FRIDAY NIGHT WASH | Spoiling my Daily Driven 2018 Audi SQ5 in my Personal Detailing Theatre

#detailing #carwash #adamspolishes
I got home from work on Friday and my son was taking some shots on the driveway so I decided to go ahead and give the SQ5 a thorough interior/exterior wash. I started with the interior then took a break to watch my hometown Flames take on the Arizona Coyotes. With a 3-2 Flames victory in hand, I returned to the garage to perform a late night wash. I awoke early this morning to finish things off.

[@Prashantlunawat]

Literally no words for you my man, you up the ante with every single upload of yours. Your videos have taught me a lot about organising and it's importance, and I've grown up to be a more responsible and organised person. This not only helps me be on top of my game, but also my mom, who is happy when I help her with chores. You're a teacher Rick, it would be really kind of you to make us some tutorials too. I find it quite refreshing that your channel isn't quite busy and you don't have to churn out videos like movie tickets. Your passion comes through each video of yours.

[@RADGarage]

Prashant lunawat Wow man. Your comment is inspirational. I think because I teach all day, I just like doing my thing in my garage. I’m glad my approach strikes a chord with you. Say Hi to moms for me! 👋

[@kmarty009]

I love that you added what cleaning product you used! I use to rewind the video an pause to see what you were using! Please keep that in your videos; it’s incredibly helpful! I sat and watched this with a big glass of Pinot Noir! So relaxing and mesmerizing!

[@RADGarage]

I'm glad those titles helped. I found a way to make custom titles using Keynote. I will be playing around with those from now on so you won't have to be pausing all the time! I am glad you find my videos relaxing. I wi admit to using them as a sleep aide on those restless nights!

[@lead-dog]

@@RADGarage It was a great video Rick. Finally got to watch it. I can't improve on the comments already posted. I do like you showing us which product you are using. I didn't realize Adam's had a great leather cleaning combo so I recently bought some lexol which is stuff I used all my life on all leather goods...very old school. But I would get the product you used next time. The Concours was awesome. And, to be snobbish to all my neighbors and friends who only go on the free days...you haven't really been to the Amelia Concours if you haven't bought a ticket for the final day when the show really ends. Speechless almost. Very tired after last week...I averaged over 10k steps a day last week...high of 14k one day. My average is about 5k. So, I got some walking in. Thanks again and hope the car show was awesome! Notice that you have 10k views...twice the subs!!

[@porkorosso7885]

Haha. There’s no way Rick’s family is going to catch the Corona Virus. Deep clean every weekend. Excellent work, again. 👍🏻

[@RADGarage]

Porko Rosso I hope that’s true. 🤞

[@thecardoc5083]

While hosting a Coffee and Cars event here in Houston Texas a guy in a SQ5 showed up. New friend with a gorgeous Nardo grey and wide body set up with wheels and exhaust. I told him how nice it looked and how it reminded me of a friend of mine named Rick from Canada. He immediately said; 'You mean RAD Garage, I love him'. LOL. You're the real deal brother. Always wishing you the very best. Your online friend, admirer, fellow Audi owner and hockey fan - Gil

[@RADGarage]

Thats an amazing ego boost on a rather dull Tuesday! Thanks for sharing that and for your kind support of me and what I do.

[@elfinsteen]

Hey Mate This is not just my favourite video of yours but my favourite detailing video so far I love the no talking The relaxing music How you show the products you’re using I’m glad I’ve found your channel This video in my opinion is perfect Cheers from Australia

[@RADGarage]

Thanks Mark. I had a good time with this project. I think it captures the way detailing and my life co-exist. I try to put a bit of a different spin on each video, so hopefully you enjoy the rest of my stuff as much.

[@elfinsteen]

RAD GARAGE I’m loving your videos, I got out of day surgery today and have been binge watching your channel, I hope more people find you

[@RADGarage]

@@elfinsteen I hope my detailing videos help you with your recovery! Can I ask you how you came up this channel? I'm becoming somewhat obsessed with how the whole KZbin algorithm works. This is a bit of an older video that receives very few views so any insight you could share would be greatly appreciated. Did it pop up in the sidebar? What videos were you watching prior? Any info you could provide wold be helpful. As much as I like the idea of attracting more views, I do find the number of negative/troll comments increases so it's a bit of a double-edged sword!

[@elfinsteen]

RAD GARAGE a few months back a detailing video come up on my feed and I really enjoyed it and started watching more About a week ago I opened KZbin on my TV and one of your videos came up I watched a few of yours before I got to this one I commented on Actually the first one I saw was when you made comment on being the second favourite channel behind the detail geek , I had just watched one of his videos , then your video came up as next up, don’t know if the mat had anything to do with you videos showing up in my news feed , love the set up in you garage too , I think you will very quickly become one of the big detailing channels

[@RADGarage]

I hope people understand my "second favorite channel behind the Detail Geek" was my attempt at a joke! One commenter said they could name at least 10 channels with higher views! LOL. Thanks for the feedback. I'm very happy with the way my channel has grown. I'm most impressed with the level of support I get from viewers. It has developed into a really neat community imo.

[@ryanmulhearn8843]

Really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for investing the time on detailing and putting out great videos.

[@RADGarage]

Ryan Mulhearn No problem. It makes it more fun for me and if people enjoy them, all the better! Thanks for dropping by.

[@Keydownkang_1266]

Love every single video! It’s an obsession! Love my Adam’s products as well!

[@RADGarage]

That's awesome.

[@gjo323x]

Adam's Interior Gel Cleaner is my favorite interior cleaning product to date and I'm glad to see someone else using it.

[@RADGarage]

I completely agree. It's so lathery (word?) and I love that it doesn't run down the various panels.

[@howiefeltersnatch7905]

Fellow Calgaryian here! Great video!

[@RADGarage]

Calgarians know the challenges of keeping a car clean. Am I right?

[@timroscoe4519]

Best video yet! And to agree with others, love the labeling of what products you use with each step. Thank you for including links in your description to all the products!

[@RADGarage]

Thanks Tim. I value the feedback of viewers and I'm always trying to activate their advice when and if I can. I am quite proud of this project. I'm already looking forward to my next project. It might be on a car other than my own if things work out.

[@mz8210]

Ooooh that long ago. Ok, thx..I will be looking forward

[@RADGarage]

Check out video description for lots of links.

[@san28734]

this is my favorite video of yours since the blue R8 that got me hooked in the first place. I'll agree with what a lot of people are saying below, the product call-outs are a really nice touch, the production value even on those bits is excellent. Thanks again, Rick, you make lunchtime mo better!

[@RADGarage]

Thanks Scott. I aim to produce quality content so it always makes me feel good to know people see that in my work.

[@MTobin1000]

Absolutely loved this one. One-half hour of exceptional cinematography. The music and the sound effects (the keystroke clicks come to mind) remind me of the Harrison Ford movie "Blade Runner". What is so impressive is when you're cleaning a part of the interior the camera (on its own) zooms in slowly to make the shot even more interesting. I like how you displayed each of the Adam products so we can see exactly what you're doing in the next clip. Rick you're Audi looks like a brand new vehicle, hot off the showroom floor, every time you detail her. You do such quality work. Another amazing video Rick...well done !!! (Mike in Ohio)

[@RADGarage]

Thanks Mike. As we have discussed in the past, the process of returning it to showroom condition is cathartic and it helps me feel like I have a sense of control in a topsy turvy world! I will continue to experiment with video titles. I have a new process but need to dial in the design elements now.

[@spiriofmanu]

Définition of PASSION ! Thanks for your job

[@RADGarage]

I definitely like a clean car! Thanks for taking time to comment. All the best. 🙏

[@naddy37]

There is nothing like waking up here in the UK on a Sunday morning to find a notification about a new video. Sunday morning, snuggled under the duvet, cup of tea, and watching the latest RAD video. No words again, just awesome!!! 😍Oh, I’ve just yesterday placed an order for the Adams Tyre & Wheel cleaner. Not used it before, but seeing the great results here, had to give it a try x

[@RADGarage]

Nadine Osborne I’m glad my work continues to give you the warm fuzzies! You’ll enjoy working with the Wheel & Tire (Tyre) Cleaner. Or, I’ll give you your money back! Have a great week, Nadine.

[@fiddycaliber947]

Production value is really high in your videos man, awesome work, also, what a mighty beard!

[@RADGarage]

Scott Munning Thanks. It’s about time my beard receives the credit it deserves.

[@rickm.10]

Rick, as mentioned in another comment, it would be nice to have a tutorial like video (or a few) from you. You are such a thorough guy, and it shows in your passion for detailing cars. Also, just another idea, maybe a vlog-ish type of video would break things up a bit. Maybe bring us along to a cars and coffee meet if you happen to go sometime. I know there are quite a few nice cars in YYC 😊

[@RADGarage]

Rick M. Great suggestions. I want to expand my content in the worst way. At the moment, the only “free time” I’m able to find is spent on my garage but come Spring/Summer I’ll be upping my game.

[@Normster32]

Great video as always, Thank you and keep it up , very appreciated! Ps Love the new transitions and cut scenes !

[@RADGarage]

Thanks for the kind words. I have been enjoying playing around with the titles and cut scenes. Not sure I love the typewriter sounds though. Working on a "Stress Relief" video project right now.

[@diamondmit]

I can’t believe I just watched that video. And it was really good. And I was interested enough to watch till the end. I clean my cars the same way, with the same care and attention,and until I saw this, didn’t realize that others did too. Great video - thanks.

[@RADGarage]

Dude, there's so many more! It's nice to connect with other people who have a passion for keeping their rides tidy.

[@thereal_sebastiankoenig]

This clip is nothing short of ART. Beautiful shots, epic scenery...you did great, man!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@RADGarage]

Sebastian König Thanks Sebastian! Capturing the art and beauty of detailing is something I’m always trying to achieve so I am glad you appreciate my approach. There’s lots of “how to” videos out there so I do bring something a bit different.

Wonderful as always Rick. Glad to see you joined the Mosmatic club. It's a serious game changer.

[@RADGarage]

Ha. Yes, I love that Mosmatic trigger and wand. I've had them for almost two years now but they don't often find their way into my videos. It's hard to conduct filming during that stage as water is obviously been blown all over the garage!

[@Codriver72]

Another beautiful video. And, as I have mensioned before, the winter washes are so satisfying. My old Saab is sitting in the garage after a good wash yesterday morning. I went out and applied some gloss last night too. I know the car will be dirty in the snowy slush coming week but it does not matter. I love the process and the result. Also to be able to have the cleanest car around when most people drive around in cars tgat has not been washed all winter. Your work with the car and the videos are nothing short of fantastic.

I have a method of entering/exiting that looks awkward to onlookers, but helps preserve the lower side bolsters! I wouldn't let it stress you too much. Leather is going to crease.

[@cncmanufacturingptyltd5189]

Great video I've noticed you use a soft rinse after the washing stage why is that compared to using the pressure washer to remove the soap?

[@RADGarage]

After the contact wash, all that is really necessary is to get the soap off the car and that is achieved most effectively with a quick "soft" rinse. The pressurized rinse I do after the foaming stage gets the soap into all the tight crevices and gaps, so no sense in wearing out the pressure washer when it really isn't necessary. Thanks for the question.

[@rmtile7126]

Love the garage that’s my dream garage two questions for you when you spray does everything get wet and how does the water drain out?

[@RADGarage]

I have good aim and the water mostly evaporates inside the garage or gently flows out to the driveway where it evaporates or drains through a gap between the garage floor and the driveway.

[@Mr.SparkleOG]

Im a bit miffed as KZbin did not send me a notification for this nor did it post on my feed until 28 minutes after you nearly finished the wash process. What the french toast youtube

I am really hoping I can do a winter wash video over my holidays. It is in dire need of a wash inside and out. The SQ5 is an amazing vehicle. I have considered taking a look at the new SQ5 but need it to be a bit more updated to justify the move. Take care!

Hi rick. I'm also an ice hockey fan. My team is ERC Ingolstadt from the 1st German Ice Hockey League. I can still remember the 2004 Salary Cap. Some NHL stars played in Ingolstadt. Marco Sturm, Andy Mc Donald, Jamie Langenbrunner. Oh my God. And I'm a fan of the Oilers 🙈... Sorry. Many greetings from Ingolstadt.

[@RADGarage]

A German Oilers fan?!? How is that even possible? LOL Thanks for reaching out. I remember all of those hockey players. Jamie Langenbrunner was one of my all-time favorite NHL'ers.

[@ClausUibel]

RAD GARAGE Hi Rick. Fan of the Oilers even before Leon😂

[@RADGarage]

I have enjoyed being a part of the "Battle of Alberta" going way back to the early 80's! Probably the best rivalry in North American sports if you ask me!

[@chasbro6491]

What hose spray nozzle do you use? Tired of the cheap Home Depot/Lowes crap. Love your videos! So relaxing to watch and the music is awesome. Keep them coming.

[@RADGarage]

Charles Saito Thanks man. I need relaxing videos to watch in light of all the drama these days. That is actually a generic garden hose nozzle I picked up at Canadian Tire. It’s by a company called Yardworks and it is pretty awesome.

[@grogfisher]

Has the CarPro Wash Mitt been your Mitt of choice for awhile? Wondering about how you maintain it as it always appears in superb shape in your videos.. Thanks.

[@RADGarage]

grogfisher I have been using that mitt for years now and not a single complaint. I rinse it well, shake it and hang to dry.

[@mikenice1204]

what kind of brush are you using on the leather seats? nice sq5! i have a 2014. im surprised you dont have a flat bottom steering wheel. great video!!

[@RADGarage]

That brush is called a super soft detailing brush and it is branded by all kinds of companies. Mine is a "no name". Adam's has one on their website. The flat-bottom wheel wasn't available in Canada since all Canadian SQ5's are spec'd with the heated wheel which is round. I wish I had a heated flat-bottom but they don't make them afaik.

[@carea2007it]

Great editing and vid man keep up ! Ive got a question for you where the water goes ? do you recycle it ?

[@RADGarage]

It pools on the floor then flows out the door. There's a gap between the garage floor and the driveway that acts as a poor man's drainage system.

[@plyallstar]

Excellent Video, beautiful car and garage. Question...Wouldn't applying ceramic boost on top of detail spray negate it's bonding affect? Are you using it exclusively for shine/gloss? Not sure if it would provide any real "protection" if your applying it on top of detail spray....

[@RADGarage]

I used Detail Spray only on the areas that weren't accessible with my wash mitt. Door jambs mostly. I used Ceramic Boost for all exterior surfaces. Thanks for the question and the compliments!

[@DjDrop1dannysfilms]

Question: do you get overspray water or soap from cannon on your walls . Thinking of detailing in my garage

[@RADGarage]

Great question. The way I have my garage storage items arranged, overspray on the walls is not an issue. Over the past 10 years I have perfected my angles as well to ensure the water and soap doesn't end up going everywhere. It is a perfect example of trial and error over the years. Anything is possible if you want it bad enough! 🤘

[@pbpinftworth]

Just subscribed and I'm curious what power washer/sprayer you use? You don't have it listed in your equipment.

[@RADGarage]

It's a typical electric pressure washer you get at your local big box store. It's a rebranded AR Clean model (AR390SS). The one I have is from Lowe's so they carry it under their Kobalt brand name. It's decent but the hose is terrible. I'll be upgrading at some point.

[@kai_291]

You really delivered again in this one Rick excellent job. Are you using Adams products exclusively now? I always liked to see you using Jay lenos products

[@RADGarage]

Kai -291 I used all Adam’s products on this one. I have a few non-Adam’s products kicking around, but I just love my Adam’s. The website is great and my local detailing supplies company always has a great stock of it. Win. Win.

[@mz8210]

Hey man...Nice !! I like those mat clips (or whatever they're called)...Do you have a link where to buy them ?

[@RADGarage]

M Z I’ll see what I can dig up. I got them online about nine years ago.

[@26jobbe]

Nice video Rick 😀😀😀, after you use Adams interior cleaner, do you use any interior dressing?????? 😁 😁 😁

[@RADGarage]

Johnny Petersen Dude! I showed an image of the Adam’s Interior Dressing I used to finish the leather. Beautiful satin look. Give it a shot. .

[@rsxfreak79]

Love the attention to detail you give in all your washes. I am not sure if you're sponsored by Adam's or not but I'd love to see some videos of you using some Wowo's products from The Rag Company.

[@RADGarage]

rsxfreak79 I am not sponsored but I am hoping that happens at some point. I use their products almost exclusively and I enjoy using each and every one. I don’t have any immediate plans to expand my product Arsenal at the moment however I recognize the fact that there are many quality products from many reputable brands out there.

[@eliffile9609]

Nice video 👍

[@RADGarage]

Thanks for the visit

[@coreyohara4381]

Just wondering what product you use to clean the alcantara door panels?

[@RADGarage]

Corey O'Hara I lightly brush it with a spritz of leather and interior clean by Adam’s. .

[@mz8210]

Thx

[@RADGarage]

Any time

[@caleballen9723]

No pump sprayer/drill brush/carpet extractor for the carpets?

[@RADGarage]

I have all that stuff, but none of that is necessary since my carpets are in very decent shape. When I come across a challenging project, I pull out all the big guns!

[@cyb3rdecker]

Where do you buy your carpet brushes? like would CandianTire have them?

[@RADGarage]

Carzilla stocks an incredibly immense array of brushes. Check them out online at carzilla.ca and use "RADGARAGE" to save a buck or two. carzilla.ca/search?q=utility+brush
