All My Secrets For The Basic Exterior Detail | VoiceOver... New Format!

[@Olivia-cn3zf]

I like this format... It's a bit more relaxing especially because you have time to explain things and also not competing with other background noises! I'd do a mix of both.

[@genxfordguy1380]

I'm really more of an enthusiast at this point, but would like to become a detailer as a self employment venture in retirement. I like your vids, and think you have this very well thought out. I really got a lot out of your vid on walking the line between hype and profitability. Your Reference to Sam Walton and the customer "Always being right" was a great reference to your dedication to quality as well as using their criticism as a learning tool. Thanks again for the amazing vids. Just know you get a merit badge for teaching an old dog new tricks.

Detailing OCD!! That’s what I’m afraid of is taking too much time! I guess I’ll find that line when I start 😬 hopefully!

[@mr.lad-detailingtricksntip]

For me I found I'm more efficient that as soon as I get to the vehicle I spray all the tires and let our soak in for a few. That way when I rinse it off I just need one round of scrubbing... less contact, more dirt removed

[@gsjourney3054]

Yea that’s what I do I spray my wheels down with a cleaner then I scrub each wheel if I have to then just wash it off I don’t go wheel to wheel cleaning cuz it’s not efficient

Is it faster to wash a car with a rinse less wash or with the traditional foam cannon and soap bucket method?

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

At 8:22 where do you get that wheel spoke brush? Thx

[@chrisault2004]

Dude... I was ok with most of your explanations for the brush on the ground, the knowing when to stop on the tires, etc.... but starting on the ABSOLUTE dirtiest part of the car (behind the drive wheels) and carrying that dirt over some of the most noticeable/eye level parts of the car is the biggest hack thing I have ever seen. I can't believe I just saw that....

[@datsuntoyy]

Maybe you should listen to what he said then, he explained that.

[@chrisault2004]

@@datsuntoyy I did listen, but it doesn't justify starting on the bottom of the bumper and working up, even before folding the towel.

[@ko-detail4680]

​@@chrisault2004 Top to bottom is the safest way, but marred paint and him flipping the towel over anyway I guess it aint to serious. I did cringe tho lol only because it would break my OCD wash routine if I did it myself.

[@gsjourney3054]

Chris Ault it really hurt cuz you can see that there was dirt on the rear bumper and it just bang to the towel and probs rly loved scratching the paint but tbh it’s probs a 40 year old white mom who doesn’t care but she cares that it’s a bmw cuz nothing less for those people

[@carlosbeats972]

Man I like all your vids and understand you have to be profitable and you need to run a business your way but the only thing I disagree on is if a customer brings a car in you treat that car like your own and like it was a Lamborghini doesn't matter if it's a regular Honda civic that rarely comes in they all get 5 star treatment.

[@trscsaeg]

It's not that he doesn't want to do 5 stars. It's that doing all this extra stuff it's not going to benefit the customer or change the end result because of how long this guy goes without detailing. If he was once a month then yeah all the extra shit would benefit the customer cause then the condition of the car would hold up. No products are going to help this car last 2 years till next service

[@robert7622]

@The Nebula Porsche's? Why don't you treat them like Bugatti's? Oh that's right because it would take you 3 days and cost $2k. He obliviously takes pride in his work HENCE THE KZbin CHANNEL you idiots...

[@jokervr2]

The problem with your comment is you aren't a detailer. If you were you know how insanely long it would take JUST to clean a tire and rim 4 times around the vehicle on a car that hasn't had the detailer touch it in 2 years. does that customer really give a crap about their car? not enough to waste our hard hours aiming for absolute perfection when they aren't even capable of seeing it.

[@erikr835]

That’s counter productive. At want point are you wasting your time and minimizing your profits? Think about the opportunity cost. Each vehicle and client is unique. If you want to be profitable, you must find the right balance.

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

I’m looking for a faster way to dry my truck off after washing it. How do you feel about car blowers? Do you have a recommendation and/or videos on this? Thx

[@MrRedex88]

I love voice overs.

[@JP-yp2yw]

Glad I saw this. I recently purchased a set of Continental Pure Contact LS. While they are awesome performance wise, they are a nightmare to detail. After several scrub downs with super clean (2:1) they still look like crap. Lots of blotchy brown throughout. Trying to apply any type of dressing (water based or silicone) is just as frustrating. Some parts of the tire look great, other parts look like no dressing has been applied (best way to describe it as 'dry spots'). I'm about ready to give up and just live with it. Any and all recommendations are appreciated!! Thanks!

[@jeremyhuddleston6107]

Looks great. Thanks for the videos. Did you miss the gas cap area?

[@nbamford03]

I wouldn't use anyone who puts their tools on the ground, uses one bucket when wet washing and starts washing on the bumper. I'm no pro but this is just basic stuff, whatever the car / customer.

[@mamba109]

Using multiple towels is actually safer than 2 buckets. Using a plastic sifter to "trap" dirt at the bottom is the single most deceiving lie they tell you. Honestly, unless you're cleaning pebbles and rocks off your car, a little sifter isn't going to do shit because solid tiny harsh particles will still float all over your "clean" bucket. Using a *single* towel to do an entire car with a 2 bucket method will 100% ensure you're reintroducing particles back into that towel. Have a foamy bucket with all your towels in it, 1 towel per panel, once it's done, toss it. The bucket stays contaminant-free, every towel used is absolutely clean, and you're saving yourself from filling up 2 buckets of water. Save money, save time, save the environment.

[@Deantrey]

Key word here is "I'm no pro." You use the 2 bucket method because you do not know how to think for yourself. It's the way everyone does it so that's the way you do it. It's a completely illogical way to wash a car, but you cannot recognize that because you have not taken the effort to think for yourself and use your own logic.

[@aaron-jd1ds]

Like the new style video. What do you recommend for non clear coated wheels?

[@moodysobh]

Clear coat of course

[@moodysobh]

Kidding, eco-friendly wheel cleaners would work well for you You could also try your wash soap cover the whole car, go to your rims and spread the product around with a detail brush then continue with your wash process and rinse off

[@randomrazr]

is the clay for the windows same clay used for paint

[@jdisdetermined]

Yep, I move my old paint clay bars to glass only duty, then wheels only after that, then toss them. Some people use the same bars for everything, I wouldn't feel comfortable using a clay bar on paint after using it on a wheel.

[@supremeclienteleautocare]

Great points made Luke, I was in the cigar business and you’re spot on with those statements. Thanks for the great videos

[@jakarlfrasier6639]

What shoes are you wearing? Those are nice!

[@greekscion1]

Is spray wax safe on black trim, not sure if you mentioned it or not. Thanks

[@theoneders2056]

SOME Spray waxes and Sealants are perfectly fine on trim and even interiors. Do a small test spot as usual and done. EDIT: I originally replied while still watching the bgenning of video, and now that I see he used Megs X Wax, the answer to your question is 100% yes this "wax" is safe for pretty much every exterior surface. Interior it works on leather/vinyl seats, Nav screens , chrome/painted accents etc...

[@gsjourney3054]

Dino Tahinos yes spray wax is fine on black trim just make sure it isn’t carnuba wax cuz that will leave a white residue but the synthetic works fine for it you don’t have to worry it works good on windows too

[@jeremeychad5888]

What is your best way to clean the inside front windshield? I could be wrong but it seems that a oil or to me is a oil or something gets on the inside windshield. It’s very irritating to me. Let me know what you think I’d appreciate it.

[@Greg_P611]

I use onr & clay on bugs. My other cheaper option is the rag company bug pads and p&s brake buster diluted 4/1. Pan taught me that and it really works great

[@russellkamp8923]

Can you paste wax after the spray wax?

[@LethalAce]

What’s the difference with waxes that have synthetic and Carnauba. One problem I hate with some spray wax is the next morning the car is already covered in pollen and stuck to the spray wax. Any way around this?

[@jesusaguirre201]

What solution did you use for the Rims and tires

[@xycan8734]

How are you not getting wheel brightener mist and sling in your eyes?

[@mwisch4]

The Gary dean wash method. You really should check out his products. His infinite use detail juice is perfect for this type of wash method considering he created it around this method. It is way better then onr and way more versatile in my opinion. Depending on how you dilute the concentrate you can do rinse less wash use as spray sealant clay lube, interior wipe downs. And straight it can dress tires and interiors including conditioning leather. It is the best product I have used! A real time saver because you can wash clay and seal each panel one at a time and be done quickly and have insane gloss with some protection.

[@mynsxt6]

I found that HDX citrus degreaser works really well on tires and fender wells, removes browning very quickly

[@jacobdelarosa1663]

Great video! I was just wondering if you’re using the Gary dean method with onr, how do you clean the wheels and tires, if you had no running water?

[@icosisi9227]

Jacob De La Rosa a hydro shot works pretty well, gives enough pressure to push the chemicals off, if not I’d say maybe just use a spray bottle full of water to rinse? But, that could leave some residue behind in crevices etc.

[@michellekempfsu]

@@icosisi9227 I would carry a weed sprayer filled with water if you need to rinse and have no hose. I find that to work when needed.

[@eamonmolineux340]

What do think of water less wash like Turtle wax water less wash.

He's using ONR soaked towels in a garage out of direct sunlight on a cool car... It's o.k... Plus he followed with spray wax and a dry towel to buff to a shine.👌

[@tnig]

Neither! Wipe it wet!

[@khadunio]

Nicely explained! One question from me: Optimum No Rinse seems to be safe and efficient product, but in order to not to scratch the paint they recommend to use their Big Red Sponge, which has cuts in the middle to suck in all the particles that may scratch. Did you really check with inspection light that your method with fresh MF towels do not scratch the paint? Anyway, great video and I'm starting to follow your channel.

[@verdantacres4460]

Great video and agree with your wash method. I'm in Arizona with the hardest water and with distilled water and optimum no rinse you can work without water spots.

[@Tiffany.Detailer]

What happens when you live and detail in an area where everyone has BMW’s, Tesla’s, but mostly bigger GMC Denali, Cadillac, Suburbans and Super nice brand new truck that are used to getting regular details? My first detail (haven’t done it yet because I’m just starting out) will be with someone who isn’t happy with their regular detailer, and is interested in having me detail what she drives. Which I have no idea what vehicle that is, because this client is a friend of my mom’s, and I haven’t had a chance to talk to her yet. Just knowing she lives down the street and a little bit about the cars in the area, it’s most likely going to be a newer suv that we already know gets detailed regularly. So an expensive vehicle with a super picky client, and I’m just starting out. What would your best advice be in a situation like this? When I detail my car, I’m OCD and I take around 3-4 hours on just the exterior, getting everything as perfect as I can. How would you deal with a client like this? Any advice? I want to do a great OCD job, yet I’m sure this client is used to a really quick detail. And of course this will be my very first client.
