How I Wash My Corvette Z06 E1 | Kranzle Power Washer | CR Spotless

[@nichtdafuer]

Hi Chuck! Some detailer would grind the dirty washing sponge over the grid gate and then wring it out before diving it into the fresh water in the second bucket. That way you’ll get far less dirt into your fresh water.

[@AllegiancePressureWashing]

My neighbors already think I'm crazy with my detailing regiment. I can only imagine their response to tripods and drones filming the process. Thanks for the helpful content. lol

[@Corvettes918]

Look honey our neighbor is out there talking to himself again while washing his corvette. 😂😂

[@973C8]

Very similar to my setup. Except much colder here in North Jersey! Washed my '18 Z06 Sat afternoon in 42* weather - hands were numb! Brought it inside to dry it with my new MasterBlaster - love that thing! Thanks for keepin' it real Chuck!

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks for stopping by the channel 👍😎 Part 2 tomorrow

[@noahsandoval1390]

Good video Chuck. Washing is 50% science and 50% art. The art part says wash whatever way is thorough for the washer.

[@Corvettes918]

👍👍😎

[@baronlowe9579]

Great video Chuck! Love all the camera angles. I was so into the video that the 20 mins went by super quick. Thanks for all the tips and links to products.

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you Baron episode 2 coming probably Thursday and it has the fun stuff in it. 👍🏻😎

[@533rec]

Nice to see the pride you have for your Great American Sports Car. I wash my Z06 in my garage. And my Master Blaster is my Stihl blower. Enjoyed it Chuck, and looking forward to part 2. Rick

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Rick, part 2 Tonight. 👍🏻😎

[@skslone9450]

Great video as usual, love to see different perspectives and tools used. Can't wait for part two.

[@Corvettes918]

👍🏻😎

[@Maxdady01]

Keep doing what you're doing, Chuck. The Mamba is gorgeous!

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you 👍😎

[@corvettelife2104]

Chuck this is some great footage, it really helps me show me how to do things differently when washing my car.

[@wonton70]

Thanks chuck! Exactly the video I need just got my baby back from 11 months in the shop getting a new forged engine and she is dirty! Especially with the drag radials the car cannot stay clean!

[@Corvettes918]

Glad you got your baby back. I am sure you can’t wait to start enjoying her one again. 👍🏻😎

[@x3dominator28]

I def use the Obsessed Garage stuff. Matt is fantastic. Love the Kranzle.

[@Corvettes918]

👍😎

[@mycorvettelife]

Good stuff Chuck! Hope you are having a great day. Speaking of great weather, it was 85 today in Phoenix....EIGHTY-FIVE!!!!! Lol

[@Corvettes918]

Wow, that breaking a sweat weather. Love that AZ weather. Would be the place for me since I like cars and golf. 👍🏻😎

[@BlackBeard_ET]

That Red RX7 Tho 😍😍

[@brodylechman1195]

Hahahahaha.... The handshake clip had me rolling😂😂😂😂😂

[@Corvettes918]

😂😂😂👍

[@albertcooper631]

Hy Chuck I hv zr1 wheels on my c6. I usually Jack my car up in back and clean inside the wheels. I then Jack up each side and clean the front ones. Then I wash the car and dry it. Great video black Mamba still a great car.

[@seminole715]

Great vid Chuck, love the drone shots! Thank you much!

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you sir, have a blessed week 👍🏻😎

[@dove7771000]

Great job Chuck. Keeping her nice right to the end.

[@Corvettes918]

Yes sir, she deserves the best all the way up to the hand off. 👍😎

[@rondail5675]

Thanks Chuck. I have a black 2017GS. You given up on black scares me. You list 6 different micro-fiber towels. What do you use for detailing. I use was, which is best. Goo and Griots list many.

[@Corvettes918]

The second one on the list is my go to platinum Pluffle. They get softer after every wash. I have about 30 of these. They are great for quick detailing and buff things off perfectly

[@swfloridacarguy1987]

Chuck nice to see the processes and how the drone hovers. Again love the rides segment as usual...looks like MaCMulkin’s second floor... if it is fantastic GM dealer Tommy Thompson and his crew are terrific folks as Rick Conti is. Also really like the drop down arrow listing the products you use, very helpful...

[@petercarey9771]

You're having entirely too much fun Chuck. 😂 Save the Wave!

[@Corvettes918]

Always, life is to short not to enjoy it. 👍🏻😎

[@toddfoxx9945]

Awesome video Chuck, Thanks, looking foward to the next couple videos!!

[@popocpd]

"First thing I use a wheel well brush....looks like....like this". LMAO 😂

[@Byley-e7h]

One thing I notice about you guys and gals in the U.S is you all go in With the wash mitt before rinsing to the snow foam. Over here in the UK we snow foam the dirty car then rinse with the Kranzle before making physical contact with the paint work which helps avoid the dreaded swirl marks . There must be a reason/logic for this as your cars look fantastic ! 👍

[@danieldoherty2119]

Great video Chuck. Sound quality was excellent.

[@randyrhodes7526]

I actually spray foam twice, 1st time I let soak spray it off then re-apply foam and then touch the car with wash mitt, as always thumbs up !

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Randy and that is something I will try. 👍🏻😎

[@n4aride480]

That's pretty much what I do.

[@helderponte9087]

Hi chuck another great video always sharing all the products with everyone 👍like that god bless

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you Helder for stopping by the channel this evening. 👍🏻😎

[@dchildress17]

Great video Chuck. Can’t wait for my foam cannon to get here.

[@Corvettes918]

You going to really enjoy the foam 😎👍

[@ozzstars_cars]

Shine that baby up Chuck! My new GS i picked up Saturday has so many dealer prep swirls/scratches i'm going to be doing an 8 hour paint correction polish job. Labor of love but a damn shame! thinking some Expel on the front bumper cover after I'm done.

[@Corvettes918]

That’s why dealer has been instructed to not touch the ZR1 😂😂. A good one step correction should get it dialed in. 👍🏻😎 Definitely some XPEL on the front and mirrors.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Good advice and enjoyed the video, techno music free!! haha Take care man

[@larrynewberry3500]

Nice video again Chuck. Don't know if you did one on the ceramic coating but I'd like to see one and an explanation of the product.... Thanks

[@Corvettes918]

I will be doing one on the ZR1 so stay tuned. It’s easier than you think to do.

[@Logan-te3iq]

Your doing a great job I wash my cars the same way man, love the vids on washing cars keep it up

[@BlackKite]

Great video! I'm taking mine in tomorrow to have the Feynlab ceramic coating done 😊

[@Corvettes918]

👍😎

[@kyled4156]

Great video Chuck, I agree on Matt, I buy almost all my stuff from him.

[@Corvettes918]

He is an amazing resource. He has spent allot of hours and money coming up with the perfect washing solution. All the props go to him. 👍🏻😎

[@jordano69]

Been waiting for this video for awhile! 👍

[@Corvettes918]

It’s a two part and the next one should be up Thursday. Thanks for stopping by the channel. 👍🏻😎

[@ricktokle5848]

😎🇺🇸 Hey Buddy Great Job👍I learn so much from watching KZbinrs on how to videos. Washing and waxing does and don’ts thanks Chuck Peace ✌🏻

[@Corvettes918]

Part two has my favorite car washing tools for sure. Thanks for stopping by tonight. 👍🏻😎

[@nickgizzi4329]

Enjoyed the video Chuck. Will be buying the kranzle pressure washer.

[@Corvettes918]

It’s definitely worth the money best hands down.

[@garycrumrine9538]

Gotta ask Chuck, what does the guy have across the street? I can tell it is an early 60's car, but can't see the model. If I had to guess it is an early Lemans/GTO

[@brianheinemeier3213]

Chuck all the car stuff is fantastic but you forgot to tell us the most important thing. What did you shoot on the course?

[@Corvettes918]

😂😂 76 but the season is young.

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

You have the $350 dollar buckets too,lol,nice set up Chuck👌

[@Corvettes918]

I do 😂😂 I have drank the cool aid 😁

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

Corvettes 918 Thats when you know God is good ,God is great💯

[@kinggrimlock35]

Hey Chuck, I never wash my car under sunlight cuz it leave the water spots on your paint. But that car is beautiful!

[@Lilripper850]

I’ve never understood why so many people don’t leave all their wheel tools in a soapy bucket when they’re washing their wheels. It would give you guys so much more lubrication. Matt does it the same way just wet tools no soap whatsoever. I use all the same tools as you to clean my wheels the only differences my wheel bucket is filled with soapy water. I even foam my wheels down before I scrub them.

[@chancethagapper]

The intro with headphones is awesome!

[@kodiak8472]

Hey Chuck. Great video. A couple of questions. What is the foam cleaner you use? And do you know if it is safe for convertible tops. Also, what is the pressure output of your power washer? I am concerned that if the pressure is too high it might hurt the paint finish. Thanks.

[@Corvettes918]

I use Adams soap if you want to know the soap I use. The pressure washer is 1400 psi totally safe for washing cars.

[@disciple777]

Awesome videos! yeah man !, Black is the worst color to keep clean , I was thinking about getting a carport to wash my truck but someone suggested the CR Spotless, have you had any trouble washing in the sun ? when you are using the CR Spotless do you wash using the CRS or just during rinse before drying?...Awesome vette btw

[@hisokaspider4882]

Question (purchased a 19' Stingray 2LT) - the windows are smoked & even though they look OK they are not as tinted as on your car. Did your car originally come with smoked windows? If so (or not) what percentage [tint] are your windows? Did you also do the windshield too?

[@benmartz3405]

Sweet i love that mazda. Rx7.

[@Corvettes918]

👍😎

[@mikeshevlin]

Nice video. So where did you get the stool seat on wheels. Looking for something like that. Thanks

[@brewtankoutdoors1432]

Finally made it in the vid.. Thx Chuck!!!

[@Corvettes918]

👍🏻😎

[@thelui447]

Love the Video Chuck! Can you make a video to show how you clean your engine? I have a fairly new C7 and the engine is super clean, but I wanted to see some tips on how to maintain it to keep it clean. Thanks!

[@laurafelicetti3569]

Chuck, Do you rinse soap off car after you foam it ? then use the bucket method to wash car after dirt is rinse off.

[@Corvettes918]

I just let the foam drip 90% off the car then I do the 2 bucket I do not rinse it then wash it. Some people do spray it off and some people don’t. I don’t.

[@369darkknight]

Hi Chuck. I have to tell you that was on the fence for buying a Vette. Was a little stretch for me but I always wanted one. But after seeing your videos, I have to get one. And am not a fan of the car dealer but I guess a necessary evil. Lol

[@Corvettes918]

😂😂 I get comments like this all the time. If you watch them to long you have to have one. 😁 Thanks for being a member of the community.

[@familystupakis229]

You use the CR Spotless for the whole process or is it just for rinsing? Thanks!

[@RustyZipper]

Lol, You have a way more time and patience approach to washing your car than I did in my video. I keep it simple, but Black is not forgiving like my yellow is (or was) 🤐

[@leaveorlibertyfishing7670]

Was that a red v8 swapped rx7 that passed by around 2:30

[@jamesrobbins3285]

good one Chuck, got to try the foam deal!!!

[@Corvettes918]

👍😎

[@superameric8]

Awesome vlog! Learned lots!

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks for stopping by Rick 👍😎

[@Brad_James]

Very nice instruction, not as picky as Matt but very nice haha!!!!

[@Corvettes918]

Matt is OCD overload compared to me. 😂😂 Love his style and is a great resource. 👍🏻😎

[@Brad_James]

Yeah I thought that I had problems until I watched him!!!

[@petertamburro6578]

Nice setup chuck. Thanks for the love on my new 18 GS. Who mows the lawns there ? 😂

[@Corvettes918]

😂😂 I mow my own with a reel mower.

[@richardwilcox3298]

Hey chuck did you ceramic coat the the wheels. If so how’s it holding up

[@Corvettes918]

I did and it’s done really better than I thought it would. If I was going to keep the Z would definitely put another coat on it after 2 years.

[@darthvader4867]

Black cars look good when they’re clean. But they’re definitely a challenge to maintain. You can see all the dust and scratches on them.

[@82Bjarni]

why dont you ring the dirty water out of the pad, before you put in to the wash bucket?

[@Daviddear30]

Do the c7 mirrors turn all the way out? On my c6 they would and that was the easiest way to dr them. The water runs out better with them turned all the way around/out

[@Corvettes918]

They turn all the way in. The Master Blaster works great no issues with the new vettes and water 👍🏻😎

[@pooneyheat]

Have you ever thought about trying the Kamikaze sponge that esoteric sell? It's great for black paint!

[@Corvettes918]

I no matt uses it on the S2000 but they were out of stock before I started the series. I have some in order to try out.

[@StreetProduction303]

I just use a median sized brush to clean my wheels. Much easier than a mitten.

[@randyhalko3870]

Great video Chuck! I hate you,lol! Wearing Shorts! It's15° outside here in Wisconsin. I bought a foam cannon and can't wait to try it out this spring.

[@tomchapman6368]

Great job Chuck! I am looking for those tail light lenses! Where do they come from!?

[@Corvettes918]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHmygmirbrqLgck

[@MercedesMechanic]

where'd you get the wire baskets on your walls, I need one to put my wash mitt in to drip dry

[@blanejr1]

Question....When you spray the foam and then start washing it looks like some of the foam had dried onto the car. Does that hurt anything or is it not a problem because of the CR Spotless and the type of soap you're using?

[@Corvettes918]

Its a PH neutral soap in that its Adams shampoo so as soon as the CR Spotless water hits it, It washes right off.

[@blanejr1]

Nice! Thanks for the reply!

[@MrDarrickCami1]

Hey Chuck how hard was it to do the gun like that and if you do it can you still put a long barel on it

[@Corvettes918]

You can definitely do a longer barrel if you want. I just use the short one since the vette is so low to the ground.

[@MrDarrickCami1]

Ok thanks what all did you do to do that just screw on a quick attach

[@MrDarrickCami1]

I guess I should have watched a little longer before I asked I see the longer barrel lol

[@fredchilds6808]

I would like to see your technique for cleaning the engine bay.

[@TLricks]

Another dope video 👍

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you 👍😎

[@SoCalW212]

Is it hard to hold the pad when doing the sides of the car? I’m used to mitts

[@Mr.Randalll]

you just got another subscriber! Awesome vid my man!! Where can one purchase those garage racking systems? Super organized! love them

[@Corvettes918]

Welcome to the community very honored to have you. I get all my cleaning equipment from www.obsessedgarage.com

[@Mr.Randalll]

I have everything from obsessed garage my man... I was actually talking about the racks inside your garage.. where you place all your cleaning products, the MTM foamer, etc... It helps organize the garage and they look adjustable.. you have them all over your garage.

[@Corvettes918]

those are from Gladiator Lowes or Amazon

[@YourPalSal714]

How do you compare the krenzel power washer to the other electrics like ryobi,sunjoe,ext.

[@Corvettes918]

For me not even close. This one is better made and performance is just much better than any other electronic power washer I have ever used.

[@luisgutierrez5351]

Hello Chuck, I recently joined your channel and enjoy your videos when I have good internet overseas. When you have a chance I would like to ask you a few questions on how to take care of a new vette...My wife and I were killing time looking at new vetts. She suprised me by giving me the green light to purchase my dream car. I just bought a 2017 Z06 w/3LZ & Z07 package. We went to go see the Stingray and we came out with the showroom car...same color as yours, very nice! Anyway, 4 days after the purchase I find myself away from home and it will be a while before I get back. So I have a few questions that I would like your advise. What is the best way to contact you. I'm not sure if email addresses are allowed on KZbin...Thanks and look forward hearing from you! Louie

[@Corvettes918]

Welcome to the community Luis!! Congratulations on the new Z06 and I am sure you can't wait to return to your family and that amazing corvette. My e-mail is [e-mail]. Just beside to put in the subject like that you have a question. I get allot of e-mails and I try and answer the ones marked question before the rest of them. Safe travels my friend and come home safely.

[@Corvettes918]

I just went and clinched on the links and it took be directly to each product. 🧐

[@bradcooper670]

Yeah I just tried with my computer and phone and I just get a blank page. Page address shows redirect but nothing is happening. Weird.

Is your lawn some kind of turf or carpet?

[@Corvettes918]

It’s a sports tiffway grass the same as on golf courses.

Hey Chuck looks like nobody in your neighborhood waters their lawn?

[@noneed6654]

That RX7 in the background!! You know him??

[@Corvettes918]

They just moved in up the street I think a week or so ago. I am sure we are going to meet soon. RX7 and ZR1 down the street from one another. 😎

[@davidclark3603]

Wow! I love your car! Dear Santa.......! I’m in the UK and man, our cars are awful, and the bad news is they get worse every year! Lol! England is really cool (except the weather) it’s the cars! They are an embarrassment to the world every year they suck worse! Lol! That Corvette is beautiful! And yeah, black is perfect. Great video, thanks.

[@bitbiy]

You have an amazing car, and also one amazing garage and set up. I do know one thing for sure however, a snow foam is a pre wash which helps to soften, loosen, and encapsulate harsh abrasive particles from the paint. For that reason it is intended to be rinsed off prior to a contact wash. Running a wash mit through all that dwelled snow foam could have a negative effect on your car’s paintwork causing swirling. I have seen car detailers that will prewash and rinse and then add a second coat of snow foam to act as a lubricant as you describe. But you certainly shouldn’t be moving the already loosened particles around with a wash mitt. This is not intended to be a harsh comment and I hope it doesn’t come across that way, I wish I had a driveway and garage like yours to work on my car. If you haven’t already and you can handle a very odd British accent, Check out this guys video, Car cleaning guru top ten swirl prevention tips.kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3Slm6eKirR0pNU

Todd @Esoteric has decades of detailing experience. Matt Mormon, not even close.

[@Corvettes918]

You will see that in the next episode 👍🏻😎
