Quick 9 Step Spring Car Cleaning Subaru Outback

After last years car spring cleaning episode, you asked for a shorter version that focused on efficiency, process flow and tool choice. This spring cleaning emphasizes the steps needed to keep the process around 1-2 hours to complete. I show these steps on a Subaru Outback. Thx for watching AMMO Drive + Protect! -Larry

Larry, I love how you give all alternatives depending on price, without mentioning the price. "With your pressure washer, or garden hose." You're showing people they can get results regardless.... Not trying to sell a hose attachment that puts it underneath the car. Respect

Larry I've been a viewer for about 5 or 6 years now and I really can't thank you enough. For the knowledge you share and for breaking things down. You personally are the reason that there are a lot of successful detailers around, including myself, and I just wanted to say thank you for bringing us this content!

Larry makes the best instructional detailing videos on the Internet! Period. I have learned so much from you. I especially like the video regarding polishes, compounds and pads that was recently uploaded.

[@John5ive]

Larry, one of the best things about you is you're always watching other people and trying new things. In this case it was a window tinter and you applied the technique to how you work. you're a true professional; always trying to get better

[@ericdoe2318]

garden hose and broomstick for the WIN!

[@gmans7859]

Yes, he's got me thinking about how I can create a short stick of PVC Pipe with fittings on each end for attaching the Hose and Spray Nozzle.

[@spongebrick81]

Thanks for this updated video. Your previous video was amazing too! What drew me to your detailing videos was I just bought used Outback and your first Spring Cleaning had me sold on how to maintain our family vehicle. I really appreciate how you go in detail of your cleaning process. I agree that not a lot of the process suits your viewers. I always try to adapt to your methods as best as I can. I hate to say it, but I do cut corners. Hopefully I will be better as time goes on. Great work and keep it up!

[@shwin75]

Thanks Larry for another awesome video! Your last ones from the Academy were so much fun to watch and learn. I appreciate your hard work in keeping these informative videos going. You are my role model for detailing!

Thanks for the kind words and for watching and supporting AMMO

I followed your tip about moving the front seats all the way forward while I clean the back of the car so I didn't have to move the seats more than once during my cleaning. You are an efficiency engineer. Thanks for good content and products.

That kinda cool that you use a squeegee. I started using one about 10 years ago to clean my semi windshield. Still surprised that it works so good. Of course a few layers of rain-x afterwards helps as well. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

I like the rain x washer fluid too, it lets you cheat

Larry thank you for the refresher course just in time for spring cleaning! Especially cleaning glass! Its so hard and an iterative process to find the "best method." Much respect. im going to keep on riding your coat tail and use your advice! time to buy a squeegie! Using your scrub pad method on glass has been a major improvement (part of your 3 step method).

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Thank you Larry. As you can tell by my name I like when i can repurpose items to help my tasks. Good stuff!!

[@hyperdrivee7922]

This is such quality channel! I like how it’s responsible to viewer with out talking down or showing off.

[@kgpp2293]

It's the sharpness of the edge of the conquer squeegee you're using and the ability to focus more pressure on that edge as these wear out they are far less effective as they become round. I'm window tinter good seeing tools being utilized else where :)

[@nickolastiguan]

Lesson learned today - don't buy a car with light interior

[@JTSpencer]

Dark interior gets just as filthy. You simply don't see it as easily.

[@HenkkaWRC]

@@JTSpencer Yeah, that's the point. You don't see the dirt.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Agreed!

[@ryanslemmer5905]

@@JTSpencer Yea, I'd know it's dirty and know it still needs cleaned... but it isn't going to show and be a glaring burden for those of use who judge ourselves on our cars being or at least looking clean between deep cleans.

Agreed; Unfortunately, if that's the color(exterior) she liked she was limited to that color interior. That is one of the 2 exterior colors Subaru offers that gets ONLY that interior color.

Thank you larry for another great video! I really needed a video like this as I don’t have as much time as I used to with cleaning and maintaining cleanliness of all the vehicles in my family!

Excellent breakdown of the process. I like on Long Island and the weather is finally getting better. I have been cleaning my car all winter so I don’t have to go nuts.

Another tip for those who don't have an interior brush or don't want to spend the money on one, use a soft bristle paint brush. Even dollars stores have some decent ones. It's not only good for cleaning the interior of a car, but you can use them to do quick dusting jobs around the house. I love the tip on how to clean the undercarriage! Thanks for the vid.

One time we cleaned rubber mats with a stuff they use to clean above ground diesel tanks. The process went thusly. Spray the poison on the mats. Once they start smoking, rinse them clean with a pressure washer. I must say that I’ve never seen that clean rubber mats, and as a bonus they got a nice rainbow effect on them.

[@Rodbraker]
