Hey Guys! -- Josh here. This channel is all about, you guessed it; car detailing. Since I was about 17 years old, I have been detailing cars and many things alike. During this time, I found a passion from taking something that was dull, neglected and just plain dirty to something that was pleasant and just dang shiny!
Your car is in most cases your second biggest investment so why not take care of it to make sure it holds more value? More importantly, detailing your car should be about enjoying the entire experience of your car. Driving, cleaning and maintaining it. This channel will be all about that!
I plan on bringing you product reviews, techniques, and a systematic approach to detailing so that you can enjoy taking care of your car without breaking the bank and saving you TIME! I look forward to taking you on the journey with me. Look for my new videos every week!
Semper Fi bother. Doing this now. Good thing about plastidip is you can usually fix goofs compared to regular rattle can paint. Not really anything to be scared of
Sorry I could not finish watching this video. This is too long for this topic. You need to get to the point right away. You’re losing your audience dude!
Strange. The other side of the coin is, never wash it. Unless you get bird poo or something acidic on it which will eat through your clear coat. I have considered this years living in a snow salt state, I've been undercoating. Meticulous with brushless car washes, hand washing. Still lost cars to rust, lost clear coats. Washing under the car heavily removes the undercoat (just applied undercoat to my truck today). Washing the top removes the dirt particles etc. But now your top clear coat is exposed to u.v. sun. Unless you plan on waxing it by hand every couple weeks with a good wax the u.v. sun will hurt the clear coat overtime. Almost seems a quick easy rinse under neath and on top to remove salt is the way to go. But not actually washing it. That removes undercoating. It doesn't matter if the cars dirty or not along as it's not actually against the metal. There are people that never even wash their cars that seemed to have better luck than me (who is pretty meticulous). Maybe just not washing it at all. Reapplying oil undercoat twice a year is the way to go. Yeah, it'll be dirty. But the necessary elements needed for rust won't be available to the under carriage. It'll be oil and dirt. Basically. Top of the car, the pollen, dirt, whatever might actually protect the clear coat from the suns rays. The clear coat on most cars is something like .004 thick? Dont remember. But everytime you scrub that thing its good to remember you are messing with, might even be removing a fractional amount of that clear coat. Sure, you can wax it, make it shiny. But that fraction of clear coat is forever gone. Eventually you'll have so little clear coat you'll have to wax and polish it. As there won't be any shine or any protection for the base coat. Lot to think about. Quick low pressure rinse and a spray sealer once or twice a year might be the way to go. Actually washing it. Might be the worst thing you can do. My girlfriends car is actually in better shape than mine (and she never washes it, maybe car wash once a year or two years). Myself. Meticulous. Have lost 2 cars to rust. Which i can only explain by washing removed the undercoatings. And washing hurt the clear coats. Considering this now as to where i have gone wrong. Another channel (guys a auto technician does undercoat/rust too) i was watching other day he basically says never wash your car. Just keep applying oil undercoat. It'll look dirty, but underneath it'll be fine. This is for snow/salt states. Basically these are the elements that are necessary to cause corrosion, rust, hurt the clear coat. Deprive science of those elements. Dont wash it. Just oil it. Bird droppings. Accidic maybe spot remove? But even then if the car is dirty enough. Like only gets slightly rinsed when it rains. The droppings still arent on the clear coat. Its on the dirt and scum on top of the clear coat. Not on the clear coat itself. The grime on it protects it from the sun too. Food for thinking.. Other thing.. If its that cold, the car can't rust anyway. Even salt has a minimum effective temperature. The stuff they put on the roads does. Granted pretty low but a minmum effective temperature. If it's ten degrees, probably too cold to rust. The warm says, humid near feeezing or above freezing days is when i (think?) rust could activate. Thats why people that use heated garages (i have one i dont use), this isn't necessarily good. You've covered the car in road salt driving. Then put it in high enough temperature it'll activate rust. Better to use the garage only when its warmer and more humid outside. If it's cold outside. Car probably better off outside. Rust requires air, oxygen to happen. Added is corrosive (road salt) which requires certain temperatures as well to activate. The suns rays beat down on the clear coat. Sealing from all of the above, with dirt, grime, oil, lanolin coatings. Seems scientifically logical. Deprive it of oxygen. Consider the dirt on the top the clear coats sunshade. Came here through inquiry "how often should you wash your car". Answer might be. Never. I've moved from spraying fluid film underneath to use crc marine ( salt water boat protecting it's anti salt). Haven't figured out what to put on the clear coat. Tempted to coat the entire truck (it's brand new) in a crc marine oil,wax. Washing regularly, been there done that. Didn't work. Thoughts?
What color are the rims in the last picture of the video? It looks different than what you showed spraying earlier on. I like it better than the darker black. Also, can you use tire dressing with out hurting the plastic dip?
I live in the portland oregon area, do you do washes/waxing? I had my car detailed recently and looking to have it washed, don't have time to do it myself with my work schedule.. appreciate it
Still using it? How’d it hold up? I’m a weekend warrior looking for a pressure washer for siding, garage mildew, patio, car etc. Recommend this one or any others? Thanks for the video!
I've got this pressure washer and love it. one thing I've noticed is when pulling the trigger there is a pretty significant delay / air only, then it sprays water. Is this normal? I wonder if there is a way to cut down on the delay
Hey there! Great question. It’s normal operation of the pressure. Mine does that too. I believe it’s a way so the pressure washer can have more of an “instant on” effect.
I’ve ran into this problem before. To help decrease the chance of the plasti dip running make sure to do light coats and keep the can moving when you spray to help reduce the chance of too much product building up on a particular spot.
Hey thanks for watching! There are actually a multitude of cleaners you can use on plasti-dip that won’t dull the finish. I recommend any cleaner that is closer to the pH “neutral” category. Diluted Adam’s wheel and tire cleaner is one of my favorites for plasti dip. I’ll go over some good options in a future video! Also, any regular soft bristled brush is good to use on plasti dipped surfaces 👍
I’ve seen the mjjc foam cannon in action. I still think the PF22 is one of the best and not that much different. I’ve seen it produce some crazy foam though. Might be cool to compared the two!
@@jgsautodetailing1568 I have them both. PF22 is old design and has a solid feeling. MJJC has much more foam but also use a lot of chemicals due to it unique value and sandwich filter design on cap. you get to try to believe it
It really depends if you regularly clean your plasti dipped wheels or just let them go. I’ve had plasti dip look great for several years before starting to look dull.
Great transformation. The paint really helped to brighten up the space and make it look more appealing to work in. I purchased the same NewAge cabinet set in black with a stainless top. I wanted to put the rolling cabinets in the middle like you did, but then there was nothing to support the center of the worktops so I had to put them on the side. Kinda wish they would supply a strong bracket to allow them to be in the center. I also found the whole set to be kinda flimsy until you level and bolt them to the wall. Not a bad cabinet set for the price- well, before all the inflation happened. How are they holding up for you so far?
Thanks for watching! Yes I totally agree. I don’t think the worktop aspect of the NewAge cabinets was thought out very well. I can move the rollers out and where they meet in the. Idle does seem pretty flimsy. I would put anything in the middle that’s for sure. That are overall holding up great! Love the look and really brings in the whole garage. Did you get the all black cabinets?
@@jgsautodetailing1568 Yeah, I have the all black cabinets. Looks nice with a gray paint on the wall, but next time I’ll probably just spend the money for more stout cabinets.
