Detailing Flowchart A to Z - How to perform a complete detail from start to finish! - Part 1: Wash

three four what's up Chemical Guys family and welcome back to another episode of Chemical Guys detail garage now it's time to get into spring cleaning that's why I got a Kia Rio it's not tropical but it has everything you need to start from the start to finish by that I mean it has filled Grime debris all over the paint the car has not been taken care of it just got imported from the East Coast now it's on the west coast so now it's time for us to do a full series on how to wash clay polish ceramico and the list goes on anyways guys let's get right into this video with the wash to start off with this detailing process we will be providing a flow chart for you guys so you guys can be following this video along it should be pop up here or here depending where Christian wants to put it but other than that before you get it into the claying the polishing the ceramic coating there's one major step you need to do and that is washing as simple and crucial as it sounds this is a must do before you get into any type of detail the reason being is this car was at the East Coast and the East Coast obviously does have salt it does have heavier Winters but here in California it was actually raining so we did have a lot of rain we had many different types of grime it was windy but obviously the East Coast does have severe Winters but how are we going to wash this Kia Rio it's fairly simple if we actually look down here I already have all my Arsenal to start off with I do have two separate buckets a clear one and a red one the reason why I have two different buckets is for anyone that is new here we do always recommend doing a two bucket method around your surface of your car the reason being is you always want to have a clean water and a soapy water like this you prevent scratches and swirls because if you did not know up to 90 of scratches and swirls actually come from imperfection on washing your ride so obviously we'll start off with the choice of soap that I chose today today I'm going with clean slate So Clean Slate is designed to remove any glazes sealants and wax away from the surface of the vehicle the reason why I want to start fresh is because it's spring clean the weather is nice it's time to drive my car and it's time to get that detailing on so to start off with how do you actually use it you can use it many different types of forms in a big mouth Max release foam can which is a foam Cannon a two bucket method or even a foam blaster in this occasion I am using a proflow pm2000 which is a pressure washer which is our pressure washer so I will be pairing it up with the big mouth from actually foam Ken all right so now that I went over the soap how do you actually enter it into your big mouth it's fairly simple all you need to do is remove the big mouth head put it off to the side and I already had pre-filled it up to the 30 meter mark on the back it does have metering tips and now all I need to do is grab my soap and all I'm gonna do is just add one ounce one two let's give it two ounces because obviously I don't know what's on the surface of the car I I did see it does have a big bird dropping up top and has a thick layer of dirt grime and debris so I want to be extra generous so when the studs actually sit on it it's actually going to help me lubricate the surface and whenever I Glide my Chenille Washman across the surface I won't be installing any more scratches or swirls so once you're done just grab your big mouth head spin it back onto the top and now for anybody that that is new you will always want to stir it and you don't want to shake it if I was to shake this bottle I'll start causing foam in here and we want no foam in here we want all the foam on this reel so I'll put the big mouth off to the side and then we're going to be getting our dirt shops so our dirt traps are a must have in your Chemical Guys Arsenal and it's a must-have to have whenever you're washing your ride so this filter is going to filter while you wash so all you need to do is grab your dirt trap insert it at an angle and push down that's how fast and simple it is to use this dirt trap has micro braces up top so every single time I grab my Chino wash mitt and I scrub it at the top it's going to release all the filth and grime from my wash mitt it's and then these cone-like are going to keep it trapped at the bottom so like this you always have clean water now you guys might ask me do I need to have two dirt traps even though I have a clean water and dirt water and the answer is yes so just enter your dirt shop in your other bucket and just like that you have your two bucket method set up so now it's up to to you to set up how you want your soapy bucket and rinse bucket obviously it's not rocket science one is going to be designated for your rinse bucket the other one's going to be your soapy bucket so obviously in your soapy bucket you grab your choice of soap you'll add one to two ounces of soap inside there now that that's inside there we're going to get our Chanel wash mitt and right now I want to talk to you guys about our Chenille Washburn so let's start let's start off with this first of all it has a full Chemical Guys Banning on it as soon as you insert your hand it's not going to fall off it's the perfect size and the chenille wash mitt is Ultra Mega sauce especially on a car that is super dirty you want the gentlest touch possible so this is why I went with the OG Chanel wash mitt this is one of our very first wash fits we do offer many different types of wash mitts but in this occasion going with this washroom is my choice so now I'll just sink it at the bottom I'll let it dwell in there and how do you activate your suds all you need to do is just grab your pressure washer wand in this occasion our proflow pm2000 actually comes with this amazing fitting where you can still attach your Torx snubby to it so by attaching your Torx snubby to it you're going to have a shorter wand you're going to have more control over your detail and nonetheless the pressure washer tip unattaches and reattaches if you need so so for anybody that is new I remove the pressure washer tip and obviously once it's time to foam up the surface of the car all I need to do is grab this sleeve right here I'll pull it back and I'll attach my big mouth Max we use foam Cannon and once I'm done and I need to rinse it off all I need to do is pull back on the sleeve release it reattach my pressure washer tip and now I'm good to go so now our next step now that we set everything up before I even activate the suds it's fairly simple you just want to activate your studs all you need to do is just add pressure and that's how you activate your suds but if your suds do run out just reacting just by putting pressure but before we get into foaming all I'm going to do is just rinse down the surface of the vehicle just to knock off any loose grammar debris and then once I'm done rinsing it off I'll grab my big mouth mattress foam Cannon and my torque snubby and I start foaming up this Kia Rio and then you guys will see how thick these Suds are that clean state provides [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you [Music] all right guys so I actually want you guys to come close and you guys can see that this car has no type of water beating whatsoever I mean the surface is wet but it actually looks like it's dry but in this occasion this car is wet the beating is not coming whatsoever so I already know that this car has no type of protection so even by hitting it with clean slate it's just even going to remove anything else that it might have on a Surface car and we're going to transform this car because this car is newer but the protection if the protection is not there over time your car is going to start looking old so this is why we're gonna do a full detail on this Kia Rio anyways guys let's get into the foaming part foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right guys so we just finished foaming up this Kia Rio and you guys can see how clean slate is actually grabbing hard onto the third and filth and grime and that is something you want with clean State you want to let it sit on the surface of the car for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute depending on the weather if it's super hot just start swimming right away but here in California it's like 75 degrees and you guys can see how clean slate is grabbing onto the dirt and filth and I'm actually letting it sit on there the reason being one wash from filtered water two where the car is not so hot and three I want to start over so I'm actually allowing clean state to sit on the surface remove all the glazes sealants and waxes away from the search of the vehicle these were doing a full detail on this Kia reel now you guys can compare these Subs with other soaps that we do provide this soap is just going to provide minimal Suds compared to something like sticky snowball sticky snowball is going to be like shaving cream like suds but this is what I want I want something that's going to cause enough Suds so I could have enough lubrication but now it's just time to get into the fun part which is scrubbing so buy one by detailing your car you're going to know exactly what protection you have on it so why not start right now so I'll reactivate the suds and once I already reactivate my suds I'll grab my Chenille Washman and I'll grab some Suds and these premium Suds that clean state provides are super slick super uh super uh lubricated so whenever I Glide my washroom across this Kia reel there's going to be nothing but Perfection so I'll go to from the windshield down and this car like I told you guys it actually got imported from the east coast and the the owner just took uh took delivery a few months back but she did she wasn't washing this car as often or at all because this car has no type protection and the East Coast obviously gets severe winners as saw it has uh snow who knows what this car has been through but on the other hand here at Chemical Guys we're gonna get it right and we'll show you guys the viewers at home our amazing Chemical Guys family how you could do this at your very own home as well so after a couple scrubs this wash bucket is going to my rinse bucket I'll sink it at the bottom I'll inspect my wash mitt ring it out make sure it's clean get some more soap and continue with this wash now as you guys can see every time I scrub the paint I'm going in linear motions the reason why I am going in linear motions is because it all this filth and grime that is coming off of this wash mitt all of that it can potentially scratch the surface of the vehicle so how do you actually prevent that and that is by going linear motions and two once your car one side is already dirty flip your wash mitt over to a clean slide a clean slide and just start scrubbing it side to side and by doing this whole entire process around the surface of your car you are ensuring you are not scratching your surface of your car because you guys can see how much filth and grime is actually coming off of this car so once I'm done I'll come to my rinse bucket scrub at the bottom as you guys can see how the dirt trap moves at the bottom that's because I am scrubbing it wring it out inspect my wash mitt now it's clean and I'll proceed with this wash around this Kia Rio so what happens if your suds do dry up on the surface of the car I know we get that comment a lot just simply get your foam Cannon get your soap refoam the area and like that the soap will not Etch in and like they get more lubrication and more cleaning power and yes we know here at Chemical Guys is sometimes your studs are going to dry up on you because the the weather can't be on your side it gets too hot so just simply re-foam the surface of the car like that the silver reactivate and I know you have more lubrication so don't be afraid to use more product especially because if you think about it this car or your car at home is an investment so why not protect your investment and give it the proper care but just see how much filth and grime is coming off of this car so guys let me just finish scrubbing this surface of the car you guys already saw I go in linear motions throughout the whole entire car and once I'm done scrubbing it I'll show you guys how fast and easy it is to dry up a surface of a car that is not protected Now non-protected cards are fairly hard to dry because the water is going to drag but I'm going to simplify that by using two products a drying towel and a drying Aid I'll be right back [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] guys so before we get into the drying process we achieved what we were looking for and that is removing all glazes ceilings wax or any type of protectors that this car might have so I still have my torch knob in my hand and if I wet it if I wet it you guys can see that the water is dragging that that is actually what we want we want we want no beads whatsoever so now how do you actually dry your surface your car and it's fairly simple many people on our Instagram Twitter Facebook as what other YouTube comment sections they ask us how do I dry my car how do I prevent water spots and that is using loosen spray shine so loose inspiration is one of our newest products that just hit the Chemical Guys line so how do you actually use it get your favorite woolly mammoth or favorite drying towel that we offer and pair it up with loosen spray shine so all you need to do is go to the area you are working on and then I will spray it onto the surface now what you can see that the water is doing it's called it's causing it to disperse from the surface next up you'll grab your favorite microfiber towel in this occasion I am using the blue woolly mammoth I will put it and wipe in one motion and just like that is how simple and easy it is to dry the surface of a car that has not protected so we want this you want beads all over your car so like this water does not stick but in this occasion we are looking for these this type of results so I am happy so all I need to do now is just go all around the surface of this car spray some loose and spray shine on it get my woolly mammoth dry the surface and then after that after I'm done drying the whole entire surface of the car then it's going to be our next step which is going to be bringing inside the garage and getting into the nooks and crannies such as clean and polishing out of the professional on the surfaces car so guys
