1st wash in a year?! How to DEEP CLEAN a dirty car

According to the owner, this BMW hasn't been washed in ... a year. You heard that right. A YEAR!!! How that's even possible is beyond us, but we're here to help:)

So, in this video, Nick and Yvan demonstrate the process of evaluating the vehicle/paint, strategizing about what to do and why, and then cleaning the exterior. Also included in this detail? A polish with the Gold Standard Polishing System.

I adopted the foam rinse foam method and I love the result. The less dirt on the surface the more peace of mind.

I used one bucket per panel. And after washing, I count each grain of dirt in the buckets and log it in a spreadsheet.

Yvan always approaches each vehicle and customized its treatment based upon years of experience. Nicely done!

“if shes proud of it, maybe shel take care of it.” Hasn’t worked on my sister.

I was doing the foam -> rinse -> foam -> contact wash -> rinse AND been using one bucket for some time now. Glad to see you demonstrating it is an ok method. I usually wait 10 minutes AFTER the first foaming.

Nick has done well to say about the foam from the gun not being thick- its not a measure of how well the product performs, foam is only just aesthetic! you just need lubrication between your wash media and the panel. Plus just having fun and enjoying simply cleaning your car! Its very ASMR for me!

Love it. I’m the same as you guys, if the cars hammered, soap wash. If it’s only a light wash it’s rinseless all the way. I’m waiting for your rinseless in the gallon size to become available in Australia, all stockists don’t seem to have it

Good looking BMW and excellent gloss for a one step polish! I have a daughter who is a senior in high school and her car care keeps me up at night. Hopefully we see this BMW back in six months!

Used all clean out of the 16 ounce bottle for rims and wheels. Getting a gallon and will dilute myself. Also, have the rinseless and incredible suds on the way. Iron remover was sold out. My winter wash is rinseless pump sprayed at home, drive to the self serve wash, rinse there and rinseless from the pump sprayer before driving home and rinseless on 2 microfiber towels and a twisted loop drying towel after I dress the tires. And rinseless on the interior using Yvans damp and dry towel method. Thanks for the YouTube education 😎

I still haven't cracked the code with vehicle polishing. I haven't stepped into that degree of detailing yet, it's kinda intimidating to me haha. But I feel like I want to adopt the DIY Detail method when I start to get into polishing. I definitely would want a cordless polisher though, I hate dragging around electric cables.

We recently washed my son's CRV. He's had it for a couple of years and never washed it. That's him. The paint needed clay, badly, but the iron deposits were relatively minor. After a quick one step, there were a few scratches and the marring was relatively minor. Silver paint that looked a shade brighter afterwards. Hope to have inspired him. Probably not.

Cool, that was allot of work but needed. Great info knowing there is more ways to get job done.

[Ulinoodle]

Have not gotten to try the whole line yet. Looking forward to trying some of the interior products. Stand outs for me so far, the Rinseless Wash, Ceramic Gloss, Gold Standard with the Waffle pad and the 8 year coating! 1 year in and it’s Still beading like day one❤

[waxmanvids]

Im excited you bought a gloss meter! I love using science to back up what our eyes perceive!!!

[Adkdetail]

I’ve just ordered a bunch of your products to try, I can’t wait!

[johnwhisenant]

I would love to see a video where you did one panel at a time like you was outside with the rinseless wash and iron remover and clay towel.thanks

[dannydaugherty]

I have different ways of washing my car depending on how dirty it is! I’ve done the two bucket method! I’ve done the multiple wash mitts! I’ve done one wash bucket with one ☝️ mitt! Do what makes a sense! If you enjoy it who can can it’s the wrong way! Jut have fun 👍

[patcreedon]

Just another though. I see you use wash mitts instead of legacy sponge when washing with incredible suds. Is the legacy sponge only to be used with a rinseless wash? Is is possible to use the legacy sponge with incredible suds?

[eddieblount]

I have the decon towel and i use it for contact wash im lazy and dont wanna wash car twice. And i use wheel acid .

[dannysandoval]

Another great video from DIY. Question Nick, with DIY decontamination towel, can you use DIY Rinseless Wash as a clay lube? Or is Incredible Suds better as clay lube?
