“Don’t wash your car with dish soap” I LOL’d.. I actually use meguiars wheel brightner for my hand washes. Letting it bake in the sun also makes it shine even more!
Very well done video. Just one thing about the wheels. You may find it useful to work from the top down so dirt you wash off runs to a dirty part of the wheel rather than over the already cleaned part of the wheel.
I like to to do the wheels first then do a pre foam rinse it off then foam it again then hit it with the mitts. Rinsing right away can push the grim into the paint so I let the foam lube it up and let the soap do its job with the dirt.
Hello, Love the videos but someone recently told me I can’t detail cars unless I have a water recovery Matt in California due to the clean water act. Any advice for that?
Good stuff bro very helpful. What do you use for the heavier grime wheel and tires? I tried p&s brake buster and meguiars wheel & tire and don’t seem to work too well unless I go back over them 2 times. Adam’s wheel & tire works good but I feel like it’s too strong for weekly use on ceramic coated wheels
IF you're doing weekly washes, brake buster is more than enough to properly clean the tire and wheel. It's what I use on my daily driver and I put in about 400 miles weekly going back and forth to work. Unless your off-roading weekly lol.
@@richardcortez9850 that’s my dilemma I have off road tires. Don’t go off roading by any means but do get more dirt on them than your typical street tire. Brake buster works it’s just annoying having to repeat the process twice to get a clean tire
I don't get it - if you wash the body first, then the wheels, how will the wheel dirt get onto the paint? If you wash the wheels first, the dirt from the wheels will get onto the mitt and then you're going to use that to clean the body?
Yo bro im barley starting i wash cars only cause im barley starting im saving up for a vacuum and detail stuff you know any good but cheap products i could get
Home depot for shop vac and pressure washer , I use dewalt for my business and hasn't let me down , Hawaii detail does really good test on product and can help steer the way to your best results for the money
If you want to do it right it's actually a lot of work. Some people get to the point where they realize that and don't have the time, so they hand it over to the pros
The main reason ppl clean the wheels first is to avoid water drying on the paint while you clean the wheels. If you have more than one person working you can easily do both at the same time especially if you use a ph neutral soap & spot-free water. The dirt from the wheels is really a non-issue. You can easily rinse the body off I’d any dirt from the wheels gets on it. 👍
I tried this today but my wheels ended up getting over spray from foaming and rinsing the car, requiring another dry step on the (gloss black) wheels so they don't get hard water spots. Pick your poison I guess.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to do the wheels last. It's easier to reduce over spray to the fenders when doing the wheels and it's no problem to wipe the fenders down since they're clean and protected. But you'll get a lot more over spray onto the wheels when doing the car, requiring more work. Especially if you did tire shine already, so you can't touch them without getting gunk onto your towels.
Just me but I personally think you should do wheels and windows last on car, if clean them first and wash the car after everything will just fall on the wheels again
