0:13 Don't take your car to an automatic car wash. 0:47 Don't clean your car in direct sunlight or intense heat. 1:22 Don't use kitchen soap to clean your car. 2:18 Always use lubrication when cleaning your car. 3:20 Don't use a paper towel, beach towel, sponge, or an old rag on your car's paint. 3:44 Always clean from top to bottom. 5:26 Never clean in a swirling motion or in multiple directions. 5:44 Always use two wash buckets, one for soap and one for rinsing dirty towels. 7:13 If your towel touches the ground, don't touch your car's paint with it. 7:38 Don't put any slippery protective chemicals on your steering wheel, shifter, or pedals. 1:54 Bonus tip 1: Always clean out your wash bucket. 5:03 Bonus tip 2: When using a towel, always snap it out to remove loose grit or other debris. 8:04 Bonus tip 3: If using a weather/vinyl protection chemical, spray it on a towel instead of directly onto the interior of your car.

A couple tips, 1. Always check your towels for bits of plant debris or similar that get stuck in the little fibers that will most definitely scratch your paint 2. I have a 3 squeeze rule or a 2 dunk rule for rinsing my rag. Once before the first dunk in the rinse bucket, then dunk and squeeze x2.

Living here in Canada, when it's well below freezing in the middle of the winter, and the car is covered with a thick layer of road salt mixed with dirt, there's no option but to do the drive through car wash. Yes, it's definitely not the best thing for the finish of your vehicle, but it's far better than letting that salty dirt sit on your car for extended periods of time.

I would love to know what brand was on those labels! Keeping it a secret is one way he probably stays in business, but actually knowing precisely how to get the maximum "clean and shine" would be the legitimate secret, especially if an electric buffer is used. One can really make a goopy mess if wax isn't applied correctly. A buffer can screw up the paint and ruin the finish if one has never used a buffer, esp. with dark colors.. Ask me how I know this LOL! Very little pressure is necessary for outstanding results. And NEVER use a buffer to remove polishing compound!! I don't recommend even using a buffer and I no longer do. The swirl marks that resulted from buffing out the compound were unsightly and really made the truck look like s**t. I've found that cloth diapers make excellent polishing cloths, if you turn them often and use several. My favorite polishing product is "Nu-Finish" and gives great results, when directions are followed.

@darylcrosby5065 9 жыл бұрын

Jeremy quiring There is a difference between a spray head on a hose, and a power washer. go to your local stall style car wash and place your hand in front of the power rinse (no really dont do this)...a quick swipe can remove skin and muscle tissue. It won't slice your hand off (unless you worked on it for an hour or so), but it can hurt you quite severely. If you don't believe me, either myself or another local ER nurse will be greeting you shortly

Hi Chris. I always enjoy your very helpful videos. But let's go to #5 in the video. Great advice on what fabrics not to use. However I was told long ago that towels are fine for use on cars as long as they're ALL COTTON. They shouldn't be a blend of cotton and man-made fibers such as rayon, orlon, or nylon as those are actually hard. I remember when my wife bought some new bath towels and the darned things wouldn't dry you (absorb water)., They would just push the water around on your skin. Sure enough, I looked at the label and they were not all cotton. Of course it makes sense that a man-made fiber wouldn't absorb water and may actually scratch paint...

Chris- I really appreciate your videos, for the information as well as the production quality. Definitely will use some tips from this one to next time I wash my car. I may have missed it, but I didn't see a video from you on products you would recommend to clean rims, particularly ones with a lot of old brake dust built up (or instances where calipers went bad and left a lot behind). I've seen some videos where people swear Purple Power is great for it, and it looks like it makes it easy, but the actual product says not to use it on those areas... do you know if it's actually okay?

I’ve always used many of the correct methods you do. However, one I do differently is use a single bucket with a grit guard along with my micro fibre wash mitt that has tons of little “fingers” on it. It pains me when I see neighbours washing their cars with dirty rags or scrub brushes going all over the place.... I have to look away. Lol. Keep up the good vids.

Gurpreet Singh dish soap is used only when you're super-cleaning your car.That means removing wax,paint seal and everything else from the paintwork.Then you wax it again.After the supercleaning when your car gets dirty again you just snowfoam it with car soap and the wax is still there to protect the paint
