I absolutely love your videos! You guys make a great team! Nick is awesome as he’s honest and truly represents both the everyday Joe and the professional, while Yvan is there to show how effective and convenient it is to be methodical. It’s just fantastic! There is so much to learn from both of you. I find myself appreciating your video as many questions people might be afraid to ask are answered in them.

[@diydetailofficial]

Thanks so much!!

You know after 1,000+ interior details I’m not a big fan of interior detailing anymore 😂 but I always enjoy how it looks when it’s done

[@theunkownmr.562]

Yep, I don't enjoy interior detailing, but i do enjoy exterior detailing.

[@davidb5220]

@@theunkownmr.562 same here, yes interiors make a lot of money annually but they are very time consuming

[@theunkownmr.562]

@@davidb5220 I agree. A freshly cleaned interior doesn't hit like a freshly paint corrected and coated exterior. People don't see the inside when you're driving by.

[@davidb5220]

@@theunkownmr.562 definitely, but unfortunately people rather have the inside of there car cleaned compared to the outside, but from a detailers point of view I love a exterior that’s on point, but I also admire someone who keeps there interior clean it’s always impressive when you do a clients car and you open up the inside and it looks great. Plus you know you aren’t going to be asked to do the inside as well 😂

I don't like interiors, but I LOVE the finished detailed interior. So satisfying.

[@diydetailofficial]

It’s so satisfying to transform a dirty interior

[@DizConnected]

I keep clicking on this like it's going to go ahead and play before tomorrow's release. I would have to say interior detailing is my weakness, the one thing I do know is DIY Rinse-Less Wash can be used on everything safely. I have DIY Interior clean and protect that came as part of a kit, I love the DIY kits, but have not used it yet.

[@diydetailofficial]

Both work great

[@CelticInteriorShine]

Fur eel pro 2 is a great vacuum attachment for anything stuck in the fabric.

[@diydetailofficial]

Agreed

[@CelticInteriorShine]

I love using Interior clean and protect as a good pre vacuum spray

[@diydetailofficial]

Good to know!

[@CelticInteriorShine]

@@diydetailofficial even rinseless wash is great, just a light mist, dwell and boom everything comes up so much easier

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@gorillanismo]

Got to love Yvan...his look when nick sprayed the mat 100 times with all clean and says: "you only need 5 sprays for the whole mat" 🤣 Then again: "paddle shifters on a CVT" ....HAHAHA my man Yvan...

[@diydetailofficial]

Exactly!

[@macfamily5693]

Love interior cleaning videos. Detailing and quick wipe downs.

[@diydetailofficial]

Glad you like them!

[@Nyx_N_Knull]

It’s so painfully evident how much Nick annoys Yvan. So much repeating what he just said , while he does the opposite. Yvan, you’re the man, love all the content and your products.

[@Nyx_N_Knull]

This makes me want to go to spray town. You’ll be driving it out then, and you just got product on the console. 😂 ded

[@diydetailofficial]

[@iam1smiley1]

Want it looking pro? Use lots of air compressor!!! Seat folds, vents, between seats, everything pretty much.

[@diydetailofficial]

Air compressors are amazing for interior detailing

[@jonwinship9099]

My biggest takeaway from watching this video is how much I dislike Jeeps.

[@diydetailofficial]

lol agreed

[@thiquelee]

I've never thought to use my Polisher on seats or interior clean protect on carpets for dog fur... I might have missed you saying it but you used wool on the fabric seats - can you still do this with leather or should be avoided?

[@diydetailofficial]

It’s great on leather

[@annadori9508]

it would be cool to add Ivan's POV footage to your videos, and mix the side shot with that footage

[@diydetailofficial]

Good idea

Is a gear driven Flex cordless useful for upholstery cleaning? Would you clean that pad and use it to polish paint again, or is it forever an interior pad now?

[@diydetailofficial]

It would work, yes clean the pad and return it to service on paint

[@mayo8472]

Listen, don’t piss me off. It’s just a quick vac and that’s the way it is because I said so.😂😂😂😂

Do whatever works for you 👍

Question. Is the XXL towel that comes with you exterior kit a drying towel. I sent that kit out to my son so I can do his car when I visit him so I am trying to determine what I might need to jam into my luggage. If that towel is a drying towel one thing less I need to carry. Thanks!

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes, it’s a drying towel

[@Ericstraordinary]

Is DIY Detail Interior Clean and Protect safe for a car Interior's wood trim?

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes

[@Burtannia]

Can the polisher method be used on leather and carpets too? Does it matter if it's a DA or rotary? How does wool compare to microfibre pads for using a polisher on the interior?

[@diydetailofficial]

DA is best on wool, rotary on fabric

[@Burtannia]

How does the polisher method compare to the drill brush?

[@diydetailofficial]

Easier, less mess.

[@GoTMLGo1967]

41:40 Could any pad work for the interior? It doesn’t have to be wool? And could you spray rinseless wash as opposed to interior clean and protect as show in the video?

[@diydetailofficial]

Wool or microfibre

[@gorillanismo]

So even that Interior Clean & Protect is a milky substance it doesnt hasve restoring or dressing properties?

[@diydetailofficial]

Correct

I notice you guys are using nicks favorite towel for the whole inside vs just windows….interesting. I was using 1500 eagle for dash and seats.

Yvan would you sand the scratch or scuff on vinyl then go over it with a TRIM Restorer?

[@diydetailofficial]

No, I wouldn’t sand

@@diydetailofficial how would you get rid of scratch marks on plastics!

[@diydetailofficial]

Learn to live with them, or replace the part.

[@MikeCanuck]

Nick mentions using a steamer several time. Do you have a video where you use a steamer on the interior? It kind of goes against Yvan's rule of adding as little moisture as possible. I would like to see how Yvan makes use of a steamer if possible.

[@diydetailofficial]

We don’t have any videos with a steamer yet

[@elonsus9747]

Interior clean and protect is my favorite. Love the smell and ease of use.

What minimum size air compressor would you guy recommend? Thanks 😊

[@iam1smiley1]

The bigger the better in my opinion 😊 I'd love a screw compressor ❤

[@diydetailofficial]

No maximum, but a minimum would be at least 8cfm at 90 psi. The bigger the tank the better

[@gorillanismo]

After 8 years detailing as a weekend warrior, I still cant get perfect glass. I have tried glass cleaner, water, alcohol, water/vinegar mix, rinseless wash and also waffle weave, pearl, old costco towels and nothing, glass still streaky or smudgy. Somebody mentioned me to use a magic eraser but I dont want to scratch tint film

[@zenon3021]

I'll give you two ways to do it: 1) use 2 Rag Company Gauntlet towels & a spritz bottle o' water. Spray window, wipe with slightly wet microfiber followed by a dry microfiber 2) steam-clean the window and wipe with rag company gauntlet microfiber towel Either way will do the job without streaking

[@gorillanismo]

@@zenon3021 will try it this weekend for sure

[@diydetailofficial]

It’s not good on tint. Next time you clean glass, use an almost dry , damp towel, and once it’s almost air dried, wipe with a dry towel

[@gorillanismo]

Honest question: to me blowing interiors sounds like a waste of time, you are basically moving the dirt around for vacuum it later, so, Why blow the dirt? There is probably a benefit is just cant wrap my mind around it

[@petergomez2091]

I believe it's simply to loosen up dirt so it's easier to vacuum.

[@diydetailofficial]

It gets dirt and dust out of areas you can’t get to easily

[@unodetailing]

Not dirty. I can show you what is a filthy vehicle. That jeep is a piece of cake. 😂

In previous videos, you talked about using dual action with a microfiber pad to clean leather upholstery, and rotation with fur for fabric upholstery. In turn, in this video you use fur for dual action. How does this relate to earlier films?
