Thank you so much for your video! As a woman, nobody ever taught me anything car related and just encouraged me to let the men handle it but i want to be more hands on with my little Yaris and i found your video perfect. Everything you mentioned is easy to obtain and i don't need to buy all of those hundreds of different soaps. Thank you from the bottom of my heart😊

[@mccormick151428]

Great video but I do this an always accept for one thing I don’t use the 2 wash buckler method because I have the bucket with the little dirt holder thing that’s inside that traps the dirt

I've seen those! Does it work well?

[@darrellhorner500]

VERY SMART! & BEAUTIFUL ❤️..... IN GOOD SHAPE TOO😍😍

[@danielgrant3946]

Maybe a dumb question, but how often would you typically do a full wash like this? Depending on conditions, once a month in the summer, or up to once a week in winter

[@Nicole.Sisson]

It really depends on how much driving you do and how dirty your vehicle gets. I think a good rule of thumb would be once a month.

[@angelacunningham903]

Aww man all the memories flooding back of washing your car in your front yard with dish soap 🧼

I have learned my lesson 😆

[@vishalsahu9769]

[@Nicole.Sisson]

Yes! They are all linked in the description. 😊

[@jasweb147]

Always start with wheels first. The dirtiest part of the vehicle. :) Good job!

Windows up. Dish soap hasn't shown up any issues for me over the years. It's mild and cheap.

[@jayleenchapero315]

Tysm for this video. For the past two years I’ve gone to a car wash and I feel like the paints slowly coming off.

[@Nicole.Sisson]

You’re welcome 😊

[@jange26]

Towards the end, do we apply wax before the car dries ? Thank you for the video

[@Nicole.Sisson]

Not a conventional wax but the spray as you dry wax, yes! 😊

[@AntLive29]

I got a good tip from watching this video

[@bjsimon802]

Do you use the 2nd bucket for cleaning off the dirty debris from washing it with soap?

[@Nicole.Sisson]

Yes, always give the mitt a rinse in the water bucket before dipping it back into the soap bucket! 🙂

[@skytechm07]

which product do we we use to remove basic small black dot from bug or pollen without carwash at the time , thanks

[@Nicole.Sisson]

McGuire's quick detailer spray and a microfiber. 😊

[@mrpz9320]

I recommend hand waxing after a good wash. It makes it easier to wash in the future.

[@Nicole.Sisson]

Agreed! I do this a few times a year. The spray on wax is just used in between wax applications 🙂

[@DomM-ze5vf]

What year did you brought this suv and do you have any problems with your suv and I love your suv

[@Nicole.Sisson]

I purchased the vehicle at the end of 2019 and haven't had any major issues. It's been a great vehicle! 😊

You didn't mention how many microfibre cloths used to dry the car. If you keep using the single microfibre cloth it's obvious that there will be streaks. Also you did the drying all the way last for all parts?! By that time the car will be dry

[@Nicole.Sisson]

I use one large microfiber to dry the vehicle and the car stays wet until I'm done drying. 👌

I’d like to see your car wax video❤️❤️❤️

[@Nicole.Sisson]

I'm actually going to be working on a car wax video this week! Stay tuned. 😊

[@tianic]

nice one, but the thing is, it doesn't really matter where you wash it, as a mechanic, what really matters in the long run is the buttom end of your car and the engine bay. I've seen countless cars with shiny outside but terribly rusty lower end and extremely dusty under-the-hood area. Those dust and rust are gonna eat up your frames, connectors, screws, brackets and a lot more, costing your more money you've saved from DIY washing your cars

[@Nicole.Sisson]

I try to wash under the car and the engine bay a few times a year. How would you recommend going about it?

[@tianic]

@@Nicole.Sisson common household water hose will suffice. Try using regular flow instead of high pressure because the force is gonna let moist into the connectors. cover your battery poles and alternator when you wash the engine bay. Do it every few month to half a year. I live in a place with a lot of snow maybe that's why I saw too much rusty cars.

[@Nicole.Sisson]

@@tianic Thanks for the advice 🙏

[@zoe7657]

False. It absolutely matters where you wash it. A crappie automated car wash can damage your paint as stated in this video. That being said, washing the undercarriage is also advised, and safely washing engine bay is ok also. The methods are not mutually exclusive to each other

[@Adams202]

Honestly invest in a pressure washer , it’s life changing

[@Nicole.Sisson]

Yes we do have one and I use it sometimes. Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@Adams202]

Oh nice

[@oralpowers7932]

I don't get this, you covered the vehicle in plastic? You could have put a ceramic coating on the vehicle or used a ceramic turtle wax. Sometimes less is better, in the cruel hard north when the temperature is just above freezing we take a 40V Worx power washer with a 5 gallon pail on rollers and just wash off the salt, sand and grime off with warm water. Just so you can read your license plate, the headlights and tail lights can be seen. Or you could just put snow in your micro fibre cloth and scratch the mud off the plastic and glass. The problem is most presure washers break when they're stored below freezing and most people don't heat their garage so they're useless 6 months out of the year. The Worx cordless power washer can be stored indoors, you just slap on the batteries and you can wash every car in the block.

[@Nicole.Sisson]

I do a lot of freeway driving so I invested in a paint protection film for the front of the vehicle. I like the idea of ceramic coating but it would provide very little protection against rock chips.

[@dirkdingle7926]
