Says "Store Unavailable"...

[@Hmschlabach]

Can’t figure out how to purchase the drying towel. Amazon says unavailable and this link doesn’t work?

[@shonbernhart7707]

@Gjeebs Do you recommend another towel? This one is unavailable on the store and at Amazon.

[@rickpom1]

Love your video's Gjeebs but a couple things on the wash video that as pro detailer, I can't let be. Not a criticism because much of what you've presented is very good for a weekend warrior's maintenance wash - but just a few tweaks. Based what you've already done to your car (PPF, some variant of Ceramic on the surfaces and regular cleaning maintenance) I think we can agree that the basic premise that "proper care" is Clean, correct and Protect (If you have PPF and Ceramic, your installer did the "correct and protect" stages for you) If you've gone as far as you did with the products and materials used, i would suggest the following in your cleaning / wash process: Pick up a hose based foam gun or foam cannon for your pressure washer. This will help with added lubricity with your contact wash. Also, pick up another bucket for rinsing your wash media (pad) between panel's as you wash. Grit guards in the bottom of each bucket and employee the Two bucket wash method. There are tons of videos on KZbin if you want to learn more on the Two bucket method as its a "must do" to keep your painted surfaces safe when washing. Also, wash your car from the top down, not front to back like you did in your video. Lastly, grab one more wash mitt and use the new mitt for the top half of your car and demote the old one to the lower half of the car. This will limit the amount of cross contamination from the usually cleaner top of the car to the really dirty parts of the car on the lower half the dirt will hold into the Mitt and you risk scratching if its not rinsed properly. Again, hoping to add value to your process for those serious about the car of their paint and I look forward to more shared Gjeebs content for our Teslas! Enjoy

[@suffernodelusions]

Enjoyed this video! If the white seats are that easy to clean, you may have just converted me. Not driving a ton yet since I’ve been wfh - but will be ordering a MY at some point this year and I’ve been teetering on the white seats (as I don’t want to spend a ton of time cleaning them - but that looked pretty simple)

[@kimstockdale632]

I went back and forth too between the white and black interior up until the final hour of placing my order for a Y. I went with the white, and after 4 months have no regrets. Yes, they will highlight dirt more, and thus far have been ez to clean with just water and cloth, but now I want to try what was recommended in this video. If I had gone with the black, I would feel I cheaped out with my white exterior. I take that back, the only regret with the white interior is I think it makes the car look more inviting to break-ins when parked in public, like it's a luxury interior that must have luxury items inside.

[@tonyparisio4021]

Impressive! You knowledge of car cleaning is very good. Your detailed instruction are spot on. Great video. Thanks.

[@smashby]

Do you recommend using Rewind each time to applying Recharge?

[@TeslaHo]

Great video as always jeebs. One thing I always forget to do is spray in between where the powered windows meets the door. One of my viewers mentioned that he had a small hard rock/dust in between there and powering down the window was not a good idea 😑

[@FreedomfoVietNam]

Do you press the wash mode before starting the car wash, correct? and do you press any buttons after you finish the car wash? Thanks

Just purchased a preowned Tesla and enjoyed your video. I wanted to make sure no water would damage the batteries for any reason. May sound silly cause rain obviously but my first EV and excited and nervous at the same times. Also noticed you said you are in Arizona, I am in Texas and also very hot anything I should be worried about. I hear people talk about battery less effective in summer and fires and this all just scares me. Any advice/ tips would be appreciated.

I am too short to reach most of the glass roof. What are your recommendations? Also my Y is the only car I've ever owned where I can't lift the wiper arms up to clean under them.

[@Gjeebs]

Get a step ladder from Costco and that will help also in your menu under service (I think) there is windshield cleaner mode and they pop up

[@martinmorissette7950]

You should try the NO RINSE product. Uses less water and super protects the paint.

Hello at your suggestion I got the interior cleaner for my new black leather seats for my model 3. The interior cleaner appears to have discolored the seats. Making them lighter than the sections not cleaned with the product. Is there an explanation for this? I feel like I got screwed using this product.

[@Gjeebs]

I've use this on black interiors many times and this has never happened. Have you reached out to hydrosilex about this with pictures and everything? I just use it to clean my interior yesterday and it looks incredible

Do you feel like you could use the Kirkland towels to fry your car? I just bought a package and would love your opinion! Thank you

I think you could but it would be a lot more efficient to use the drying towel I recommend. You can use the Kirklands but you would probably use several. They key, regardless of what you do is to clean and maintain your microfibers

I see that you have a powerwasher for car, but you said you don't always use it. I just got a new M3P and have all the chemicals and tools (mostly ones you recommend) but i didn't get a power washer... do I need it? Does it help minimize scratches? BTW, i will soon have full car PPF and ceramic coating.

how does the paint protection film work? how expensive is it and does it have to be applied by a professional?

[@Gjeebs]

Paint protection film. Yes it needs to be installed by a professional and it is fairly expensive

[@urquattro83]

How about adding a list of the specific names of all products to which you refer? I looked for "GT Shine Twist Pal" but found no results. It'd be helpful if you listed the specific name of each product, so no one has to count on interpreting what they may have heard, thanks!

[@WehrlybirdProductionsWF]

Do I need to use the surface prep and recharge ceramic spray before using the soap or will the ceramic soap work without doing that?

[@Gjeebs]

You can use the soap on its own without either of the sprays. If you use the sprays, the soap helps maintain the longevity of them

[@WehrlybirdProductionsWF]

@@Gjeebs thank you so much, I honestly think my car came with a ceramic coating from the factory, but I might be wrong. I just wanted to be sure if it was a wax coating, that I would get the same benefit from the ceramic soap without having to strip the factory wax.

Hi Gjeebs. We just did a little get-a-way to Scottsdale from Albuquerque. The front of our white Y was almost red from dead bugs when we got home. It was really hard to clean it up. We’re also driving out to California in a few months. Do you, or anyone else know about anything we can put on the front? Anything we could peel off when we get home? Thanks.

[@Gjeebs]

Just got my white interior Y. How do you clean the dash and console?

[@Gjeebs]

The interior cleaner in this video can be used on the dash and center console as well. I will say though for the dash you can usually just wipe it once a month with a Microfiber towel just to remove the dust. No need to really spray it.

[@xarashh]

jeebssss no foam cannon?!?!! give the people some foam!

[@kabish0603]

It should be a cardinal sin to not use a foam cannon if you own a pressure washer. Buy some good foam soap, buy a good foam cannon, and with your ceramic coating you won't even have to touch your car with a sponge. Spray it down let it sit for a few minutes rinse then dry, cuts the time in half. Also, on a side note. Should always move the sponge in one direction, so like from windshield to bumper or fender to fender. "Scrubbing" with the sponge can cause the swirls you are trying to avoid just incase a containment got on there. You are less likely to see a straight micro scratch over circular ones.
