1st wash in a year?! How to DEEP CLEAN a dirty car 

I adopted the foam rinse foam method and I love the result. The less dirt on the surface the more peace of mind.

Yvan always approaches each vehicle and customized its treatment based upon years of experience. Nicely done!

Nick has done well to say about the foam from the gun not being thick- its not a measure of how well the product performs, foam is only just aesthetic! you just need lubrication between your wash media and the panel. Plus just having fun and enjoying simply cleaning your car! Its very ASMR for me!

I was doing the foam -> rinse -> foam -> contact wash -> rinse AND been using one bucket for some time now. Glad to see you demonstrating it is an ok method. I usually wait 10 minutes AFTER the first foaming.

“if shes proud of it, maybe shel take care of it.” Hasn’t worked on my sister.

Good looking BMW and excellent gloss for a one step polish! I have a daughter who is a senior in high school and her car care keeps me up at night. Hopefully we see this BMW back in six months!

I used one bucket per panel. And after washing, I count each grain of dirt in the buckets and log it in a spreadsheet.

I’ve just ordered a bunch of your products to try, I can’t wait!

Love it. I’m the same as you guys, if the cars hammered, soap wash. If it’s only a light wash it’s rinseless all the way. I’m waiting for your rinseless in the gallon size to become available in Australia, all stockists don’t seem to have it

Cool, that was allot of work but needed. Great info knowing there is more ways to get job done.

Used all clean out of the 16 ounce bottle for rims and wheels. Getting a gallon and will dilute myself. Also, have the rinseless and incredible suds on the way. Iron remover was sold out. My winter wash is rinseless pump sprayed at home, drive to the self serve wash, rinse there and rinseless from the pump sprayer before driving home and rinseless on 2 microfiber towels and a twisted loop drying towel after I dress the tires. And rinseless on the interior using Yvans damp and dry towel method. Thanks for the RU-vid education 😎

Have not gotten to try the whole line yet. Looking forward to trying some of the interior products. Stand outs for me so far, the Rinseless Wash, Ceramic Gloss, Gold Standard with the Waffle pad and the 8 year coating! 1 year in and it’s Still beading like day one❤

Nice Job Guys 👍

Came out great 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

We recently washed my son's CRV. He's had it for a couple of years and never washed it. That's him. The paint needed clay, badly, but the iron deposits were relatively minor. After a quick one step, there were a few scratches and the marring was relatively minor. Silver paint that looked a shade brighter afterwards. Hope to have inspired him. Probably not.

Im excited you bought a gloss meter! I love using science to back up what our eyes perceive!!!

Love the shoes Yvan! The man has great taste :)

I still haven't cracked the code with vehicle polishing. I haven't stepped into that degree of detailing yet, it's kinda intimidating to me haha. But I feel like I want to adopt the DIY Detail method when I start to get into polishing. I definitely would want a cordless polisher though, I hate dragging around electric cables.

I would love to see a video where you did one panel at a time like you was outside with the rinseless wash and iron remover and clay towel.thanks

Nice video.

I have different ways of washing my car depending on how dirty it is! I’ve done the two bucket method! I’ve done the multiple wash mitts! I’ve done one wash bucket with one ☝️ mitt! Do what makes a sense! If you enjoy it who can can it’s the wrong way! Jut have fun 👍

Another great video from DIY. Question Nick, with DIY decontamination towel, can you use DIY Rinseless Wash as a clay lube? Or is Incredible Suds better as clay lube?

Nick, the mullet is breaking through again ! Don't lose the battle !

Great video and reminded me it is time for my annual deep clean as well! For many years, have been performing an annual deep clean to remove and then apply 2 coats of a Turtle Wax Ice Seal N Shine Hybrid Sealant Spray Wax polymer sealant that lasts one year. I use rinseless wash about once a month to keep my garage kept daily driver clean. I am now running low on my half gallon of Purple Power Vehicle & Boat Wash (pH10) which I dilute 1 oz to 3 gallons of water that I have been using for the annual deep clean to remove the old sealant. To replace the Purple Power, would it be advisable to use DIY Rinseless at a higher concentration and with your fine grade clay towel and be as effective in getting down to totally clean paint? Or would DIY All Clean perform better than either for the deep clean in preparation for the 2 coats of polymer sealant? Thanks and love your videos! Doug

“cars can tell their own stories.” you bet they can! in 2018 i sold my black audi and bought a rust-free red S10 from an old timer. in 2022 while doing a pre-sale detail, i disassembled the center console and found two packs of rubbers and a tube of KY! both had expired over a decade ago 😂

I do the same thing with all my trigger nozzles with strong chemicals. I even go the extra mile and put my nozzle in watter and spray the nozzle to rinse out everything inside

Hi, great video, here in the UK I’m trying to find a brush similar to your green one … any recommendations ?

Great video as always gentlemen. Care to link/name the song that comes on about 16:00?

Yvan, I was surprised to see you with a mit in your hand instead of the Legacy spounge--might be a first for me. Did you guys use the ceramic spray in conjunction with the wipe off from the polish, like in another video Yvan did? Lastly, I have two orders waiting to be processed and can't wait to get them. Thanks guys!!!

I like rinseless when the hose goes away(first frost here in CT, so bucket washes will be going away soon I'm sure). Typical bucket wash would include two buckets, foam, rinse, foam..... several wash mitts. I usually go to about the belt line first, then wash the bottoms with different mitts. Blow dry with a leaf blower... ceramic gloss on a gauntlet towel. Bingo, the vehicle is clean. I always clean the wheels and tires first once they've cooled. I L O V E The perforated synthetic decontamination towel!!!! I couldn't imagine NOT washing a vehicle in a year! No way!

Hi I’ve got my ik foamer and I fill it with incredible suds and take it with me to self serve car wash. Would it be safe to use Incredible suds with the car wash’s “pre soak” ? Your products are awesome I got a whole box of them.

Great video guys. I’m in UK and using up my Bilt Hamber BH products on my not too dirty car before I switch to DIY. I’m finding spraying BH Surfex HD and then BH autofoam then letting it dwell before a good contact wash with a bit of ONR in it I’m still getting dirt on my wash mitt. Are your products so much better so most dirt comes off before contact wash?

Great video. Question ❓ I sprayed iron remover and used non abrasive mitt on my car. I wasn't able to fully remove all the contaminates. Do I use iron remover again and clay bar? Or do I polish the car to remove like the 10 or 5 percent of contaminates that was left?

Please do a video on when and when not use a panel prep

Will DIY have a booth at SEMA next year? Thinking about making the trip in 2024

Hi Yvan if my vehicle is not ceramic coated, do i need to polish it after using the synthetic clay towel or can i just apply a paint sealant?

are there any issues with the iron remover being diluted to muchwhen using it over the suds?.

Can one clean wheels with a rinseless, rinse them with water and then air dry them? Good idea? Thanks for the great videos guys.

My car has wax on it will this decontamination towel strip off the wax or is it safe to use, also if it is safe to use how often should you use it like once a month. I usually wash my car every weekend. Thanks guys just recently found your channel and I subscribed

I noticed you didn’t use a panel prep before you applied the ceramic gloss?

How did you guys deal with the water on the concrete below the floor panels? Is there drainage?

Waiting for my All Clean to arrive to try it out.. though, I had to get the 128oz because the smaller bottle wasn't available.... as for my wheel Barrels... Can't really do much with my cars 6 pot brembos.. rears Kinda..

I have the decon towel and i use it for contact wash im lazy and dont wanna wash car twice. And i use wheel acid .

How come you didn't apply waterspot remover since you did all the prepping? Is this recommended for coated cars so that the coating gets revived or only if there are waterspots? My water is pretty filled with minerals and when it rains lately the water is also very dirty. Wouldn't it be a good idea to to use waterspot remover a few times a year to maintain the coating?

Did you not use panel prep after polishing? I couldn't tell if that was panel prep or ceramic gloss you did after the polishing. Also, with these steps how long before you would need to reapply ceramic gloss, wax etc... ( assuming you aren't going to put on a ceramic coating at some point).

Would you have used the brush on the paint if you weren’t planning to polish the car already? Also is it necessary to do a chemical decon wash before or during the physical/towel decon? Or is it fine to use the towel with rinseless as a lubricant without the iron/bug remover

Got a question where to get that clear rinseless wash bucket? I’m assuming the guards are from detail guardz?

Love ur channel! How long does a decontamination towel last ballpark?

i applied 5 yearDIY ceramic coating can i use diy clay towel later to decontaminate truck

Can the decontamination towel be used on PPF clear or matte black PPF?

How long does the tire shine or “tire lotion” last? And is it water based or oil based?

Can you get the same paint popping results from polishing by hand.

Bonjour de Montréal!

What is the PH of All Clean? Is it safe on ceramic coating?

How do you use all clean if your in the sun?

Can you iron with APC before contact wash?

I believe I know the answer but, here it goes. I bought the IK foamer with the battery powered option. Do you recommend using the All Clean on the wheels and wheel wells and using the incredible suds on the rest of the car? I only have one foamer so, I'm trying to determine which one to use the foamer on. I don't have a compressor so, the IK is the only means to foam. Also, I bought a gallon of Rinseless, incredible suds and All Clean. I probably didn't need all 3 right? Oh, I believe the only product that, doesn't foam is the rinseless right?

Let's go!

Will the decontamination towel scratch paint?

Great video guys. To be honest, quite good to see a “real-world” dirty car being attacked. Most videos you and Pan upload about detailing cars, are of reasonably clean cars that an average weekend-warrior would not call dirty 😆Do you have any retail partners in the EU for your products?

Are you okay to use the same wheel and body brush on the tires and then the front surface? Or is it two different wheel and body brushes?

Ready to roll

What bucket is that?

How do you add more clear coat

Is DIY Detail at SEMA this year?

I noticed nick spraying ceramic gloss on his rag instead of on the car toward the end of video. I habe ceramic gloss and this made me ask should I soray ceramic gloss on my car and wipe or on towel and wipe?

Is your ironremover designed to use with your towel? Or is this a method that works with every ”good brand” iron remover?

Hey guys I was dumb and forgot to decontaminate my car paint before I washed it. When it was wet I sprayed with quick beads and rinsed after 30 seconds when drying off the car with the ceramic gloss spray. I noticed these streaks marks that were really are to remove. If i follow the steps in this video using the all clean then the suds then contact wash. Will that get rid of the marks? Or would this require a polish or bluff?

Sir, what would a service like this cost. On average?

Okay Nick this is something to talk about again using the iron remover over the soap …

Just making sure I understand, u didn’t use water spot remover because u used the decontamination towel?

How do you guys deal with chemical runoff?

Yvan what's the best product to get stains out of my leather "Gimp Suit"

Haven´t washed mine in 2 years, except of course inside the car. You basically add a 2nd coat ofprotctant by doing so xD After washing the car again it looks as new and it saves money. I also don´t care how my car looks. It´s a tool to get me from one point to an other nothing more nothing less, it just should work. Oil changes and all that stuff is 1000x more important. Polishing the car all the time will destroy the clear coat way sooner. The car doesn´t even look bad for being not washed in 1 year.

Here is my 10 Step DIY Detail Wash Method: 1) Iron Remover: (Optional as needed) Use in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight as the product has a powerful and unpleasant odor. Spray Iron Remover (IR) directly onto a cool surface (wheel or panel) and allow it to dwell for 4-5 minutes. Lightly agitate, if necessary, any ferrous particles will dissolve, forming a purple solution. Do not allow the product to dry on the surface. Rinse off or layer All Clean Multipurpose Cleaner overtop as part of Pre-Treatment. 2) Pre-Treatment: Spray All Clean (AC) ready to use bottle or dilute 15:1 in pump sprayer to foam lower vehicle body panels, wheels, tires and contaminated areas (avoiding windows). 3) Pre-Wash: Add 30 ml or 1 oz of Incredible Suds (IS) to water in a foam gun/cannon and stir. Spray IS overtop the AC and allow it to dwell. Scrub lower body panels and areas with heavy contamination of dirt, grime, bugs, bird droppings etc. using a mitt or soft bristle brush. 4) Wheels & Tires: Empty contents of foam gun/cannon into a dedicated wheel wash bucket with 3-4 gallons of water and froth. Scrub wheel wells, barrels, wheels and tires using a wheel & tire brush. Rinse the vehicle from top to bottom removing all soap and chemicals. 5) Contact Wash: Refill foam cannon with 30ml or 1 oz of IS and stir. Spray IS starting at the top and working down and around the entire vehicle. Empty contents of foam gun/cannon into a clean wash bucket with 3-4 gallons of water and add another 30-60 ml or l -2 oz of IS to the wash bucket, add water to froth. Soak a plush wash mitt or Legacy Sponge in the bucket and wash one panel at a time using straight lines with minimal pressure. Flip the mitt or sponge after each panel or as needed and dip into the IS wash bucket after using both sides. 6) Decontamination: Use DIY Clay Towel (synthetic decontamination perforated towel) with Iron Remover, Ceramic Gloss or Quick Beads depending on lubricant needs. Shake the bottle to mix well before applying.*Be sure to break-in a new Clay Towel by first using it on a window to remove the factory coating. Soak the Clay Towel in the wash bucket to lubricate. Fold the Clay Towel into four equal sides. Spray once on the Clay Towel, once on the panel then deposit the Clay Towel where sprayed on the panel. starting at the top and working down and around the entire vehicle saving the bottom half for last. Same process no matter which lubricant is used (IR, CG or QB). Using minimal pressure rub the Clay Towel in a smooth motion against the panel until it gently glides across the surface. After using all four sides of the Clay Towel, dip it in the wash bucket to clean and lubricate. Continue the process until all panels are decontaminated. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly from top to bottom. 7) Seal & Protect Option 1- Ceramic Gloss (CG): Shake the bottle to mix well before applying. After the vehicle has been rinsed and is still wet, lightly mist detail spray into the drying towel and onto the intended surface. Wipe with a clean, dry plush microfiber towel, buffing until the product is removed to create a protected streak-free shine. 8) Seal & Protect Option 2-Quick Beads (QB):Shake the bottle to mix well before applying. After the vehicle has been rinsed and is still wet, lightly mist QB detail spray over the entire exterior surface of the vehicle including windows and wheels. Let Quick Beads dwell on the exterior of the vehicle for 30-60 seconds. Rinse off starting at the bottom of the vehicle and working up to the top to activate QB. Continue to spray until the foaming action disappears. Dry off the vehicle with a premium drying towel. Starting with the glass first. If used in direct sunlight only apply to one panel at a time and rinse after 15 seconds. 9) Tire Dressing: Spray directly onto clean, dry tires evenly. Allow the product to penetrate, then wipe away excess. For best results, apply to clean and dry tires. 10) Interior Clean & Protect: This car interior protectant spray is a jack-of-all trades and can clean every single surface inside your car from the dashboard to glass, plastic, vinyl, and more. For the best results, spray the interior car cleaning product onto a clean microfiber cloth or towel to avoid overspray. Wipe the interior surface evenly with a microfiber cloth, repeat until your vehicle’s interior surfaces are clean and dressed. Wipe away any excess product or buff to reduce shine.

Probably the reason the vehicle did not seem like it hadn't been washed in a year is because the daughter was away at college and you mostly walk everywhere you need to go while there. The only time you need to drive is when returning home once a month and for holidays. Also the college I went to had a parking garage so it was not exposed to the elements everyday. Mystery Solved!

Sorry. It is difficult to focus on the video with so many advertisements interruptions. Otherwise good job like always 👍🏻

I'd like to see a DIY Detail video in French.

5:03 I can't believe he's doing that. Is this supposed to be a joke?

There's no way has that car not been washed in over a year. The wheels are way too clean, where's the thick layer of brake dust and traffic film?. How many miles did they drive in that year, just 2? My wheels are coated and they look worse than that after a month. I think someone has told you a fib

7:45 it’s “for all intents and purposes.” Sounds like you said intensive. Just wanted to point it out!
