- Hey what's up guys,
welcome back to the Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Today we're going to be going over something different,
we are going to be going over
the top five detailing mistakes you might have encountered,
I might have encountered
or a lot of people have been encountered.
So sit back, relax and enjoy
we'll meet you guys at the tires.
To start off we'll start off with the wheels.
The wheels are the dirtiest part of the vehicle
I mean your wheels are going to go through it all
they go over mud, they go over dirt, they are on asphalt.
But a common mistake we always encounter
is you forget to degrease your tires
before applying a dressing.
And I cannot stress this enough
if you do not degrease your tire
before applying the dressing,
the dressing is just going to fail.
Because imagine just stacking it and stacking it
and over time the dirt and grime and previous dressing
that the owner has applied on their vehicle
is just going to not allow
the new tire dressing to bond properly,
you can use an all purpose cleaner such as Nonsense.
So Nonsense is an all purpose cleaner
that can be basically used around your whole entire vehicle.
I mean, your undercarriage, your tires, your engine bay,
your leather, your fabric seats, your carpet,
anywhere you might think that Nonsense can be used,
you can basically use it.
So just be sure to dilute it to your needs
whenever you're using it
and this occasion I am using it directly out of the bottle,
because this tire is filthy
and it has a previous dressing that I'm trying to remove.
So whenever I apply a dressing such as VRP,
it's going to bond property.
So I already have my nifty brush
and excuse me if I don't get a perfect line
I'm going to give you as a hardcore 50, 50
just I could show you guys
how clean this tire can actually get.
So I'll get my Nonsense bottle,
I will sprayed it on the area
and it's okay, if Nonsense gets on the wheel.
I'll just simply wipe it off, give it a couple sprays.
Now spray my nifty brush,
and I'll just scrub it back and forth.
So what Nonsense is going to do
is going to start penetrating the tire
and remove the old previous dress
you guys can already see that the foam is turning brown
that is just all the grime
that the tire has or previous dressing.
Make sure everything is completely scrubbed out,
and then you get a clean microfiber towel.
I'm using a green microfiber towel
just I could show you guys how dirty this tire actually is.
So, I wipe it,
and then I'm flip over my towel to show you guys,
look how dirty it is.
All that is just old previous dressings
and dirt that is sitting on the tire.
So just imagine if you apply a tire dressing like VRP
over this is not going to bond property.
So if I rube my finger on it, my tire is now clean,
it's ready for a dressing such as VRP.
And this is mistake number two, you apply too much dressing,
so whenever you drive off it splatters all over your paint
and your detail basically goes to waste.
So before using a tire dressing,
you always need to shake it up.
In this occasion I am using VRP,
VRP is a water based dressing
that can be used on the interior vehicle
as well as your exterior vehicle, it's tried to touch,
the shine level one through 10 I will rate it at a 7.5.
It's very shiny, you want something super shiny,
you could go with G6 Hypercoat.
So just open up the spout and get my microfiber applicator,
I'll apply one line, that is basically all I need
and I always like to start off with less,
just in case if I need more, I can reapply and get more.
But in this occasion,
you never want to overshoot it or over apply it.
So just blotch it out on the area working on
that's how far I cleaned it,
and I'll rub it on.
As I am rubbing it on, VRP is penetrating the rubber
and is not going to be all oily
is not going to be over applied,
it's going to have a nice even coat
and if I touch it, it's dry to touch.
So this Lexus was to drive off right now
it will not splatter onto the tire,
and it's not going to deserve the look of the vehicle.
So clean hand again, rub my hands on it,
and they're still clean.
That is because I degreased the tire,
the tire dressing is bonding properly to the rubber
and that's how you make your tire shine last longer.
So enough talking
I'll meet you guys on mistake number three.
Do not wash your car in direct sunlight
if you do not have filtered or deionized water, why?
To start off one, the panels on your vehicle
are going to be hot and if it's too hot,
the water is going to dry up on you.
And if you don't have filtered or deionized water
that can cause water spots,
especially if you're using a soap
and it just dries up on you.
It's just going to cause you more headaches.
You might get water spots
and at the end of the detail or at the end of the wash.
Did you get a clean hot car or did you get more headaches.
So avoid washing in direct sunlight
and whenever you do wash in direct sunlight,
be sure to use filter water
and make sure your panels on your vehicle are not super hot.
And we're going to be moving on to mistake number four
and that is using a clay bar, dropping it
and picking it back up and reusing it on your paint.
So if you're not familiar with a clay bar method,
you have to use it with synthetic lubricant like Clay Luber
so I will give it a couple sprays
your clay in right for example, your clay accidentally...
I'll hover my clay bar over a non-vehicle surface
and as you can see it starts unattaching
and if I drop it, it's like bubble gum,
I mean, it's going to pick up everything
that's on this floor.
So if you guys look closely at it,
now it has grime, rocks, their is little pebble right there.
But imagine you're putting this back
on the surface of your vehicle,
or you're re-molding it and reusing it,
all of that contamination is going to scratch your vehicle.
So if you drop your clay bar unfortunately, just toss it out
get a new piece and like this you avoid marring
and scratches and you save headaches.
So after this, we're going to move on to mistake
number five, and I'll see you guys then.
And finally, mistake number five
that we're going to be covering today
is going to be using two towels when cleaning your glass.
By this you're reducing chances of causing streaks
and you don't going to have any residue
so whenever you're driving down the highway,
down the street, you have a clear vision.
So I have Streak Free Window Cleaner in my hand
and whenever you clean it,
you also do not want to overuse product
because if you overuse product,
it's going to be a little bit more difficult
for you to wipe it off.
So how I like to clean my windshields,
whenever I'm cleaning a car is I give it three sprays
one, two, three that is going to be more than enough
to cover half of the windshield.
So with my a towel is going to just
and wipe it in one direction
and whenever I clean exterior glass, I wipe it vertical
like this on the interior of the glass,
I'll just be wiping horizontal.
So just in case I see a streak
I know exactly where it's coming from.
So with one towel I wiped it on, there's still some residue.
Now get a clean microfiber towel and just buff it off
and this is how you get a streak free view
when using Streak Free Glass Cleaner.
You can also even flip it over,
down here it's a little bit more difficult to go horizontal
'cause I do have the wipers.
So check that out, it's not streaky, it has a clear vision
and it also causes that nice reflection
that glass should always have.
