How to Wash Your Car

[@Coachingwithjess]

Wouldn't that brush scratch the car?

[@DadhowdoI]

I have seen comments saying not to use it. I have always used it and haven’t had a problem, but maybe some car washes are not as well maintained as ours. 🤷🏼‍♂️ It would be a good idea to check the brush first, to make sure the last person didn’t leave behind a bunch of grease or dirt on it. You can always bring your own car wash mitt if you don’t want to trust the brush. 👍🏻

[@MrKurber]

Yes it does

[@MrKurber]

It puts micro scratches / swirls into the clear coat. Do it enough times and you see spider web looking lines in the paint when the sun is on it. Best way is to clean with two bucket wash with microfiber wash mitt. It’s important to protect your paint from rusting. Resale value goes down and potential repairs needed too especially if you live in the rust belt

[@laurenc8491]

Good tips!

[@stevewright116]

I've never had one scratch my car, but I always lay it on the ground and use the wand to rinse it out first. You could end up with small rocks in that brush that will definitely scratch your car

Im a 23 years old, for many years i lived "alone". You man, you, you are one of the most beautiful human in the World. Literally some love to you man, i don't speaking English well but i want to support every video of you. You are a good man, if God is real, well, i hope you are blessed by him

I’m Asian, so most things were like “watch me do it and learn by yourself”. You are so patient! Thank you!

[@alongcamekarma]

I'm sorry for your past, but tbh, I'm very grateful to you. Just learned about your channel. My father didn't leave. He kidnapped me for seven years, and when I was finally rescued, I was dropped into a foster family and raised their child. I'm an adult now, but the amount of times I've struggled with simple things like paying a bill, how to make appointment, or even basic care, or just wanted to be able to call my momma or something is astronomical. Thanks for being a pseudo parent for those of us that don't have one. You touch a lot of people.

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

I recently discovered your amazing channel. I was raised by a mother with "issues" and a mostly non-existent father, so I taught myself pretty much everything I know. I'm now a dad of two teenaged daughters. I strive to teach them everything possible to be independent, resourceful, and confident. It's great to have another source to pull from for this. Thanks!

[@Elkay26]

You’re a legend man, I hope you know you’re an amazing father for being here so you know how to best raise your own kids. Much love

[@SomebodyStoIeMyToaste]

I bet your an amazing father!

[@ZYD3K0]

We only have these manual car washes in the small town I live in, so this is very helpful. Thanks, dad!

[@DwightPark1280]

My dad isn’t the best dad. He’s never really loved me or helped me do any of the stuff you have. I could almost break down in tears of thankfulness and love about this channel. Your the best dad everyone here has ever had. Thank you, and have a blessed day!

[@IvettBPerez]

I'm single mom. Always I paid others to wash my car, but now I haven't enought money so I told my eight years old child "We going to wash our car" but we don't have idea how to do it. Your video help us so much. Thank you. 😊

I finally know how to Wash my car good

[@philipkerr6072]

Thanks

[@carolinecordelia]

This channel is very useful for me, although this car wash was a little "old school" as I've been using a foam spray attachment for my pressure washer for years, but for those who don't have one this is the best way to do it without wearing yourself out. I always use some kind of spray that removes small metal particles from the paint, and a spray that resolve oil and such from the road, and then I put on the foam and leave it for 5-10 minutes and when it's almost cracked up fully I will take a waffle sponge or a wash mit and drag the soap around without using any water yet, then I use my pressure washer bottom to top, panel by panel, then I use a regular bucket wash with my mitten, and rinse that off, and finally I put on a spray sealer, I actually recently bought a foam sealer too, so now I just put it on with my pressure washer and then when it's cracked up I rinse it off for 5-10 minutes and then I use a drying towel made out of microfiber, but that actually looks like fur. If I have to polish my car I will do that, but I will use clay to rinse out any dirt from the paint before waxing and polishing. I learned this from a Norwegian that has this shop that sells everything you need in the garage for your car, and he also make videos on how to use all the products, which have been very helpful for me that used to wash my car with an old dirty sponge and some old turtle wax soap and I used to wax my car with an old sock and turtle wax, and it was so much work and my car never looked clean. I had another car that I just washed in an automatic washer, but when I got a new white car in 2020 I searched KZbin for tips to clean and wax my car. I had been watching some Swedish guy and a Norwegian guy before, but then this new company showed up and I bought a starter pack with a polisher machine and the pressure washer and the foam gun and a variety of soaps and sealers to use for my car and it was such a game changer from how I used to struggle. I have a lot of health issues, so it was the reason I tried to find an easier way to wash my car, but without going in a car wash machine, I hate those things and I actually enjoy washing and polishing my car. It's not that many girls that do this, but it should be, why should it just be the guys that have all the fun tools. I really recommend this to women that needs to wash their car without a car wash machine. It's an investment to buy the pressure washer, and you don't want the cheapest one, it's the pressure that is the point, how much water that flows through the machine onto your car. The pressure washer can be used for cleaning almost everything outside your home if it can be washed with water. My mother actually was so impressed with this foam washing method that she got her own pressure washer and foam gun, and she has bought foam guns for my brother and uncle too, and they also like it. I think that company went well because of my mother back in 2020 😅. I still watch the guy that makes videos and his co workers that also make videos, it's so useful, but your channel is great for a lot of other things, like the first one I watched and re watched 10 times about how to hang a shelf on the wall. I didn't have a father when growing up, so it's always been me and my brother that had to do things to help my mother after my Grandfather passed away. I lived with a man for a few years, but now I don't have one, and I need to learn things that I didn't learn or don't remember how to do, or if I want to learn a better way to do things. I loved that your channel is called Dad, how do I? because it's just like having a father that teaches me stuff I need to know. I get that the channel is mostly made for the boys, but girls can do everything, except shaving their faces. Thank you for making videos like this. I still need to learn a lot. 😊

[@amberbonei]

Thank you so so so much. My sister is taking me to the car wash this weekend and now I'm not so nervous!

[@ameliatheginger]

Haven’t been back here in a while. I finally saved up to buy my own car, and thought about you when i needed help. Thank you for being the man in my life when i didn’t have one. You saved me.

[@repeeter007]

Great tip is: use the water spray to rinse the brush so it doesn't scratches your paint. Plenty of times there is some dirt in there from the last person. You don't want to damage your car.

[@krasserj4k]

The brush is going to damage the car regardless of what you do

[@christinehellner3502]

Thank you for your videos. My dad thought that it wasn't worth it for him to show me stuff like this. Possibly because I'm a girl. I've learned so much from you good sir thanks truly from the heart 💖 Bless you. 🙏😎👍

[@kycampbell521]

I’m fortunate enough to have my dad in the picture and he recently took a day and taught me how to do this at our house, and this was recommended to me :) I’m glad that this channel is teaching people about things that they need to know.

[@kpope7007]

I love how you think of all the things kids need to know and then make a video. You are a beautiful soul. Thank you for what you do.

[@ThaddeusCrump]

Thanks Dad! I've used these for years and always stressed about the timer. I will now be taking this approach!!

[@МаксимГегна]

My dad left when I was 1,5 years old, now I’m 18, you have no idea how much those videos mean for me. Thank you so much!

[@annmcintosh4524]

Your videos make me miss my father so much. Most of what I know I learned from him. When he passed away I was sad, of course, but mad because now I had to now do all he taught me. Cut grass, be “the fixer”, all the things YOU are doing videos on!!! What a treasure of information. About cried when you said “missed a spot”, one of my father’s favorite sayings!!!!

[@Potts2k8]

I always use the foam brush from the top down. The soap run-off helps shift loose grit, debris, etc. Plus I'm not dragging any stubborn grit from the lower (nearer the roads surface) panels up over my car even more than needed. Or even better, don't use the brush. 👍🏻

[@CarlMCL]

If you are worried about scratching, you should not be using these brushes at all..

[@krasserj4k]

There's literally no point if you're using the brush gonna scratch it regardless

[@southerngirlyall6497]

Yes, plus the wheels and tires should be washed last since they are usually the dirtiest.

[@Potts2k8]

@@krasserj4k true dat - I always let it foam away by itself for a good wee while in the hopes the main debris will dislodge from the brush before it meets the car but you're right... T'is a risky game 👀

I’ve been needing to wash my car so this came at the perfect time! I’m a subscriber because my dad has been absent in my life, so thank you for everything you do 😊

[@angelle3166]

I love your work so much!! I'm 18 and my father is very passive in my life, I wouldn't even call him that, he's more like a verbally abusive roommate. We were never taught these basic things as children and I'm just glad that I've found your channel, it really helps. Genuinely, thank you ❤

[@emmaaaaaa62442]

Hi Dad (if it’s okay that I call you that). I’m fairly new here, and I’m a teenager. My stepdad is not super appropriate around me, and not a good person in general. My biological dad cares about me, but isn’t really present most of the time. I know I still technically have a father, but this channel has really helped me and gotten me through hard family problems. Thank you so much, I really appreciate you and all that you do.

[@ooopticnerveee]

I've used one of these car washes approximately once, had no idea what I was doing, and panicked the whole time 😂 This is very helpful for me to watch so I know better next time. Thanks dad! A-shoooe! Edit: appreciate the sensible approach of letting the timer expire instead of what I did previously and try to use it all at once lol. Even paying it twice is still cheaper than most other car washes, even the automated drive thrus which i typically rely on.

[@mascialaroscia1128]

As opposed as many comments here I have a wonderful dad, the best thing happened in my life. Sadly he can't tell the same with his dad: my grandfather always managed to upset us, to say the least. But me and my dad discovered your channel and makes us so happy. Thanks healing him/us. ❤ PS: my dad is off for work right now and I used this video for I needed it. My car isn't shiny but it's all clean, and I made it all by myself. I'm so proud of it! P.P.S: sending love to all of you who hadn't the same luck as mine. It's not the same, but I'm sending you all my Big Sis virtual hug. 🫂

[@glennstatham960]

I like to leave the wheels and the lower parts until last - that's where the crud and mud is, so doing it last means we don't carry any of that onto the rest of the car. I share your channel with all my friends down under here in Australia.

[@wasuh464]

Thank you for you channel. I remember finding your channel a number of years ago; but I had to rediscover it after my channel got hacked. Please don't stop these videos. You help so many people, including myself. You doing a video like this gives me the confidence to take my car to a wash like this, where my anxiety would otherwise prevent me from doing so. These videos help me in a lot of ways when it comes to my anxiety. Thanks again for what you do, it touches all of is❤

[@BaileyB1011]

I have never been to a manual car wash place! This is very useful. Thanks for your videos ❤️

[@jrhutchinson4278]

Great video! Only tip I may add is do the top panels first then lower and wheels as they’re the dirtiest and can risk scratches with contaminants on the brush. Also wise to use the pressure washer and spray the brush first before turning to foam brush because most people have the same idea

[@brandondyck20]

Working detail for doing photography of used cars a good step to do before using the brush is to spray it with the wand first incase there is any rocks or debre in it so it doesn't scratchy your paint.

[@Armybrat4life35]

This is my first video of yours and I am loving this!!!!! I wish more dads were out there teaching kids these great life lessons!!!!! The dad joke was Golden!!!!!! Lol

[@pamo4kaa_yt568]

[@rabi0ne]

Can i suggest that when cleaning with the soap foam, you let the very bottom of the car and the wheels last to clean (they are the dirtiest things and could make your foam dirtier...

[@rcnumbers3562]

Dad, i love that you are showing us how to wash a car but i think it might be a better idea to find a manual car wash that also has a foam gun instead of a foam brush! Bring your own microfiber wash mitts and use that instead. The brush is too coarse and will damage your paint. In the beginning it wont be easy to see but under the sunlight you will be seeing the swirls and the 'lovemarks'.

[@raceraptorontherace]

[@spangery7215]

Thanks dad, loved the vid, learned a lot

[@bbbbballislife9858]

Just a littile tip: Perhaps rub the tires at the very end. They have a lot of dirt on them end there is a possibility that you are applying it to the car paint. I know that the brush is wet, but there is still a possibility to make more microscratches....

[@fierysceptile8916]

I am a woman and always wash my car by myself 😅 and i do this the same way, like you show us 🚙👍 always look before starting, that your Windows are closed 😂 I love your videos ❤❤

[@rcnumbers3562]

My biggest tip for cleaning wheels is to buy a wheel cleaner, preferably a ph neutral one. It makes cleaning wheels at home super easy because the product is extremely potent. Spray it on the wheels and let it soak a little, it will turn a certain colour, because it is reacting with the carbon particles that come off the brakes. You can then either wash it off or agitate it a little and rinse it off.

[@mobgamer6346]

When I was around 2 or 1, my mum and dad got divorced, my dad now lives in Queensland Australia and we rarely visit him (around once or twice a year) and I miss him so much, I’m now 13 and living with my mother, sometimes I still think about him…

Thank you for showing how to do this at a car wash instead of at home! Car wash businesses are federally regulated for their runoff to go into sewers to be cleaned and recycled where runoff into your street is not, meaning all the soap and chemicals that you wash off your car end up in nearby streams and lakes, just overall bad for the environment and bad for people.
