How To Wash A Car WITHOUT Scratching | Car Wash Secrets

Do all the other things please: oil changes, filter changes, differential and the rest of the driveline fluid. You don’t have to learn it all but knowing things need maintenance will keep you going and knowing a little bit will prevent a mechanic from ripping you off.

Good luck kid. The most important thing is make sure u get oil changes regularly. Get full synthetic, not partially synthetic.

I just purchased my first newish car, and all of a sudden im interesting in proper ways to wash my car without leaving swirl marks lol thanks for the video.

[@AyySorento]

I like the two-wash mitt method. One mitt for the top of the car and one wash mitt for the bottom portions. I also like spraying with a foam cannon a second time (after pre-wash) to lather the car and use a soap bucket. Guaranteed lubrication and requires a bit less scrubbing which your body may thank you for later.

[@gmans7859]

Yes, second Foam down before contact wash. Lol, helps to keeps Suppliers in biz because we using just that much more Soap. :)

[@richscott2483]

Two mitts, one mitt to place on the car, the other is for washing with your dominant hand. Leaves no hand prints.

[@kallouttv5233]

Made so many mistakes washing my last car as I have learned watching your videos over the past few days. Just got a new 2021 and will be applying new knowledge. Just need to get my hands on a foam cannon.

[@chevron32]

Finally someone brought up the touchless wash. A lot of people overlook this process especially if you have no time or live in an apartment. I find this method safer and time saver if hand washing isn’t available. even then, you could still scratch your paint doing handwash if it’s not done properly. My way of washing touchless wash and hopefully some will find this helpful. Although people will say that touchless wash removes waxes which is TRUE only if you use the heavy soap in their system. Key is: use presoak, rinse, air dry only. This works very well for me. Now it’s not as clean but I found a way of doing a next step by using a waterless wash for the final wipe down to remove all the dirt residues etc. Since the dirt etc. have been loosen up. It didn’t scratch my paint whatsoever as long as it’s done properly. This process takes me only 30 minutes. My car is daily driven, parks outside 24/7 so I wash it weekly. Hope this helps people out there who live in an apartment and don’t have a lot of time washing their car. Thanks Jason for bringing up this another method to enlighten people out there when hand washing isn’t available.

[@MR0birdman]

Maaan, I'm really learning something new every time I watch one of your videos, now I need to get one more bucket, 1 wash and 1 rinse.

[@scuderia747bhp]

Thank you for the great vid extremely helpful! Here is my solution, I to live in Chicago and it’s extremely harsh as I’m sure you know, to keep cars clean and especially black ones is next to impossible. Couple years ago I’ve made it my mission to try every product out there possible and test it on each of my cars trying to find best protection taking in to a count cost for the detailer every month and paint correction after winter.... After couple years of testing I think that I found my perfect combo worry free and always looking mega clean! What I did with my current daily (S63 Black) is took her straight from the dealer with zero to none damage to my detailer, wrap the entire car in clear self healing film and Ceramic coat it! Bingo!!! Yes yes most would say that’s expensive and yes it is cost me 3 grand up front but keep in mind $0 dollars to my detailer for 3 years for maintenance cleaning, $0 dollars for products and In the pinch I literally fly in self service bay grab that nasty brush (if needed not always) clean up the mess and once sun hits it wrap heals it’s self and car looks brand spanking new. Not a single swirl mark or anything ever....that’s my solution and it’s working 100%.

[@steve2184]

That’s the key I was told if want to get ceramic or the bra it’s best to do it first thing when you buy your new vehicle and not wait because if you wait the Detailer can’t always make your car look 100 percent

[@corpuzone]

Nice tutorial, but last time I’m owning a black car. No matter what one does, scratches and anything can be seen easily. I need to wash my black car but this is nice to see on my algorithm lol. You guys are definitely meticulous and pros excellent job!

[@roysyntageros4191]

For first rinse I prefer Car Cleaning Guru's method of first up snow foaming the car to emulsify the dirt and add lubrication to the paint work for dirt to slide off on.

[@nicksdragon6929]

Griots and AMMO also recommend using foam on a dry surface and numerous that I respect rinse first. I understand why the thought that washing off the large debree first, seems to make sense but when Griots at a show in San Diego years ago and in their written materials explained that to move dirt with the high pressure sprayer may also scratch paint. Softening up or preparing the dry surface with an APC and Snow foam first offers a high degree of safety. Jason has always provided excellent advice, so I have decided our methods are simply preferences. 👍

[@MrUpsidedowngaming]

Our local touchless has a undercarriage pressure washer system that spans the entire width of the bay. This being a salt rich environment in the winter, there tends to be long lines to keep the rust at bay!

[@archiepezek]

I don't like dragging my pressure washer out to use on my car, so I bought the foam cannon from Chemical Guys that has the attachment for a normal garden hose. It doesn't give the real thick foam that a pressure washer does, but it still does the trick. Thanks for the great video!

[@JadeaRS4]

It is terrible. Bought that same thing and bought a foam cannon the next day. Gave the chemical guys one for the garden hose away

Excellent as always. I have gravitated over time to the one side of one mitt per panel for my cars at home but the two bucket method for the cars I do during the week.

[@JohnD15317]

I actually use 5-6 wash pads, one for hood/windshield/roof, one for front grill/bumper, another for trunk/tailgate/bumper, then one for each for passenger and drivers side. Costs a bit more, but i feel more confident washing this way as opposed to just one mitt and 2 buckets. Thank you for the vid.

[@richscott2483]

You will need 10 to 12 buckets. One for suds/soap and the other for rinse. A lot of mitts require a lot more buckets. Time to get your kids out there for practice, while washing and cleaning have them soak and rinse, then bring you the clean mitts.

[@gretasandstone357]

I recently discovered your channel and your quickly becoming my favorite detailing channel!!! I'm a diy weekend warrior and looking to learn more to up my game. Many channels push products to make money. Im a minimalist and hate needing so much equipment and different products, cleaners, supplies, ect ... Too easy to fall into a rabbit hole always looking for the next best thing. I plea with you to come out with more beginner simplistic videos that you give advice on what minimal equipment and specific methods and supplies you need to improve car detailing 90% better than the average person. I'm trying to create a car care routine that I can implement and use on a regular basis without constantly seeking out new improved methods and products. I'm looking for a tried and true simple quick and effective routine I can use for years to come. I really like the idea of doing a monthly maintenance wash, starting with a wash using a traffic film remover or best method to strip old wax/grease/film, followed by drying (not sure if towel vs leaf blower is faster as I'd prefer using just one method), followed by a wax and grease remover like duplicolor, followed by some type of paint sealant. My thought is to strip all wax each time I wash the car and then just apply a fresh coat of paint sealant after each wash. If I perform this routine 30 days I can have max protection and avoid needing frequent paint corrections. I figured doing a light clay with light polish correction once per year. What's your thoughts on this method and and suggestions would earn a long term new supporter!!!! Thank you!

[@timburge3498]

Great video! What PSI is the pressure washer set on?

[@bdjramfan]

Great Video. I just found your channel and love it, but I haven't seen many of your vids yet.

How do you wash all of the towels and mitts when you are done to keep them soft and avoid bad chemicals and residues?

[@devnull128]

Screw it, buying ten wash mitts and dumping bucket number 2. Excellent video!

[@KenVic02]

Instead of the two bucket method, I use my stubby pressure washer gun to rinse my mitt off, then ring it before going back into the wash bucket. Seems like it would do a better job than a dunk into the rinse bucket and is easier logistically. And I just lug one bucket (and pw hose) around the car as I go. I got the idea from the guy on the Dallas Paint Correction channel. Works well for me...thoughts?

[@commonsense8653]

So how long should a wash and dry take you? I do my own truck and all the family members and yes for free. Other friends have taken interest in my work and want me to detail their cars. For me to do inside and out it takes all day 8-10 hours. I told them around 200 if you think about it it is 20-25 dollars an hour. They look at me and say I'm nuts. I say if you want a go to a touchless wash and you can pay 20 or less and have a great day. Now mind you when I say full day that includes all protectants in and out and a polish synthetic to last longer. Love what you guys do and thanks for all the vids for help. Come on spring!!

Another thing you could do is a rinseless and/or pre-soak it in cleaner. Late at night or early in the morning as previously stated helps. Optimum no-rinse is great because you can pull out of the bay then do your work next to the vacuums or wherever without any worry

[@47485ksc]

If you choose to use the 25 cent self-serve washes, first, wash it down with the wand on "wash". Leave soapy. Before you use the "foaming brush", spray the bristles with the wand well so you don't get residual grit from the "rad dude" who washed his "rad by" (4X4) that was encrusted with mud/dirt before you. My 2017 Silverado extra cab 4X4 takes at least ten bucks worth of quarters. It's black so it's hard to get the brush on every square inch of the outside. You won't know until your vehicle is dry. Pisses me of though last time I washed it, I didn't miss any spots for the first time!

[@LapponianDetails]

So I am really curious. In this video you are doing everything by the book in my point of view. This is how you properly pre-wash a car. But I have seen so many videos of you guys only pre washing with water and then go for contact wash. Rinsing the car with just water will never get rid of all the salt and grime on there, a pre-was solution is a must, especially during Winter. So how come you are doing it correctly here and not on the customers cars?

[@alientje97]

customer car's are often already scratched, so safe washing is practically a waste of time because they get polished after the wash. after that they get coated. if you are going to washa customers car that is already scratched up safely and painstakingly wash it is pretty pointless if it gets a paint correction after it.

[@miychaeolit]

Bec they will polish it afterwards anyway so theres no sense in a perfect washing method. This method that Jason showed is more apt when the car has been polished and coated already OR to prevent adding scratches to an already scratched car.

[@LapponianDetails]

@@miychaeolit Yes I get that. It will save time and decrease the cost of extra chemicals. But I have read and seen people saying that you can pre wash with only water depending on the paint's surface i.e "hard paint" vs "soft paint". However I haven't seen any proof of that statement and if that is the case I would love to see someone doing a test on that. I love Chicago Auto Pros and support on what they do, I am just curious how it all works scientifically.

How do people feel about using microfiber towels for the wash? Any particular GSM or weave style that is best?

Hey is the Aenso prewash safe to use on ceramic coating since its very alkaline?
