I actually just recently detailed the interior of my bosses, tractor; idk about you but I had a hard time moving around in that thing to get every nook and cranny! Love your videos!
Thank you yeah it was really really difficult to get the whole cab esp down by the gas pedal and that while lower right side, total back strainer getting in there lol
ugh Bob you are killing me with these vids, everyone in my neighborhood thinks im crazy when i wash and detail my lawn mower with your products, now you're washing tractors
i wash and detail tractors at a john deere dealership, the interiors can be a pain but the drivers seat pivots. the thing i hate the most is the amount of glass to be cleaned
Love the vids dude, products look amazing! Unfortunatly as i’m in Scotland, UK they are a bit far away from me but the videos are great and it’s amazing to see products focussed at industry vehicles instead of cars all the time. Keep up the great work!!
Awesome job! We own a couple of JD tractors. Only thing I would have done different is completely taken out the floor mat in the cab and vacuumed underneath. It is pretty easy to take out and a ton of dirt and grime gets caught under it.
Finally a tractor getting detailed. I’ve been waiting to see one of these videos. Do the products work a lot better with soft water?? We only have well water out the farm and was wondering how well water works with the products.
Works much much much better with soft water especially with water spots. The soft water helps with the soaps and stuff he uses. Much better for stripping road grime etc.
I love your videos and your love of clean vehicles...im always trying to talk you tube truckers to come by your shop to get the best detail ever ...keep up the good work ...what town in Mass are you in anyhow ???
Awesome! Have you tought about the pre rinse being one color and the neutralizer another? It would be pretty visual to know where you still need to apply. I don't have a truck and wash my cars by hand, but found your channel and I am really liking your videos.
Love itttttt man!!!! That is one kleen Deere👌 I'm literally surrounded by farm fields... There's not a day that goes by when there's not a tractor or some kinda farm equipment that doesn't drives buy the house.. every one of them are soooo dirty.. ( especially during harvest 😳😬) one of these days I'm gonna stop one of them and have a little talk😁😎
You think that’s dirty!! I’ll bring you my 2 trucks, my tractor and my trailer. If you like dirty. I’ll give you good content. Love your videos. Never miss a single one. Hopefully you’ll get to do my stuff someday
I'd get a small ladder when doing the initial rinse, go from top of cab to bottom and do the rinse in sections. The dirt at the end basically blew back into what ya had just rinsed when ya did the 2nd coat so as your rinsing, get all that dirt and other stuff wayyyyy away from what your planning to rinse to avoid cross contamination and have a better outcome on the detail. Cheers!
One piece of advice. Be very careful pressure washing anything with a zerk fitting for grease. Getting a bunch of water in whatever is meant to be lubricated is generally no bueno. Just make sure the customer shoots some grease into all of the points after a wash to make sure that all the water gets pushed out and everything that's meant to be slippery stays slippery.
Hey Chem-X, do you have any tips on washing around grease areas on a machine? And anybody in the comments if it would affect the machine if I washed any grease away?
Just curious on when you guys are restocking with the touch less kit? Is there anything I can subscribe too to get notification and update on products? I like your products, Everything looks like top quality. I will definitely be a returning customer. Is there any way to pre order the touch less foam kit?
Can you show us what the difference hoses are for in your shop? I know you made a video about the pressure washers but like the stuff hanging and all that
I work at a tractor/excavator shop washing them. i was wondering how i could improve with my work almost the same i picked up a few more thing's from this vid thanks.
My friend is starting a business of industrial machines like that, I would like to give him a help aometimes, what personal tools could I need to start without him feeding me materials. What types of brush, how many ? Cloth, what type ? Tordanor seems a must do you any more recommendations ?
As a mobile detailer I wanna find a way of doing maintenance details touch free, Bilt Hamber Touchless gets 98% of dirt off but can’t remove traffic film, no matter the car/coating it will need a hand wash to be truly clean. I’m wondering if stars & stripes is okay for every 2 weeks/month on waxed cars or if it’s too aggressive for anything that isn’t a semi or tractor? I only have a kranzle 1622 in my van, is ~1200 PSI strong enough to really get it perfectly clean? It would be such a game changer for my business
The two steps is for getting the traffic film shocked loose it’ll come off good, they will wear out standard waxes over time, ceramics or sio2 sealant holds up perfect tho, fine on clear coat as well. The psi you have would work it would just take a bit more time to do a good job
Open all the widows and use a leaf blower first on the tractor. Then hit it with a two inch pump sprayer. Saved you slot of time. Gotta have a two inch water cannon on the farm. It’s really a waste of time to do any more than that on a tractor. Pressure wasters are bad to blow water into things that don’t need to be wet,like bearings,and electrical parts. We we just leaf blow the trash off,to prevent fires. Things that get too greasy we wash off with diesel.
I’m so glad I do mostly cars and trucks and not many tractors and semis lol. Those interiors are almost as bad as the stereotypical soccer mom vans hahaha. Good video w/ a tad bit of the comedy as usual lol
This touchless washing stuff is pretty neat! But, hypothetical question: What would happen if someone used only Stars OR Stripes, and then washed it off, never using both as intended?
Not as good by a long shot, the pH shock of the acid and then base neutralize on top of each other and get rid of the road film. You then you rinse it off about 6in to 12in from the surface and no farther.
@@dougkratz5269 Of course, but my primary curiosity here is also if there is potential for damage to paint/surfaces/clear coat from improper procedure? Let's say someone is washing something, and they only get Stars applied before some kind of emergency pulls them away from finishing the job? What's the worst case scenario improper use could cause?
So there’s no danger when using just one or the other to any of the surfaces, stars alone would clean aluminum and brake dust and bugs, stripes would remove greases and soot, but they are def best used one over the other to shock the ph level neutral and shut off the static that holds on the road film and grime so you can power wash it off without physical contact
If you wash regularly (once every week or every other week) with Stars + Stripes, how often would you say to use Snake Oil? Every time? When the water doesn't bead anymore?
I haven’t seen snake oil fail yet actually, it’s designed to last about 3 months, Stars and Stripes has not been removing it with weekly washes, it’s working even better then I planned
So I do have a scissor lift that I bust out to fix up the roofs on several of the washes I’ve done, but I haven’t filmed that yet. I film alone actually so the logistics of it are kind of a pain, but I’ll probably work that in to future videos it might be fun to show that
I think our opinions on filthy are different cause that was pretty dam clean to start with, I work at a landfill If you want a real filthy machine to clean.
Is there a market for detailing trackers. It doesn't seem like man farmers will spend several hundreds of dollars to deep clean something that will get dirty again the next day.
