welcome back guys to stauffer garage today's video is gonna be a little bit
different we're gonna go into detail all of the different products that I
personally love to use in my videos my go-to products but also this would be a
good video for anybody that's looking to start out and detailing things that you
could pick up for yourself to keep your car clean as well and also like in all
my videos I have all the products in the description box below for you guys and
if you're new hit the subscribe button if you like these sort of videos give it
a thumbs up and also let me know in the comments below if you guys have go to
products that you personally swear by let me know because I'm always looking
to try out some new stuff now for the first part of this video I want to
discuss cleaning your carpets clean yours see it's cleaning your floor mats
any sort of fabric in your car including the headliner these are the products
that I use personally and why I like to use them now when it comes to a quick
go-to product nothing can beat full ex this stuff is you pick up a home depot
any store for that matter but it's an instant spot removal you can spray it on
you know use a brush to agitate it and then use a microfiber towel to dab it
it's a quick spot remover that is kind of like a easy go-to for me and I've
even used this in my extractor before in my sprayer and like bigger jobs but from
a smaller standpoint this is a great go-to product now with some of my bigger
jobs this is actually a product that a subscriber recommended to me this first
one is called bio brake with citrus this is like your pre spray that I put in my
sprayer that I spray down first and then I use my drill brush to agitate all the
carpets with and then this is called flex ice this is actually a powdered
extraction rinse I put this in it's supposed to neutralize the pH help keep
the fabric looking nice and new but also a great post treatment when you're using
your extractor so you mix this just with the hot water and you use that with the
extractor stage now in the past I've tried two other products this one is
called Chemical Guys lightening fast this is also kind of like Folex for that
matter it's very quick spot stain remover now this product is Chemical
Guys fabric clean this is a great carpet shampoo and also odor eliminator it
smells like lemon Pez which is awesome but the only problem with this with an
extractor is it gets really foamy so if you're doing a small spot if you're you
I'm using it with a drill brush and then your pressure washing like a floor mat
that's a great product but with an extractor it does get extra foamy which
is kind of a problem with an extractor now from a tool standpoint this is a
drill from Dewalt that I like to use it's 20 volts it's one of the newer ones
the battery packs lasts a long time they're lithium-ion but the main thing
you're using the drill for is drill brushes these things are key with
cleaning any sort of carpet fabric seats leather for that matter they are a go-to
product that if you're looking to kind of speed up your detail it makes life a
lot easier instead of having to manually scrub with a brush the key thing is with
drill brushes though is there are different stiffness levels like this is
the medium stiffness this one's a soft one that comes into play when you're
doing certain types of fabric or certain types of carpets so a medium one is
great for doing floor mats doing your carpet on your floors but if you have a
damaged or more fragile like cloth interior on your seats or your headliner
for instance definitely look at a soft one and they also work well in leather
the soft ones do as well now from the big product standpoint a steam cleaner
this is a Waggoner steam cleaner this product is one that I'm used for gosh
since I started making videos on YouTube I picked this bad boy up there about 120
bucks I believe on Amazon still they're not super expensive but you can use
these for cleaning your headliner you can use them for cleaning your entire
interior the great thing is with steam is no chemicals involved you can spray
it in your air vents to clean out any mold or any kind of disinfecting that
you're doing these things are great go-to products and you can actually use
steam just to clean the outside of your car if you want to look up that sort of
video on YouTube check it out just like steam washing your car there's certain
machines that do it on a larger scale than this thing but you can actually
just wash your entire car with steam which is kind of cool yeah I used to use
a little mean green machine from bazzill you guys go back to my very beginning
videos I used to use one and they're great machines they actually work really
really well for what the size of the kind of carpet that you're supposed to
use them for but the problem that I ran into when I got to I think about the
roach motel video if you guys remember all kind of put an icon up here if you
want to check it out at that point to my detailing game I had to upgrade to a
larger capacity one because with the little mean green machine it does great
but you can only hold like I think it's like half a gallon of water when you
extract whereas this one holds about five gallons but this is the Sandia 5100
you can pick them up for about 4 or 500 bucks on Amazon so they're a little bit
more pricey than a Bozell but you can use these on the interior of your car
you can also use them inside your house that's why I recommend them and when it
comes to a heated version I feel like if you just get hot water from the tap pour
it in your machine you're using it right away you're going to use it all up
before the heater inside is that gonna have any impact now part of the
whole extraction process does they Smurfs Smurfs Smurfs Smith performance
series sprayer r200 turf and agriculture series this is a pump sprayer so you
pump it up you can use it as spray on your lawn chemicals and stuff
I specifically use it as spray that pretreatment for carpet extracting and
the reason why I like this one the most is one most of its plastic but the
actual rod here is metal and I've broken probably three or four of the plastic
ones and when I upgrade it to this one I've had this one for a really long time
does a good job so that covers the carpet extracting stage but now when it
comes to other seats and things like that I use a few different products I
actually have my one of my last videos I use the Chemical Guys leather cleaner
and conditioner this stuff did a really good job I really like it it's odorless
and it doesn't leave like a slimy type feeling on the seats it actually absorbs
pretty quickly and dries pretty quickly which I liked a lot if we want to go
into detail what I have always used and this goes back to when I use the detail
back in high school in college which gosh I'm a little describe
but Lex all this is leather cleaner and leather conditioner from Lex aw and I
mean these are just kind of go to products and when it comes to some of
these things you can interchange them across the board but these are just kind
of the things that I have that I've always used but like I said I'm always
trying new stuff anyway so if you guys have any suggestions let me know I'm
always interested in trying some new stuff relaxed nitrile gloves I picked up
these from Amazon I think I got five six boxes really cheap but definitely use
gloves when you're detailing is one thing as well because the chemicals and
everything you're dealing with you know you don't want that on your skin so
definitely wear gloves some sort of eye protection and some sort of mask is
always good as well especially if you're working in a dusty car you don't want to
breathe in that dust and get inside your lungs now for the next part of this
we're gonna go into cleaning the average interior inside your car and the
different things that I use that I love to use that you see in all my videos the
first product that I want to talk about is this one's from Chemical Guys it's
called all clean it smells good I like the way it works and the best part is
when you buy it it comes in it concentrated like lime green formula
which you guys see here it's really lime-green I
actually have a giant gallon jug of this that I used to dilute and chemical guys
even sells he's really really nice spray bottles they're empty one specifically
for mixing sort of things like this but they got dilutions Radio ratios on the
side which is really nice and helpful plus the actual sprayer nozzle is rarely
organ amah chol and it works well I've had tons like these sprayers I'm not
really a fan of them these ones work ten times better now once you've cleaned
your entire interior that's kind of the point where you want to put on some sort
of protect and if you want to the main reason why you try to do that with
plastic stuff is because the Sun will eventually deteriorate it the UV rays
two products that I've used in the past and two products that I would recommend
is one 303 aerospace protectant this stuff I've honestly used like I said
back when I used to detail this was my 100% go-to but over time I've kind of
switched gears a little bit more I actually like the silk shine from
Chemical Guys they actually don't sponsor me at all I just really like
their stuff but their silk shine stuff it goes on it doesn't leave sort of like
a filmy slimy texture it does take a little bit longer to dry than this but
when I put this on I try to spray it on a microfiber towel and then just rub it
on instead of spraying across the panel same goes with this stuff but my new
go-to is definitely the Chemical Guys silk shine just from an aesthetic
standpoint and from an ease of use now when it comes to tools on the interior
as well we already talked about the drill brush for the carpets the other
tools that I would recommend are one detailing brushes these are actually my
personal brushes that I sell on my website fox clean calm I've tried out
tons of different brushes and there's lots of different types and colors that
you can get I personally like these the most one because the bristles are super
soft but they're also a more whitish color with the gray it allows you to see
when they get super dirty when you need to clean them across panels over a black
bristle which obviously you can't tell when it's dirty definitely if you want
to pick these up I sell them on my website at Fox clean comm so check them
out if you've been around you've heard me talk about them a little bit before
I've just been trying to make sure everything was perfect with my new
launch Brown but I've tried out tons of different microfiber towels as a
detailer any of you guys that detail you know that microfiber towels are like the
holy grail of detail and you have to have them for the exterior you have to
have them for the interior you need them for everywhere and to be honest there
are many friend types and anything that you
typically find in a store they suck just straight-up gonna say it they are not
the most plush they don't have the most dense fibers and to be honest a lot of
times some of those can actually scratch your paint you have to be careful with
that but for me personally I've been trying out a ton and I'm happy and I
finally able to tell you guys that I'm carrying microfiber towels on my website
on Fox clean this is for towels they're super super plush they're edgeless so
that way you don't the worry about scratching your paint I like these
because you can use them on the interior and the exterior which is why I decided
I want it to finally offer them for you guys to check out I've actually washed
these ones six times and used them six times and they are still super plush and
absorb like brand-new so that's why I recommend it now the other product that
I'm gonna be carrying on my site now is the towel that you guys have seen me use
in my exterior detailing videos the super big drying towel this one is
awesome this is one that you can use to dry your entire exterior of your car
just with one towel in the past I've used like 20 microfiber towels to dry
the exterior whereas this one is super super thick doesn't scratch your paint
and absorbs a ton of water so I'm gonna be selling those as well on fox bing.com
now another tool for the interior that I would recommend this is something that
is new to me I've used it in the last three or four
videos you guys have probably seen me use it but this is the invisible glass
reach and clean tool they actually sell this with their glass cleaner which hold
on this stuff you guys can you talk about it the reason why I've always
liked this stuff is it does a really good job being streak free it's
safe--for tint because it doesn't have ammonia in it but then also with the
reach tool this makes cleaning your windshield and the rear window of your
car especially in a city in a piece of cake like it just you can get into the
corners you can get all the way down inside the windshield in the front it
makes life a lot easier and when you're done cleaning with this towel on this
pad you pull it off and you can get a new one stuck to it to dry it afterwards
to make it streak free they're kind of silly some people might say but for me
it really helps with making my life easier so definitely recommend it now
when it comes to things that you probably don't need for cleaning your
interior but I would recommend one we are to talk about the drill
don't need a drill with a drill brush but it makes life easier when you're
cleaning carpets the other tool that I would recommend is any sort of impact
driver this is just a standard screwdriver that you can put new bits in
but when you're taking off panels you're trying to remove stuff having them is
nice this Dewalt with that drill and this and then I also got another tool
with it I picked them up on Home Depot during like you know fourth of July's
specials or Christmas specials you can get them for a really good price and
they're just something that you can use everywhere around your house fixing
anything else not only just for your detailing game the last two I'll be
talking about today this is one again another excessive tool that you guys
probably don't need but is a really really nice tool to have this is the m18
Milwaukee fuel impact driver this is a three agent 3/8 inch head I use these to
pull seats pull anything out of my car out of the cars a tie detail when I need
to use some sort of impact driver to remove them not needed especially if you
guys work on your cars or mechanic you guys will understand why something like
this is nice to have so that covers everything that I would recommend from
an interior detailing standpoint
