Hey ladies and gentlemen welcome to another episode of Detail Garage.
Today we have this big black GMC Denali and we need to make sure we get it clean.
It's a cool eighty degrees today so we wanna make this kind of fast.
I'm going to start off with the wheels I'll use a Concours Brush and some really good wheel cleaner.
Then I'll rinse the body and give it a nice foam down so we can make this process go a little easier.
I'm a big guy I really don't want to sweat too much so the foam is really going to make my life easy.
Plus they finally made a mitt my size which is really awesome.
So lets get this started I'm going to continue by rinsing the wheels and then I'll throw
on some wheel cleaner.
After that I'll foam it up and I'll start agitating with my brush to help get all the
dirt off these wheels.
After that we'll go into foaming the entire vehicle.
Lets get started!
So I'll work one wheel at a time so I can really focus on it and be very detailed because
at Chemical Guys that's what we're all about.
Keep in mind very little product goes a long way it's very concentrated and I'll let this
sit for a moment.
I'll get my foam ready I'm going to use Hybrid V07 soap because it gives really nice foam
and personally I really like how it makes the wheels look.
It almost gives it a just waxed look.
So I'll let that sit for a little bit to give it a chance to emulsify the dirt that is on the wheel.
I'm going to take precaution not to cause a sand paper effect by rubbing the dirt into the wheel.
I'll take my brush and get it wet with regular water and I'll start rubbing.
This is one of my favorite brushes because it's really long and it gets into all the
crevices super easily.
Also it's not too abrasive so I don't have to worry about scratching anything.
You can see that dirt is melting off.
I'm not going to aggressive I'm just agitating the surface and letting the chemical do the
work as well as the foam.
Just like that the rim is ready to be rinsed off.
I'll fire up my pressure washer and rinse this wheel off.
Now that I knocked out wheel number one it's time to move on to wheel number two, three and four.
So now you can see we got the wheels done.
We went ahead and we cleaned them safely using a really good wheel cleaner, foamed it, agitated
it and rinsed it off.
Now its time to get into the body.
The reason why I want to always start with the wheels is because it's going to make my
life a lot easier at the end of the day.
I'm going to give it a rinse and prep these buckets with Hybrid V07 soap.
Then we will foam it and get started cleaning it.
I'll be using these Dirt Traps and insert them all the way at the bottom.
I'm going to be using the two bucket method and the reason for that is because it will
reduce the sand paper effect.
What these Dirt Traps are going to do is trap all the dirt from the body at the bottom of the bucket.
This reduces the scratches and swirls in the finish.
So I'm definitely going use a bad ass lubricated soap like Hybrid V07.
The reason why is because the gloss it leaves behind and the lubrication it adds to my surface.
So not too much soap is needed to make sure this bucket is really lubricated.
Lets go ahead and rinse this truck and I'll also be using this bad ass new pole brush
and after all that we will get started washing it.
I just loosened up all the dirt on this GMC Denali and now it's time to foam it down and
pick up the remaining dirt.
So I just finished foaming it and now I'm going to wash it from top to bottom to make
sure I don't rub the dirt from the bottom all over the place.
I'm going to use this pole brush to start at the top and it's really cool because it
is unlike brush out there.
It has microfiber noodles on the face.
This is something I like to use because I don't like using a brush that will rub the
dirt into the paint causing a sand paper effect.
I'll dip it into my soapy water bucket.
Then I'll lay it on to the vehicle to be safe and I'll swipe in straight motions.
Since I already covered a good amount I'm going to rinse it out just so I'm not swiping
the dirt everywhere.
I'll get some fresh soapy water and repeat the process.
Even though I'm a tall guy this still makes my life easy and like I said in this heat
easier is better.
Now I'll get the other side.
The cool thing about this brush is I can easily get the windshield making my life easy.
I've taken care of the hard to reach areas using this pole brush I can start using this
awesome microfiber wash mitt.
Again it's big and fun and it'll easily cover a lot of surface area.
So always work in line motions because you don't want to add swirls into the surface.
And to be extra safe I'm going to constantly rinse my mitt.
You can see all the surface area this thing covers it"s awesome.
So I've just pulled her in and now I'm going to dry it.
I want to go over a couple methods to get this car dry.
Since this is a black car you want to be as safe as possible.
What I'm going do is show you three methods.
I'll show you the blotting method, the regular drying method using After Wash and then I'll
show you how to blow dry it.
To start off we will do the blotting method so we will take our super plush and extra
thick Woolly Mammoth Towel.
Lay the towel on the surface and you blot and this is actually pick the water up off
the surface without adding any additional swirls because there is no motion.
Now I'll lift it up and you can see it's beautifully dry.
Next if you don't want to blot the whole vehicle you take After Wash and mist the surface.
As you can it helps the water dissipate and lightly glide across the surface.
Just for speed and like I said I want to make this as easy as possible I'm going to blow
dry the whole vehicle.
I just finished blow drying this GMC Denali and there are a couple water spots left behind.
I'll make sure to get rid of the residual taken off.
What I'm going to do is use a really bad ass quick detailer Hybrid V07 and a good microfiber
to wipe off whatever is left behind.
I have some on the hood and all I have to do is spray and gently wipe.
Just like that I'll make sure that by the end of the day this truck looks crystal clear and super black.
I just finished wiping down this black Denali using V07 to pick up any remaining water spots.
I really want to take this truck to the next level.
It's a very expensive truck so I want to make it look beautiful.
I want it to look like a diamond when I return it to the customer.
So what I'm going to do is use Black Wax.
Black Wax is really awesome and it's super easy to use.
Usually we do it by hand application but to make life a little bit easier I'm going to
show you how to apply it with the TORQ 22D and a Black Hex-Logic Pad.
It's really simple to do I'm going to twist the can open.
Normally you would use a black applicator pad to scoop it out but since I do have gloves
on I'll just use my fingers and I'll make sure to spread it out on the pad.
So I'll take a little bit and evenly disperse it on the pad.
I'm not worried about applying too much because I'm going to coat the whole vehicle.
Now I'll attach my pad to the TORQ and lets get this puppy spread.
I'll go ahead and turn on my machine and dab out the product before I start spreading it out.
Then on speed setting one I'll give a thin even coat over the entire car using the TORQ 22D.
Just like that I applied this paste wax very easily.
The machine spread it super thin which will make it easier to take off.
Remember most of this product more doesn't mean it will be better.
Actually you need a really thin coat of wax to make life easy and make the finish look beautiful.
So I'll let this cure and while it's doing that I'm going to dress the tires to make
them pop like the paint.
For that I'm going to use Nice & Wet Tire Shine.
The reason I like Nice & Wet is because it does what it says it makes the tires look
nice and wet.
It's easy to use all you need to do is spray it and what I do is let it sit for a bit then
come back with a tire applicator and buff off the excess.
The reason why I want to buff off the excess is because I don't want to see all the fling
as I'm driving down the road on my way to my date I want my truck to look nice not like
it was spit on.
It's very simple to apply.
The foam helps guide me so that I know where I still need to apply this product and if
I get any over spray on the rims I'll just take a microfiber and buff it off.
So with a little bit of product you can see the tire already looks nice and wet.
But I really want to make sure that I get that excess product off.
I'll take my applicator and simply glide over the surface.
Not only am I pushing the product into the wheel but its going to help it bond and give
it a longer lasting shine.
It's really going to make this wheel and tire look beautiful for a couple weeks.
Just finished applying Nice & Wet to these tires and they look great.
Since it cured while I was dressing the tires I'm going to buff off this Black Wax using
our Red Line Microfiber Towel and this towel is nice and plush.
Already I'm noticing a significant shine as I'm wiping off the wax that is left behind.
I'm really looking forward to what it's going to look like when it's all gone.
Just like that we were able to make this black Denali look one shade darker.
It was really easy to do and it was really fast using the TORQ 22D.
Not only did it put a nice thin even coat over this entire vehicle but it made the cure
time significantly faster because of the thin coat.
