How often should you wash a vehicle? What about if it drives about 2,500 miles per week? I drive pure black Livery (limo) SUV's I take it thru the automatic car wash place about once a day, but would LOVE if the black paint actually stayed BLACK... and stayed cleaner longer. Any suggestions?

[@skodakatie7341]

Great video, I do like old Volvos, including this one, which puts up a fight when being repaired lol 😂.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Limo drivers and taxi drivers have it tough as the car is always exposed to the elements and if you go to an automatic car wash every day, even the best ceramic coatings will eventually fail (even though they last way longer compared to regular waxes or sealants). Your best bet would be to stay on top of things by having a ceramic coating applied, and then maintaining that coating with a silica spray sealant once every two weeks. The paint should at least stay glossy and slick (even though it will accumulate swirls and scratches).

[@jenr8049]

@@PanTheOrganizer exactly! I yse the turkle wax and dry... I think? The green bottle. And it will look great, but one MAYBE 2 trips thru the car wash and it's gone.... not to mention the black just isn't black. When we first by them they look great, and in less then a few months they start to show ALL the swirls and are not shiny. And I've looked for the "black" products at Wal-Mart, Target, Auto zone even Lowes... lol and NO ONE has them. 😥

When you foamed it from the start you let it sit a few minutes and then started to bucket wash it That is fine if you are starting out with a fairly clean car but if you have a car with a lot of road grime, bugs, dirt etc. Should you not rinse that foam off first after letting it dwell a couple minutes and then start your two bucket wash?

In reading just a few comments, I did already see one (3mos before your comment, I think) asking why he contact-washed the foam, instead of rinsing it and THEN contact-washing, and his explanation was precisely what Josh said-- that the car was already clean enough that it didn't require the two separate steps. Just wanted to let you know that you seemed to have formed the wrong impression (and then typed it out :-) ). Cheers.

[@jpan7071]

And I do the five bucket one mitt method; one bucket for every section. I use the buckets as drums, too.

[@dylan-nguyen]

Hi Pan, I recommend the new single bucket wash method, it guarantees no dirt gets on your wash mitts. You just need 1 bucket of soap and 6-8 wash mitts. Use the wash mitts and dip in soap once per panel and then set aside. This means you are using a new wash mitt per panel and guaranteed no dirt in your soap bucket since it’s a new mitt every time. Hope this helps in the future :)

I will definitely use this method when I finally have enough wash mitts.

@@ianirwin5405 I would normally foam the car, let it sit then rinse. Then foam (instead of dipping my wash mitt in soapy water) and use that foam to hand wash. So I did what Pan did, spray the rinse less wash, let it sit, and then proceed to my foam wash. The rinse less wash is supposed to be designed to remove dirt better. So thats what I do now, maybe I’m wrong, but Pan is more experienced than me so I followed his instructions. I tried it and I like it, but everyone’s conditions are different.

[@butchc9226]

On my comment on it being easier: I think it’s easier because It seems like the rinse less wash removes a lot more dirt than a foam pre wash so my foam hand wash is faster. But again everyone’s conditions and results are different.

One area you didn't cover in washing a car is to clean and dress the inner wheel wells. I typically clean well as I clean the wheels and then when I dress the tires (I use Mequiars natural shine protectant), I spray the inner wheel wells and use a scrap piece if towel to work it in to the surface. It makes the wheel wells look so great. I picked up this habit from watching preowned dealers and wholesalers spray a dressing on the inner wheel wells to make them look better.

My blue 2017 GMC Sierra truck still looks amazing after 3 years of cleaning it properly thanks to your earlier "2018 regular maintenance wash vid". Even though it's a "truck" I treat it as if it's my own Porsche 911 dream vehicle. I took the truck to a professional to have it paint prepped and ceramic coated immediately after viewing that video and it was worth every penny. Bought better soap, buckets, drying cloths, detail spray and wheel/tire dressings. The truck still looks better than it did brand new after every wash. A standard wash without detail spray is usually about a 2 hour project but it's definitely relaxing and rewarding. Congrats on the new ride and thanks for continuing to educate us with your passionate knowledge on keeping our vehicles looking their best. Cars are much like clothing. If it looks good, you will most likely feel good while driving it! One subject I would love more info on is using quick detail spray on cars that haven't been washed in a week. Quick detail spray always has me worried that I'm going to scratch the vehicle while just cleaning up bird droppings or wanting to clean a hood without having to wash the entire vehicle. Do they work as well as they claim?

If using a detail spray for anything other than a drying aid. You should only use it on a fairly clean car surface to remove light dust or finger prints. Not on bird droppings, dirt, or any large particles.

[@b-ri1338]

@17:34 Also really quick, if you use have a coating on your car, you can use free flowing water to dry it faster. (What I mean by that is the removal of the hose head or power washer spray tip so the stream is laminar/smooth.) I usually start at the roof and let smooth stream sheet all of the beads off of the paint and glass (This works on wheels too). Then the car should be around 70-90% dry. Follow up with a spray wax, detailer or use a leaf blower/air blaster. If you live a hot/humid environment like me, this makes the leaf blower drying go by faster. The glass is probably the hardest to dry because if you miss a spot you’ll have water spots everywhere. **Just a small tip for anyone who also uses a leaf blower to dry their coated car**

[@rodneybanks7201]

Pan, I enjoy your videos on car detailing and cleaning. You have mentioned before about troublesome water spotting when rinsing the car after washing. I have found a way to eliminate this effect completely. I do a final rinse with store-bought distilled water which dries absolutely clean with no residue whatsoever. I use a battery-powered pressure washer (I have a Dewalt unit that works great.) that can be fed from a 5-gallon bucket containing the distilled water. Four to five gallons are enough to rinse the card. It is especially good in the gaps between panels where it is very hard to dry with a towel. It only costs about $7 for the water. I also use this system for my house windows.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I have a water deionizer setup that eliminates 100% of water spots as it has zero minerals. Super simple setup. I presented that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3yxfWSZnaaEjrssi=NU2j0wY2Un1SyQ0U

[@kevinyawgel4228]

How effective would you say the pre-treatment step is? In your old tutorial you didn't use that. Does it make a huge difference or can I afford to skip?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It’s little extra steps that always help prevent love marks on the paint. So yes it’s effective. I wash my car twice weekly so it’s always fairly clean and hence I don’t need to pre-treat all the time.

One tip I came up with my self when dealing with spray on and rinse off sealants.. work from the bottom up when you rinse with the pressure washer.. less likely to have the drippings from the washing going on up top carrying off any product before you have a chance to set it in with pressure on the lower parts. Love it or hate it.. I found this method works well for insuring everything is going on more evenly.

Hey pan I was wondering what is a good way to keep dust and water spots off your paint? I just did a detail and handwash on my black gmc sierra and I did a spray on water activated graphine coating and hand dryed. It looked great but then it rained thru the night and it just looks all dusty. Any additive I can spray on to destatic the paint.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

There are no miracles if you have dust issues unfortunately. Regular washing is what I'd recommend as that is what is the safest method. I wash my car twice weekly. If the car is clean, but only has a light layer of dust on it, you could use a plush microfiber towel and a detail spray to wipe it down gently. You can also use a quick detailer that has antistatic properties like this one: bit.ly/3Uvy3PZ

I just did a great wash using these techniques though I'm still waiting for my pressure washer. With the ELY Hose/QD/Sprayer Nozzle Set I can lay down a powerful spray, much like a pressure washer. A Foamaster foam gun at the highest setting and full Strength Adams makes plenty of rich clinging foam in no time. I disconnected the clunky spray gun and QD attachment from the canister and screwed it directly on to the ELY nozzle so I wouldn't have to constantly squeeze the handle, replacing the sprayer nozzle after foaming.

I do like the lubrication that the snow foam adds, but I feel with the pre-soak then snow foam and having soap in my bucket...it’s just a ton of products I’m using. Do you feel you could skip the snow foam step using the rinseless pre-soak method? Especially using GSF in the wash bucket as well...it is crazy slick as I’m sure know. Foaming the car is a ton of fun, though! I’d like to hear your thoughts, Pan.

I see this is an older video so I was wondering if you still recommend a drying aid when using drying towels? Is there any risk of the aid destroying the towels ability to absorb water? I always wash my towels after every car wash using Tide Free & Gentle which has worked very well for me keeping my microfiber towels fresh and clean. If you do still recommend a drying aid is there any special care needed to prevent my drying towel from being ruined? Cheers.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You should always use a drying aid when using a microfiber towel to dry your vehicle. The drying aid (or quick detailer) acts as a lubricant between the paint and towel, minimizing the chances of marring the paint during the drying stage. I always wash the towels after each use, with a quality microfiber detergent like this one: amzn.to/4dkk7lA Of course, over repeated use, it's inevitable at some point that your towel will see its fibers coated by the drying aid, and will become less absorbant. It is what it is, you can't have it all. Rather buy a drying towel every three years, than run the risk of marring the paint. Plus using a drying aid boosts gloss and slickness after a wash, which we all appreciate. For 100% touchless drying, you can also use a blower, car dryer or leaf blower, if your car has some form of paint protection (wax, sealant, or ceramic coating). The hydrophobic properties of the protection makes the water fly off the paint and you dry your car super quickly (my preferred method).

Man, pan youre videos seriously are high quality, thought out, and informative. So first off, much appreciated. I do have some questions though, my main question is, how often do you use something like a bead maker or ceramic spray as a drying aid? I cant imagine youre apply bead maker twice a week when you clean your car do you? And if not, What do you use on the weeks its not needed for a drying aid? Onr? No drying aid? Also, this is more generic, but i still cant wrap my head around the differences between a quick detailer, paint sealant, and drying aid. It seem weird to me if say, i washed my car three days ago and it got dusty to use something like bead maker to clean it. Maybe im wrong and thats exactly what its for but would that not cause issues to apply a coating like that to a dirty surface?

[@SnareMan]

Great video. What about a 1 bucket method... Snow foam the car, and rinse it off. There is usually soap left in the foam cannon so what about just refoaming the car with that and then using the microfiber mitt on that rinsing the mit in a bucket of water along the way.

@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for the fast reply! I was actually just in the middle of watching that video. 😋. But my thought/question is that instead of having ~5 towels/mitts in the bucket of soap to just refoam the car and use that instead of a soapy bucket. And then just rinse the single mitt every so often in a clean water bucket. Just trying to figure out if there are any downsides to that idea.

I learned something new today watching the "How to Wash Your Car Like A Pro" video. I never have put a rinseless wash pre-treatment on the paint before I rinse. I will start doing that step.
