Ive purchased hundreds of dollars of product from DIY. You guys work hard and your instructional videos are outstanding. Keep up the great content!

Finally a video on how to easily prep a vehicle before correction and coating. Thank you!

[@diydetailofficial]

Thanks for watching

[@neilwalker5041]

What a cool car and I bet the exhaust sounds like music to the ears. The decontamination process takes some love as I can polish a car quicker than the decontamination wash. I cannot wait to see the polish and coating video!

It sounds great, here’s the following video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKuVenqweK2ebsksi=7qXG0TK4D0XSIMpc

I love hot water Rinseless washes. Very satisfying especially when it’s a bit chilly. Also the warm water helps break down the dirt a little better in my opinion.

[@diydetailofficial]

True

Awesome video as always! 👍🏻👍🏻

Great Video Ryan and Yvan 💪💪.

Looks great. Great part is to get Rinseless for lubrication and Iron remover.

It sure is!

Are c6 APP and hydro lite going to be picked up by the diy distributors like detailed image, or is that a whole separate process to get c6 stuff on distributor sites?

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes , it’s available to them

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

If you are new to detailing, I have a couple of thoughts. First of all, all painted surfaces need to be cleaned, which would include Hood & trunk areas & door jams. These areas need to be protective. Also, when using chemicals, always wear protective gloves...

[@diydetailofficial]

Great tips

[@PumpGasCivic]

I'll be by next week to pick product from Ryan since he's local.

[@diydetailofficial]

Excellent

[@chriss3959]

Nice car! Great video! Could you clean car as you both did then polish and coat it the next day? Any issues with that if garage kept?

[@diydetailofficial]

none at all! If there's dust that's accumulated before polish, just do a quick wipe down with Rinseless Wash first. if you're waiting until the next day to coat, make sure to do Panel Prep wipe before you coat

[@larsenttif]

Hi Yvan, I have a question about Rinseless Wash. I know it cleans, and I find the application very versatile. But I have noticed one thing: Here in Norway, where I live, there is often a very dark, almost black, static traffic film on the car. If I use APC, this type of traffic film is significantly reduced. If I pre-wash with Rinseless Wash, this film is lifted up to a certain extent, but not removed in the same way as with APC. If I pre-wash with Rinseless and gently slide my finger over it, the black disappears immediately. However, I still like this black traffic film to be removed before I touch the paint with the sponge. So: Do you think it is oil-based dirt on the car in this case? And if so, should I use APC instead of Rinseless Wash to remove this type of dirt?

[@diydetailofficial]

DIY Detail All Clean would be a better choice

[@georgina_gsm]

BTW is the IK the sprayer or the foam version ? Which is better for applying Rinseless? TIA 😊

[@diydetailofficial]

Sprayer for Rinseless

[@jakefinnegan5099]

Looking to get a soft bristle broom/brush for quicker washes during the spring (Pollen season). Is this a bad idea? Or can a broom help speed up the process?

[@diydetailofficial]

Use Rinseless Wash with the legacy sponge

[@jakefinnegan5099]

@@diydetailofficial thats what I normally do! Looking to use broom for quicker wash instead of sponge

A flag tipped nylon brush will work

[@pigeonpoo1823]

Yvan, new to this rinseless method. Can you do a video showing close-ups (or even photos if that's not feasible) of you wiping over the panels. Showing how much water is on the panel after the spray, after you've wiped over with the sponge? And the demonstrating how much water is too much or too little. Or maybe I'm overthinking this. Cheers

Why is it you use rinses wash to prep pads for polishing? Would just water be okay for damping the pad before polishing?

[@diydetailofficial]

We also use it to keep the pads clean

[@BMan100]

Welp... now I know what to do with my Challenger, though if I wanted to use All Clean in my foam cannon would that be alright? My go to for pre wash foams in Autoglyms Polar Blast, their dilution ratio is 5:1.

What if you know the vehicle has a sealant or wax on it? You don’t use a higher PH soap/strip wash? Just let the polishing remove it ?

Chemicals rarely remove sealants completely

@@diydetailofficial Thank you 🙏

[@rooboy99]

Hi Yvan, was watching another channel yesterday and they mentioned that after using panel prep (before coating) the coating instructions states to wash your car again with a degreaser such as dishwashing liquid to guarantee removal of polishing oils etc. This is a well known brand. Have you heard of such a thing? Thanks

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes, if you’re polish is heavy in solvents and oils a degreasing step is needed. This was also a popular step years ago when polishing created dust. With The Gold Standard Polishing System there’s no need to add a time wasting step. Also washing again means you risk having water in crevices.

[@rooboy99]

​@@diydetailofficialthanks for the the reply. I use the GSP and your panel prep, so all good. Applied the 3 year coating to my sons car on Saturday. He hasn't stopped talking about how shiny it is. He also said he leant against it and almost slid off lol

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you.

[@orthodox1717]

What if you can’t go over the whole car with iron remover/clay towel before rinsing? Rinsing panel by panel seems like that would present too much water on the adjacent panel and dilute the iron remover too much.

[@diydetailofficial]

If it dries on the surface it will still rinse away clean

[@orthodox1717]

@@diydetailofficialstill probably not a good idea to let it dry if working outdoors?

[@diydetailofficial]

Ideally, no

[@misplacedcaper9662]

Only thing I disliked about my Challenger are all the places where water accumulates when washing, especially the trunk lid/tail light area. After opening the trunk and drying everything, I'd have to set towels over the tail light area and set the lid down on them and let it sit for a while.

[@diydetailofficial]

Agreed

[@ryanl8653]

It took a good 4 hours of opening and closing the trunk, for the water to stop dripping out! It sucked!

which IK foam tip did Ryan use? orange, grey, or green?
