ENGINEER EXPLAINS HOW TO WASH YOUR CAR PROPERLY // BUMPER TO BUMPER // FIRST LAND CRUISER WASH

[@SalvatoreP-d9r]

Now that is a passionate car lover's car wash. Great job David.

[@elvispereira5632]

Washing with water in direct sunlight I believe is not recommended.

[@europana7]

I start with the wheels first ...

[@jlucguerrier]

What? Lol... Washing with water on direct sunlight is bad? Lol... What is your source? High ph soap in direct sunlight is not recommended.

[@geothermal7999]

True! Water Becomes sun spots and hard to remove. Must be 100% in the shade.

[@ding174]

Then your car isn’t waterproof.

[@cardo1111]

True. However sometimes we have no choice and it's usually better than not washing at all.

[@dogger99]

Do a video on why you had and needed paint correction done on your new truck

[@rightlanehog3151]

David, The workers at the Hamura plant will be impressed by how careful you are washing the Land Cruiser they built. 😄

[@p51mustang31]

Great video! Personally I always try to wash in the shade so that I dont get water spots. I use a grid guard in my dirty bucket to remove any sort of dirt/debris from my wash mit. I also prefer to use a foam cannon to apply a nice thick layer of soap on the entire body, but for quick washes this is not always possible to drag out the pressure washer. For drying, I prefer to use a battery powered leaf blower with a soft brisled end on the hose tube. Gets all the water off and eliminates having to use a towel to dry.

[@borneo60]

Oh David, you need a stepper/ladder. Great advice, cheers from Fraser Valley.

[@KorageAA]

Thank you again and again. Your videos has positively impacted my knowledge of cars and how to take care of them!!!

[@simd510]

You dont get rock chips from the highway?

[@JJS432]

It’s actually best practice to wash your vehicle every two weeks at the minimum if to prolong the coating. I wouldn’t dare leave a car unwashed with a coating for weeks on end. Also a grit guard in your dirty bucket would be beneficial.

[@georgetown8986]

Well done. That color is really growing on me. Very sharp.

[@jt.8144]

Keeping it simple. that s the key.

[@milesito599]

Great video David! Thank you. Do you have a perspective on whether an automated car wash is effective in protecting your cars paint? Is there any significant reason not to have my car exterior cleaned bi-weekly at a car wash besides cost? (Not it’s not 100% hand washed)

[@Holyheart1]

How about washing ideas for us that live in the snowy states the salt yuck Thanks

[@kalecrosbie8878]

Buongiorno from Perth David! Nice to meet you.

[@AutomotivePress]

It was great to see you as well! Best wishes in your travels.

[@artrusso6455]

Hi David - love all your videos? David do you recommend ceramic coating a TRD Pro 4Runner - 1 year old! Or is Wax good enough? Thank you!

[@AutomotivePress]

If you don't mind paying for it, the ceramic coating is definitely worth doing. You can also learn to do it yourself...

[@artrusso6455]

@@AutomotivePress David thank U!! I’ll go for it - love my TRD Pro and will keep it for a long time! By the way I bought after looking at your videos - so helpful!! Thank U!!

[@charley95sheridan44]

Great job David! I always like your videos.

[@Marks.Reviews]

For the roof, I open one door at a time and stand on the door sill, with one hand holding the grab handle while the other hand is applying soap or rinsing with water. This saves standing on a stool or chair which can move on you. Also l like how you don’t use a high pressure washer, which can force water into sealed areas causing rust many years later.

[@kenty6973]

Whether 2 or 3 bucket methods, ALWAYS wash your car under shade when the surface is not hot. Wheels are the most dirty part to wash, but since I switch all pads to Akebono, they generate much less dust and are much easier to clean.

[@valentinmikleu]

Hi David. Could you please specify or share a link with the exact ceramic or graphene coating you applied to the car? Thank you in advance !

[@AutomotivePress]

Sorry but I don't know the exact product since it was applied by my detailer...

[@TXprimeFishing13]

Nice color and ride!!! Thanks for the info 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@michaelstewart9366]

This guy loves cars. I go to the touchless wash for 7 dollars takes 5 minutes

[@bjsimon802]

Hope you get the New GX , tacoma and new 4runner in future David, all the best to you from Alberta

[@BaconCruiser]

I live in Flagstaff AZ and we have a ridiculous amount of pine trees that love to cover our cars in sap and pollen. I gotta run my LC through a touchless wash just to pre wash it. When I’m finally done with the hand wash I have 24hrs before the pine trees ruin everything 😂

[@kentoskentos8428]

Awesome as always. Thanks.

[@jlucguerrier]

Good lord, a lot of people really don't know how to wash a car. I started using that TW ceramic wash but hated that it didn't make any suds. Also, I think it leaves a ceramic film when it's rinsed off. That could mask the properties of your graphene coating. You really want a soap that doesn't leave anything behind like carpro reset. Good video though. I did my own graphene ceramic coating and top it off after every wash.

[@derrickaf1]

Great video:)! Thank you...

[@jeff9009]

David, your car must be highly sought after at the dealer’s shop as an exemplary certified used vehicle 😂 jokes aside, I love how much care you take when it comes to cars! 🤩

[@c.a.r.s.carsandrelevantspecs]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing these pro tips! 👍

[@patricklambert5810]

The Engineer said....I believe it...

[@Jontellis]

Beautiful car!

[@deanmitchell9568]

Please tell us the brand of coating the company used been thinking about doing that also.

[@Norwegianization]

Hi, sir. I got an answer. I own a bz4x which has the standard paint(black) I understand that it isnt metallic. so what is the difference, and how do i maintain the regular paint?

[@bizmofunyuns6463]

Beautiful car

[@LindaEll]

What does he use to get bug splats off the windshield and paint?

[@michaelstewart9366]

Get a step ladder brotha

[@jk_isf]

Cool Trail Dust color way Mr. Koichi, definitely pops!👍Will your process work 100 years from now?

[@Kevin-y8c4u]

Do you feel the ceramic coating is better than paint protection film PPF?

[@jlucguerrier]

Depend how long you plan to keep the car. Ppf is great until you have to remove it. That's a nightmare. Ceramic doesn't protect against chips but it's easy to put on and take off.

[@viewlesswind]

You don't put PPF on the headlights?

[@gosman949]

How much for the ceramic coating?

[@RyanLarivee]

Did you get to watch season 2 of Toyota's animee Grip? I was hoping we would get a tease for the upcoming mr2.

[@geothermal7999]

David, gotta wash in the shades.

[@Solaris0725]

Wondering why you’re using sponge for lower body🤔

[@iamnobs1462]

Great video, keep up master😃 .. I suggest you use a better camera bcs this camera is only 720p slightly low video quality .. All the best

[@AutomotivePress]

It was originally filmed as 1080, so I am not sure why it didn't upload as HD. I will find out...

[@psyberiusblack]

This is by far the best thumbnail yet LMAO

[@ducodefaria6355]

Now that you have a grahene or ceramic coating. You should learn how to do a rinsceless wash. Just as good results in half the time without using your hose. There are many You tube video's on this. However, it will not work with a real dirty vehicle. - I would have done a rinse less wash on your Landcruiser. Also, you could use a topper like Amplify by Armour Supply that lasts 2 months. It will protect your coating and gloss it up a notch. Rinseless wash also is good way to wash your vehicle in above freezing temperatures.

[@jlucguerrier]

Rinseless isn't better than a traditional wash but it's definitely faster.

[@petesjk]

Snow foams seemed to be all the rage, but now it just seems like a way to sell more soap.

[@georgefromiami]

Hi David, your employees might be thinking something like this : " Yeah right, when done you can move to mine "....hahaha, me just saying

[@sandan500]

Each to his own but for me it is just a car a tool to get me from point A to B no more and no less. I have a 2024 Lexus RX350 and a 2024 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition because I like to be safe and comfortable as possible. I just take them to the auto car wash when I get the time. I have much better things to do than polish my vehicles. We don't drive very much since we are retired so that is one reason but we are just not that caring about the cars. When we did wash our cars we just hosed them down then use a brush to soap up one section at a time with one of us soaping and the other rinsing. Lastly we did the tires and wheels and then we dried with old bathroom towels we save for these jobs. I haven't waxed in a long time since the new paints hold up fairly well. When I was younger I was fanatical about car cleaning and waxing but as I got older I have more important things to consider. Putting a lot of time and effort into a car which is going to get road dirt, bugs and dings along with inconsiderate folks who park next to me regardless of how far away I park is a waste of my valuable time. If I had a car with paint or body that didn't hold up or rust I would buy a different brand next time. By the time that it would be worn badly I will be tired of it anyway and want a new one. I always bought only what I could afford to pay cash and I have never had a car payment on something that is worth less after I finish paying for it. I was 50 years old after the kids were done with college before I could afford to buy a new car or truck with cash. The worst investment in the world is a car which depreciates every year.

[@jlucguerrier]

Cool story bro. Lol... Actually took your time to write all that for what reason? You watched a car wash video and commented that you don't wash your car. Weird flex

[@Tigerbergslim]

U came on a car washing video just to rant about how dirty u keep ya cars. 😂😂😂😂 u tlk about how u have better things to do with ya time ... but wasted ya time to post tht comment 😂

[@earlenecarson395]

Yeah!!! Yeah!!!

[@voterdown]

🖐🤣 While a lot of this instruction is correct and as much as I enjoy washing my vehicles, this amount of knit picking can really take away from the simple pleasure of car washing. Also, real “trucks/suvs” shouldn’t look like they never get used as a truck and instead look like fine china! ….but, to each his own😌

[@1mymikey]

My car came with lifetime no wash warrantee

[@earlenecarson395]

Thanks for trying to keeping your car clean. 4:30

[@TheBreakfastLover]

"Reapplication of ceramic coat in 1 year"? That's not true. A true ceramic coating can last more than a year, a decontamination wash every year is probably what you meant.

[@AutomotivePress]

Not re-application of the ceramic coating. There is a "refresh" version you use to rejuvenate the original coating that needs to be used once a year.

[@TheBreakfastLover]

@@AutomotivePress in that case you're referring to a ceramic topper. Some require that to maintain warranty but not all.

[@leardi58]

You do not use a grit guard

[@njjeff201]

Cleaner than my dinnerware. Pull out of driveway & you get whacked

[@ary8996]

What's the point of washing tires?!

[@georgetown8986]

You must wash the tires. They get dirty. And the tires must be spray shined along with the wheels. Not washing the tires / wheels is like not combing your hair in the morning.

[@Was-here2]

Am I the only one who hates this color?

[@ary8996]

He probably loves this car more than his family lol

[@Devillers-y9q]

David, why not use a water cannon?

[@jlucguerrier]

Foam cannon
