How To Detail a Black SUV! | The Detail Geek

[@TheDetailGeek]

Have YOU ever owned a black vehicle, and if so - would you do it again??

[@justinreneau1983]

My car, my wifes SUV, and my Mobile detailing van is black 😅. Love clean black cars but I always tell myself I wouldnt own another. They look so good clean with tinted windows

[@absgarage8724]

YES AND NO

[@taramarion3963]

My husband has a beautiful black GMC Sierra. It shows every touch!

[@Kezpool]

Yeah and would again. Black is best colour for punishing people who don’t look after their car but deeply rewarding people who really look after their paintwork. No colour seems to get that deep gloss that black can but it shows up dust like anything

[@TheDetailGeek]

Same here 😄

My favorite detailing tool is the vacuum. On complete disaster jobs, the largest visual impact in my opinion is the vacuum job.

Totally agree on the visual impact it has!

[@lucaspiroddi7343]

I absolutely love using my Meguiars water magnet towel for drying my car. And I just started using Super Clean all purpose cleaner on the tires and interior which works super well!

[@ShugarShay]

Umm you’re fine as hell

[@lenawolfley4673]

yes please come to Texas.......

[@whiskyeet]

His teeth tho lmfao

[@WayToManyAssassins]

Why are girls like this in youtube comment sections 🙄😂

[@jasonc422]

i just came to a realization as to why these videos are a weekly upload because the 15 minutes we see is like 15 hours for you in the actual detail, camera, editing, and voice over. i also like using meguiars tire foam 👌🏽. thanks for the hardwork, can’t wait for more! ♥️🎉

[@TheDetailGeek]

That’s exactly why. Except that it’s more than an additional 7 on top of the detail...probably 10-13 for sure. I’m a perfectionist so I’m always trying to make these videos perfect 😊

[@mrcowboypimp]

FINALLY SOMEONE THAT DOESNT TREAT THEIR CAR LIKE TRASH!!! HOW EXCITING!!! Don’t get me wrong, those disaster vehicles are satisfying to watch once they’re clean, but ALWAYS leaves me questioning, why would anyone let their vehicles get out of hand? I don’t care who you are or where you’re from, have a doctorate or work in a landfill. A piece of property weather on wheels or not can say ALOT about a person, and I mean in positive ways!

[@scotth.1393]

Beautiful job. It's easy to tell when someone enjoys what they are doing. Yes, I have a black Lexus and a black Honda. As for having another black vehicle in the future, I am thinking about it, but another color might be nice, simply because I have owned 3 black cars in my life. They are difficult to keep clean, but nothing looks as good when it's taken care of.

[@TheDetailGeek]

Totally agree...though I do like a good blue vehicle too...or red 🙂

[@mbl722]

Watching car detailing videos is strangely satisfying. Any tricks of the trade for dog hair, it is everywhere in my jeep (wrangler)

[@timhanby5662]

mbl722 there are dog hair specific brushes, made especially for car carpet, it draws up the dog hair and makes it much easier to vacuum, But if you’re trying to save a quick buck, try a drill brush as it can be used for a lot more than just cleaning dog hair! Some vacuums also offer attachments which whip up the carpet and suck the hair at the same time, you could probably buy one of the attachments and fix it to your own vacuum as I did. I bought a Miele dog hair brush/hand attachment, it was second hand although had never been used, the suction of the vacuum spins the brush within the head and whips up the hair before sucking it away. This was definitely on the more expensive side but I’m sure there are similar vacuum attachments out there which function this way. Hope this helps :)

[@mbl722]

@@timhanby5662 thanks, I take my jeep to the manual car wash because i live in a condo and do not have access to electricity near the parking lot, so a dog hair brush would be necessary for me, vs an attachment of a drill brush.

[@karwanhamza]

Dedication Precision Perfection U really nailed every detail of all tge car U detailed

[@CallsignArchangel]

Having not been detailed in a long time, this car was CLEAN. That paint looked to be on really good shape. Great job on this one. Looks amazing.

[@howardrice9527]

Black is so hard to keep clean! Nice job as always.

[@TheDetailGeek]

Thanks!

[@zachbennett11]

I like that you actually clean dirty cars, unlike a lot of the cars the “pros” do that are almost already to be done

[@sxmaustin01]

why do cars have carpet wheel liners? that seems like some chaotic recipie for disaster?

[@TheDetailGeek]

It is lol but apparently it’s to reduce road noise 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@james13666]

This car shows that, carpet on the rear wheelwellS cause they are connected to the passenger compartment and not up front with the engine.

[@Theadamsfamily2000]

It's amazing how much they reduce noise inside the vehicle. Never really noticed it until my husband got a truck with the carpet liners. Totally quiet in there. I get in my van and it sounds like I am driving with the windows down.

[@robertfreeman478]

Love the videos. Keep up the great work. I used to take my car to the carwash not anymore. Last time I went took two and a half hours and I paid $40. Got myself a shop vac and a foam cannon. I feel like I do a better job then the people at the carwash. I'm getting better at cleaning my car want to get better then I am now. Definitely keeping it a lot cleaner then before.
