what's up guys welcome back to stauffer
garage today's video is going to be a
first for my channel it is going to be a
full exterior and interior detail of our
Range Rover Sport supercharged version
which it needs to be done and if you
guys are new and you like these sort of
videos make sure you hit the subscribe
button below and turn on notifications
because this is gonna be one of many
full exterior and interior details that
are gonna be all my channels so without
further ado let's rock and roll
alright so the first thing that we're
gonna do is I'm gonna start with the
engine bay it's just gonna be a light
clean because you guys could tell
probably from the video clips it's
really not that dirty and then for the
wheels we're gonna start with the front
left and kind of work our way around and
then we're gonna also get the exhaust
tips as well and then we're gonna follow
up with the foam cannon and wash it off
with the two bucket method which we'll
go into more detail when we get to that
step once the car is dry then we'll be
pulling it inside to then start on the
interior do the back you mean and go
through the whole steps and process for
that but for right now let's go ahead
and get started on the engine work our
way on the exterior of the car and then
we'll get into the car inside the car
once we can bring it inside and
hopefully this rain lets up because it's
gonna be a little bit of a tough job to
film when it's raining so go ahead and
pull out your table pull out your roller
cart whatever you put all your products
on get those all pulled out and get
ready for the rest of the detail I have
a bucket that's specific for wheels and
tires and for the engine and for the
exhaust as well and I'm using specific
tools for those different parts of the
vehicle so that way I'm not using them
on the paint and causing any scratching
or marring because usually those areas
are a lot dirtier than the paint itself
so for the engine bay I'm using a
pressure washer to wash off the door
jambs get any leaves or dirt that is
kind of caked on that comes off easily
spray off those jams spray underneath
the hood and then focus on an
all-purpose cleaner and a soft bristle
brush to agitate the dirt that is in
those different areas that are harder to
reach and then rinsing those off of the
pressure washer
I like you the engine bay first to get
the dirt off the fenders and underneath
the hood before I actually start washing
the outside of the paint that way all
that dirt doesn't kind of start leaking
down as you're washing the car and
you're not introducing any dirt to that
surface after you've already washed it
and cleaned it in the first place for
the larger areas of the engine bay I
just have my wash mitt this is an older
wash mitt and that's kind of why I save
it for the wheels in the engine so I'm
using that to kind of wash the edges and
then rinse it off with my pressure
washer
[Music]
so for the wheels I like to initially
spray them off and then spray off the
inside of the wheel wells because that
is an area that a lot of people neglect
but there is a lot of dirt in there and
it's just a little extra touch that
elevates your detail afterwards
[Music]
I have several different brushes that I
use I have a longer bristle brush that
is actually bendable and I use that to
get behind the spokes get behind the
rakes in this particular car the Brembo
calipers are pretty big and it does fit
in those areas to get those calipers
clean get the inside of the wheel drums
clean and then I have a smaller bristle
brush that I use for those lug nut areas
that are harder to get to and for the
caliper bolts and things like that now
after I've done all of the scrubbing of
the tuile I like to rinse it off and
then apply my iron X which Iron X is a
newer product for me that I've actually
found to be extremely helpful with
getting that last little bit of grime
and iron off of the wheels and you can
see the color change which actually
helps tell you if it's working or not
all right now for the paint of the
vehicle I do follow the two bucket
methods which is two different buckets
with grit guards and then I do have to
wash myths that I use specifically for
the outside of the car if I need to
typically what happens is a lot of times
if you accidentally drop one I try to
just put that one inside and wash it
later on and then I have a backup mitt
already in my buckets it usually helps
me out with not timing to slow down the
process but the first step with any wash
is obviously rinse the car off with your
pressure washer and just straight water
first and then I'm using my foam cannon
to saturate the paint with just the
initial soaking of the vehicle before I
use my mitt now the foam cannon is one
of those things that people question
whether or not it's super effective or
if it's helpful it's kind of for show to
be honest I already have all the tools I
like to use it for fun and it does kind
of give it a cool effect now if you're
not familiar with the two bucket method
you do have two buckets one bucket you
has your soapy water with a grit guard
and then you have a rinse bucket that is
this specifically for rinsing your mitt
out after you wash a specific panel of
the vehicle now when you wash a car I
always start at the top and you want to
start with one side of your wash mitt
wash off one section of a panel and then
flip them right over and you can do
another panel and then rinse it off in
your rinse bucket and wring it out and
then you can put it back into your wash
bucket so that way you're not bringing
in any dirt into your leaned water
bucket as much it does help with cutting
down on the dirt and grit that actually
gets back onto the paint when you're
washing the next panel one other tip
that I do is I have these soft bristle
brushes that are boar's hair that I use
for any exterior agitation or small
cracked areas like here on the fender I
used it in the grill I used it in the
different emblems it helps get into
those areas that are really hard to
reach with a microfiber mitt with just
your finger now like I said I started at
the top I do work my way down but I
leave the bottom quarter panels the
front bumper and the bottom of the rear
bumper to last and they are usually the
dirtiest parts of a vehicle's exterior
and by saving those for last you're not
introducing that dirt onto the rest of
the paint
[Music]
now when it comes to drying I'm just
using a waffle weave drying towel and
then I have an air compressor as well
for some of those different little
cracks like the grill in particularly
here in the emblems on the side and it
does help with getting some of that
extra water out you can use an air
compressor on your door handles your any
any cracks or crevices it is helpful but
in this case the car was already pretty
effective at beating off water now for
my wax coat like I said the car is in
pretty good condition but there's always
a top layer that you could add to the
vehicle just to give that extra shine
and luster and in this case I'm just
using a basic synthetic wax this one's
from Chemical Guys and the reason why I
like to use just a basic synthetic wax
is because ceramic coatings and some of
these more high-end coatings that you're
seeing a lot of they're not hard to
apply but the prep is super super high
and to be honest for the average
enthusiast for the average car person
that needs to wash their car has a busy
job has kids whatever you guys got going
on and when you have busy lives when you
have a ceramic coating there's a certain
level of upkeep that has to take place
in order to preserve it and keep it
lasting as long as it does without
marring it and for me personally doing a
corrective once a year or once every
other year as long as I can keep my wax
level up and do this once every other
week once a month you can usually keep
kind of that sealant and that wax on the
surface enough that you really don't
have that bad of a finish over time and
if you are following two bucket method
and you're not driving the car through a
car wash you really don't have that big
of an issue with the paint getting
scratched up very quickly now for the
tires I'm just using a simple tire
dressing in my applicator pad to dress
the tires after they've been dried off
really really thrilled with how this
turn out making white paint look glassy
and wet like this is really really hard
to do and when you get it right it's
amazing so the painting exterior is done
it is now time to move to the inside of
the car and in fact we're going to start
with vacuuming and then we're going to
roll through the rest of the interior
I'm just gonna steam the door jambs and
kind of clean those up but the majority
of the car just needs to kind of be
wiped down and kind of cleaned up a
little bit because it doesn't have as
much dirt as I typically see what some
of my details so let's go ahead and get
started and like I said first start with
vacuuming now for any detail I mentioned
that the first step is vacuuming it's
obviously has to be pulling everything
out of the car first and then you can
follow with vacuuming and in this case
this is my wife's car it has two car
seats in and it has a lot of papers
Starbucks cups you name it but after you
get everything pulled out of the vehicle
go ahead and move into the vacuuming
stage which get as much out as you can
and I try to do vacuuming first because
when you're riping off the trim panels
on the lower door rockers or on the
sides if you have dirt on the carpet
already and you're wiping those panels
off after you've cleaned them or
scrubbed them you're gonna introduce
dirt back onto that surface so that's
why I like to do vacuuming first and
then at the very end of the detail if I
need to do a follow-up vacuum or like
more of a maintenance vac that is the
time to do it
[Music]
now as a nice little effect in the trunk
I've been kind of experimenting and it's
just a little added effect is putting
different carpet lines into the rear
carpet is this kind of fun something to
add to it they kind of give people more
of a visual like appearance that when
this person really took the time to
detail the car now if you guys have seen
my other videos I am a big fan of steam
cleaners so I'm using it to clean around
the all the different door jams in the
vehicle on the trunk the doors
everywhere I'm a big fan and big
proponent of steam cleaners they do a
really good job at lifting off dirt kind
of just using steam to do the job for
you instead of a lot of chemicals
[Music]
so I like to start at the front
passenger side door and I use the steam
cleaner to clean the door jambs around
the door itself and then also the car
itself and then I'm following up just
with Chemical Guys soak and shine too
then dress the panels because like I
mentioned the car wasn't extremely dirty
and all it needed to do is just get
wiped off and kind of dressed up again
and I'll follow this process as I move
around the car to the rear passenger the
trunk area and then all the way to route
to the driver's side
[Music]
now in the door jambs sometimes you need
to use a soft bristle brush to get some
of that dirt but half the time usually
just a clean microfiber towel and your
steam cleaner will get the dirt off and
allow you to get the rest of it off
after the second pass
[Music]
on the door sills when you first go into
the car that's where I using the steam
cleaner and bristle brush really does
become helpful because you have those
different seams and lines in the plastic
that are hard to get to just a steam
cleaner it helps kind of get that dirt
moving a little bit faster
[Music]
so I like to use Chemical Guys soaked in
shine because it's not really greasy and
doesn't really leave any sort of surface
like wetness to it like some other
products so I can use it on the seats I
can use it on the steering wheel I can
use it on the pedals without having to
worry about it being slippery after the
customer gets the car back
[Music]
are you really a messenger son to you
I won't close my door no matter what you
say bring it down the clothes are still
on my door they speak to me now
[Music]
so now for the leather seats I'm just
using a product that is more of a
conditioner because like I said they're
really not super super dirty and I'm
just trying to preserve them and keep
them shining and keep them from cracking
over time so I'm just using a basic
conditioner to wipe all the seats down
and even though they're not super dirty
just by using a conditioner and wiping
down the panel's you'll actually notice
your microfiber will pick up some of
that dirt as well which does kind of
help with making an easy way to just
kind of do a one-step process on your
seats
[Music]
is just so much
[Music]
now for any interior plastic panels
including the - Here I am just using the
chemical guys soak and shine to wipe
everything down like I mentioned earlier
it really gives it that nice luster and
it has that new car smell and it has a
UV protecting it to hopefully keep
everything from fading over time
[Music]
nobody else can take your place
I'll never want somebody
so for the windows grab two clean
microfiber towels and before you start
on the window roll the window down
halfway and get that top seam along the
edge on the inside and outside that way
when the customer rolls the window down
they're not going to have that dirty
edge of the very top that goes inside
the door jamb and because we've dressed
the doors already just take a clean
towel and spray your glass cleaner on
that do the inside and then move to the
outside of that door and work your way
around the vehicle doing all the windows
that way and then I like to follow up
with a second microfiber towel that is
specifically just for kind of cleaning
up wiping it down making sure there's no
streaking or add extra fluid that remain
on the surface
[Music]
also don't forget your side mirrors
don't forget your rear-view mirror
inside the car and also don't forget
about the sunroof and the rear inside of
your glass on the tailgate so if you
want to know what products I used in the
video please go ahead and check out in
the description box below I have
everything linked there for you
[Music]
now for the Floor Mats I'm just using an
all-purpose cleaner and a bristle brush
to go ahead and agitate and clean those
off drying it off and then topping it
with the Chemical Guys silken shine
[Music]
and here are the end results the car
turned out amazing I love the way that
the wax keeps the car shine and
especially on a white car I found this
to be one of the best waxes and topper
coats that you can use to make a white
car look wet that is really easy to do
on a darker color red or black paint but
on a white car that's really hard to do
to make it really shine like a darker
colored car and when you get it right
it's a really really cool feeling and
the interior turned out amazing as well
the topper coat I put on there really
makes even the carbon fiber panel shine
it makes all of the plastic trim look
brand-new it really makes the car look
like it just rolled off the factory
floor and it turned out great so if you
liked today's video make sure you're
subscribed down below give it a big
thumbs up and then in the comments I
want to see everybody's cars that they
drive I think it'd be really cool for
everyone to list them so that way we can
see what you guys are driving that watch
my videos and that will help me figure
out what cars you want me to detail next
so thank you guys so much for watching
and I'll see you in the next one bye
guys
