#Howtomaintainyourceramiccoatedvehicle #XtremeSolutions #Topper
I often times am asked the question by my customers- How do I maintain my ceramic coated or protected vehicle in the winter time? Is it safe for me to take it through the car wash? So I thought I would put together a small demonstration of how I would use the car wash during the winter to maintain your vehicle and how to properly maintain your ceramic coating. Most detailers would tell you to avoid the automatic car wash at all cost but when it's freezing conditions or you don't have access to water- what are your options? For those who rely on the automatic car wash, here are some tips on how to safely use it without damaging your ceramic coating for your vehicle.
If you'd rather avoid the car wash, remember Attention 2 Details can safely and effectively get your vehicle restored and protected for you!
**Always remember- use the non touch! Never use the soft touch!**

Great video Chelsea. I am always telling people/friends not to use a car wash where anything touches the surface of your car. But what you added to that equation was a lot of information I didn't know about car washes. Like the high alkaline issues with the soaps etc. And, your explanation on the benefits and "how to" use a drying aid were excellent. Very educational and it just another great video. Keep up the great work Chelsea. PS So glad we left central Pennsylvania 36 years ago. Life is so much better in the sunshine...IMO ;)

Thanks for this vid.👍 Aways a dilemma with touchless in the winter and residue left on the vehicle and safely removing it. I'll have to give this a try next time.

@okchawk2k 3 года назад

Thanks for this. I love Topper. Use it on top of TW S&S. Super easy to apply with great gloss, amazing slickness and smells great too. I also use their Xtreme suds and LVR-403 polishing glaze. I like the therapeutic nature of detailing my cars so I intentionally don't ceramic coat. Xtreme Solutions has a great lineup. Was happy to see you use Topper too. Adds some validity to this novice's thoughts. :)

That's amazing that you have touchless wash. The guy that was watching you possibly have seen you on the videos and was still amazed and wondering why you were there at a car wash when he knows you are a detailer and then recording the odyssey. 😉😃 excellent video and funny that you paid for someone else's wash. Look at it as you paying it forward, a great learning experience for next time and simply looking back as to just count your blessings😉😊 You learned for yourself and you taught all of us. Amazing!!!👏👌👍

Excellent video. I was looking for suggestions for my niece to keep her Lexus looking good after it snows. I provided her with a 1 gallon container of Wolfgang Uber Rinseless wash diluted to be used as a detail spray after washing. The car currently has Ethos Ceramic Wax and Ethos Defy. Touchless wash and dry with undercarriage is a really good idea.

@jayz313 3 года назад

Very helpful video. I love Topper, probably one the best detailing products I've had the pleasure to use. Great gloss, shine, reasonable longevity for the type of product it is, blows that orange stuff out of the water. I just ordered 3 two packs of the Amphibian towels, I like the 16 x 16 size, very easy to handle and they don't drag on the ground. How many touchless car washes do reccomend taking a ceramic coated vehicle through per season.

@attention2detailswchelsea 3 года назад

I try to limit it to 1-2 but each person may be unique. Its hard to say based on condition and protection.

@jorgenvonstrangle000 3 года назад

I take my car to a touchless in case I’m far from home or if it just got rained on. Because my car is ceramic coated with Adams Graphene Ceramic Coating as well. Honestly 60% of dirt comes off depending on how much is left. I just use a detail spray and some towels to clean the car and dry if needed. Since I live in the south texas with no snow it just works for me

@chevron32 3 года назад

Actually the basic wash is the least aggressive. Presoak, wash and air dry. That’s what I always use and it’s fine and I would do a final wipe with waterless wash to completely remove the rest of the dirt.

Chelsea thanks for sharing. Between continued snow in western PA or lack of time I’ve been close to running my car through the touchless wash. Great tips to keep my sealant intact for as long as I can. I’ve been using the Hybrid Solutions products on our vehicles for several months. I usually use their wet wax as my drying agent after washing at home. Do you think that would be suitable to apply after going through the car wash? Thanks again for the great content!

@attention2detailswchelsea 3 года назад

Yes I believe it would be great as a drying aid

@fuzooli 3 года назад

Is there a way we could find out the ph levels used on the chemicals in car wash? I know most of the gas stations do soapy wash and then tri colour treatment and then clear coat or wax being applied. Won’t these damage the clear coat instantly ? Love your content! Keep up the great work

@JackRR15 3 года назад

I'm scared to directly touch the paint with a towel without going through a proper contact wash first. Usually I rinse like that then do a rinseless wash at home. But I might go to a car wash like this instead, atm was going to the DIY ones, bring my wheel brush and product but gotta say it's a PITA.

@ilikechickensausages2075 3 года назад

Cheap price for what you get. I wish we had the touch less system in Australia.

@gregsullivan7408 3 года назад

The only touchless washes available to me are the LaserWash - the problems I have are: a) often no ability to select a wash that does not apply any waxes, b) spotless rinse is low pressure - needs to be high pressure, IMHO, c) runs of detergent fluid will seep out of gaps, and if not removed before they dry, they can leave a very difficult to remove residue, sometimes requiring an abrasive to remove, d) if there is a dryer at all, it's not good enough. They really need to improve the rinsing and drying part of the process IMHO.

What do you do when your drying towels stop absorbing from using drying aids like ceramic detailers bead maker , owners pride ceramic detailer etc ?

Try soaking it in white vinegar for a bit then wash it with your normal microfiber wash detergent. No perfumes, no dyes detergent (like all free & clear), warm water, no/low heat to dry or air dry.

@razetw 3 года назад

@@alfredol-montalvo6255 agreed. Might have to do it a few times before they come back to life. Best thing to do ideally is if you use ceramic shampoo detailers etc at home have a bucket with diluted apc so as you work on the car you dump used towels in the apc solution so the ceramic doesn't dry/cure to avoid the problem altogether. Then wash towels mitts as usual...

People can't stop touching their cars after I put Topper on it. It's so smooth. Like silk. And it smells great too. The whole garage will smell great if the car is garage kept.

Nothing beats a great carnauba wax for depth of gloss. Ceramic is shiny...carnauba is rich, deep. I have a classic Jaguar and I would never use a ceramic of any type on it. If you get a paste wax don't get a "cleaner wax" or "wax with cleaner"...I do use a ceramic spray on our newer car. In fact after watching Chelsea's great videos on the Turtle Wax products I am going to stop using The Last Coat and go with that knew TW Graphene...even though I can't believe graphene is that much different or better than a ceramic spray. Correct me if I'm wrong Chelsea!

@@robertct06 just dont wipe the car with a cloth until it's covered in a lubricant. Touchless wash soap has microabrasives in it that help blast the grime off, and it doesn't damage anything normally, but if you take a towel and wipe a panel with that water on it, you'll drag those abrasives across the paint and give it microscratches
