I'm getting my first car EVER and i want to give it SO MUCH LOVE by taking care of the basic maintenance properly. Thanks for this video!!!

Drying stage is probably one of the most underrated stages that people look over. It can definitely do damage if you don't use a dedicated lubricant and microfibre towel to dry those panels

[LetsDriftMedia]

I just purchased my first newish car, and all of a sudden im interesting in proper ways to wash my car without leaving swirl marks lol thanks for the video.

I like the two-wash mitt method. One mitt for the top of the car and one wash mitt for the bottom portions. I also like spraying with a foam cannon a second time (after pre-wash) to lather the car and use a soap bucket. Guaranteed lubrication and requires a bit less scrubbing which your body may thank you for later.

Finally someone brought up the touchless wash. A lot of people overlook this process especially if you have no time or live in an apartment. I find this method safer and time saver if hand washing isn’t available. even then, you could still scratch your paint doing handwash if it’s not done properly.

My way of washing touchless wash and hopefully some will find this helpful. Although people will say that touchless wash removes waxes which is TRUE only if you use the heavy soap in their system.
Key is: use presoak, rinse, air dry only. This works very well for me. Now it’s not as clean but I found a way of doing a next step by using a waterless wash for the final wipe down to remove all the dirt residues etc. Since the dirt etc. have been loosen up. It didn’t scratch my paint whatsoever as long as it’s done properly.
This process takes me only 30 minutes.

My car is daily driven, parks outside 24/7 so I wash it weekly.

Hope this helps people out there who live in an apartment and don’t have a lot of time washing their car.

Thanks Jason for bringing up this another method to enlighten people out there when hand washing isn’t available.

Maaan, I'm really learning something new every time I watch one of your videos, now I need to get one more bucket, 1 wash and 1 rinse.

[KillermanV]

Optimum no rinse and ammo frothe are great ways to wash cars when you can't use a hose or it's freezing outside

[kallouttv]

Made so many mistakes washing my last car as I have learned watching your videos over the past few days. Just got a new 2021 and will be applying new knowledge. Just need to get my hands on a foam cannon.

[roysyntageros]

For first rinse I prefer Car Cleaning Guru's method of first up snow foaming the car to emulsify the dirt and add lubrication to the paint work for dirt to slide off on.

Thank you for the great vid extremely helpful!
Here is my solution, I to live in Chicago and it’s extremely harsh as I’m sure you know, to keep cars clean and especially black ones is next to impossible. Couple years ago I’ve made it my mission to try every product out there possible and test it on each of my cars trying to find best protection taking in to a count cost for the detailer every month and paint correction after winter.... After couple years of testing I think that I found my perfect combo worry free and always looking mega clean! What I did with my current daily (S63 Black) is took her straight from the dealer with zero to none damage to my detailer, wrap the entire car in clear self healing film and Ceramic coat it! Bingo!!!

Yes yes most would say that’s expensive and yes it is cost me 3 grand up front but keep in mind $0 dollars to my detailer for 3 years for maintenance cleaning, $0 dollars for products and In the pinch I literally fly in self service bay grab that nasty brush (if needed not always) clean up the mess and once sun hits it wrap heals it’s self and car looks brand spanking new. Not a single swirl mark or anything ever....that’s my solution and it’s working 100%.

[corpuzone]

Nice tutorial, but last time I’m owning a black car. No matter what one does, scratches and anything can be seen easily. I need to wash my black car but this is nice to see on my algorithm lol. You guys are definitely meticulous and pros excellent job!

I recently discovered your channel and your quickly becoming my favorite detailing channel!!! I'm a diy weekend warrior and looking to learn more to up my game. Many channels push products to make money. Im a minimalist and hate needing so much equipment and different products, cleaners, supplies, ect ... Too easy to fall into a rabbit hole always looking for the next best thing. I plea with you to come out with more beginner simplistic videos that you give advice on what minimal equipment and specific methods and supplies you need to improve car detailing 90% better than the average person. I'm trying to create a car care routine that I can implement and use on a regular basis without constantly seeking out new improved methods and products. I'm looking for a tried and true simple quick and effective routine I can use for years to come. I really like the idea of doing a monthly maintenance wash, starting with a wash using a traffic film remover or best method to strip old wax/grease/film, followed by drying (not sure if towel vs leaf blower is faster as I'd prefer using just one method), followed by a wax and grease remover like duplicolor, followed by some type of paint sealant. My thought is to strip all wax each time I wash the car and then just apply a fresh coat of paint sealant after each wash. If I perform this routine 30 days I can have max protection and avoid needing frequent paint corrections. I figured doing a light clay with light polish correction once per year. What's your thoughts on this method and and suggestions would earn a long term new supporter!!!! Thank you!

Great video! What PSI is the pressure washer set on?

[archiepezek]

I don't like dragging my pressure washer out to use on my car, so I bought the foam cannon from Chemical Guys that has the attachment for a normal garden hose. It doesn't give the real thick foam that a pressure washer does, but it still does the trick. Thanks for the great video!

[MrUpsidedowngaming]

Our local touchless has a undercarriage pressure washer system that spans the entire width of the bay. This being a salt rich environment in the winter, there tends to be long lines to keep the rust at bay!

[lberch]

I like how complicated washing a car really is. I like how it makes me want to rip my own head off

[burb]

Many self-service (quarter car washes) have signage stating “no bucket washing”. Makes sense because it probably adds considerable time for the average customer. I show up with my buckets already filled and ready to go. I’ve still been bitched at even when there wasn’t a line.

[JohnD]

I actually use 5-6 wash pads, one for hood/windshield/roof, one for front grill/bumper, another for trunk/tailgate/bumper, then one for each for passenger and drivers side. Costs a bit more, but i feel more confident washing this way as opposed to just one mitt and 2 buckets. Thank you for the vid.

[nicksdragon]

Excellent as always. I have gravitated over time to the one side of one mitt per panel for my cars at home but the two bucket method for the cars I do during the week.

[devnull]

Screw it, buying ten wash mitts and dumping bucket number 2. Excellent video!
