How to WASH your car - Detailing 101 Ep.2 

Excellent video, I'm not exactly a novice but it's nice to remind myself of the basics! (Big fan of Meguiars by the way, started using your products back in 2006.)

Meguiar's rules !!! Classic detailing !!!

Coming back to deep car cleaning after not caring for mine, got a new one coming soon so this refresher is amazing. Love meguiars

I love that intro of Patrick!

I dry with an electric leaf blower. Nothing touches the paint except air. I've had good results with this for many years.

Feel like the start of this could be a sitcom start

I thought you'd fitted a roof rack at 11:00 😄 Even if you know all this already it's still entertaining, it's good to be reminded of the basics now and again.

Awesome video,viewing it I now know which are good and what works best,a few things I must buy for my car to clean it.the results are cool looking how dirty the BMW was.

Great series 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Good video's these, I've just bought a loads of your products and going to be using them on my new mercedes c250d AMG coupe.

I use Ultimate Wash and Wax great product that plus the Gold Class and Ultimate Wax. Gives my car maximum Protection from the sun here in Nevada.

Great video guys, very informative. I also noticed those amazing burnout lines in the background... 👀

I watch to make sure I'm doing the processes correctly all information is good information

Marketing team must be thinking wow, we'd be dead in the water without Patrick :-)

Do you need before you use the wash+ before the foam soap, or does it not weather?!? Greatings Jordi( From The Netherlands😉) Super Serie this is, keep on the good work!!!💪

Second comment from Philippines 😊😊

What jet washer do you guys use ? And do you just connect it to a hose ?

What’s best for shine and color richness, ultimate wet and wax or gold class?

Great Vid. I like it. ON a Really dirty car like that i would Grade my TFR, Stronger for the wheels & sills ( below the lower door strip) To a milder dilution for the mid section & boot Vertical Panels etc. To a Light waft over a wet car for the glass bonnet & roof. allow it time to soak . Then LOW Pressure Rinse the thick off. Any remaining residue Another waft of mild mix TFR allow to soak then Rinse again Until The majority of the real dirt is gone. The car needs to look almost clean before contact with ANY Towel, MIT, or Sponge. Begin with a mild mix & increase to stronger if required for certain areas or the whole car. Before Wiping / Sponging with any direct contact to the paint. Allow the car to dry naturally / Blow dry with an air blower / RUN a WET VAC crevice tool covered with a Micro fiber towel 'off cut ' over the nozzle to avoid scratches, over all those annoying water traps & Trim strips, door mirrors , Badges & emblems, & anywhere else water collects & lingers on YOUR car. to pull out excess water to prevent runs later. Keep the car OUT OF THE SUN, The metal will be far too hot to polish . The products will either dry or bake on before they have time to work. & before you can clean them off. Expect to spend an HOUR per panel on an average car. Professionals & video's make it look like you / they can restore an almost scrap car before the 10am coffee break ! any less than an hour per panel & it must be an Almost new car ! or you have rushed it & made it look like crap ! Think on 10 - 12 hours on a mildly neglected car. To , Wash, Remove tar & bugs, Clean wheels, Compound, Polish, Wax the whole car, Treat bumpers tyres & rubbers etc. ALLOW the whole weekend if you use good products on a reasonable car. No fone calls,No Fag breaks, & drink your coffee as you wait for the polish to dry. THE BIG SECRET PRODUCT PRO's USE is TIME & PATIENCE. Close the Garage door, Tell everyone you are away for the weekend, put the Radio on , & maybe heating in winter, Kettle & coffee on the work bench & Plod away Undisturbed. End Result BLING BLING a Sparkling Mint Car !!! Do the same next weekend with the interior. . Compound & Polish can be used / applied by hand, machine vs hand ?? i do both to pretty much the same effect, in around the same time . IF you have ONE Car you do not need to buy a machine polisher. IF you polish cars all day & the machine is in use most of the day then buy one. Your hand pressure & eye to see the paint is best, & feel it with your fingers for slip & smoothness. BE GENTLE. if it's not right, go over it again until you are happy with every bit. If still not right try a stronger / more harsh cleaning product. You Would NOT use a JCB digger to remove weeds from a plant pot ! And you could not plough a field with a garden fork ! It's better to use too little product, & need to do it again, than to use too much & damage the surface. or waste product. Happy Cleaning.

Gunna do a full scale decom/polish etc on my black Audi with your products, next spring. However, looking for a shampoo for over winter until I do a deeper detailing. Which one would you recommend to prepare the car but also protect it, keep it looking as good as possible until I get round to giving it some Meguiar's TLC ? It has some swirls on the black paint, looks dull, no longer the back panther her used to be ;)

love the music selection.Need more of it . Willing to share ?

on a bike its not great to use a jet wash any sugestions for rinse? just a clean mit?

what about when you clean the wash mits and drying towel? throw them in the washing machine?

Quick question - meguiars APC, is the one available in the spray bottle (at Halfords) same as green liquid in the big bottle (detailer line)

Be a note to beginners as well because of the extreme dirt ot would be wise to do more tgam 1 to two passes however an upkeep on a car that a touchless wash doesnt work one to two passes is ideal

Is it okay to dry with a gas blower? Because I've heard about gas fumes getting all over the paint

Hello can i inquire if its ok to use nxt car wash shampoo instead of using your shampoo your using here?

Isn't dish soap fine for a foam cannon pre-rinse, if you're doing a full detail with correction, polish, and wax?

Heavy Duty purpose Cleaner can't found it at my country, is that okay if I change it with All Purpose Cleaner to ruin all the dirt and grimes......? 0r I use degreser....?

Does the heavy duty cleaner strip off wax?

For Black cars, do you think is better use a lambswool or a microfiber washmitt? Now the meguairs has a chenelle washmitt too. I dont know wich i choose.

any advice on anti-static,,im sick of bits of fibre's sticking to my car after its been washed and dried,do you make a product that can help....

What’s equivalent to the Heavy Duty Cleaner in the U.S.A ?

Do you have to use a jet wash for the heavy duty spray, or can you use a garden hose pipe

Fairy liquid doesn’t strip wax it leaves a film on the paint that makes it look like it’s been stripped

Is it over the top to put a grit guard in each bucket if your doing a double bucket one fresh water one shampoo?

Is this music from Fantasia in the Magrib, Morocco in the most extreme west?????

I want to be as good as you Dale I'm just learning

Is it a bad idea to use the ultimate wash and wax, and then follow up with the hybrid ceramic wax? I guess this gives me two wax products on top of each other?

Just ordered some buckets and a grit guard, along with a drying towel and ultimate wash and wax off the website👍🏻 Gonna be using your methods to get the car looking sweet again 👌🏻

Does the multi purpose cleaner strip wax? I have just cut polished and waxed my car with all your products and wondering if I get and use this regularly if it will strip the wax off too? Thanks

Is washing up liquid good to use if you plan on removing any and all wax on the car though??

Hey boys, does the Grit guard fit it any bucket or does it have to be a Meguiar’s one?

Anyone notice the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor in the background?

What power washer did you use? And what one would you recommend?

EXPENSIVE

What kind of wax do you recommend using after using this Wash Plus+?

Does the heavy duty cleaner strip any wax you’ve previously applied to the car?

So I should NOT be using a wire brush to take the dirt off?

First good video

Are they all safe to use on Ceramic Coating?

Can we win one of those nice meguiars jackets 😊

Any reason why you didn't do a snow foam?

When is the Hybric Ceramic Wax available in the UK?

I haven’t washed my car in 3 years so...i got ya beat.

Can I use this soap on Ceramic Coating? Or this is just use to remove wax and sealant?

Do you have a snow foam product?

What is that van in the background?

I've never used fairy liquid on my car but it's interesting you said why, because it strips any wax off it. Recently I brought my first DA polisher and I'm going to see if I can bring my paint up, it needs to be a completely wax free surface for this so in this instance would it be okay to use the fairy liquid bearing in mind I'm going to be cutting and polishing and then waxing it when I'm finished?

Hi. I own a 'white' 2014 mk7 gti. What products would you recommend for removing swirls, Polish, wax etc. Basically a step by step guide on what I would need and would a DA polisher be worth the investment. Most videos I've seen are not of white cars, lol. TIA

Now why did I think the guy on the left was Mika Hakinen?

Do you guys ship to the United States?!

Can we buy one of those sweet jackets?

Is he the guy from motech?

why not pre rinse the car and not use another expensive product?

Skip to 7:05 dkip all the talking and specifications of the materials

Lieguars

Like for the e36 😍

10:10 OH! So THAT’S Fairy Liquid! A dish-soap, like Dawn or Ajax! (American here, I thought that fairy liquid had something to do with fairy lights.......don’t I feel stupid right now!)

Any jobs going... Lol... I could do this all day long

You know something about car care , you just don't know how to execute the job just yet ,

Stupid word derailing, it’s car cleaning

Fairy does not strip wax!

What a load of bollocks, just a money spinner, bet he went to university get a first in car washing,
