Adam's Polishes Winter Washing | Cold Weather Detailing

[@socallaghan01]

That's one hell of a winter beater.

[@djcarkhuff]

socallaghan01 agreed! "Winter beater"...... Drives a vehicle that literally costs more than my house. (Sigh). Good vid though!

[@Starfish933]

Was just about to say the same thing 😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@patricktuggles4815]

Only $75K.. Lol. But I can't say anything my mom drives one too but it's a suburban 😂

[@theduece5221]

Love these older long cut videos with Adam, love the background music, super relaxing! I’ve watched this video a couple dozen times, and like 3 times this week, its just relaxing! Maybe consider more of these in the future!

[@1800Beatdown]

Nice work love all the Adams products! Still not gonna use the brush on the clear coat though!

[@vcjjj08]

I agree.

[@dylanw9412]

"winter beater" *presses button to automatically close tailgate* Hahah love the videos though! Just got a bottle of detail spray today. I'll find out this weekend if I like it more than the Chemical Guys I've been using!

[@jorgenvonstrangle000]

as a former CG guy, CG detail garage unfollowed me once I started posting Adams on ig too 😹

[@jorgenvonstrangle000]

I love adams products, wheel and tire cleaner, their ceramic graphene coating is on my daily driver as of 9 months ago and I love drying it with a sidekick and using a jumbo xl towel and CS3 for a finish. I live in south texas so we get snow maybe every 2-4 years.

[@hotpepper684]

This changed my life a while ago. I thought I should mention it. Thank you.

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

I never knew millionaires wash their own vehicles,lol

[@SEEUENTEE]

I don't even know why I'm watching this Im in socal 😂 guess I'm here to support Adam

[@zubastik2992]

Crud is his favorite word😁

[@smb1014]

and blast

[@robertjakicic5878]

Several problems with this, one , I live in Pa. the temp this time of year does not get above 25. They put down so much salt that even when the roads are dry on the highway it’s like driving through a white dust storm. All I do is go to the self car wash to rinse off the salt. By the way, no one has an hour to wash there car at a self car wash with others waiting behind you.

[@snapascrew]

Robert Jakicic do tires at home before you go to wash. Show up at wash, rinse, fill bucket with water, wash car with truck brush, rinse again. Skip floor Matt’s, leave car wash. Total of 15 minutes inside car wash. Now that you’re in the parking lot do the h20 guard and gloss and hand dry with towel. Durrrrrr

[@ncurc9766]

I live in PA to, the salt is absolutey brutal this year, forget about a clean vehicle.

[@DakotahNaugle]

I live in Pittsburgh Pa and these high of 0 days make that 40 he has seem nice

[@richonder8435]

Go after peak hours, early morning or late evening. Then you don't have to worry about any one behind you waiting.

[@knattnac]

Rich Onder Early morning or late evening freezes everything.

[@ethanhaynes777]

5 degrees where I am. And not a day over 20 in the next 10 days. Not sure how I’m gonna wash. It freezes at the self wash before I get it off

[@GavDetails]

Same here... 26* forecasted for next Saturday... Sucks... I'm going to see about using my parents garage

[@jordyn70jm]

Well detailed video, you blew my mind with all this info Adam! I’ll be sure to order me some products! I’m from winnipeg, Manitoba Canada!!

[@Paulog1990]

Drinking game: drink every time he says “Crud”

[@smb1014]

Or blast in his other videos

[@mendenos]

Damn I would love to do all this at my car wash but I'd feel bad hogging up the bay. Course there's signs not to bucket wash:/

[@GavDetails]

All of the coin operated wash locations near me specifically say no bucket washing... What about when it's below 25* ? Limited options in the Midwest.

[@rockhills]

Gav Details Go at non busy hours.

[@GavDetails]

rockhills non busy hours? What happens when it's 6*? I've made due to this point... just pointing out the obvious

[@rockhills]

Gav Details If it's 6° you have a choice to wash or not. I probably would wait. Lol Waterless/rinseless washes are also an option. I would get the heavy dirt off first. You can also find a friend with a heated garage and work there.

[@GavDetails]

rockhills yes, I rinse 1st and use wolfgang uber rinseless. This isn't my first rodeo. This video shows you the best case scenario for everything

[@ihatemacs9]

Almost every winter wash "how to" video takes place at a coin wash that doesn't allow bucket wash. I suspect they don't show the part where they have to tip the attendants $20 to look the other way

[@SoCal780]

You’re right, I AM crazy! Lol! Great vid, Adam. Btw, I love the hoodie that you gave me which is the same one you’re wearing in the vid. It looks great on you too!

[@davidrousseau6957]

60-80k “winter beater” must be nice to have that much money for a beater lol. Excellent products and yes we are just as nuts as you up here in New England.

[@HEMi1995]

A pro detailer did not just recommend using a fucking brush to wash a car. Hell no.

[@DevPack]

They put soo much salt on the roads here in PA. Its impossible to keep it clean during the winter....

[@bobfredericks6545]

DevPack plus my local car wash does not allow the use of buckets!!!

[@raige93]

Dude I know. The struggle is real

[@stephencarbonaro5462]

With it being 10 degrees in NE Pa, there is nothing that can be done to keep these dang cars clean.

[@DJR5280]

DevPack I would spray the car and the under carriage as much as you can during the winter and do a deep cleaning in the Spring. You want something that will neutralize the salt, something like AMMO NYC winter wash boost. Ultimately rust will probably get your car if you live in the rust belt.

[@ORTEGAH16]

Yes great video 👍🏽 more like these

[@1NC4stroker]

Why not make the brush a micro fiber brush or better yet...boar's hair?? No way an "exploded tip" nylon brush is good for any finish. Just saying.

[@Neur0bit]

Ditto.

[@rockyringo1247]

Thanks for a great video

[@HeidiandFranny]

Great video Adam! Nice production too. Do you have a soap that is specifically formulated to remove salt? It seems like they just upped it on is here. If your hands are getting cold I like to use rubber work gloves. They really help! Maybe a new product?

[@IKhanNot]

They must hate this guy. They always give him giant SUVs to wash.

[@DONOTCLICKMYPAGE]

Dashcam Dumbasses I’m sure he doesn’t mind... he kinda owns the company lol

[@patricktuggles4815]

I'm pretty sure that's his

[@RealMPe]

Doing this every week. I Have to. Here in Southern Finland they salt those roads like crazy.

[@devn3813]

M Pe they do in the U.S too at least where I live. If we get a dusting of snow they salt the roads. The other day they didn’t even plow but they salted. It’s ridiculous

[@humanbeing4150]

Midwest Mopars And up here in the Great White North

[@craigsmestad6952]

Super great video! We're in central Wisconsin..... I can relate well to the need for the winter detailing efforts!

[@Murrayfan]

Yeah how exactly do you wash a vehicle properly when you have several weeks to a month with no temps above freezing ? Here in Nebraska we had 60 straight hours of 0 or below . And no days in sight above freezing for at least 2 weeks . Any tips on that?

[@gamrboy100]

Daron Chambers rinseless / waterless wash will do the trick

[@_kylejohnson_]

This guy really loves to say "nooks and crannies"

[@GraveDigger2601]

only use 1 bucket for the paint???

[@alexs1429]

It’s been in the negatives in Chicago. My car was filled with salt for like a month. Took it to a hand car wash place cause it’s too cold to do it myself. It was finally 17 degrees yesterday, still I bet the doors are frozen this morning.

[@svt3941]

Good job 👍

[@Cristian_Pelaez]

If the Yukon was ceramic coated shouldn’t it be dried and then applied with ceramic boost? I remember seeing that guard and gloss was not supposed to be used with ceramic coating.

[@null2268]

N711DA Agreed. Nothing except silica Boost is supposed to be used on their coating/any coating for that matter. It messes with the hydrophobic qualities. Shrug.

[@NS3825]

N711DA you found out a little late but this guys videos are full of shit. All the scrub tools are shitty but everything else is awesome... I’m only watching cause I’m bored

[@paulff3]

He said coated and sealed. So, he reapplied sealant. I think the owner of a car care company would know. No?

[@joeb5763]

PAUL F You don't need to seal it after a ceramic coating. All you need is the ceramic coating and a maintenance silica spray about every four or five washes. Maybe some Iron X and Tar X once in a while to decontaminate. But definitely no claying. Waxes or sealants are not necessary. That defeats the purpose of your ceramic properties and hydrophobicity and replaces them with those of the wax or other products. Why then go through the trouble and expense of a ceramic coating? Makes zero sense.

[@david_robertson_79]

This is an awesome video!! My only criticism of it all is that after using some of the products. It tends to need a lot concentrated in one area. Just as you seen when the glass boost was being used. That being said, to the average blue collar guy as myself these products do not go far and are in the much higher price range. Also with all this being said, I am a firm believer in... You get what you pay for but, these products are still in a high priced bracket than I would like and could afford. Maybe reconsider the price point per usage of product. I know that I steer away and find cheaper quality products that I can afford. I love the Adams Polishes products just not the prices.

[@theduece5221]

David Robertson to each their own, but i feel these products are super concentrated and a little bit truly goes a long way. I too am blue collar, but I only use Adams, which I firmly believe are the best on the market. They are also having a 20% off sale right now, go check it out!

[@Themazcorner]

What happened with the two bucket method and doing the lower parts of the car with a separate wash-pad(specially during winter) :)

[@bxbmbr766]

Do you have whole package deals?

[@turnit6195]

“it’s cold it’s 40 degrees” i’m gonna wash my car while it’s -8 degrees here in ohio :(

[@danielstock658]

Would love to see a full detail (interior/exterior) of a show car done by you!

[@AdamsPolishes]

Daniel Stock That is definitely on the docket for sure! We added a ton of new interior product in the last year and are preparing to film the extended version of an Interior Detail. Stay Tuned!

[@danielstock658]

Thats awesome definitely looking forward to that and all your other videos! Love Adam's Polishes and every single one of your products... wouldn't recommend anything else! You have definitely made me a life long customer!

[@garrettjacobs8149]

I just purchased multiple products from Adam's including a clay bar, paint sealant, and buttery wax. I have a new vehicle so can I wash, rinse, clay, then immediately seal? what is the steps that need to be taken in between claying and sealing?

[@lightningsmokerXx]

@Adam's Polishes Does using a Clay Bar & Clay mitt ......Remove existing Carnuba Wax/ Synthetic Wax/ Glaze / Sealant?

[@johnfriedman6144]

At what temperature do you wash your car at? Cuz my whole body panel froze while washing my car at the self car wash lmao

[@wrxrono]

Great video just ordered some products

[@nickvvesci8047]

Is the h20 guard and gloss safe for ceramic coatings?

[@lanehooper8281]

Can you use detail spray and H2O gaurd and glass one after another?

[@GTRWendy]

Socal 70 degrees all year checking in! Btw love the car shampoo!

[@SoCal780]

GTR Wendy Yeah I lived in SoCal for 22 years and I miss it and the weather there terribly. Don’t miss the traffic at all tho!!

[@maximinojaimes9860]

Lol it's been colder this year, my first cars of the morning at like 45-55 degrees is freezing to me lol

[@SoCal780]

Maximino Jaimes Well it’s currently 18 degrees where I’m at so don’t feel bad! ;)

[@gale212]

I couldn't do that. Love all four seasons. Mid-Atlantic ftw

[@maximinojaimes9860]

gale212 I travel a couple times a year just to feel them lol, usually to Canada, headed down to Texas in a couple weeks, Only like to sample them I love so cal weather

[@espi3324]

I just bought a kerosene torpedo heater that heats up my 3-car in about 15 minutes to 70 degrees, then wash away. Good investment if you plan on washing all winter long.

[@gale212]

Anyone who lives where it snows knows that washing your car the day after a snow is a total waste. The salt and slush linger for a week if not longer. Don't bother getting it this clean. He had every brush known to man and his wheels were dirty before he was even home again.

[@DJR5280]

gale212 Depends on where you live. In Denver I can usually get away with cleaning my car a day or two after a snow storm. In more humid climates like the rust belt your scenario would fit better.

[@DONOTCLICKMYPAGE]

gale212 of course it will, but by washing regularly in those conditions it makes sure there’s no build up and that you don’t have to spend hours washing to get it clean. It’s called maintenance

[@gale212]

derp derpington agreed. Drive though touch less with undercarriage wash is perfect for that

[@717Lucero]

My favorite products. Adams!! Hell I use the carpet & upholstery cleaner in my house.

[@surroundsoundfreak13]

Dave Lucero I thought I was the only one. I also use their pumpkin detail spray for my sink, counter and toilet.

[@mikeusa]

What kinda brush is that he’s using to clean to body of the car ? Anyone know ?

[@MrPl0xygen]

using a brush ? asking for scratches

[@Capp2015]

i dont think he was asking for scratches.

[@fiouable]

Exactly. These very same people tell us to never use a brush. The truck is surely a lease.

[@shawndejong6699]

For those of us who live in extreme climates, scratches are unavoidable. Either you wash your car/truck at a coin op, risk moderate to severe damage. Or you sneak in your own stuff and risk a few scuffs. My black jeep right now currently looks like its grey due to the salt etc. It's been too cold to wash (-35c or -31F). Since I used a decent sealant before the snow hit I'm hoping I won't have to use a brush or a mit until spring when I can do it properly.

[@SGTOldSchool96]

Never use the brush available at the car wash, he brought his own made of a different material.

[@PushTaStart]

Also stated the car was ceramic coated

[@Siwulam]

Love your videos man. Such a nice vehicle. Jealous of your company and your vehicles.

[@renegarcia7591]

Why haven’t you talked about your new ultra foam wash Adam?

[@brandondarnes3699]

Anyone know where he got that premium sticker on the back of the car?

[@miguelangelvalenciacampuza1689]

Nice job 👍 I love all of your videos but has anybody noticed when he’s starts cleaning something he puts his angry face 😡. LOl 😂

[@kevinmolina4814]

Quick question will claying with the clay Kitt remove my wax coating of the Americana wax?

[@chevyking427]

How do u clean a clay mit

[@waynetibak1828]

Why clay? Won't the clay remove the ceramic coating!? I'M SO CONFUSED

[@davebliley5361]

No the clay will just take off the bonded contamination. He said he put a ceramic coating on the car before winter so the clay won’t remove that. If you just had wax or a sealant on the car, the clay would remove it or most of it. So some people use a detail wax as the clay lube. Doing that can add a thin layer of wax that stays after the clay was used. But that detail wax doesn’t last as long as “real” wax. Pick up some of the Maguires ultimate fast finish from Walmart. It’s in a aerosol can and comes with a microfiber towel like 13 bucks. It provides good protection and goes on and off fast. Probably 10 or 15 minutes of time after your car is clean. The Fast Finish also lasts a long time. You could do a normal car ten to 15 times with one can.

[@joshaden6533]

Here in Minnesota we would be excited to just have dirt on our cars. Here they are covered in salt that rusts away at the metal. And it is way to cold to properly wash a car outside. That is why I drive a winter beater (2002 Buick Lesabre, not a $70k suv...) so I don't have to care if it's dirty or gets banged up.

[@buffalobmf]

cant even do that by me. soon as the water exits the hose it freezes on your car most self washes are shut down too cause i think everything internal is frozen. 40 isnt even cold we wear shorts when its 40 out lol

[@craigschray4486]

Seems like you'd want two warm buckets. One for floor mats, wheels and wheel wells. A second for the body

[@chengyan3056]

So you clay a ceramic coated car?

[@jaysdetailing2627]

Before starting the coin op washer you should get a bottle sprayer with warm water then use wheel cleaner and use a wheel brush. Only because they give you a certain amount of time and it can be costly depending where you live.

[@joeb5763]

I wouldn't clay unless your going to polish and reapply a ceramic coat. Claying can really scratch it up. All you need is Iron X and Tar X. That stuff will dissolve right off without hurting or scratching your ceramic coat.

[@gamrboy100]

Joe B it'll likely be rejuvenated and re detailed after winter ends - either method is fine but clay definitely removes more.

[@blackout300z]

merci Adam

[@fletchergreer529]

Didn’t know an 85k suv was a winter beater

[@mighty-lozz573]

You should rotate your tires so that you get tire shine on the whole tires

[@darkman8022]

40 that's like spring compared to where I'm at try 20s

[@NotVeryNiceToYou]

Rip to all my car friends where the self serve bays walls are covered with a foot of solid ice and rinsing the salt off your car is difficult because the water freezes so fast :) -10 for weeks at a time rip

[@snapascrew]

my winter wash kit didnt come with a clay mitt...

[@flat4314]

I just bought a winter beater this morning paid $650. I'm pretty sure this guy spends more money cleaning his winter beater than I paid for my car.

[@fern8974]

Man its a struggle up north to wash your car, when its too cold(which is all winter basically), the water freezes and you have no chance of drying it, it also snows often and even if its not alot, well guess what, there go the salt trucks.

[@wyattbrawner2041]

So you can apply h20 guard and gloss over the ceramic coating without affecting the water beading properties of the coating?

[@NS3825]

Wyatt Brawner no you can’t this guy just doesn’t give a fuck

[@TurboTonyG]

LMAO @ "You're crazy too"!

[@harshvirkamoh5879]

Great video Adam

[@jxa4508]

“Enter Glass Boost” haha.

[@nicholassmith82]

Swiper no swiping, swiper no swiping, swiper no swiping!!!!!!

[@042452]

Where I live Bucket Washing is not allowed in a Spray and Wash.....

[@thelmadieterle2967]

Your vehicles registration shows expired..

[@AntLive29]

"I'm rubbin it in nice!🤗"

[@understatedautobody]

No two bucket method? Just rubbing dirt around.

[@Jordan-nj2ve]

That 80k Yukon Denali is your winter beater huh? If you want to reduce scratches and swirls as much as possible you use a micro fiber wash mit. Any brush I don't care how soft will swirl and scratch. Nylon bristles will scratch and you will see that in a dark colored car.

[@robabney8808]

No no... dont wash the nastiest part of you car first and cross contaminate to your paint. The wheels and tires have road grime and the back of your vehicle has the dirtiest painted surface. Start with the top front of your car and work back and down. That way the soap bucket isnt full of grime when you wash the cleanest part of the car. The wheels and tires have a tougher surface than the hood and doors. Some of the heavier particles will fall to the bottom of the wash bucket but alot of it will stay suspended in the wash water. The order in which this guy goes at washing alone makes me question everything this guy says. It is just wrong and he gave it no forethought.

[@bretfraz]

He used 2 buckets, one for wheels and tires, the other for the body. No rinse bucket in this video. 12:44 shows him dumping out both. His process is fine for washing the "winter beater". Not meant to be perfect, just get it clean.

[@tt-rs1457]

Winter ? I don't see the winter in your Video...seems like sommer in germany :-)

[@olliesmall4879]

Half of the paint wash stage is spent backtracking getting the places where the brush missed. It would be quicker to use a microfiber Mitt from the get go. Quicker, better and a whole lot safer than a bloody brush.

[@josesemino8284]

Why in a carwash? Why not at home?

[@black007die]

What about the engine and under the truck all that salt is still in there

[@anthonymancuso3675]

Don’t forget to grab your floor Mats

[@Flyin_k]

this is summer weather in Canada....ok i have to search how to wash a car in north pole

[@jd9799]

You've all the gear then you use a bristled brush to wash your jeep? Seriously asking for scratches

[@okarma_1636]

40 degrees im still wearing shorts, and they consider it winter

[@leardi58]

We all know that you run your own vehicle through the automatic car wash. Especially in winter time

[@DS-TRUCKS]

uhh you got OCD i wish i could get away with this... my area people are waiting for the bay!!!

[@joedesando4440]

GO BUFFS !

[@chrisnunya2001]

Never use a brush on your car unless you don't care for minor scratches.

[@berczigabor]

Cleaning the painted surfaces of a car with a plastic brush. Nuff said, other than I'll definitely never buy Adam's products.

[@rebelliousgoat1557]

Man would I be mad if I was parked waiting behind you.

[@bc1281]

LOL. Where's the snow?

[@srtzo6679]

I see circular hand motions 🤮

[@TheDex302]

He’s putting a dirty wash pad and brush back into the clean bucket of water! Grit guards don’t do anything!

[@brydiaz3956]

did he just clay his ceramic coated SUV? 😑

[@jond3188]

my exact thoughts..

[@robl6044]

Why not 2 bucks just one not good ..?..
