My family and I enjoyed a week's stay in a picturesque mountain village soaking up all nature has to offer, but soon after our arrival, a lightening strike set the closest mountain ablaze. Fortunately, our resort was a safe enough distance away from the flames that we did not receive evacuation orders. Despite the obvious concerns, we were able to carry on with our vacation and enjoy ourselves. We kept a close eye on the mountain as well as monitoring the updates from the BC Wildfire Service. When all was said and done, the fire fighters did an amazing job of containing the Horsethief Creek wildfire, but my SQ5 did not escape before being blanketed with a layer of ash, soot and other fallout from the copious amounts of smoke produced by the fire.
In this video, I discover some mineral deposit marks that embedded themselves into the ceramic coating on my car, but I was able to rectify the situation using a highly effective "Water Spot Remover" product from my friends at DIY Detail. This video features some narration because it was a departure from my normal wash process that I feature often here on my channel.
Please sit back and enjoy the process as I do my best to undo the damage done. If you are interested in purchasing any of the products or tools you see in my videos, please peruse the list below. All of these companies have been loyal supporters of me and my work, so it makes me happy to be able to return the favour.

Wildfire ash is the worst. With the Adams lake wildfire that is still going the Okanagan Valley is full of smoke and ash again so our cars are getting washed at least once a week. Total coincidence but the Michelin pilot sport a/s are the tires I run on my corvette very happy with them and I washed my wife’s car today with Q2m foam and tac system mystic bubble for the hand wash, you have great taste lol. Another very enjoyable video you never let us down. Thanks. 👌🏻🇨🇦

HI Rick ! Good to see you enjoyed your trip. These big fires I saw on TV were quite scary and pretty uncontrollable ! We hava had some here in Europe too especially in Greece. South of France is also under orange and red alert due to heavy fire risk. Talking about France, glad to see you have some French rubber on youtr wheels 😜. Michelin is a bit more expensive but really worth the cost. I have some on my A5 and I can testify the have a very good grip. Mine are protected with Gyeon Tyre which is SIO2 infused... That product is jaw-drapping due to its protection and hydrophobicity. Little trick : slightly heat the tire before applying with a hex grip foam applicator. This will open the pores and guarantee a maximum bond with the rubber. Nice satin OEM finish !!! Flawless final result as always ! Take care mate and stay RAD 🤘🤘🤘 Gregg

I haven´t come around to watch this until now. One thing that I recognize from my own washes is the fact that you learn your car. You find the spots where you need to put in some more effort. And as always, the rear view mirrors that always contain more water than you thought possible. And you take the car for a ride and the drops that makes you crazy. I always keep a psycho-towel in my car. I love that you take us along your thought process when coming across new challenges. Have you tried CarPro Descale? I have not yet but I am curious if it takes care of more of the contaminates.

I might be wrong or doing something wrong, but I find that the wet coat products, in this case CarPro Hydro2 for instance doesn't last long on the wheels, either due to brake dust being too rough or the heat from the brakes make these products evaporate/brake down faster?
@RADGarage
@RADGarage 11 месяцев назад
I don't disagree with that. I look at these type of wet coat products as a quick and effective way of ensuring the washing process goes well. They don't offer the same level of protection as a liquid applied ceramic coating. But, they do seem to prevent brake dust from strongly adhering to the finish of the wheels.

Currently, the SQ5 is coated with Dr. Beasley's Nano Resin Pro coating. There are some slight etchings in the coating so I'm a little sad about that. Not sure what my next steps are. My hope is that they just disappear after a few more decon washes. I'll link the video to the install below: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oWfOY4YIyKE.html

Rick, how are you liking the OC shoes? I’ve been contemplating a pair, wondering if they’re worth the hype.

They are awesome. I have some foot discomfort and these shoes are the only ones that don’t exasperate it. I highly recommend. I am looking at some Hoka’s too.

@@RADGarage my wife wears Hokas for work, she is on her feet all day and loves them, never complains about her feet hurting. She wore them during her entire pregnancy and working and they really saved her. I’m more looks over function personally, but the OC have my attention.

Rad, do your family members ever close their doors leaving finger prints on the paintwork or b-pillars? It drives me insane 🤣

@@RADGarage hahaha that is a great idea. Giving it a good polish and then PPF’ing the b-pillars. 🤔 I’ve just purchased a 2023 Kia carnival platinum model in nardo grey - car looks phenomenal against all the gloss black accents and dark tints, and I’ve had it polished and coated with artdeshine nano graphene coating - it’s incredible. 10 year warranty on the coating too they’ve guaranteed me. I am meticulous like yourself so it will certainly last with frequent maintenance washes. However, Polishing and clear filming the b-pillars is definitely something I’ll consider down the track if they get beat up from all my kids. 2 so far with another 3 in the plan🤣🤣🤣

Congratulations of the Carnival. It is amazing seeing how far Kia has come in their design and quality. Enjoy it in good health and good luck with the fingerprints!

Question! Why do you rinse bottom to top?
@RADGarage
@RADGarage 11 месяцев назад
Rinsing top down just ensures all the shampoo gets rinsed away on the lower portions before you get there with the pressure washer.

@jayd6068 11 месяцев назад
@@RADGarage thank you! The industry always taught wash from top to bottom but I’ve seen more and more people rinsing bottom to top so I was just curious what the reasoning was and if I should be implementing.
@RADGarage
@RADGarage 11 месяцев назад
I agree with hand washing top-down, but it makes no sense to let the shampoo on the lower portions go to waste.

Do you ever do any under body cleaning?
@RADGarage
@RADGarage 11 месяцев назад
This car has felt panels on the undercarriage so I don't really see the point in spending time cleaning it. I give it a good rinse once or twice a year, but I let the felt protection do its thing and don't worry about it much.

Are the felt panels like the carpet wheel linings because they hold an awful of crap.
