10 Car Wash MISTAKES you MUST AVOID!

[@aris1956]

Something else to avoid would be wash the car directly in the sun (especially in summer !). It should be washed in a shady place, to avoid those sun-dried water stains on the bodywork.

[@wilbobagins]

Like Tower Hamlets?

[@christopherb.6720]

Didn’t you watch the video? That was mistake number 4 on here.

[@xdinferedtm7291]

what if i don’t have a shady place to put my car?

[@aris1956]

@@xdinferedtm7291 Try to wash it around sunset, when the sun has gone down, and not maybe right at noon when the sun is beating down directly on the car. ;)

[@simonpj145]

I’m like yeah yeah I know all this. Then I realise I don’t clean my equipment nearly as thoroughly as you, so that’s a great tip. All about never using a fully dry microfibre. Cheers for the post.

[@ONI1013.]

Not only do I inspect my MF towels for debris, but when washing I separate my towels further into 3 categories: (A) Used for Body (generally cleanest), (B) Lower Panel/Undercarriage/Bumpers (second dirtiest), and (C) Tires (Dirtiest). The first two groups can be “safely’ washed together as long as a do a thorough pre-rinse of group (B). Group (C) will always be pre-rinsed and always washed separately, and oftentimes I only reuse Group C only a few times since tire towels gets so caked on with tar/oil, may not even be worth the effort. I will oftentimes take older towels in Group A-B and retire them to C. And that’s my towel management system.

[@RASKALBASTARD]

Common sense well applied 👍

[@MMV.Detailers]

do you use degreaser/ wheel cleaner with a rough bristle brush for the wheels first?

[@ONI1013.]

@@MMV.Detailers Not every maintenance wash, but yes. I use either an APC (with some degreasing properties) and/or an iron remover (like Iron-X) about every 3-6 months. But I do use a two different wheel brushes EVERY wash with soap and water though.

[@afterforever71]

My dad taught me the same stuff. Right on 👍

[@rnitro4950]

Really liked the vacuum hose advice never thought about holding it with my legs. Great video.

[@thrash1337]

I use a microfiber to dry my car and because I'm lazy I just wipe down all windows first, that gets the microfiber wet enough and doesn't scratch the paint.

[@simontrangmar4537]

Hose between the legs tip (if you'll pardon the double entendre!) - that's a great one. Thanks for sharing your experience/tips. It is truly fantastic to see someone take so much pride in their work. Cheers from Adelaide / Australia

[@aris1956]

5:03 Yes, that's typical at the gas station. Not only as a matter of dirt, but even more to avoid scratches on the body when the hose slides over the paint. If you are not careful when vacuuming, you quickly have scratches on the body. I always try to hold the hose up with one hand so that it doesn't touch the bodywork.

[@IceSmacker123]

Another useful tip. Use the 2 bucket wash technique to wash your car. One with soapy water and the other to rinse your microfiber glove after using same on the car.

[@Robbie-mw5uu]

2 bucket is not needed just use foam then rinse with pressure washer, then do contact wash with 5 chenille mitts. Literally no reason to have any buckets.

[@JRGRAY-33]

Very informative tips. You forgot to say never use fabric conditioner when cleaning microfiber cloths

[@Jin-Ro]

Why's that?

[@milesaway3699]

True story..this happened years ago. We had a guy come into our body shop wondering if we could buff out his car. When I went out to take a look I was stupefied how bad it looked. I asked him what happened. He said he had waxed his whole car but it started raining so he thought he’d finish later. Needless to say his paint was destroyed. Never wash/wax your car in direct sunlight and work in small areas before you move onto the next.

[@jirensentry7609]

BRAVO!! STANDING OVATION!!! No one gave me these points at all. None of the leading car detailers gave me this!! 10 out of 10!!

[@user-dr6mb9cz6b]

I have been cleaning my own car for years, still learned something from this vid. Thanks

[@sc0rp67]

The vacuum part though😂😂😂

[@jaylopez5771]

lmao

[@FleetWashTX]

Right just wipe the dirt off lol

[@oxouk]

All great tips. I use a leaf blower to dry the car. Don’t use one that you use for your yard. If I use detail spray, I use a brand new microfiber cloth every time and only use back and forth wiping, nothing circular.

[@johnsrandomness]

Cool tip for water spots: use “Owner’s Pride Eco Wash” for car washing as it is a water softener and will not harden on the vehicles paint. I also use only a cap full for a 5 gallon bucket, I just replaced my first 16oz bottle of it after 6 months of professional detailing.

[@TinoCarCare]

Great tip!

[@sdoriginal18]

where I live has pretty hard water, would using this to wash my car help my problem? I'm holding off on washing it trying to figure a solution that is time efficient and effective so if and or when I move on to other vehicles I will have the right process. Thanks in advance.

[@johnsrandomness]

@@sdoriginal18 yes using this would help 100%, it’s also the only rinseless car soap that can go into a foam cannon. It’s amazing stuff really.

[@fullthrottle300zx]

Another tip washing the microfibre cloth is don’t use a washing powder. It will sit in the fibres. Use a washing liquid

[@Spinback23]

I know and use all of these but the mitt cleaning technique on top of the crate is a serious tip, nice one!

[@TinoCarCare]

Glad it was helpful!

[@saeedfaghani2263]

Keeping that vaccum pipe between legs is really of matter. I noticed that while snowing and all the snow with salt gets into your car plus scratches . That really helps keeping that pipe between legs specially is it is from an outside gas station aspirator

[@Carcility]

Great tips! It's so important to avoid these common car wash mistakes to keep your car in top condition.

[@tebellomaluleka3986]

As for “bonus mistake”😂😂 what a commitment to pointing out these mistakes.

[@md-detailing]

Great tips as usual Tino! i use 2 mitts per car,one for the bottom one for the top but for most banged up daily drivers i get i dont use the 2 bucket method since im going to polish the car after :D

[@TinoCarCare]

Nice one!

[@imrankhan-hm2ie]

@🇲🇦Hello Everyone Depends on the colour. If it’s a dark coloured car like black it’s better to use a water purify as you may get spots when it dries. If it’s light coloured then your method is fine.

[@frias2287]

Nice job l have eg6 turbo

[@autodidact537]

@@TinoCarCare Another good tip is to have two buckets for cleaning. One bucket has the cleaning solution and the second has only water and nothing else. When the cleaning cloth becomes saturated with the dirt that you're cleaning off the car you simply rinse it in the bucket that contains only water thus the dirt and cleaning solution in the cloth will be removed from the cloth and deposited in the bucket with straight water rather than the bucket with the cleaning solution. Then squeeze the water from the cloth and re-apply the cleaning solution to the cloth and continue. This way your bucket with the cleaning solution will not be as contaminated by the dirt you're removing from the car. This method works really well for any cleaning job that requires the removal of a lot of dirt and contamination.

[@GAS.M3]

Must admit, I've done a few of these mistakes....thanks Tino

[@mnoell35]

I’ve been using paper towels. I guess I should stop 😮

[@WaveManMike]

If i drop a wash mit, is there something else i can use it for without just throwing it away?

[@TinoCarCare]

Before throwing it away I would recommend giving it a good pressure wash, if that doesn't work, then a machine wash. If you still think its time to get rid of it then you can use it for dirtier parts of the car, such as the engine bay or even dirty things around the garage/home

[@joevanseeters2873]

That Shark Blue Porsche is stunning! I love that color, one of my favorite colors on an automobile of all time. It very much reminds me of the French Racing Blue of the 1920's and 30's on the Bugatti Type 35's, 37's, etc. Beautiful looking automobile and it would be a contender for the color I would want if I could ever afford one of those incredible automobiles. That Bugatti is pretty sweet too! Another dream car for many people but only a very few people in the world will ever experience. I have only seen one once in public.

If you did drop the wash mitt and you only owned 1 or only owned 2, what would be your strategy? Woiuld pressure washing it off thorougly work, or would you need a proper wash?

[@benjamingeoffrey9051]

You can wash it if your in a pinch, this is just best practice. Optimal to turn it to a tire/wheel mitt if you can.

[@benh8944]

Do you snow foam first, or rinse the car first then apply the snow foam?

[@BrothaNeo]

At 1:53 what are some tips for keeping the water from drying from the sun when we have to wash a vehicle in sunlight? Anyone have any tips?

[@TinoCarCare]

My advice would be to work fast and use a quick spray of water with your pressure washer to keep things from drying. Also, if you use pure water, this will not leave any water marks.

[@BrothaNeo]

I couldn't figure out why those water spots kept appearing on my car after hosing it down. It only seemed tp be appearing in some spots and I assumed something was wrong with the water, since the water was foaming white for some reason when it touched the surface. I would then just use a paper towel or rag to wipe it off, then squeegee the windows. Thanks for setting me straight on that.
