Restoration Blog: Detailing | Jay Leno's Garage 

"If you use our products, that's great, but these tips work on any product you use." I cannot express just how much I respect and appreciate this candor and honesty. Not a plug or sales pitch, just one car guy spreading some advice to other car guys (and gals), on order to help them. This is what the community is all about, and Jay has never forgotten his roots. As big of a star as he is, he will always be a down-to-Earth car guy, and that deserves the utmost respects.

Thank you for everything you do for the car communities Jay. You are a living legend. Cheers!

I have always loved Mr. Leno.

I love Jay. Man, Id rather take a full day tour of his garage than go to Hawaii or a cruise for a week. JAY is just an awesome guy. . Humble , yet so knowledgeable.

I do dialysis 3 times a week and it’s very hard work, watching these vids cheers me up straight away

Wow Jimmy’s truck looks like it had a new paint job. Good job and nice truck

The metal polish was the perfect thing to show off, everything on the market is as Jay says : "too harsh" And how humble he is not shilling his own product just showing how to use it and what might damage your pride and joy. Legend.

I LOVE CARS. Love learning car history. Love learning to work on cars. Love learning to detail cars.

More restoration blogs!!!!! Love these! More steam also in the restoration blogs!

Nice that leno made these products and affordable. This guy is a true car guy.So lucky to have Leno around.

14:45 Massively fabulous Kawasaki H2 750cc Two-Stroke 3-Cylinder over Jay's shoulder! What a beast! Full Noise in 1st gear is an experience never to be forgotten! Certainly, modern bikes are faster and smoother and quieter and use less fuel, but this is a MOTORCYLIST MOMENT! The sound, the noise, the vibration, the feeling of the engine trying to twist the frame into a spaghetti knot, the excitement of riding something that felt DANGEROUS!

I have to admit, I didn't buy these products before because I thought some company just paid Jay and they put his name on their product. Now knowing the work this team put into making their own product and ensuring they actually work? I'm sold! I now am confident my almost 60 year old beauty will like Jay's stuff. Thanks to you all for your work, keep it up!

Thank you Mr. Leno and assistants, this was a very informative and entertaining video. Jay you should continue to include employees and associates who are willing to appear in your videos.

Jay has shown us a lot of cars over the years ( a lot!), but of all the cars he's shown us, both his own and other people's, the '66 7 litre is the one. Man, that car just does it for me. Wow.

I switched over to JLG care-care products 100% several years ago and can say every product I have tried has the been the best ever.

Jay, good tips, good infomercial. ;)

Have admired you for years. Drive on Mr Leno

I, for one, after viewing countless JLG episodes and thoroughly enjoying all of them, think that he can promote his polishes and leather restoration products with out any complaints from any of us. Sure, this was a 20 min infomercial but who cares! It's Jay and his guys showing us how to do it properly. Good on ya Jay!

Rain is my detailing. Jay your show is great. Thx .

Jay Leno is such a great guy and so genuine.

I’m using your metal polish on the bright metal parts of vintage Singer sewing machines. It is amazing how it works on 75-100 year old metal. Dwight Olsen Lincoln, NE.

I learned a lot watching this episode. In particular the type of towel/duster to use for a particular job. Now I want to learn from Jay's team, how to get rid of overspray when you paint a car. Nice one Jay and the team.

This commercial is awesome!

The Power Wagon transformation is amazing! I am really glad more people are choosing rustoration over restoration if it is a nice survivor. In the early 90's I rode with a guy to Lansing, MI to help him retrieve one of his classic cars that had some work done by a shop there. The persons house where the car was parked had a good size, but unassuming looking garage. When we walked inside, I was shown the 1958 Joie Chitwood Thrill Show Corvette convertible. This car was AWESOME! At that time in my younger life I had never heard of Joie Chitwood, and the internet didn't yet exist to do any research, but I did not doubt the authenticity of the car. It was a thrill hearing the owner talk about Joie Chitwood & the 'vette. Knowing more now about the pedigree of the 'Vette, I feel even more privileged that Mr. Francis invited me into his garage. I am really glad I got to see the 'Vette in the delivered to Joie Chitwood condition. From recent the photos I saw, it underwent a concourse restoration. To me it's no longer the original 1958 Joie Chitwood Thrill Show Corvette convertible.😢

Wow, Jay. You rock. And you involved local talent too. God Bless you Jay for being the custodian of these cars and their histories...

I had the twin to the dodge pickup truck. Back in high school. I love the fact that jay shows his cars to the world and drives them from time to time.

After spending decades in the 1%’s auto transport industry, including moving cars for Jay, I have found his products are top shelf!

At this point Jay has to be the person who has driven the greatest variety of vehicles on the planet. I mean it should be in the thousands by now.

So GOOD!!! Thanks Jay for always providing useful information not just trying to throw hordes of content out there. You have QUANTITY AND QUALITY = rare 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I like that new Jay Leno garage t shirt the polisher was wearing

Thanks Jay

That customer validation is relatable.

Lots of "Bird Stuff" in Florida ... no wonder the Big Guy is into polishing things - - the shine on his head is pretty awesome !

I think it would be neat to see a review of that Dodge pickup when it gets done, especially a before-and-after on the paint.

The truck came out stunning.

Jay restoring important vehicles for future generations, cheers 🥂

Thanks, Jay, for everything you and the boys do. I really enjoyed the before and after, amazing.

Selling the stuff at Walmart shows how serious Jay is about making these products be affordable. He could have easily used his fame to make an expensive boutique line of products, but he didn’t. Typical Jay, his heart seems to always be in the right place. I’ll try some of his stuff out simply for that reason next time I see it.

I would love to see the crew working on jay's cars (and their cars too) on a more regular basis, keep up the great work :D

It is great on a Saturday just when you get the urge to work on your project you can get the products demonstrated at a store like a Walmart , not having to go to a website and waiting for a box to come . The casual demonstrations and really excellent video gives you a confident feeling that you will get a similar result. Thank you for sharing your research and the products you have developed help other car owners keep our toys looking like they should!

I have used a well known brand for years and decided to give the Jay Leno products a try as they are readily available in Walmart. I am loving them, and the quick detailer was impressive in shine and water beading. I am a fan.

Well, now I have a new detailing product.. I usually take my vehicles to a detailer for the spring clean, but I love spending a day up at the cottage detailing a vehicle, put some tunes on, grab an adult beverage and go spend the day doing a rewarding job, cuz it is rewarding.. Now that I know about Jay's teams products, I'll be ordering those asap.. looking forward to it.

Sneaky!!! Jay just throws up an infomercial and makes us like it! 😂 That’s quality info that’s entertaining!

My Dad bought a VW Dasher the first year they came out. It was always outside, and it got very chalky. We wanted to sell it, and I ultimately ended up using Comet cleaner to shine it, but it looked like a gem when I was done. Took several rads and all day to do.

The truck looks fantastic.

I’ve tried a lot of detailing products and Jay’s really are exceptional! A little pricey but they work just as well or better than products 3x the cost. I have a semi-professional car detailing business and have tried an array of detailing brands and Jay’s really are right up there with the best and maybe even the best. Definitely give them a try!

Thanks Jay. You deserve that check in my book. Appreciate your taking time from your busy schedule to share your collection with us, your knowledge of each vehicle and your passion for the industry. Please keep making these great videos. Just for fun, how about a cooking lesson? Ha ha. God bless.

Thanks for all of these terrific videos Jay. I've gotten a tremendous amount of joy from watching them.

Absolutely awesome! Such a under appreciated and discussed topic of the car restoration community. Thank you Jay!

Thanks for making a great product for the car community Jay.

I’m sure Jay would rather be thought of as a good guy than a living legend.

Thanks for all your videos Jay, I look forward to your show 🎥each week. Went to Walmart today and bought some of your JLG Quick Detailer. I've got a 1960 Triumph TR3 survivor that I pulled out of a barn last summer. I'm driving it now but I have been scared to jack with the paint, don't want to screw it up. The last time this car was polished was most likely in the 80's. Thanks for the heads up on your products, now I can begin to work on shining the paint. The paint is the correct color but not original paint, I suspect it was painted between 1960 and 1965. I have provenance detailed records all the way back to 65 and no mention of a repaint. The records 📂✏ are so detailed every oil change and almost every tank of gas ⛽has been recorded, and of course all the big stuff like points and plugs. lol....😁 Thanks much!!! 🏁🏁🏁

Great episode and nice to see some of the fellas around the shop too.

At the start ,I love your philosophy Jay.You are a true legend ,great Man you are Cheers!

Love to see the continued progress of your projects. Keep them coming

What i like about your show is it's real. No flashy b.s. and you get straight to the point which we all love. I have a 47 ford sedan deluxe that underneath is all really 80 Mustang with 302 4barrel carb that i am restoring as i get the money almost done, another 10 grand and i'll have it done it done. But have some bad health and have to pay to get work done now. I really love your car collection and how much care you put into them. Plus you give great tips, so please keep them coming! P.S all you new car guys...you're never done restoring your car!! P.S.S. Jay could you give some tips and tricks about excess motor vibration and the best parts that mate with each other like the best cams, valves, etc? Thanks

Thank you Jay for all your awesome videos with all the fabulous cars!! I remember your Dorito commercials back in the day.

My favorite show! Thank you for sharing Jay!

I love these restoration blogs the most

This is amazing...I have been the first viewer for 18 weeks in a row....I just want say thank you Jay...Topman !!

I have Detailed cars since I was 14..... I am now 63 . There are a lot of good products you buy cheap ....and alot of cheap products that are hard to use and are very expensive ...it takes alot of trial and error to learn what works and what doesn't....I love your videos and I have dreams abought owning dream cars but I am just a poor boy and I can still dream .

The metal polish is an excellent product as with the entire line of Jays products!

wow Wish i could come to your garage .God bless you and keep guiding us with wonderful knowledge .You are inspiration to the youngsters to maintain heritage.

Chris looks like he is a busy man.. Then again he is busy because Jay's cars look like I could eat off them :)

Working on my project sleeper Passat Wagon project and a 6100 Tool Time Schwinn that I'm restoring after previous owners not showing much care. Saving the original paint is Soo important so whoever the next owner gets it they can enjoy or take care of it better.

Jay when is the episode you filmed at Cafe Cultura in Azusa coming out😁 ??

Always nice to see old seats and paint get restored, mostly that brass.

Thank you guys; GREAT blog 👏👏👏

Thanks Jay! You're the greatest!

Jay... how awesome guy you are!! Thank you sir

Great video....been detailing for 25+ years always learning....thanks 😊

The only car care products I use on my car. Very happy with all the JLG chemicals,especially the Radiant protectant.

Helpful indeed. Purchased an old two-tone, cream and orange, Ford pickup. After polishing with a product named TR3 the truck was red and white. Wonderful. Confident your products are as good if not better. Point being to use them and watch the magic before your eyes. Carry on. SLC Utah

Love seeing all of this. Brilliant crew

Awesome,.... havent had the pleasure to try your product line yet, i do detailing on the side , so its on the to do list fore sure ! Glad You ask the Guys to participate in the video, Great Crew!

17:07 Love the honesty! Jay's my new best friend!

I recently bought some of your products. Can’t wait to try them on our first nice day. Ok don’t have an actual garage, so I have to do it all outside. I’ve got a nice ‘94 step side pickup I want to keep looking nice.

Can we get more behind the scenes looks at mechanical restoration? What all goes on under the hood. I imagine there is a lot of time and effort that keeps these cars running!

Great results, especially that Dodge truck.

Thanks Jay you and your crew are the best

Thanks for your creative resourcefulness in developing your restoration products for everyone who enjoys all genres of vehicles.

Jay , I bought a number of your product over the past few years. I know using them is a no brainer for the most part but your video helps in getting the most out what you offer. Proper techniques can make a huge difference and maybe keep me from damaging something. I hope you do a few more.

Sharp truck Jimmy!

There's a few rare oddities Jay would like in the town I grew up in. An old man used to drive his 1908 buick to go shopping back in the ate 1980s. Then come into town and pick his grand kids up from school in a rolls royce phantom. Not sure what happened to them but well worth a look

I’ve actually been waiting for you to tell us more about your products Jay! Unlike a lot of “entrepreneurs” these days trying to sell us their hopes and dreams, you’ve had that stuff and have been using it for so long without saying much, it almost seemed like you were holding it back from us😁

Jay is a car guy’s car guy. How I would love to meet Jay and just talk cars.

Jay is the man.

That Dodge came out looking beautiful.

Nice! I never knew you had your own product like. Actresses have make up and fragrances, Jay has polishes. But c'monn, that Dodge truck was repainted.

Incredible!

Thanks Jay. I really appreciate how you dressed up for this fine product commercial.Lol Seriously Jay, I've never met anyone who takes better care of their cars and equipment than you and your crew.🤙

Can you imagine how nice is to be working for Jay Leno?? To have him as a boss ?? You say Yes Sir even before he asks

Fun fact: For cleaning leather seats you only need a good coconut oil shampoo used with a little water and your choice of sponge, microfiber sponge would be my choice. Work the coconut oil in using your hands in gloves also. Then lightly wipe with microfiber towel and follow up with any brand leather conditioner👍

I'll get there to see your awesome garage one day, Jay. I'm beating 3b lung cancer, and you're on my bucket list. Also, that's not oxidation he rubbed off, it's aluminum. 😉

I originally thought you were just rebranding some other products. That’s impressive that you designed your own!

Jay I wold absolutely love to sit and talk cars with you ... Thanks for taking your time n sharing your wonderful car collection with all of us.😁

As a Cal Poly grad, thx for giving the credit & n exercising the young minds.

Thank you for the informative video on car care! Nice to know how your cars are kept so spotless! How about videos on the Model X Duesenberg, the Model SJ Duesenberg and that ‘56 Imperial with the Hi-Way Hi-Fi!

Did you make this one for me!? I talked to your employee on the phone and mentioned how I didn’t think Jay was a chemical engineer but still ordered that detail kit. That was approx 2-3 hrs before you posted this video. Weird… thanks Jay and kind employee!

It was good to see the 7 liter. Maybe you could give us a ride in a future episode.
