Awesome been looking at getting the extension wand for pressure washer even for a ford pick up or dodge rams ect there very essential and as you said to reach across the whole vehicle without potentially damaging or leaning on the vehicle

[@g.fortin3228]

Your tips are quite valuable and appreciated.. newer vehicle and i dont want to mess up the paint ! I'll be ordering some gear.

[@dawsonprice3154]

Stumbled on to your videos about 2 weeks ago. Purchased few items from your reviews. Washed my black Mach-E and white Jeep Cherokee this weekend. Didn't think I would have any issues with my Mach-E, but it is taller and wider than I thought. So had to use an old brush i had and a kitchen step ladder. When I was done, I wondered if you had any brush recommendation. Came to youtube this morning and this was the 1st recommended view and what is in the picture a BRUSH and the platform for a bonus. Hadn't thought of that item. Makes total sense. Thanks for your videos and sharing your knowledge and time.

[@abdulmajeed1173]

very very helpful..thank you very much!

[@mikejones5364]

Thanks, I just ordered the ladder platform

[@noelcrumsey3142]

Thanks Josh glad I tuned in I had forgotten about the Mitt On A Stick Pro. I believe you show cased it a while back at one of the product shows! I’ll be ordering one shortly!

[@gregorygraham2563]

Love this stuff Josh. I have a GMC 2500 and really like that brush set up, thanks as always for your expertise for us amateurs.

[@imjoshv]

My pleasure!

I’ll have to let my neighbor know about the mitt on a stick, they have a trailer and I’m sure this would help, great video, thanks Josh 👍😁

[@koreywilliams4570]

I just got a extendable microfiber mop thing to clean the top of my car. I have a 2013 Cadillac SRX and I'm 6,1. I can't reach the roof with just my hands so having that mop thing was a huge help. Especially since I have the moon roof. I hate seeing the water spots and dirt when I open the shade.

[@archiepezek]

Always great content. Thanks Josh.

[@imjoshv]

Thank you!

Good video. I have the power washer extension, awesome & I have the platform

[@sully4875]

[@kgamaseg]

Excellent video and great content!!!

I agree on all except that huge towel, too much to keep from touching the ground (clumsy myself). I did see that Autofiber mop at MTE and it is the top of it’s class!

[@BRAINRAY]

Hi Josh! I'm from Puerto Rico and I never miss one of your episodes. You really help a weekend warrior like me! I was lucky enough a few months ago to buy the gorilla platform from Home Depot it was on special for 50 bucks!! I have 2 SUVs so it helps a lot with the vehicles and stuff around the house!!

[@imjoshv]

Hey Luis, thanks so much! Yeah during black friday i think they were around that $50 mark. Great Value!!!

[@parneypots]

Nice job

[@segundoautomotive]

Great tips especially that mitt on a stick! We need to upgrade ours!

[@imjoshv]

Yea they are fantastic

[@Joe-yy8bh]

Great tips! Please do also full interior detail, i wanted to see your process specifically for factory vinyl flooring. I do have the Sprinter passenger 170.

Another great video Josh ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@imjoshv]

Thanks!

[@erikpechmann879]

Josh, love the videos! I really believe you come across as very relatable and honest about your comments and reviews. I couldn't agree more with the products you have listed. I'm picking up one of those platforms for SUVs and Trucks. I think I'm also going to use it as a mini workbench to hold some of the products I'm using while detailing the car. I do have a question. I'm currently using a leaf blower to dry off the wheels, which works great. I see that you have a small (battery?) blower that you use for the grates / grills and nooks / crannys. Do you have a recommendation? I think these are pretty essential to the process and help evacuate water left in these areas. Nothing worse then driving away and have water drip down the side from side mirrors, etc.

[@mutatedgenome]

I've BOLO for a mitt on a pole that has an angle like the Autofiber. Thanks Josh.

[@Stainlessautos]

If I was a mobile detailer I would for sure get one of those long platforms, since I only do friends and family I actually bought a portable scaffold and I love it.

[@imjoshv]

Awesome!

[@cassandrajimenez5456]

Thank you so much for all the videos you do. I've learned so much from them. Can you please do a video of what products you would use from Chemical Guys?

[@Aswaguespack]

Great accessories and must have tools. 👍🏻

[@imjoshv]

Thanks! Im all about working smarter not harder and the right tools help with that

[@Aswaguespack]

@@imjoshv I second that! 👍🏻

[@levelbest6142]

That mitt on a stick is so awesome. I use it on the roof of my trucks, then hit all the glass. No ladder, no wet shirt trying to reach the center of the windshield. 10/10 product if you have a large SUV

[@christopherpaige406]

My crew wears denim aprons. Works well so far.

[@SinCityDetail]

I just did a Sprinter van and used most of these products!

[@koreywilliams4570]

I want one of those scaffolding things

[@kevin_ramirez2529]

Sometimes they go on sale at Home Depot, it’s really helpful

[@leehess6335]

The work bench I have two of those a friend of mine he is Contracter he has a few of the same ones but they also make the same workbench and they have them where they fold out like that but then they have the legs or a pull out and they’re twice the size if you need to work up higher he has the same ones like you have so like when you use the taller ones when you extend them you step one like you have then Jen step onto the other one has the legs in side of the legs there great I love thw work benches I don’t like Ladders especially like if you’re painting a room I just set them up so I can walk from bench to bench no crawling up and down a Ladder so much faster 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@danamesarchik3633]

Josh you always have great information in your videos. I have purchased most of these tools to make cleaning my cars or Rv easier. Have you tried the Mary Moppins lambs wool head? I use that on my extension pole for the roof of my truck and my Rv.

[@imjoshv]

I have not, I’ll try to check it out thanks!

[@subzeroRLclips]

Hey i dont know if you or anyone else could benefit from this but theres a type of step ladder you can buy that mounts quickly to car tires, might be good for windshield work

[@alexisesqueda8701]

Nice work! Also I have a question I bought a mjjc from you but it was working great but then when I’m using it it’ll start to spray water from the sides ?

[@christopherpaige406]

In my neck of the woods now with this 1! Hey Mr Josh, do you have any suggestions on biodegradable or "eco-friendly" chemicals? The new area that I'll be working in is a pain in the but when it comes to using soaps. They are pretty much, "water only" with no runoff🙄😒

[@Ara_Milan]

you mention it correct only use pre wash if needed, but can we also skip the drying without having diy water. or wil these always leave a mark .

[@kat4animals004]

Ok to use the ... Mitt On A Stick Pro with a vehicle that has decals and/or wrapped? thanks!

[@jaimemerino1444]

Do you have an alternative for the long reach brush ?

[@tonywilliams4302]

Hey brother. What PH soap do you recommend for stripping waxes and sealants?

[@thehomehandyman1391]

Josh what is your opinion of Aero Cosmetics Products? I have a large motorhome and saw you review of the Autofiber pole and Mitt.

[@wouterdegroot5499]

Can you make a video about the turtlewax foam gun? Btw your video are great!!!

Thanks! I just did a google search for it and it doesnt look like its available in the US.. I dont see it on their site either. If you have a link to send it to me and ill check it out!

[@nobsisgreat]

Many professionals dislike chemical guys or adams polishes products. Could you do a video on which products of those brands you personally would be okay with using

[@valledecauca1087]

Josh I got mjjc from your website today the o ring blew on the 1/4 quick connect that connects to the gun and foam cannon what size o ring do i replace it with i cant figure out what size it is

[@jamesletsch775]

Hello Josh. Foam cannon question. Can I use and get good results with the MJJC Pro paired with a gas power Ryobi 2900 psi 2.3 gpm pressure washer? Will I need to change out any parts like orifice, screen and tip? Thank you your advice. James

[@adrianherbert9441]

Awesome info Josh, hey could you do a video on some water resistant clothing and shoes please.

Hey Adrian good idea. For shoes I wear vessi’s they are water water proof but super comfortable sneaker style shoes!!

[@adrianherbert9441]

@@imjoshv thanks, I have heard a few people mention that brand.

[@Maineuser]

Do you need a special tip on the end of the curved extension wand, when just rinsing? Or does it come with a tip? And if not, which tip? I’m gonna get the Essentials blue one to match the pressure washer gun I purchased, that you’d recommended…. Thank you! Linda

should i foam cannon onto dry car or presoak first?

[@scottbrandenburg2243]

Hey Josh! Thanks for another great video, appreciate your guidance. I had my car ceramic coated, and I've been using the Griot's BOSS foam cannon and wash. Problem I have is that the foam still comes out "soupy" rather than thick. I've got a ryobi electric pressure washer, and the outside spigots are set to house pressure, not unrestricted street pressure. Any advice on how to get a thicker coat? Is it the washer maybe? Thanks again!

[@imjoshv]

Hey Scott What soap are you using? Also when your car is coated many times it’s so slick that it won’t leave a thick coating of foam just because the coating is fighting it off.

[@scottbrandenburg2243]

@@imjoshv OK, never thought of the fact the ceramic is just doing it's job.. 🤣 Griot's foaming surface wash and about every other week following it up with foaming poly gloss. They both look like they come out of the cannon a little runny, but they do produce good results.

[@capolato3212]

@@scottbrandenburg2243 is your Ryobi stock? Cause if you add a different foam cannon with 1.1mm orifice maybe it would change that

Hey dale thanks so much! In the 250-400 range I would definitely go with the active 2.0! I’ve been running in one my vans to see if it can handle that much use and it’s been performing perfectly! You get great gpm and psi for car detailing
