I found that using my leaf blower works better at getting the water off faster so u don’t use as many microfiber towels.

[@EverydayChris]

Oh nice!

[@thundering112bada4]

Ive been using leaf blower as well.

[@tonyawalker6874]

My Dad does the leaf blower too…for his vehicles.

[@PEACE_4_U]

Yesterday my wife asked me to use leaf blower and I said Naah I will follow the KZbin video…I end up having shades of waters😜. Now that many people have tried leaf blowers, her creative theory is proven..

[@EverydayChris]

Hahaaha

I am blessed to have recently joined the Tesla family and I came across your videos before my delivery. What an incredible job you do!!! Just subscribed, your video are incredibly helpful, insightful, concrete and informative. Keep up the good work!!!

Aww thanks that’s why I make these videos!

[@stefyank3554]

@@EverydayChris heck yeah, you are the man!!!

[@bobsilva6222]

Thanks EC. Great video. ONR is money. I do love my foamer. Love the Adams Super Foam. 2 buckets is key. Be sure to use neutral PH soap for everyday wash. Use your electric leaf blower before drying. Helps a lot.

[@rosariorose9]

GREAT idea about the leaf blower!

[@JRspeaking]

What is ONR?

[@EverydayChris]

@JRspeaking waterless wash! Check Amazon!

[@gener4159]

Griot’s Garage (and others I’m sure) sells a bath towel sized, super absorbent microfiber towel that dries the surfaces in one pass, one towel for wash; wring out and hang to dry. It retired my leaf blower from drying duty.

[@EverydayChris]

Oh nice

[@s.porter8646]

I'm a new owner/subscriber, love your vids Chris, mahalo

[@msawyer91]

Great tips Chris, thank you! I just got a 2024 Model Y and had PPF and ceramic coating installed last week. My previous car (a 2020 Model 3) was already swirled up from many trips through automatic car washes. I didn't want to make the same mistake with my new one.

[@anandp3991]

Madness. This is a full time job. Take a drive through car wash membership and go through it every week.

[@EverydayChris]

haha

[@steveallen1055]

I don't have anywhere to do that and my car usually only gets dusty so I take it to a do it yourself car wash. $2.50 I quickly spray off the dust with the high pressure rinse then use the remaining time with the spot free rinse.

[@EverydayChris]

Yup easy peasy

[@vincentcarino878]

We need to know your workout routine!!! lol

[@adrianb3264]

Hey Chris. If you have stealth ppf you have to use a non wax/shine wash otherwise you can potentially ruin the finish on the ppf. I have xpel stealth ppf also and a ceramic coat on top. I use chemical guys matte wash.

[@EverydayChris]

Interesting! Good to know. I’ve done it on the rx for years with no issues but I’ll keep an eye out

[@seanstevenson200]

Thanks so much for the car washing tips, Chris! The foam gun/cannon stage and then rinse before hand washing is a game changer. Great videos!

[@tonyawalker6874]

Oh my goodness. This was a lot. I just got my Y last month. I don’t have a garage and my car will be parked outside. Definitely looking to get the film put on it . I’ll be hand washing a vehicle again and have not done that in years. I was was so use to going to the automatic wash with my previous gas SUV. This gives me a lot of good info and will be going to my Dad’s house to get him to help me!!

[@omarbabakarkhail]

Just use a no-brush automatic car wash. Saves time and does a pretty good job. Do that with my 3, no issues.

[@darrylwalker2728]

Great job Chris…very detailed video! TY

[@johnnyquid-xj4kk]

Dawn, microfiber rag, windex. Next.

[@cybercat119]

that is a lot of patience!

[@taketheleap]

Cool content, Chris! I just started my channel and want to make more content. Just subscribed! I listened to your whole story today on KZbin creators hub podcast

[@EverydayChris]

Woohoo! You got this bro

[@jwbjpb1338]

Or find a car wash that allows TESLA car to go thru the car wash. I found one where I live and it works perfectly every time.

[@jeffpicken5057]

Did I misunderstand the two cleaning approaches? Do you do the foam spray thing and then rinse it off and also do the two-bucket hand wash method? Is there a reason you don’t just spray the foam on and then hand wash using that soap?

[@EverydayChris]

So spray foam, and that lifts the dirt then rinse. Then 2 bucket. It’s just an extra step of protection.

[@Jacqueline-es5yb]

I love these video's thank you. But personally I got an electric car to improve our world (not the complete answer obviously - but a step in the right direction) but whilst watching this I can't help thinking, what chemicals are you flushing down the drain and out to sea? Not great I am sure.

[@sheenacruz679]

Hi Chris!!! If we have ceramic coating PPF, do we HAVE to use soap meant for that? Or will any car wash soap be fine? Thanks!!

[@EverydayChris]

They recommend it due to the ph levels but honestly as long as it’s not intense stuff the cosrco meguiara is fine

[@henrokwonzo4692]

hey chris great video! Can I ask when self washing, do you enable car wash mode? thanks

[@wgroentje1]

Tx again😊😊

[@melody301]

Great tips. What tint % do you have on your windows? By the way, your Tesla is FIRE!!!

[@EverydayChris]

Ty!! 5 percent!

[@marcuschauca9543]

Did you change the water hose that came with the green works power washer? It’s blue in the video.

[@wilmercb]

I"m waiting for my full coverage PPF matte install on my Model Y LR, I have a pressure washer (Ryobi 1800 psi) have you had any issue using your pressure washer and you PPF film? Thanks. ...great content in your channel ;)

I found a leather chamois works as good or better as a microfiber cloth. Old skool, not vegan 😂

[@Gelato7570]

What would you recommend to clean sunscreen stains in the interior?

[@EverydayChris]

interesting... oxy clean and a soft brush

[@stevedowler2366]

Great wash details there, I lost track of how many rinse - wash - rinse again - etc. then all the protectants Yikes! And how many times did you end up doing the tires? I lost track of that too. I'll check the list later. Cheers.

[@EverydayChris]

Hahah

[@javiero5712]

Could you please share where you got your PPF?

Sure! Check out my other ppf videos. Xtreme edge garden grove

[@11ico7e]

Hi. do i have to set the car wash mode on when im manually washing it?

[@EverydayChris]

No the charge port might open but that’s it

[@braaji]

I just use wash and wax soap and hand wash,

[@aaronderouen5873]

Could you tell me what percent tint you personally have on your model y? id like for mine to look like yours. front and back percentage. thanks.

[@baileym4708]

Hey Chris, you don't need a life hack if you put the water in the bottle first and then add the soap...reverse what you did and you don't need a hack....lol Logic fail? Just playin.

Same as what professional detailers do. It’s the correct way to wash a car. Just naturally most people don’t take good care of their belongings, even a 70k car.

thanks for the comment!!

[@LarryRichelli]

I learned from the pros….foam the dry car and let it sit for a few minutes then rinse. Now foam car again and do a contact wash and rinse.

[@sheenacruz679]

Hi Chris! I might have missed it, what do you use to clean the dash, the sides of the inside like the door handles etc etc aside from what you used on the seat? Also this car has PPF, right? You still need a sealant? Sorry I know nothing lol

I use the car guys super cleaner for the interior! amzn.to/3yLk3fO

[@slyguyaction]

A hose bib in the garage?? That's awesome! Thanks for the video Chris!

[@Bowwow30]

I am slightly surprised that washing your car at home is still legal in California, whereas mowing your lawn with a conventional lawn mower is not. I would have expected that it would only be allowed to wash your car at a car wash (either self-service or automated).

[@feline.equation]

I live in Southern California and it’s not really allowed because you’re not allowed to use so much water that it goes in the gutters. Your gutters are supposed to be totally dry unless it’s raining. That means no washing a car or watering your lawn. My dad used to wash all of our cars at home and right about when they made this rule he fell off of our truck while washing it and broke his foot, so now we just go to the touchless. But I like wash my Tesla at home.

[@derrekb4501]

Do you have to put your car into car wash mode first since you are power washing it? Or is car washing mode is only for automatic wash? Can the water from your wash gun get into the charge port?

[@EverydayChris]

Car wash mode prevents the charge port from opening so yes it's a good idea but if you don't hit it in that area it should be fine!

[@derrekb4501]

@@EverydayChris so as long as the charge port is closed its' fine? Or is it without activating the wash mode dont even spray that corner of the car? Sorry I am confused. Thank you!

[@EverydayChris]

@@derrekb4501 Yeah! it can handle water fine. It's more so things don't open accidentally. It can even handle water in the charge port but don't shoot the water directly into the charger hole. I open my charge port and clean the inside with my wash mitt with no issues

[@MadmaxMusic93]

if you have ppf you can go through a carwash you know that right?, nobody has time to wash it manually especially every day dirt gets on it, bugs ect ect

[@EverydayChris]

Still not recommended by any professional as it can damage ppf still

[@IAmThePrepper]

Hey Chris, re the spec of the pressure washer - do you recommend anything stay at or below 1.2 gpm and 1800 psi? Should I get the lower psi to prevent it might strip the paint? I hope there is one I can use the dial or there is selection to choose what PSI I would want to use.

[@EverydayChris]

Nah should be fine! Just use a WIDER attacment not 0 degrees or 15

[@rosariorose9]

Great video Chris. Thanks!

[@MichaelRexford1]

I see you live in a quiet neighborhood. haha. Thanks for the advice! New Tesla owner here, this helped a lot.

[@StefanHane-cb6lg]

TRY THE CAR BY AIR BLOWER IS BETTER THAN BY TOWEL, BECAUSE WITH TOWELS YOU CAN MAKE SCRATCHES

[@niri2375]

Chris this may be a silly question but I'm new to this. Do you wash and reuse those towels for the next wash or do you use new ones each time?

[@simplelife4213]

You have to use new towels everytime you wash your car. Otherwise your paint will fall off.

[@EverydayChris]

Yes new ones!

[@brucehawkinson8901]

Hey chris, I have the matte white full body wrap on my model 3 LR as well. After I went back for a 2 week check up on the wrap, they completely went over the car to inspect. I notice they were spraying and wiping the car to clean when finished. I asked about what they were cleaning with. They said for quick light cleaning between car regular car washes I can use a spray bottle with a mix of water and isopropyl alcohol then wipe off with a microfiber towel. It does work well !

[@EverydayChris]

Oh how cool. And cheap and easy! Thanks for the tip

[@bonosaiyan4444]

What works for me when I'm drying the windows and the glass roof of my Tesla is I use a squeegee instead of microfiber towel... I use those to dry the body.

Do you have any recommendations on a good water hose pipe? Also, didn't know you could get wood trim with white seats - maybe its an option on Model Y? I have a model 3 and I've been trying to find a replacement for my wood trim for the white trim - did you by chance use a 3rd party wrap or something?
