welcome back guys to Stauffer garage today's video is a special one I'll get
everything we need for under $50 to make this car look new and make your car look
like new as well I'm gonna show you guys when I'm picking off the shelves and
then we're gonna ring it up and then we're gonna head back home and get the
details started if you guys are new make sure you subscribe hit the bell so you
guys know when new videos come out and if you like this type of video and you
want to see more like specific stuff like this let me know in the comments
below what you guys want to see I think this is gonna be like a super fun but
mellow detail let's go to run into Walley world and let's get this video
going one thing I recommend is definitely pick up some gloves they have
this 20 pack of gloves for two dollars and forty seven cents or you can get the
fifty pack for 688 but right now let's start with the 20 so that way hopefully
we can stay on budget literally this ayah Allah from here
all the way down to here is detailing products so it's six dollars and 97
cents for our bucket with our drip guard I'm actually gonna pass on a wash mitt
altogether because to be honest you can actually get away with just using a
microfiber towel and they have this 30 pack here for ten bucks which not a bad
deal we can use these for drying we can use these for polishing buffing and we
can use them even for washing so for the interior I'm actually gonna try
something completely different this is actually from Chemical Guys called total
interior cleaner and protectant it says it's good for dashboards glass
nav spring leather and vinyl but it's supposed to do everything cleaning wise
and protectant wise all for 997 this will kind of save me the option of
buying like three or four different products all in one bottle so I'm gonna
give it a shot we'll see how it does we're gonna be
using the auto drive ultimate carwash because this stuff is Street free spot
free but it also doesn't have any carnauba wax to it and for 497 this
should last you quite a while we're not gonna be polishing the car here we're
not removing any scratches that are already on your surface we're just
trying to find something that is a good topper coat they might actually fill in
some of those imperfections but still give your car that glossy shine we're
looking for kind of like a cleaner wax so I'm gonna go with this mother's
Brazilian carnauba cleaner wax because it does have a cleaner polish and
protect an all-in-one and for 797 it's my best option from a wheel cleaner
standpoint I'm going to go with this triple cleaning foam from you
one this is a good option from a like a foaming standpoint but also does a
really good job with kind of getting any of that brake dust off and because
detailing brushes are expensive what we're going to be using instead is a
paint brush and a foam brush for application of different products so
from a paint brush standpoint this is good for getting out dust and dirt out
of your dashboard at a whopping ninety six or I'm sorry seventy six cents that
doesn't break the bank and then from a foam brush I would just pick up one of
these are a couple of these tiny ones as well now guys the crazy part was is when
I checked out I must have missed something or not adding it up correctly
but I ended up after text at 50 dollars and 80 cents for everything but it's
like you guys want to get your car cleaned up and you want it like start
detailing you want to get into this and you wanted to start taking care of your
car yourself this isn't a bad option to get started for 50 bucks as you can see
on the Range Rover we got some major dusty wheels that will need to get
cleaned up we have our glass that is quite dirty
and it needs gots bug marks and everything on it needs to be cleaned up
the paint on the hood and I'm gonna do this but don't ever do this you guys can
see it's dirty it's kind of faded it's got a bunch of bug goo the front bumper
does as well we got major bug bombs but the car needs to be cleaned up so this
is going to be our car of choice for today's detail make sure to dissolve the
soap at the bottom of the bucket first creating a thick layer of bubbles but
then submerge the hose in the water itself to make sure that you're not
creating just bubbles in your bucket it's actually filling up with water
now the first step that I always like to do is to start with the wheels so go
ahead and take the Eagle one spray spray it onto the wheels the rim the brake
calliper everything and allow it to sit for about 30 seconds or so so that way
you can start working its magic and then I'm just using a microfiber towel to
wipe down the wheels we don't have wheel brushes here obviously because we
weren't able to make that work within the $50 budget but to be honest a
microfiber towel can get the job done along with those little foam brushes
that we picked up those will allow you to get into those hard-to-reach spots
especially around the lug nuts which we'll show in the next wheel
one thing to remember as you begin building your detailing arsenal of
products you could spend 10 bucks a week - 20 bucks a week on getting different
tools and different products that will make your job easier as well to make it
faster to detail a car
now when you're cleaning your wheels go ahead and use the equal one in your
exhaust tips as well to clean those at this point now that the wheels are
completely clean go ahead and grab two fresh microfiber towels dunk them in
your bucket and then start washing your paint I always like to start from the
top of the vehicle and then work your way towards the bottom because the
bottom of the car is always the dirtiest portion of the vehicle
when it comes to those stubborn bug spots on your cane grab a microfiber
towel that has been soaked in your bucket and then throw it on and lay it
flat on top of that spot for about a minute or two
once it's sat like that you're actually allowing it to absorb into it and make
it easier to remove when you wipe it off with your soapy wash that way you're not
scrubbing at it and causing any additional scratching on your paint
when it comes to washing the lettering and those hard-to-reach spots on a car
you're gonna have some trouble with a microfiber towel by itself but this is
where and maybe your subsequent details you can pick up some detailing brushes
that are more suited for the job that won't scratch your paint but also will
make it easier to get to those hard-to-reach spots now like I said
washing your car in direct sunlight is a big no-no but for this job I had to do
it so that is why you're seeing me rinse the car down multiple times after
washing a panel because you don't want that soap to solidify and get stuck to
the paint as soon as I'm done washing the car and giving it a fresh rinse I'm
pulling into my garage that way I can work on the car out of the direct
sunlight and begin the drying and waxing process
now in any car that hasn't been waxed in a long time it is going to take a little
bit longer to dry the car because the water will not be beating off the
surface it'll essentially just stick in there like a layer of water
now for the polishing wax stage product that we picked up from mothers make sure
you shake up the bottle and then grab a microfiber towel fold it up into a small
square as your applicator pad for this product it was about a quarter sized
droplet that I used on each panel but make sure you look at the directions on
the product that you pick up for how much you should use
now after the polish has sat for about a minute or two you'll see it kind of
becomes a chalky haze grab a new microfiber towel to buff off all the
excess polish one thing I like to do after I'm done polishing is look at the
car at a sideways angle to make sure you didn't miss any spots because sometimes
especially on white paint it's hard to make sure that you've gotten every
single piece of the polish off the car now that the paint is polished I went
ahead and grabbed a bucket of water to kind of pour on the paint to show you
what water beading looks like you can see how fast it actually sheets off and
beads off the car that is a great indicator how well your polish is
actually working and you can see here after it being polished how easy it is
to actually dry the car and for a white paint it actually turned out amazing
and then for the interior we're using that chemical guys all-in-one product
especially on the door panels and the windows and pretty much anything on the
inside including the seats to clean the surface
I also busted out that paintbrush to get into any of those cracks and crevices in
the door panel itself the paint brush did a really good job at getting into
those different areas to remove that dirt than dust that's been built up but
it did leave some of the fibers behind and I would say that probably after one
use it would be about time to throw it away and get a new one that being said
if this wasn't for a $50 challenge I would have picked up a standard set of
detailing brushes that I typically use but for this one I went ahead and just
try to stick with the $50 budget to show you guys that you can do this to at a
reasonable price
now this chemical guys product did a really good job I'm pretty much cleaning
every single thing inside the interior from the dashboard to the interior
panels to the seats but one thing that I felt that was missing was the actual
shine that you get from the chemical guys silk and shine topper coat so I
still think that in general I'm gonna stick with my all-purpose cleaner and
then my silk and shine top coat just because it gives a better look and shine
to the car itself but for an all-in-one product like I mentioned earlier it is
definitely a good start for anybody that's looking to get into detailing
if you are looking for an alternative and you had a higher budget in mind for
the seats I would definitely look at the Alexa products they have the conditioner
and the cleaner they do a really good job one cleaning the seats but then to
also protecting your leather from cracking or limiting any further crack
and if you have already cracks in your seats
now that we have everything wiped down on the interior I'm gonna go ahead and
do the vacuuming last pull out your floor mats but make sure when you do so
you actually fold them up and minimize any like bouncing or shaking of any of
the dirt in there it's that way you minimize the amount of work you have to
do one thing I wanted to mention here when it comes to the vacuuming portion
if you don't have a shop vac or have a vacuum cleaner you could always go to
one of the coin-operated units to use their vacuums or even some of those car
washes if you just drive up I think the vacuums might be free or just your
standard in-home vacuum but a shop vac is a really great tool to have
especially the dry ones because if you did have any stains or anything in your
carpets that you had to soak up or clean you can use that to extract the fluid as
well
now when it comes to cleaning windows is a common question I get on how you can
make them Street free I use this chemical guys product to clean the
windows and it actually did a really good job but the biggest things you have
to remember is to use a single microfiber towel to do the actual
washing and scrubbing phase and then grab a second clean microfiber towel to
do the buffing the second towel is kind of what helps make sure there's no
streaking in and there's no residual fluid on the windshield
after you're done or any windows for that matter now I'm still using the same
product throughout the car here I'm using it on the floor mats and then the
brush to scrub it and then I'm just using a clean microfiber towel to wipe
them all down to get any of the dirt or debris off of them
so that's a wrap for today guys I definitely thought this challenge was a
lot of fun to complete Anna gave me an opportunity to try a bunch of different
products that I've never tried before and to be honest the Chemical Guys
product was I was really impressed with how well it worked for glass for the
interior panels even for the seats themselves did a really good job I was
actually impressed for an all-in-one product if you're looking to start out
it's not a bad choice and then the mothers product was really really nice
as well I did a really good job of beating the water afterwards on and off
was easy and super clean it definitely gives the white car a nice shine which
I'm sure on a black or red car I'd be even better and then the all wheel
cleaner from Eagle One did a great job at cleaning up the tire and it was kind
of nice that when you sprayed it on change colors which was really nice to
see when that dirt was kind of activating and kind of coming off the
tire which is really really cool as well in general all the products I picked out
worked out well that's not typically always the case but in this case it
turned out really really nice and I want you guys to comment below what is your
