Legend says....scott showers himself with Super Clean and Purple Power! 😁

Boy oh boy did you swat the hornet's nest on this one Scott!!! Daily drivers get abused, full of oils and tar that regular soap just won't get off. I don't understand why so many people are angry here. Your solution is EFFICIENT and EFFECTIVE and the customer is HAPPY! Folks, remember, he's hustling to pay bills and not looking to spend an entire day washing one car.

I find myself watching these videos over and over again Scott. Thanks for all the valuable information you provide us 👍🏻 Ian

9:05 You'll need: Purple Power PH 10 Soap Meguiar's G18309 Ultimate Fast Finish

I used meguiars fast finish yesterday for the first time. I love it! now I gotta try the purple power! Scott you have always saved me and my pocket book lots of $$$. You just make sense!

I love how you preach to us, man Always put everything into words so perfectly.

Scott you are my spiritual detailing sherpa. Thank you thank you thank you for your videos. I watch you almost every night. You have taken my game to the stratosphere.

Scott, thanks for the video. I went out and bought a can of ultimate fast finish soon after watching. The can normally $18.99 was on sale for $9.55 at a local auto parts store. I was pleasantly surprised. Keep up the great work you do.

Last year I did a full 2-step paint correction, clay, and acrylic-based sealer (Chemical Guys M-Seal) on my white Toyota Tundra. I washed it every week (pH neutral soap) and used an acrylic-based detail spray (Garry Dean's Force Field Boost) to dry or any time dust or bugs accumulated. I thought it looked great until one door was recently repainted. The rest of the paint looked very dingy next to the new paint. For a moment, I thought the shop used the wrong color. They had not used the wrong color white, so I realized that grime was the culprit and used every cleaner in my arsenal until finally I sprayed Megs Wheel Acid (4:1) and used a Magic Eraser to get off an amazing amount of accumulated filth, even though the truck had looked very shiny and repelled water with excellent beading. I then clayed & polished the entire truck again and applied a silica-based coating this time. (Black Fire Crystal Coat) My truck is 9 years old and is startlingly white again. Because grime had snuck in no matter my diligence, I no longer try to preserve the sealer on my maintenance customers' vehicles, using expensive systems. I use a caustic soap, (acid works great but you have to be careful not to have any glass etching) usually Purple Power, and then any good sealer that you can wipe on and buff off easily. (Ultima Paint Guard Plus is a terrific WOWA) Scott is revealing the simple truth of effective detergent release of grime from a surface. It is easier and cheaper to have better results if you will but heed his words.

Thanks again for the invaluable tips!!! Love the content keep em coming....

I tried the purple power soap in the foam gun as a clay lube after the wash process. Works great and much cheaper than any other I've tried besides maybe onr wash & wax. But being able to do 90% of the work with one product is a winner in my works!!!

Wow so eye opening! Thank you very much for your content, this video is definitely changing the way I look at everything!

About time you made another video! Insightful video, thank you.

This will be my maintenance wash for client cars going forward. Great results and cost effective for maximum efficiency/profitability. Thank you for a fantastic vid. 👍

You sir are a genius. I appreciate how much information you continue to give all of us keep up the great videos!

Scott, you are one of the best in the car detail game. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

This is the video that opened up my eyes when I was first learning about auto detailing. 👍

Awesome video, it opened my mind up to a new way of doing things and appreciate your knowledge

Scott, your very correct about this. I even tested this overtime and you end up with a cleaner car more of the time then you would trying to hold a sealant for long periods of time. I washed my girls car the other day with PH neutral soap and there was still tree sap (that has been there for a year) on the car that would not come off. Switched to a non PH neutral soap and the junk lifted off. The car appeared cleaner and was smoother to touch (i had been using neutral soap before that). I switched my method to soaking and washing the no PH neutral soaps and adding a sealant then spray wax after each wash. Cars look fantastic, dust sticks less to them, cars look wet and smooth. The logic is sound, just not popular.

Makes perfect sense...I've been diluting some APC in my foam cannon and foam my car with it before a wash...not sure if that's the best idea or not but dear god my paint is spotless every time I do it...takes tree sap and other contaminants right off and seems to extend the amount of time in between needing to clay bar

Amen. Im done with high dollar sealers with road grime on them. Purple Power, blow dry, and Meguiars Quik Wax.

Thanks for the tip! I learn so much from your videos!

I would love to see this guy and ammonyc go at it lol

Scott there is TOO MUCH TRUTH in this video... youtube might shut it down - PS i love you

Been using this mentality that you present for the past year or 2. I was in that rabbithole and this has made me feel better about washing my car. I do rinseless now and start with a dose of Super Clean on the panel. Let it sit, then start with the Wolfgang SiO2 wash and it works wonders. I dont scrub the super clean since i maintain my car every week. I scrub about once a month and just wash rinseless all the time. I use turtle wax ICE wax as my drying aid and protection to top off. :)

Hey Scott...Have you ever used one of them big red shaggy mop thingys to clean dust off a car? I seen one at the local wal-mart and the package said it was just as good as washing. So what's the scoop with those? Thanks and Love your videos man! -- Lot of useful and helpful info on those. Thanks for taking the time to post for us regular folks.

Nicely done Scott! Luv the vids.

FYI. There are several "Purple Power" products. make sure you get Purple Power Heavy Duty Boat and Vehicle power wash concentrate.

Hi Scott, Been watching your videos for a few weeks now and leaned an awful lot about detailing my car. I don't know about all the tech stuff just that your a pro and if i follow the steps with products you advise my 15 year old car will look the best it can so keep the videos coming thanks bob.

Hi Scott. Love you vids I learn quite a bit from you. Where I am in Australia is Purple Power used as dishwashing detergents? I am trying to find the Aussie equivalent. Keep up the good work

Hey Scott I love the channel. Would you consider listing the products your recommending with a link to amazon. Your outing out great info and it will make them easier to get. Can't wait to use this method on our new Lexus (2000) but great condition. Thanks

Can you make a video on how you price you maintenance package thanks very good videos you have a lot to offer

This video makes perfect sense gonna do this ASAP more people should do this and not work so hard keep up great work on these videos!

Love this, Scott! Sadly, Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish is getting hard to find. What other products might take its place as an affordable, long-lasting, fast & easy applying sealant?

Hi Scott! Nice to see another informative video. When using the Ultimate Fast Finish do you apply it to the panel or an applicator? Also, as far as clay bar with so many available any recommendations? Thanks again for the valuable information.

On rinseless; if I feel like I need to kick up the cleaning ability of my rinseless wash I'll pre-soak the panel with a little bit of rinseless, then spray on and let dwell a properly diluted APC, do a first pass to remove the dirt/grime/APC, then do a second pass to make sure I got all of the APC so that it doesn't dry on the paint. Takes a few extra seconds, but I feel (I have no real proof, right) like it works well enough. I also protect the paint after every wash.

Why is fast finish hard to find now? It use to be everywhere now I can’t find it.

Hey Scott, Love your Videos!!! I am learning so much about detailing from you, not in the industry but just wanting to keep my vehicle as clean and protected as possible. What do you suggest for us up here in Canada that can't seem to get Purple Power? What is a good non-ph neutral wash on a retail level that will do the Job? Love you Brotha!!

Used some Purple Power Vehicle wash yesterday for the first time - boy howdy does it take EVERYTHING off the surface of your paint! I had multiple layers of sealant and spray wax on the car and with a foam cannon and about 10 minutes the paint felt like it was new (and not in a good way). The surface of the car is very, very clean - just had to add my wax back on. After seeing the video about "traffic film" I'd come to realize that smooth/slick may not actually mean clean. I'll go back to my normal car wash for "regular" washes but the Purple Power is awesome to use to get that back to paint clean. Thanks again Scott - hopefully you're not in the area hit by Harvey.

They don't sell purple power vehicle and boat here in Canada. I found a product called Prestone Vehicle and Boat cleaner. Do you know if they are similar

Nerd fight!! Great video. Always looking out for the consumer!

Scott, your videos are great and I respect your knowledge. I'm wondering, if I regularly wash the car with purple power and apply Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish afterward, how much benefit am I getting from an annual or biannual application of paste or cleaner wax? In other words, do I really need to wax anymore?

Thanks for the info. Great video's.

Excellent video Scott! Finally another marketing myth on detailing products debunked. Great content and very easy to follow.

Scott, you're being mentioned on Autogeek.net regarding this soap and other PH neutral soaps.

Scott, thanks for all your work, I was wondering if this meguires is applied to plastic trim as well, can't seem to find an answer thanks have a great Sunday

My sealant is supposed to last around 3 years (quartz) it's been 1.5 years so far and water still beads very well, and I maintenance wash around every month, car is a daily driver. The wash water is dirty but not overly dirty, and my car looks amazing after I wash it with my ph neutral soap.I would prefer to only go over the entire vehicle once every few years than every other week. If you are trying to procure constant, recurring business I guess this way is ok, but I'll stick to my way.

Wow! Really enlightening!

Hi Scott. I’m new to your channel and I love your videos. I live close to your old stomping grounds in Harrisburg PA and was wondering what would be the best way to maintain my vehicles during the fall, winter, and early spring since the temps are colder than the 55 degrees recommend by UFF?

Might I suggest you link this video to your, "What Is The Best Car Soap?...Does It Matter!" video. That video clearly demonstrates the limitations of pH neutral soaps and bolsters part of your argument. In fact, it almost made me retire my pressure washer. :-)

Well mind blown. Just wish I watched you in this video a month sooner. I just spent $200 dollars in wax and the "items" to "protect" the wax. Great vid from now on I will save 188.75 every year!

On the site of purple power they say it can “Possibly destroy the clear coat surface and damage the paint “ is this true?

I’ve been watching you for a while Scott, I appreciate your opinion and you have helped me a great deal since I’ve found this channel. I would like to know your thoughts and opinion on ceramic coating? Thanks

NonpH soap and Meguiars ultimate fast finish 7:16

What are your thoughts on ceramic coatings, can they stop traffic film from making their way into the clear coat and if they do can the traffic film be easily removed with ph neutral soap?

Scott ? is that purple power degreaser ? And how much ..do I use I ask because purple power makes a car soap as well ? So which one ? Do I use ??

Very interesting. And I get the reasoning behind it. So does this mean you'll no longer use other sealants and waxes? You kind of make it sound like you don't need anything else. I'm not disagreeing with you at all. I love your videos. You've opens my eyes to a lot of things. I've always used PH neutral soaps. I wash my car 2-3 times a month, maybe more. My cars are always outside. I can go out and clay at any given time and you won't see much on the clay of anything when finished with the whole car. I'll use paint Sealant and then in a couple weeks I'll wax it using a paste wax or whatever I choose. Water beading is always there and dirt and grime wash off with ease. I'll usually re-seal about every 3 months, of course I strip the old off before. Again I'm not disagreeing, I actually agree with what you're saying. I'm just saying PH neutral soaps are effective IMO. And they still can clean the paint if it's maintained well. I use Meguiars D111 soap shipped for like 26 I think from Amazon. I've had it for months now, still plenty left.

Will this method keep a 944 with guards red single stage paint from oxidizing? My old method of paste wax is not working. It oxidizes as soon as it sees the sun. Thanks for your videos, Scott.

Scott, good point but if I do a full "strip" and decon wash, clay sealant and wax 2xs per year. Is that still the rabbit hole? I would think the sealant and wax would repel the contaminants

I really enjoy these videos, and I like the no B.S. information! And I like that you sound like Howard Stern!

I think that once diluted with water to the correct concentration the purple power soap would be about the same ph as a neutral ph soap. It would be interesting to do a test. Test the ph of the water you would be using, test the ph of a ph neutral soap diluted to the correct amount, and then test the ph of the purple power soap diluted to the correct amount. I can almost guarantee they would be about the same.

Thumps up excactly i had this in my mind when o month ago witch started to.read about detailing... Something it didnt seems correct to me.....wash top clay top polish top wax and then quick wax to maintain....it didnt conviced me...and all the forums the first advice in the amateurs who wants to simple wash and a little protect their car is......Buy nautral shoap ...buy nutrtal shoap....unfortunatelly they dont think out of the.....company catalogs......greatings from Greece. I have a question ...i cannot find a proper alakaline shoap in my cauntry such as purple power,we have autoglym(you sould try those..remember me) sonax, 3m, chemigal gyus, manzerna, meguaris turtle wax,1z e.t.c but i cannot find a cheap daily wash shoap. Can i add in a neutral shoap some apc and have the same results as purple.power??

Scott, a little late to comment on this video but Meguiars synthetic express spray wax works well to quickly get around the car too.

Love your videos but what's your opinion on soap that are a pH level of 10 insteadaybe something like a 7 or 8? Chemical guys citrus wash and gloss is apparently a 7 or 8 pH level. Would you consider that something strong enough to clean the car from road film?

I see how this is effective I do have a question what can you use as a drying aid be for you apply fast finish?

After I clay bar my car can I wax it with paste wax then follow up with the Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish for a sealer?

I know you get a lot of people calling you out for being paid by Meguiars etc - I don't think that's the case. But I do think Callaway are secretly sponsoring you - all those shirt placements ;-) On a serious note, does a Ph neutral soap take off the Meg's Fast Finish? I live in a super dusty part of the world so have to have to wash the car twice a week. Could you do the alkaline wash once a month and fast finish and then Ph neutral wash twice a week with no fast finish in between, or even Ph neutral twice a week and Fast Finish once a week?

Hey Scott. What should I do when I have a higher quality sealant that last 12 to 9 month? I don't wanna strip it off, but want to clean it good.

Wow thanks for the video I've been doing it wrong my whole life!

So just wash with purple power then rewax? Or does the purple power not fully strip the wax and just needs a bit of extra on top?

What about the Meguiar's Car Wash Plus, Scott? Would the polishing agents in the product clean off the road film? Mike Phillips has an article on the topic of traffic film in an Autogeek forum.

Scott do you use the 6oz. per gallon dilution ratio for this even when you're not going to run it through a pressure washer?

Scott, is the purple power soap safe for coated vehicles? I'm thinking not. What is your experience?

So, my complete paint routine can look like this: -Wash with Purple Power Veh & Boat. -Chemical decontamination (is there anything incompatible with Purple Power? ) - Clay bar - Meguire's G18309?

For anyone that own's a WHITE car try using a non-ph soap & you will see what Scott is preaching about! I never knew after years of washing that i was looking at a beige tinted white car lol. I use Fast Finish often & Turtle Wax As You Dry on my lazy days (which in my eyes is a great,cheap,time saving product that leaves your car with a glossy shine) . Im debating jumping on the ceramic band wagon after i correct my paint this spring but the stripping & sealing method might be the end all for me! Thank Scott for opening my eyes!!!!

Scott. How about rinseless washes? And is it still good practice to use a solvent based wax and grease remover after washing

I'm say this one thing i trust and believe in Scott if it works it works if it helps me get the job done and my customers are happy with the job and keeps my coming back then I did what i set out to do Great Video my FRIEND!!!!

So how much soap do you use? I ended up filling up the foam cannon with purple power since it wasn’t foaming...maybe I have to much water pressure.

After wash with pH shampoo simply use Quick Detailer With good Cleaning abilities contains no protection you already use Megs Ultimate Fast Finish then you need to use UQD .

So what do u think about dawn soap? I have a ceramic coating, and I use a hybrid ceramic way product that rinses on

Scott I want to thank you because I was buying chemical guys ph neutral soap and wasting money now I'm buying the purple power boat wash and meguiars fast finish

can you use dawn for the same reason? will adding bleach to water do the same thing as using soap? does it have to be a surfactant?

Totally woawh never realized that and think about it that way. Thnx good video

Scott, have you tested the effectiveness of the Purple Power by washing a contaminated car and then using a clay bar to see if all the contaminants were removed?

Right on Scott! I agree with you. Thanks soo much!

Agreed. pH neutral car shampoos are lubricated water. Pretty much meant for the washing pad you use to glide over the surface without leaving any scratches. It's not enough cut. If we know that higher pH cuts more dirt without sacrificing any harm to the surface then why not use it. pH Neutral car shampoos are not formulated to remove fallout and iron deposits that build up. Where an high pH shampoo does. Either way us professional detailers always go around the car one last time with some detail spray. We might as well use some sort of cured protected with a long lasting hydrophobic shine or whatever your preference might be to keep it protected. Spray wax, spray sealant etc. Unless the owner himself puts his own expensive wax and doesn't want it removed then yes. But that's hardly the case. Clients who have monthly services, this would be a huge time saver and would be ideal way to maintain the car's paint. Its our job to to advance in our products for the sake of the customer and for the sake of saving ourselves some more time. Yeah if the customer is going away for 3 months yeah we'll apply a sealant and wax but getting back on schedule we see this is a better alternative for maintenances. The less time we are applying a clay bar the better. I think i'm safe to say that most of the commentators on this video aren't detailing day in and day out.

So would it safe to use super clean/purple powers in a foam cannon on a car that had been ceramic coated?

Hey Scott what are other soaps besides purple power boat wash to use that aren’t oh neutral? Great tip

Very insightful Scott! Gonna check this out. My only concern is sealing the glass with the Ultimate Fast Finish. Have you tested it out on glass? Thanks my friend(: -DJ

Scott will dawn dish detergent do the same deep cleaning? Thanks

God bless you Scott. Let the truth out

Hey Scott!... I use Simple Green for just about everything... It cleans so well, I’ve contemplated testing it for car wash but, I’ve been afraid it might damage the paint. SG has a ph of about 8.5 to 9.5 so I’m thinking a may do a test area to see how it does... Have your every tested SG for car wash? Ya just can’t buy car wash soap that actually cleans anymore!... as you say, they only make the water foamy, thats about it...

Is there European equivalent to the Purple Power? I can't find it on this side of the pond.

Would you use this with a power washer and foam cannon? If so, how. thanks.

Scott, what if you have ceramic coating on the car. Is ph neutral good for that

Scott smart very smart, how many ounces of the purple power to a gallon of water, another awesome video

So, are you saying if I wash my truck, I can just spray that on to seal / protect it instead of waxing it?

Scott your are a master mind! Outstanding!

Scott - So if I wash with PP, clay(have never done this on the car), then use the finish... that would be right?

Scott, is Simple Green effective?
