Recommend a 3rd bucket - for rinsing only - See Pan the Organizer, another Cool Canadian 😊

Fellow Ontarian here, and your video convinced me to change my 21 C8 sebring orange convertible order to add the yellow calipers! thx

[@DailyDownshift]

Awesome choice!

[@davidharrington5836]

When working the top of the car and windshield I find lifting the wiper blades gives better access to the lower glass and cowl area. Great job and washing tips.

[@DailyDownshift]

Yes, definitely, great tip!. We do it as well just didn't show it!

[@youngproscia]

Great job fellas! Do you have a preferred brand wash soap? Very good tips and a beautiful car.

It looks cold there today! I have a rubber mat I cover the rear glass and bonnet vents, it is a battery shop mat and made out of rubber like you find in an inter tube and is large enough to cover the glass and vents with about a six inch overlap all around! You didn’t wipe down the water in the engine compartment. I normally don’t need to but I cover the vents when I wash mine!

[@bluejayrover]

I just use damp towels to cover the vents and only lightly hose/spray around the back glass

[@DailyDownshift]

That's not a bad idea at all. We were initially avoiding the vents but after talking to GM guys we confirmed it's 100% okay, so we take their word for it.

[@orlandolucas8421]

A blower is an awesome way to dry a car. It also gets water out of cracks and drip zones like behind mirrors. Just don’t get out of control with air.

[@johnnyparker2128]

Someone or manufacturer should use a 3-D printer to make covers that go over the engine vents when washing.

[@darlarenner9926]

What soap do you use???

[@dansantarsiero1526]

Apparently you guys don't mind water spots in the engine bay, on the engine cover, glass partition behind the cockpit etc.. I do. It looks terrible! That's why I always cover my vents. before washing.

[@JMan68]

You just made a rookie mistake by running your finger through the dirt = SCRATCH

[@DailyDownshift]

LOL...all for the camera

[@mikelevin4044]

What is PBF?

[@charleshein4477]

You need a license plate frame😉

[@EB-nq6xy]

Is it ceramic coated?

[@DailyDownshift]

Nope, just PPF!

[@EB-nq6xy]

@@DailyDownshift you should think about getting it done, so much easier to clean. Keep up with the dope content!!

[@1v1me_]

Oh man. No Ceramic Coating? I can't imagine owning a car without Ceramic Coating and Paint Correction

[@goalgetters3515]
