Thank you so much for your video! As a woman, nobody ever taught me anything car related and just encouraged me to let the men handle it but i want to be more hands on with my little Yaris and i found your video perfect. Everything you mentioned is easy to obtain and i don't need to buy all of those hundreds of different soaps. Thank you from the bottom of my heart😊

nice one, but the thing is, it doesn't really matter where you wash it, as a mechanic, what really matters in the long run is the buttom end of your car and the engine bay. I've seen countless cars with shiny outside but terribly rusty lower end and extremely dusty under-the-hood area. Those dust and rust are gonna eat up your frames, connectors, screws, brackets and a lot more, costing your more money you've saved from DIY washing your cars

@tianic Жыл бұрын

@@Nicole.Sisson common household water hose will suffice. Try using regular flow instead of high pressure because the force is gonna let moist into the connectors. cover your battery poles and alternator when you wash the engine bay.

False. It absolutely matters where you wash it. A crappie automated car wash can damage your paint as stated in this video. That being said, washing the undercarriage is also advised, and safely washing engine bay is ok also. The methods are not mutually exclusive to each other

I don't get this, you covered the vehicle in plastic? You could have put a ceramic coating on the vehicle or used a ceramic turtle wax. Sometimes less is better, in the cruel hard north when the temperature is just above freezing we take a 40V Worx power washer with a 5 gallon pail on rollers and just wash off the salt, sand and grime off with warm water. Just so you can read your license plate, the headlights and tail lights can be seen. Or you could just put snow in your micro fibre cloth and scratch the mud off the plastic and glass. The problem is most presure washers break when they're stored below freezing and most people don't heat their garage so they're useless 6 months out of the year. The Worx cordless power washer can be stored indoors, you just slap on the batteries and you can wash every car in the block.

I do a lot of freeway driving so I invested in a paint protection film for the front of the vehicle. I like the idea of ceramic coating but it would provide very little protection against rock chips.
