So, I pre rinse and foam as you do. I let it sit thick and dwell and breakdown the dirt n grit. I rinse again. I may do this 2 times if need be. Then I pull it into the garage and do a rinseless + waterless wash at the same time. Let me tell you, as I wash I check my towels and they are always clean. I’m really picky about this process and have refined this to the least amount of marring. Give this a try if u get some time.

Superb video and tips Brian. Overkill is an understatement, triple overkill. Rinse, foam and rise for pre wash, foam again, bucket multi mitt use, rinse, air dry. How long does the air drying take you with a leaf blower? I use a 160 mph leaf blower, an average size SUV takes near 25 30 mins to near complete no dripping including the wheels, barely use towel on flat surfaces. This has to be an $80 to $130 car wash with top of the line soap and complete wheel cleaning? For my vehicles weekly wash now I'm using cheap four cent an ounce blue corral, takes 2/3 of the foam lance ( 4 ounces) to foam a mid large size vehicle, good lubrication on contact, crappy drippy foam 😁. With 15-18 cent an ounce soaps use 2.5-3 ounces and use half of the foam lance bottle, still save 12-16 cents a wash, ha ha ha.

D Sylver this type of wash here is part of a maintenance package after a coating. The interior is freshened up and a topping is layered over the coating.

Agree, the only way to keep swirls and scratches off is to avoind contact. Often for maintance washes i try to pre soak and rinse and done but with bugs in the spring and summer in Pennsylvania that seems to be impossible. Also I will never use waterless wash that is the stupidest thing for detailed vehicles

I came out of the house July 5th to find fire works debris, ashes, on my truck. The neighbors shot off some fire works and the spent ash floated down to land on my truck , yard, driveway, etc. Lots to opportunities for stuff to get on a finished car or truck. By the way, it doesn’t appear any of the ash was hot when it hit the paint. Dodged a bullet there.

Your videos are awesome and I know you gave a nod to rinse less wash guys but I have to tell you you need to at least try it. I had a black 2015 Maserati GranTurismo that pros spent 30 hours on the car at significant expense and she had Cquartz pro on her. I’m a 777 pilot ex military and about as anal as the come. I live in a very caustic environment in my area with hard water, wind, and you name it outside and it got to where I simply could not stand to wash my car with the full 2 bucket method procedure. Once I went ONR with 1 bucket, distilled water, big red sponge, 500 GSM towels in the comfort of my own garage I never went back. The car only got BETTER over the two years of ownership. Zero scratches, swirls, or micro marring and trust me I was always looking under my garage LED lights and swirl finder. Test it out. It will save your sanity on your personal cars and allow you to enjoy your car MUCH more.

Apex Detail again the two are not the same. Waterless is a hyped up detail spray. Spray on wipe off. W/ Rinseless you should be still doing a presoak, rinse while using a safe contact wash method (like done in this video using multiple mitts) The only difference between soap and rinseless is theres no rinsing. Add a blow dry you should not get any marring. Now if you are starting with a car that hasn’t been wash in 2 months and dragged the mitt over the whole car in one swipe with no prerinse.. yea, you are going to scratch it regardless of which wash method you use.
@Maggie-tr2kd4 жыл бұрын
This was a first maintenance wash after a coating (package). You described the maintenance wash as part of the package. Is it typical for the client to then only have the car washed by the professional detailer at particular intervals or is the client expected to also perform some washes as needed using a safe method recommended by you in between any maintenance washes included in the package? By the way, I love the multiple mitt shampoo method !

Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing where did I mention anything about beading? Hydrophobic means to repel water. I was referring to sheeting. I'm very well aware what beading is. The sheeting(hydrophobic nature) of this coating did not look very strong compared to other coatings I've seen. So, you should think before you make any "silly" comments.
