Literally just got my car wrapped a week or two ago, been looking for some decent videos on how to maintain wrapped cars (satin finishes) and this helped. I have been a bit skeptical in using chemical guys stuff but if you're using em, guess they can't be as bad as some people say. Am looking for something like a quick detailer for inbetween washes and removing light dust off the car.

[@rakin785]

Who thinks he sounds like the guy from Art Attack 😂 nice videos though mate

[@cliftonsargent1572]

Not trying to insult or make fun of you, but all I keep thinking listening to you are the vultures from Disney's "The Jungle Book". Honestly your vid was MOST INFORMATIVE, thank you.😊😊😊 I have a modest car collection that is either vinyl wrapped or PPF, I will use your recommendations for both.

[@danielz7176]

Enjoy watching all of your videos Any trips to the US soon Thanks

[@carguyuk3613]

Great video and advice. I definitely don't want to wrap my car as the washing is far too painful and that their is a real risk of damage.

[@5084204]

Great video as usual! I just wonder whether that vehicle owner keeps his TV remote in a plastic bag... The whole idea of wrapping the car in foil sounds a bit weird to me.

[@boilerhousegarage]

I keep my remote in a clear plastic bag to avoid dirt/germs, but I'd never vinyl wrap my car. It seems odd to me too!

[@5084204]

:-) Honestly, it is easier and cleaner, to periodically clean the remote (using antimicrobial Clinell wipes, for example), than to keep it inside the foil, where almost unlimited bacterial growth is "protected" by the foil.

[@idi0tdetectioninprogress]

Quicker and cheaper colour change. Makes vehicles a `one off` without major pain of spray paint. Protects the original paintwork when it comes to resale.

[@dorkultra]

i wonder if one of those silicone dish scrubbers would work or if it would be too aggressive. maybe good for bugs

[@noseaschafo78]

What you recomendó to protect the paint of a new car, i bought a corolla a week ago and i don’t know how to protect it dron the acids of my job

[@keithlestrange4249]

Its a wrap Love it guru !

[@Daydreaminginmono]

So clean it showed how dirty my monitor is, ha.

[@WIPEYOURLENZ]

The best way I’ve found to rinse a car without a pressure washer is to use a hose only no attachments and let the water sheet you will have less water to remove.

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Open-ending works best on polished and protected surfaces, plus I actually wanted something to soak up here with the towel so didn't bother.

[@fesy734]

Another top video sir. Would applying a coat of “auto finesse aqua coat” be beneficial? Because it doesn’t add any shine/gloss, just a hydrophobic layer on top.

[@CarCleaningGuru]

The owner had been given some CarPro Reload to maintain it with so as long as it's not left to dry on the surface, Aqua Coat should be fine.

[@DOVADED]

So would a gloss wrap require attention more like clear coat or a matte wrap? This video was quite helpful as I'm looking to wrap my 350z in the future.

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Gloss wraps are a nightmare from a detailing perspective. Unless you like the orange peel effect, swirls and marring, go satin.

[@jondalgas7201]

LOVE your videos! How do you clean your microfibertowels and wash mits?

[@pixels2polygonss]

Is there a iron remover or even a bug and tar remove that’s safe for matte/satin finishes ?

[@jayteaishere2200]

Helpful video Guru

[@timorgano]

Very cool for a wrap. I'm assuming the same would be said for satin/matte PPF, but would it differ much for gloss PPF?

[@atalayo3o0o]

Why not using airblower for water repelling instead of wiping off? I find air blowing so easy and not agitating the matt finish. Yes, the water should be clean as possible.

[@DilanHamawandy]

Do you use your own water or the customers water when detailing cars? Thank you in advance for your response

[@jblack8149]

Great vid. Say “sponge again”😂😂

[@apachebass8867]

[@DazTheMe]

The deeper blue on your C30 makes the GTR color looked so washed out. I actually prefer the look of the volvo compared to this GTR, although it all comes down to personal preference of course!

[@bendoyle5023]

Good job mate. Do you have to check the customer has a water supply before carrying out a job? Thankyou.

[@earnestbunbury2103]

If you can't afford water, you can't afford the guru...

[@geo752]

Are you saying not to use regular car shampoo for this job , and if not why ? Good work as usual 👍

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Just don't anything that contains wax.

[@martinjenkins4387]

Look nice cool

[@attwarren]

Is the jet seal matte different then the regular sealant as the regular sealant requires ten-twenty minutes to bond to the surface?

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Different but needs the same amount of time before buffing.

[@steffydog]

[@zodiacscrix8700]

Great video at cleaning the gtr but how do you clean your used clothes, mits ect?

[@CarCleaningGuru]

In a washing machine.

[@zodiacscrix8700]

Car Cleaning Guru do you use any liquid or anything as I read that powder could get caught within the cloths

[@infinityphotorob]

I am wrapping my camper van and am debating on what finish to get. I am thinking I like satin but I do not want to overcomplicate washing it as it is already a pain in the ass. Is a brush out of the question for satin finish? Or should I go with a gloss or texture?

[@CarCleaningGuru]

Satin is the best from a detailing perspective IMO. Not as grabby as matte and doesn’t swirl and show orange peel like gloss. Soft brush would be ok. Main point of this video was working around edges which would be the same with any finish.

[@infinityphotorob]

@@CarCleaningGuru Thank you ! Yes this was very educational as any wrap will have delicate edges.

[@zillandrian2329]

[@Audittr2108]

[@IrishHitman79]

ceramic coating is it worth getting done... IE does it work?

[@CarCleaningGuru]

If it's done properly it does. I personally wouldn't bother coating a wrapped car though.

[@IrishHitman79]

I will get it done so. Thank's for the reply, excellent info in the vids as always.

[@Quizitix]

My car is wrapped in 3m's matte military green. Tried that jet seal matte by chemical guys and the product dried within seconds of applying (not a very hot/humid day) left horrible streaks and blotch marks which thankfully I managed to get off with several different cleaners. Any ideas? Luckily only tried on the underside so no damage done

[@kl2586]

hey, i just got my car wrapped in the same back in November. I thought I'd get the jet seal matte to maintain the surface over time, however i'm reading a number of reports from folks indicating the same experience as yours. Do you have any updates / follow ups for the jet sealant?? thanks!

[@Quizitix]

@@kl2586 I ended up using every chemical under the sun to get rid of it so it's not coated with anything now but just wash it weekly to keep on top of it. Tbh a wrap doesn't need much attention at all, had a satin black wrap previously for 5 years and the colour stayed fine from barely any maintenance

[@kl2586]

@@Quizitix did one of those chemicals you tried include the chemical guys meticulous matte detailer spray sealant? it seems like in all of their videos they apply the jet sealant matte, let it sit, then wipe off with the meticulous spray sealant. also, how long did you leave the jet sealant on before you tried to wipe off?? thanks!

[@Quizitix]

@@kl2586 yeah I tried that in a pair, just doesn't seem to work with the matte green I imagine? Give it a go in an obscure spot I suppose and see what happens. I've still got both products in the garage and plan to try again but too scared aha

[@kl2586]

@@Quizitix that worries me. when you tried the jetseal with the meticulous matte detail spray, how long did you leave the jetseal on for??

[@hakman239]

Those sponges are safer then mitts

[@WhiteEagleTube]

Thought you put too much blue coloured foam on the car staining it from white to blue 😆

[@MrFuzzwuzzle]

I always wanted to know, whats some of your biggest cockups? Like have you stepped back from a job and realised you've used the wrong sort of soap and damaged paint work? I assume you have some kind of insurance policy that would take care of very expensive paint jobs?

[@mike.135i]

why is the liscence plate yellow in the rear and white on the front? the yellow plate looks quite ugly on the GTR

[@qthesensai]

Mike H that's the setup for all cars in the UK

[@mike.135i]

but why are they diffetent colours?

[@qthesensai]

I'm guessing it has something to do with visibility, they've been doing it since the 60s or 70s

[@---DW---]

As the plates are reflective, having a white plate at the rear will reflect a white light when driving at night, and in the UK it is illegal to show a white light at the rear of your vehicle, so the rear plate must be yellow by law

[@boilerhousegarage]

FYI our black and silver classic car number plates, that were permitted on pre-1973 cars (that git Gordon Brown put a stop to classic tax exemption 1998) are now allowed on the new rolling classic tax exemption, so 41 year old tax-free cars may display them, despite them actually being out of fashion in the early 70s anyway.
