfections that you make on any type of vehicle.
When you have a car going to a show or judged contest,
a lot of the stuff judges look at are small imperfections.
One of the small imperfections on this Audi is the pedals.
You can have the most immaculate interior,
but if a judge goes to look at the brake, gas, or clutch pedal,
and they're dirty,
then they're gonna knock off points.
Even if you have a beautiful car,
like this Audi,
which is fantastic-looking inside and out,
but the one thing that gives it away is the pedals.
Those things can be easily cleaned,
and today I'll show you how to clean them with a few brushes
and our Chemical Guys NONSENSE.
This is one trick I like to do on all show cars
because it's super important to make sure this one area
of the car is clean.
If you take a look at the pictures I'll show you on the screen,
you'll notice that these pedals have a lot of dirt in them.
Like the owner walked on a dusty road, then got back in the car,
and the shoes attracted dust all over the pedals.
Now these have a diamond-textured grip on the rubber,
and in between all that grip is dust and dirt.
I'm gonna go ahead and clean them off using a few products.
I'll first clean the pedals using our Chemical Guys NONSENSE.
This is an invisible super-cleaner.
It has no color, and no scent,
so it's not going to hurt the rubber or stain any type of carpet
it might drip down on.
After I clean it with NONSENSE,
I'm gonna use some water.
Now this is water, and this is NONSENSE.
Even though NONSENSE is clear,
you can see when I shake it up, you get bubbles at the top.
That means it's a cleaner.
This is distilled water, and if I shake it up,
no bubbles occur, and you know it's not a chemical.
I'm gonna use this to rinse down the pedals,
because when you're cleaning pedals,
it's important you clean them thoroughly.
You don't want any type of slippery chemical on the pedal
that could lead to the driver or you having an accident.
Do this at your own risk.
Remember, this is not a regular car wash,
this is a super in-depth detail step.
Now I'm gonna use our toothbrush-style detail brush.
This is a stiff bristle brush to get right in between the pedal
and the rubber pieces.
It also has a short side as well.
You can pick this brush up at our website:

I'm also gonna use our horse hair brush
to scrub the face of the pedal as well.
I got some black microfiber towels to help us out
to catch any drips that might go on the carpet,
and to dry off the pedals as well.
Let's go ahead and get down on the inside
and show you how well we can clean these pedals.
If you look right here on the pedals,
you'll notice there's a lot of dirt and dust in these cracks.
These are the hardest parts to clean,
and that's what's killing the look of the pedal.
Once I'm done with this, the whole pedal is going to look black and rich.
The first thing I'll do is put a microfiber towel underneath the pedal.
This is gonna collect any type of drip that might come down
when I use NONSENSE on the pedal.
I'm gonna take my NONSENSE, turn it on,
and spray it right on the pedal.
Already by spraying NONSENSE,
it's starting to soak a lot of the dirt out of the cracks.
I'm gonna take my stiff bristle brush,
this is a toothbrush style brush,
and I'm gonna scrub in between the little diamond pieces.
I like how well this toothbrush gets right in there
and scrubs out the whole face of the pedal.
This is a quick and easy job,
and some of you might be wondering
"Why is he cleaning the pedal?"
or
"I don't need to do that to my vehicle."
This is what separates a detail from a car wash.
This is what makes your car look brand new.
These types of things combined in the detail process,
like cleaning the pedals and scrubbing smaller areas,
that's what's separates your car from your buddy's car
that's just washed every week.
It doesn't have all the little details done to it.
I'll add two more sprays of NONSENSE.
Look how it drips off, but this towel collects it all.
Now that I've cleaned the whole pedal,
I'll go ahead and rinse it with some water.
This is regular straight water, it's just clear.
The reason I'm gonna use this is to go ahead
and rinse off all the NONSENSE.
Even this brush is starting to turn brown.
That's from all the dirt, and this was a pure-white brush before.
I'm gonna take my water and spray it directly on the pedal.
There we go.
Now this is very important:
I'm gonna take my microfiber towel and dry the pedal.
I'm also gonna wipe all the cleaner off from around the area.
There we go!
Now look at that!
Look how new the pedal looks now.
The pedal does not look old, does not look dingy,
it doesn't look like it has all that dirt in there.
It looks brand new.
Even when we step out of the car,
it looks brand new.
It does not feel slick, it does not feel slippery.
It feels perfectly smooth.
Now you know one of my quick and easy tricks to help you detail any interior vehicle.
This is a trick I use on show cars or any vehicle that will be
exhibited at any type of show.
So when the judges look down at the pedals,
they always look perfect.
This is the difference between car washing and detailing.
Detailing is a process where you go in depth, in focus,
to the tiny little details in the vehicle to make sure there's
no dirt, no dust, and all the little small areas look the best.
