How to wash, clay and PROTECT your car in 21 minutes!

This video outlines how to wash, decontaminate and protect your vehicle -- think of this as a very quick "maintenance" wash, one that actually deep cleans the paint and leaves protection behind at the same time. There are many more steps involved in a "deep dive" detail, but this method is actually more than just a basic wash. We hope you enjoy the method, and let us know if you have any questions!

My 7 and 9 year old sons always ask to help wash my cars. DIY details products are easy to put on, require low effort, and make cleaning the cars something that’s quickly done even outside. Appreciate the videos and products you guys offer.

I just found you guys the other day. An absolute gem of a channel. You guys have great chemistry and are fun to listen to and learn from. Also subscribed to your podcast. Keep up the great work!

Just spent the day polishing and putting the 3 year coating on my pickup. I don't think it has ever looked better.

Always a pleasure watching you both work and give out great tips! Keep it up. 👍🏻

I'm a bit confused. I viewed an older ESOTERIC YouTube video which suggested to never clay the paint unless it will be machine polished afterward as claying will cause marring and scratching. He suggested that it was better to just chemically decontaminate and have a bit of crunchy contamination left than to have scratched paint. Are your new Perforated Synthetic Decontamination Towels safer than claybars? Love your videos. Thanks!

Cool to see you both cleaning the wheels with rinseless wash, added bonus is the rinseless acting like a drying aid afterwards; I love that and never thought of that aspect despite it being so obvious.

Man I need me somewhere nice like that to detail cars!

Thanks, Nick, for explaining that you don't need to polish after every time you use your synthetic clay towel. But if I were to "clay" wipe once a month along with a regular contact washes, would that eventually shorten the life of my coating?

I can't wait to wash my truck with this once my garage is fully converted. Plan on buying a bottle of rinseless wash and compare it against the P&S i've used a couple times. So far from the P&S I'm impressed at the cleaning power and safe use of it even on a truck that doesn't get washed on a regular. Post harvest season dirt will be the ultimate test to your rinseless wash Yvan.

Great video. Adding this service to my menu! ❤

Cool video! Question...why is it considered wrong to have glossy tires? I know that the OEM look is the standard for detailing tires, but a car that comes out of the factory or from a dealership lot is NEVER as glossy as a car that's been professionally detailed like the one in this video. Why is it wrong to want both your car and your tires to be glossy? Please advise.

Great job, enjoyed watching and learning.

After you applied the first layer of rinseless wash, would it be beneficial to let it dwell a little longer before rinsing it off?

[nikt]

recommendation for cleaning the decon towel after claying? just rinse with water?

[AnthonyPistelli]

Hi, guys! I love your videos. Been watching for a little while and wanting to start washing my truck at home. Been guilty of using the car wash and have some swirls. My truck is pretty new, only 6k miles on it, so the paint isn't terrible but there are some swirls. Will this method help with the swirls? Thanks! Keep it up!

[robtaylor]

Great video ! Can you provide the make/model of that amazon electric sprayer Nick is using. Thanks

[jlb]

Like that bucket dolly and that creeper seat you have there. Where can we find them?

[geddycostello]

I really like the color of that Mercedes-Benz.

[TomScelfo]

Please provide a link to the dolly that Yvan uses for lower portions of the car - it looks perfect!

[laxbeach]

Not really a Mercedes fan, but man that car looks good. Even better by end of video.
