What This Foam Did To My Z06

[@richardralph8716]

I didn't want black until I keep seeing yours!!! The C7 Stingray that belongs to Dustin near the end, is that Torch Red or Long Beach Red? Thanks for your videos. I'm still hoping to buy a C7.

[@Corvettes918]

👊👍😎

[@n4aride480]

Hi, the color of the car is crystal red metallic tintcoat. The color looks different in many different ways, ie sun, no sun, shade, overcast, etc..... Dustin

[@badlilstang]

Mr Pink is ok.. It was my first soap I used when I go into auto detailing and paint corrections years and years back.. I moved on to Carpro Reset... superior product. I also do not foam and then wash with mitts. I foam.. and rinse.. it's great a rinse before you start washing ot help carry some of the dirt off. There are many techniques and this one always made sense to me. Being you have a black car I hope you have a nice Ceramic coating like Cquarts pro or reserve on there. It really helps prevent swirls from washing etc. My detail guy has done cars priced as high as 10 million down to your typical 10K car. I have learned an amazing amount from him. Also check out Microfiber madness towels and pretty much anything by CarPro is amazing. Wheel woolies for wheels are awesome! You need a bucket for your wheel cleaning. Makes it easy for rinsing and adding soap. I like to add ONR to my wash/rinse buckets as well so there are polymers to help prevent scratching when removing dirt. Soap is a surfactant not a lubricant. People need to start learning about polymers that can actually help reduce swirls and micro marring while cleaning.

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks for the comment. 👍👊

jesus that is fucking cool as hell man. that z06 looks pristine.

Really enjoy your videos on washing and maintaining your corvette. I have already bought all the products you use for the inside, looking forward to trying the outside ones as well. Keep up the great videos!

[@Corvettes918]

thanks rusty for stopping by the channel and the support. Have a blessed Labor Day. 👍😎

You lucky person..haaa. amazing vette..nice house ..sun shining....you Americans...haaa good luck buddy...from England

[@johneysie677]

Great info on the video Chuck. Appreciate the car wash tips. Look forward to hearing what you use in between car washes. Or when you get back from a ride as far as a quick detailer. Go Pats!!

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks for stopping by the channel. Thanks for the feedback. Those pats are primed to do it again.

[@davidbrown3029]

Redskin fan and Corvette enthusiast!!! Enjoyed the video I just brought my first Vet. Do you recommend getting a ceramic coat on the paint job?

[@Corvettes918]

Absolutely

[@bmx687]

Mike here, I have followed for about 5 months now but havent spoken much. Absolutely love the channel! I often tune in during my late week nights of studying and weekends of studying during the day - as I am now. The channel is an awesome hang out for the long days with my head in the books. As you know, very close to finishing pharmacy school. Torn between the grandsport, audi r8, porsche boxster, and jaguar f type! I will say that your channel makes me lean towards becoming a chevy man! Enjoy your labor day weekend brotha - Mike!

[@Corvettes918]

bmx687 glad to see you working hard to become something in life. So many people look for the easy road but you are grinding it out and much respect to you. Those are all amazing cars you have mentioned and I must admit I am a little biased when saying the Corvette is a total experience and the people in its community are as priceless as the cars. Well done mike and much success to you after school. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@phillipberk]

[@nickberger3655]

Ever try Adam's H20 Guard and Gloss as a drying aid? Not sure how similar it is to that Kenotek product, but you spray the H20 Guard and Gloss on and the water just starts to bead up and run off on its own. Doesn't leave any streaks either.

[@Corvettes918]

I have not but will take a look at it.

[@nickberger3655]

It's a bit pricey, but it is nice stuff. Not sure if Chemical Guys has an equivalent or not.

[@tjshine8022]

[@swfloridacarguy1987]

Chuck great advice on cleaning gave me a few good ideas. Sorry, I gave you the information wrong on my 1959 C1 black and silver corvette, the photo was taken in 1962. Imagine what that corvette is worth today. Bought it for $1,500 and sold it to buy a 1965 396-425 got that one for dealer cost as I was a mechanic then at the dealership. But with a growing family had to put the corvettes on hold until 2017. Again thanks for showing them and we look forward to your videos.

[@Corvettes918]

Regardless of the year it was a great photo. Thanks for sharing.

[@baronlowe9579]

[@thebaddog4104]

Thats a bad ass Vett. Kinda looks like the Batmobile. Nice job on the wash too, awesome mirrored finish. Enjoy the ride my friend.

[@Keem84]

The Vette is AMAZING!!! Loving that Wrangler as well

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you sir 👍🏻😎

[@TheNephron123]

Good wash technique, I also use the master blaster 8hp air blaster, the air is warmed. I used to have a black challenger SRT8, black is tough on maintenance, I'd look at the paint and it would get swirls in it!! And that was despite using 2 bucket method and minimized wiping down on the paint......I've got a ZL1 1LE coming in Garnett red so I hope it'll be easier on the upkeep!!

[@Corvettes918]

Yea, if I washed it more often would get a Master Blaster. With having a ceramic coating I only wash it a handful of times a year. Congratulations on the ZL1 1LE that is once sick car. Send in a pick when you get it to share with everyone. 👍🏻

[@TheNephron123]

Corvettes 918 I just had one of the coatings applied on my daily driver (17 Civic Si, need the decent mileage given the 30k miles a year I drive for work), and the upkeep is very easy with it, but I still tend to wash it at least twice a month, if it were garage kept all the time it would be a lot less.......are you going to get the ZR1?

[@tjl8884]

Gorgeous car. Great vid.

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you👍

[@florentineortiz3274]

LOL!!! I was just mesmerized on how great the car looks! Either way I like your techniques! Thank you!!!!

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks for stopping by the channel Florentine glad to have you. Stick around the ZR1 is on the way.

[@phatrides222000]

I don't get the two bucket method. I use the one microfiber pad per panel method. Got to wash it when I'm done, so I might as well wash 10 and not risk putting dirt on the vehicle.

[@Corvettes918]

Like I said in the video. When washing cars people just find what they like using what they like to get the results they want. This is just my way. 👍

[@FrontSeatDriver]

I usually do the 10 microfiber towel wash too.

[@ElectricIRA]

I believe the two bucket method allows you to rinse the debris that might scratch the paint or clear coat from the washing brush or mitt. Wash a small section of the car and rinse. Repeat.

[@ThePattibeth]

After the dirt is washed off with the microfiber towel and you drop it in the soup soap bucket and rewash another area, you are actually risking applying the old dirt and rubbing/scratching into your car and damaging the paint. So you rinse the towel in clean water bucket. Then drop it in the soap bucket and repeat. It didn't make sense to me either at first. Your welcome, Patti

[@buckeyedragracer]

I get the reason why people use 2 buckets, I just think it's flawed. It's not like the dirt instantly falls to the bottom and doesn't get stirred-up when you put the wash pad in the rinse bucket. I bet there is just as much dirt in the soap bucket as there is in the rinse bucket when you're done.

[@hipasstunes.43yearsago.edited]

I came for the car washing but stayed for the blacked out corvette, its a beauty! In the process of blacking out my car! love the plates too lol

[@richardvacanti4265]

I would use the 40 degree spray nozzle. That 25 looked awfully powerful. And you would not want to rip a bag off the side of your car or something. I really would think about going down to less pressure. But that is a beautiful car good job my friend I’ll never be able to afford one no I work for Uber I’ll have to work 10 times more hours

[@bcclark8681]

The car isn't dirty..

[@loganshmelter5423]

It's good to maintain your car and keep it in good condition it may not look dirty but washing it like that gets all the dirt we can't see off the car

[@curtisfish7984]

Great video on one of the best ways to wash your Corvette. I believe you can alway learn something from someone else's way of doing things. I used to always wash my tires and wheels last. But after watching your video I believe I will start with the wheels and tires first and see what I think. I also had my wheels treated with the ceramic wax when the rest of the car was treated. The Brembo brake dust hardly sticks so there is much less to wash off. Keep the KZbin videos coming Chuck!!

[@Corvettes918]

Totally agree, you can always learn something. 👍👍

[@Knards]

I used Chemical guys for a long time on my 2015 Mustang. Now I use Optimum products. I use No Rinse soap. Just spray the car off, wash it with No rinse and wipe it off. They have an excellent detailer gloss enhancer for a drying aid. I buy it at the Rag Company online

[@michaelbooker2484]

MrMrwilson11 sound like your advertising😂😂

[@applejacks971]

I use the Opti-bond wheel dressing, good stuff! Also, the Rag Co has the cheapest and best microfibers you can get. I've been getting all my towels from them for a while now :) Gary Deans Infinite Use Detail Juice is awesome detail spray as well, in the case your're unfamiliar with it.

[@paulletchworth8127]

A good thing for washing brake calibers is a long hair paint brush get it real soapy and you can get to the lil nooks and gets them really clean just a lil tip I use , love your content

Absolutely, especially in spring or summer months, the heat beats em to death but nothing beats the look of a black vehicle

[@Butterffinger5678]

Yes. And it shows everything. If you ever get a black car, only hand wash it and wash it properly. Still, I have no regrets driving a black car.

[@paulhenry274]

I was fumbling my phone around and clicked this video on accident, but I'm glad I did. Thanks for the wheels first tip, makes total sense. I consider myself borderline OCD but can't imagine how much a year you hardcore detail gurus spend on supplies and products. Ballpark annual cost for this sort of treatment? Thanks for being enjoyable to listen to, it's a dying quality. You managed to keep me around for the full fifteen minutes with no prior intention of even watching a detail video!

[@Corvettes918]

I have a ceramic coating so only wash it maybe 6 times a year. Glad you stopped by even if it was an accident. 👍🏻😎

[@Corvettes918]

This video was an experiment on how people view titles/thumbnails and their expectations on a video. Some will watch and feel slighted because they clicked wanting to see a destructive impact on the car and others will watch and see a great looking Ceramic coated car after a wash. This is proving out to be correct by looking at the likes vs dislikes. You can hate but don't use profanity or harsh wording because video is censored and KZbin will block your comment. Thanks for watching and if you subscribed welcome. 👍🏻

[@SKR-141]

okay, i love your corvette... but i didnt had in mine to subscribe; then i saw the JK and i had to!

[@scottferguson1932]

I didn't necessarily expect to see damage, but I did expect to see the foam have some effect. What I saw was the foam doing absolutely nothing special, and I did feel slighted. Clickbait is a horrible disease that cheapens your brand, and I warn against it.

[@GMak81]

Personally I think it would take a bitter and spiteful individual to want to see a negative outcome. I haven't watched the video yet, but this looks like a snow foam type product, and I love those types of minimal contact required cleaning products, so I was hoping to see a happy car owner enjoying his shiny car, and maybe finding out about a new product in the process. (I am strange, I enjoy finding out about car and bike cleaning).

[@zeejimi4044]

I note that after using the foam cannon you used a soft cloth on the surface as well to remove any residual grime/dirt. In another video on youtube a guy foam-cannoned his car, and it looked fine from the distance, but after closer inspection there was a still a thin layer or haze of dirt on the car. I also note that in addition to the foam, and the physical cleaning, you also use other chemicals to enhance the shine. My conclusion is that the foam cannon was not the main player in the result you achieved, that is the physical cleaning and the post treatment also played a significant role. Anyhow, your car was not very dirty at all when you started cleaning it ! I owned a PT Cruiser for 16 years, and I used only a brush which was attached to the water mains. Afterwards I dried it down and occasionally waxed it. When I sold it, the new owner was amazed at how good the condition of the paint was in. My facit is therefore that the important factor in taking care of the paintwork is to WASH AND WAX IT OFTEN. I never used car shampoo or a foam cannon, and in all honesty I think that they are spectacular but ineffective as they do not remove all of the dirt. On another car I owned, a Honda Accord, I damaged the paint when using a pressure cleaner, so I don’t use that either on my car now either.

[@johnsimpson9781]

Thanks for sharing the products you use Chuck. I've started using some of the same and it's made cleaning my GS easier. 👍 I do need a foam cannon I think!

[@Corvettes918]

The foam cannon is just cool and fun. Plus adds another layer of lubricant on the car for washing. 👍

[@TheDogfather6]

Ceramic coating (on EVERYTHING! Even lug nuts!) + adam's foam cannon (chemical guys is good too) + 2 bucket (3 if doing wheels) + Master Blaster is just fantastic.

[@Corvettes918]

[@MylesRodgers]

Absolutely gorgeous Z06. I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.

[@drgoutbreak7934]

So just a quick suggestion when using a foam cannon it can work better if you don’t pre spray your car and just go straight to foam at least thats what I’ve had detail shops tell me as well they make a car squeegee that really helps with drying so you dont spend as much time drying the car off and go to car wash soap is MR pink and than for the actual detailing i use a mix of chemical guys and smart wax products

What's the ballpark cost of the Ceramic Pro 9H? Should I lay the clearbra on before or after? have a 2017 Admiral Blue Stingray and I fear the Arizona sun and dust will destroy my finish.

[@Corvettes918]

My car cost $1,500 if you do expel you would want to do that first. The ceramic coating helps against the sun.

[@paulbosley6448]

Great vid, awesome car...black sure looks great when its clean like that:)

[@Corvettes918]

👍😎

[@Bolt_theG35]

Is that drying spray you used with the microfiber towels also a detailer? I guess what I'm asking is will it also shine the paint?

[@Corvettes918]

It can be used as a detailer but I use it as a drying aid. I have a ceramic coating so doesn't give any extra shine but it would on a car without a coating.

I am planning to order a 2018 Z06 shortly after the first of the year, unless I decide to wait a little longer to see what happens with the ZR1. I discovered your channel while researching Z06’s and have been watching a lot of your past videos. They are well done, very informative and have helped me greatly as I was deciding how I want to set mine up and care for it afterwards. I had no choice but to subscribe to your channel so I’m new here. Thanks for the time you take to put out a lot of good, useful information. Since I can’t drive my Z06 yet, I’ll have to be content in watching you drive yours! (I tried to posting previously but never saw it appear so I hope this is not a duplicate.)

[@Corvettes918]

Welcome Paul very honored to have you. I am also waiting on the ZR1 revile to see what my next step is. If I don't get a ZR1 I will be adding a ZL1 1LE to my channel most likely. That and my current Z06 should make for some good content. Enjoy the ride until you get yours and then the fun will truly begin.

[@bronzeleague4360]

Heard if you didn't rinse after the foam Cannon, then it's riskier because there will still be dirt particles in the foam left on the cars which can lead to scratchs

[@defended]

I use Adams foam cannon and cleaning supplies. but my foam always seems to be too soapy? and it isn't a nice foamy layer like yours its like just thick liquid spray and runs. maybe bc I never shook up the soap in the foam cannon? any tips?

[@Corvettes918]

The type of soap you use have a huge affect on it also how much you put in the cannon. 3 to 4 ounces max the Mr. Pink I have found to the best for me.

Usually not a 'Vette kinda guy, but yours I REALLY like. I like the fact that you've modified the front wheel wells for the way the rim/tire pokes out a bit. I'm going to do that on my 370Z because I love my rim/wheel combo but they stick out from my wells a bit like yours. I need to get several of the items you've mentioned to dry my car. I want the microfiber towel as well as the drying agent spray because, not matter how many time's I go over my car, I invariably miss areas (like low on the doors) and don't see them until the next day.

Wow, when a black car is clean and shiny nothing can beat it. 👍 I thought you're going to use the foam cannon for a touchless wash. If you do a touchless wash don't dilute the soap and you'll get a much thicker foam. The foam cannons with an adjustment button are designed to mix the concentrated soap with the right amount of water. Cheers!

The C7 is probably the nicest car that I've seen in a while. Us Aussies can only dream of those Chevrolet's.

[@Corvettes918]

Its a great looking car for sure and has some get up and go as well. Australia 🇦🇺 welcome

[@johnhoopes9944]

Enjoyed your video and I must say, your car is beautiful!

[@Corvettes918]

Thank you John, I appreciate you stopping by the channel. 👍🏻😎

You did an in incredible job my man. I wash my vehicles the same way. If I had something of that caliber I would do the same, knowing that I performed at my standards. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Just randomly browsing car videos on youtube and the 918 caught my eye! I live in BA too! Grew up in Coweta! Nice vett! Ill be looking out for you around town! Got a sub from me!

[@Corvettes918]

Very cool to have a fellow 918 in the community. say hi if you ever see me. 👍

[@mercsan117]

What do you do for a living? I'm messing up in life (as in not finding opportunity) and can't get ahead.

[@Plutusofalleria]

One of the nicest cars general motors has ever made. They really nailed the corvette with this one.

[@Corvettes918]

👍

What do you use to edit your videos if you dont mind me asking =) Thanks! Used to make videos and want to get back into it but the program I used before limited me to 720p. Thanks.

I use Final Cut Pro X on a MacBook Pro.

You should really look into deionized water for drying. It will save you so much time and give you even better results.

[@Corvettes918]

👍👍

Good video. Gave me some ideas. Especially the wheel cleaning. Keep up the good work. Nice car. Beautiful, DEEP Black.

[@Corvettes918]

👍👊

[@MindCrime550]

I have an obsidian black pearl hawkeye WRX, and I'm sure your car is similar in that the camera can't do the paint justice after a fresh wash. Something about a black with depth on sharp edges.

[@Corvettes918]

👍😎👊

Stumbled across your channel while researching foam cannons. Saw your name and thought.. maybe he’s from Tulsa. Turns out you are from BA like me. Pretty cool channel as I’ve spent the last 3-4 hours watching your videos. I don’t have a Vette but I have a blacked out Avalanche.. daily driver and very hard to keep clean. Got a pressure washer for Christmas and just ordered a foam cannon. I subscribed and will continue to follow, maybe I’ll see you on the road.

[@Corvettes918]

Very cool, that’s a older video. I have a two part series coming out this week about all my cleaning gear. I won’t have this Z06 much longer me ZR1 should be here in a few months. If you ever see me definitely let me know. 👍🏻😎

[@dchildress17]

Corvettes 918 yes I saw that you ordered one. Congrats and enjoy!! Next time you meet up at “The Home Store” off 51st and Garnett look for me, I work on the SW corner of that intersection😄

[@donbatt2823]

I end up with rust residue inside my wheels, the back side, from the brake disc. Since the wheels are minutely grooved they hold the rust residue in plain sight. How do you prevent this? Do you blow dry the disc prior to driving? It seems to come off when they are wet.

[@toodanderson351]

Love your car man, my c5z 50th anniversary got hit yesterday. Sucks, but nice vid

[@Corvettes918]

Todd, I am sorry to hear about the accident hopefully you are able to get it back to looking like new soon. Never a good thing when you have a car wreck.

[@austinmurphy3690]

Pro Tip: Always use up-and-down swipes when cleaning side panels (fenders, doors, bumpers, etc) whether washing, drying, waxing, etc. Each time you wash your car you put swirl marks in the paint, whether you admit it or not. How noticeable they are depends on your wash practices. Vertical marks do not reflect light as easy as horizontal marks and therefore are a lot harder to see.

[@Corvettes918]

great information thats why I did the ceramic coating on the car. You still get some but nothing like doing this on paint.

[@Ogscottyp]

That is one BEAUTIFUL Vette my friend. Probably the best looking car I have ever seen.

[@Corvettes918]

Thanks Scott👍

[@onebdcuda]

WHAT UP CHUCK! Nice vid as always. Mexico hahaha you crack me up Chuck! Great info. Blessings.

[@Corvettes918]
