- Hey, what's up guys
and welcome back to a brand new episode
of Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
On today's video, we have something filthy for you guys.
Check this out.
We have this awesome looking Porsche.
Unfortunately the paint isn't looking so hot.
The owner of this vehicle,
he had it parked near a construction site.
He had it parked there for a couple of weeks,
he got back from vacation
and check it out.
This was the result.
So you guys see this thing is covered
in dirt, grime, dust, industrial fallout,
and check that out guys
if you guys can't see he also has a ton of oil stains.
That's right.
We don't know what happened here
all we know is that there's oil on this car
and it's been sitting there for a couple of weeks,
maybe a couple months, who knows.
So today we're going to be showing you guys
how to give this Porsche a nice deep clean from A to Z
and get this Porsche look to as great as new.
All right guys,
so before we clean up all these oil stains
and all that dirt and grime that I know is bugging you
by looking at this Porsche,
we're going to start off by cleaning the wheels
because those wheels are equally as dirty as the paint.
So stay tuned, we'll be right back.
All right guys,
so we're right here with the wheels
and if you guys to take a close look
these wheels are equally as dirty
as the actual paint of the Porsche .
You guys see a lot of brake dust, a lot of grime,
you can actually see that some that oil
that landed on the paint
is actually in the barrel of the wheel.
So we want to make sure that we clean that up
because these do have a semi-gloss finish
so we definitely don't want these wheels to get stained,
we want to make sure that these wheels
look as great as possible.
So first things first,
what I'm going to do
is I'm going to give it a light pre-rinse.
And as you guys know
we always pre-rinse the areas that we're going to work on
because we want to make sure
that we knock off as much loose dirt and debris as we can.
All right guys,
so now that we've gave it a nice little rinse,
now we're going to begin with the cleaning.
Sticky Citrus is a citrus-based wheel cleaning gel.
So it's going to use the powers of citrus to
and going to break down the brake dust and grime
and any kind of things that are on the surface's wheel.
And it also uses a gel viscosity,
so when you agitate it with a brush
it foams up and it generates those cleaning suds
that are most fine brake dust
to pick it up off the surface
so that you're not scratching it up with your brushes.
And the reason that's called sticky citrus,
because it clings onto the surface.
So when you spray directly onto the wheel,
even with the wheel already having some water on there
it sticks to the surface and it doesn't roll off.
Now to begin this cleaning process
I'm going to start off with the tires.
So I'm going to grab my nifty bristle brush here.
Now I like using the nifty brush
because it has a nice hard bristle texture.
So this texture works out amazing
at agitating all the dirt and grime
that's sitting on the tire
and any kind of previous dressings
So if I want to make sure
that my tire dressing lasts as longest,
I have to make sure that those tires are nice and clean.
So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab
some Sticky Citrus Wheel cleaning gel,
spray directly onto my brush for added cleaning power,
set that down and then continue with scrubbing the tire.
As you guys can see right there
it begins to foam up and that works out great
because that's going to help us
emulsify all the dirt and grime
that's embedded onto the finish of the tire,
ensuring that there's no grime left behind,
so that when we apply our dressing we have proper bond.
The other reason I use this brush
is because I don't know if you guys can tell,
but this brush is pretty thin and so are these tires.
So, this helps me out so I have more control over the brush
so it's not getting over the paint,
it's not getting onto the wheel,
it's the right amount of brush
to go out and clean this tire.
All right, so now that the tire is clean
now we can grab our brushes
to clean the barrel.
I'll begin cleaning the barrel first
because I want to make sure I clean the dirtiest parts
of the wheel first.
So I'm going to be using our wheel paca wheel brushes,
and I got some Diablo Wheel Gel in there
that's completely fine.
I ended up adding some Diablo Wheel Gel into the bucket
because I want to get that extra cleaning suds
and cleaning power.
So I do have some Diablo in there,
I know you guys can't really tell,
but if I grabbed my stubby here
and I activate those suds,
check it out, it foams right up.
And I can use that as added cleaning power and lubricity
so that I don't scratch the finish of my wheels.
I'm using the Rim Paca Brushes,
I'm using the curved one to get into the barrel
because this wheel has a pretty large opening,
which is going to allow me to easily get this brush in there
and give it a deep clean.
The bristles on this brush
they're extremely soft, they're a nice wool material,
so they definitely do a great job
at preventing scratches and swirls
whilst also giving you that nice deep level of clean.
So what I'm going to do now
is I'm going to dunk into my bucket here,
get some nice cleaning suds,
and then begin with cleaning the barrel.
And the cool thing about this brush is that it's curved
so I don't have to
and like get straight into there,
I can easily just rely on the curvature of the brush
to allow me to deeply get into this wheel.
And you want to make sure to clean the barrel
just because these are one of the biggest things
when it comes down detailing.
These fine details, the barrel of your wheel,
this is one of the biggest parts of the wheel
and you want to make sure that that looks clean
because when that's clean, trust me guys,
it makes a huge difference on the look of your wheel.
No one likes having a clean face of the wheel
and then having to look deep further in
and it's all brown and nasty.
All righty guys, so now that that's cleaned up
I'm going to focus on the spokes now.
Now the other brush I'm going to be using
it's also a part of our rim pack of wheel brushes,
but this one happens to be straight.
Now, the reason I like using this brush
is because it's straight,
which allows me to go in and get nice and even
into all these spokes
and I have more of a direct kind of approach
to get into all these spokes, all these curves,
so I get a nice deep clean.
So what I'm going to do now
is I'm going to dunk my rim pack of brush
into my bucket here with water and the Diablo Wheel Gel,
get some nice cleaning studs on there.
And then just for added cleaning power
I'm going to add some Sticky Citrus Wheel Gel onto my brush.
And then I'm going to continue
with cleaning spokes right here.
So, now that I finished cleaning in between the spokes
the only thing that I have left to clean
is those fine details.
Now I'm using one of our
All in The Details Exterior Brush set.
Now this brush set works out great
because it has three different sizes,
you have your big one, your medium one and your small one.
I personally like using the medium sized one
because it works out great for a variety of surfaces
when it comes down to cleaning the exterior of the vehicle
and cleaning intricate wheels like so.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to get
my Sticky Citrus Wheel Gel
and I'm going to spray directly into my brush.
And the reason I like doing this
is because when I go to the lug nut area
it's going to foam up.
So you guys check that out right there,
it foams up nicely, so that I get the nice deep cleaning.
Because you do get a lot of brake dust
that kinda gets into that little area,
and it's kind of hard to get in there with a bigger brush.
So using a brush like this works out amazing
to make sure that you get all the fine details
of your wheels.
You can also get the logo right there,
you can also get these little lip right here.
This Porsche does kinda have
like a little lip on this wheel.
So I want to make sure that everything is nice and deep clean.
And then you can also cover the brake caliper with this,
so you can go in and get deep into the brake caliper.
This Porsche has some beautiful looking brakes,
so you want to make sure that those are cleaned as well,
not just the wheels
but all the details about your wheels.
So your brake caliper, the rotor, all that stuff.
So now that I'm done cleaning the wheel
now all I have left to do is just give it a rinse.
So I'm going to turn on the pressure washer
give it a deep rinse
to make sure that all the stuff is knocked off the wheel,
and I'll be right back with you guys.
All right guys, so we just finished cleaning up
the wheels on the Porsche,
and now it's time to get into the juicy stuff
and detail the exterior of this Porsche .
Now you guys see all the oil and dirt and grime,
I know it's probably been bugging you guys
looking at it when I was cleaning the wheels
but don't worry we're finally going to clean it up.
So today the first thing that we're going to do
is we have our two bucket methods set up right here,
I have my two dirt traps, which I'm going to go and set down
at the bottom of my buckets
because I want to make sure that we get a scratch free wash.
With a beautiful car like this,
one of the easiest ways to prevent scratches
is by using the two bucket method along with two dirt traps.
So with that being said,
I'm going to set up my foam cannon,
we have our brand new
Big Mouth Max Release Foam Cannon here,
I'm using this because I want to get a nice,
thick, thick, rich layer of suds going on in this Porsche .
So I'm going to open that up,
I'm going to grab our Citrus Washing Gloss,
I'm using Citrus Washing Gloss
because I want that citrus strength.
So just like we needed that strength for the wheels,
we're going to
and utilize that same citrus powered strength for the paint.
So what you want to do with citrus washing gloss is,
the first thing you want to make sure to shake it up,
you want to shake it up
because it contains synthetic gloss enhancers.
So give it a nice, good shake
and make sure that that product mixes in well together,
and you'll know when it's mixed in together
because it'll kind of turn like a lighter kind of green
as opposed to like a neon green.
So once that's all shaken up
we're going to apply about one to two ounces.
I think I'm going to go with the two ounces
because I don't know how bad this oil is,
stain onto the paint,
so I want to make sure that I get a nice deep cleaning.
So I'm going to put two ounces
and that's pretty much equivalent
to about two good squirts,
one, two.
So we put that in there,
we put our nozzle back on,
make sure to twist the close,
and then you want to stir it up
inside your Foam Cannon Canister.
You don't want to shake it up
because you don't want it to foam inside.
So now that that's all set up, we are ready.
Actually, I lied
I got to put some soap into my buckets.
So I'm going to grab some Citrus Washing Gloss
and I'm going to put an ounce into my soap bucket.
The bucket that I'm going to dedicate as my soap bucket
it's going to be the one with the green dirt trap.
So I'm going to put about an ounce,
and we're ready to go.
So the first thing that I want to do
before we start cleaning
is we're going to have to give it a pre-rinse.
I'm going to turn on the pressure washer,
give it a light pre-rinse
and then we're going to begin with the foaming process.
All right, so I just finished foaming up the Porsche,
I don't know if you guys saw,
but that foam kinda laid down some serious thick, rich suds.
So now what we have to do is wipe it down.
Now, I need a hand to get this done,
so I'm going to be using our Stranger Handy Wash Mitt here.
Now, this wash mitt is great
because it fits right like a glove.
So you can put your whole five fingers into it
get all the cleaning power of all your five fingers,
and it's a nice soft double-sided microfiber material.
So you can use this to easily conform to a lot of curves.
This Porsche it's known for its curves
I don't know if you guys know,
but we're going to be using this to give it a nice deep clean
and ensure that we get a nice smooth clean.
So I'm going to put my wash mitt
into my soap bucket here,
grab some nice thick rich suds,
and then I'm going to go to the car.
And as always, whenever we clean our car
we want to make sure that we're working in straight motions,
so we just want to make sure that
we don't install any kind of scratches or swirls
and one great way to doing that
is by preventing yourself from doing that circular motion,
cause what ends up is you get like a little rock,
a little piece of grime,
whatever it may be on your wash mitt
and you start doing that circular motion.
Guess what?
that's pretty much
that's causing onto your paint.
So you want to make sure to stay away
from that circular motion.
Once you get a nice little area done
you want to come back to your rinse bucket.
Now, your rinse bucket
we want to make sure that you knock off
any kind of debris that's on there.
Seeing to this Porsche how filthy it is,
I'm going to be repeating this step often
because I want to ensure
that I achieve the best scratch free wash
that I possibly can.
So once I do that I just pretty much rub my wash mitts
towards the bottom where the dirt trap is at,
bring it out,
pull it out.
And I got myself a nice clean wash mitt.
Now I can go back to my soap bucket here
grab some more cleaning suds
and continue with the cleaning of the rest of the Porsche .
So I'm going to clean up the rest of the Porsche
and we'll be right back with you guys
once it's nice and deep clean
and then we'll give it a nice quick rinse.
All right guys, and there you guys have it.
So one thing I do want to kinda bring up is,
when I was wiping down the car with the wash mitt
I did have to bring on the big guns,
had to bring AJ into the video
'cause that stuff was pretty stuck on there.
But luckily that foam cannon with the Citrus Washing Gloss
did an amazing job at loosening up all that oil
that was on the surface,
making it a lot more easier to wipe off.
I did have to kinda wipe it
just a little bit more than usual,
but as you guys can see I knocked that stuff right off,
I didn't have to use any kind of aggressive cleaners
or anything like that,
and it worked out phenomenal
at getting this Porsche look into as good as new.
So now what I'm going to do
is I'm going to grab my Woolly Mammoth.
That's right, my Woolly Mammoth, huge drying towel.
I'm going to dry out the Porsche
and I'm going to show you guys these final results.
So if you guys liked this video
make sure to give us a thumbs up. If you guys want to see
