New 'Guru Mobile' - 100K Subscriber Special

hi there and welcome to a celebratory car cleaning goo 100,000 subscribers special in which we'll be getting to know the new blue goo NEMA bill sector featuring plenty of future car cleaning and related content since I give it its first prop of Washington contamination so the car itself is a 2012 Volvo c30 t5 or design in rebel or guru blue as I like to call it it boasts a full service history a measly 27,000 miles on the clock and a host of other tasty performance-enhancing parts you wouldn't necessarily expect to find on a utilitarian Swedish motor I stumbled across it when window-shopping online as you do and although wasn't specifically after a new car thought it had made the perfect guru 'mobile to both transport me to jobs in style as well as feature prominently on the channel so after a few phone calls down south of ventured sir bring the beast back home been modified to give the look and feel of the 400 brake horsepower four-wheel drive Polestar edition Volvo never released a mark plenty people might shy away from buying a heavily modified motor the ports were actually a massive selling point for mirs most of them were exactly what I would have done to a factory example myself plus a newer could make the workers subject matter for future videos so it was a win-win in my eyes before we get to grips with any clean in then I'll quickly run you through the various upgrades starting with the 19-inch BBS sr diamond cut wheels which despite not being the expensive forged fi versions featured on the Polestar are still in essence the same design they've been generously wrapped in sticky yokohama advan neova 8008 our ties which look the biz but more importantly help keep me matte detailing gear firmly affixed to the asphalt nestling neatly behind the front wheels they're a pair of color-coded eight pop PB brake calipers that bite onto a nice set of floating drilled and groove discs and while the setup is perhaps a little overkill for the street they still remain perfectly usable on it and will of course look great on camera which is justification enough for me to the rear we have the standard volvo calipers which have been properly painted to match with grooved discs and operated pads added to help balance out the braking situation somewhat and although you can't currently see much off than the car is sitting on adjustable Bilstein shocks which aside from given an aggressive stance provide a nice connected feel without an overly fair ride then a rear anti-sway bar from us-based company elevates helps to enhance the handling even further a custom 3-inch d casted stainless exhaust system which obligingly pops loudly on the overrun does an effective job of expelling gases from the t5 loop but it's not all show and no go is up front we have a high flow and a vapour form intake manifold which replaces the restrictive factory plastic item a simple K&N job' then gives the bestir throat induction raw and a thermally coated three-inch elevator bow intake pipe feeds the standard blower with plenty of fresh air all of which are more aggressively managed by a fully remap the ECU lowered down there's also an rated a monument a cooler you can just about clock from it's chunky welds and lastly lurking on scene the engine bay is a forged turbo actuator and a hissing elevate bypass valve which does a brilliant job at blowing children small dogs and old ladies off their feet and while I don't currently have any paperwork to prove it all these mods reportedly combine to push the standard output of the car from the respectable 230 brake horsepower to a more brutal 300 Plus which considering it's all going through the front wheels is more than enough if you ask me there's still a few things our plan to do to make the car my own like return in the gloss black roof spoiler and a few other bits back to their original blue finish as well as either repainting the wing there is in factory satin metallic silver or replacing them with genuine carbon fiber items then essentially the plan is to knock back the obvious appearance of any painted trim and shiny parts including the wheels by finishing it all in a more stealthy but still smart looking satin black which should really allow the rebel blue paintwork to pop current mods and future plans aside though this first video was well as introducing you to the car it's really just about giving it a good old scrub to rid it of the array of crap you can see it accumulated from the spirited 250 mile drive home across the bug infested UK motorway network as in its current neglected state it certainly didn't deserve to be called a guru the bill first off then was a basic wheel and art decontamination 4 which is citrus degreaser was used in place of a more harsh traffic film remover to wear strictly inner arches wheels and brake calipers of any ingrained grime once that have been given sufficient time to soak it was thoroughly rinsed off with the pressure washer [Music] [Music] before the last of the CodeRed active wheel cleaner featured in my last video was employed in through any iron contamination created by the large disks of which they were surprisingly very little so I'm guessing the previous owner obviously either kept them clean or practice plenty of engine braking this time it was also worked in with a few different shampoo drenched detailing brush it to give them all thora clean and get the most out of what product remained the faces were then given my signature synthetic washing it wants over to help neutralize any real greening chemical residue as well as allow me to cop a quick feel of the new wheels once all washed each corner was thoroughly rinsed off and although I do plan on removing them to film a more in depth clean of the calipers arches and suspension components soon this would have to do for now [Music] next up was to remove any iron contaminants from the rebel blue paintwork now I had intended to use car pro tricks to simultaneously eliminate any tar spots - but couldn't manage to get hold of a bottling car so hard to go with also smart red seven of which are plenty now I know some people prefer to wait until after washing to remove iron but I generally prefer to get the heavier smellier and generally nastier chemical decontamination out of the way earlier on with the Sun out I didn't want to let it dry oh man ooh prized possession so let it soak just long enough to get a good visual indicator of the level of contamination before carefully rinsing it off from top to bottom so I could move on to the next stage of the process instead of a straight-up snow foam I went the same citrus degreaser used in the pump spray earlier to give a better shot at softening up the multitude of sins godly stick into the paintwork while snow foam is great for removing loose dirt it's deep cleaning abilities are limited so something more powerful blanketed over the surface would hopefully provide a more effective pre clean not being a dedicated snow firm the orange juice didn't quite foam up to the same extent but it still produced enough to sink on the surface for a few minutes which was really all I needed any more deeply ingrained areas of contamination were then gently agitated with a soft bristle detail and brush to help give the degreaser a bit of a helping hand getting up close and personal with a car that's new to you like this allows you to potentially want to have any important cosmetic issues that might need tackling like stone chips loose pieces of trim or cracked lenses for example that may otherwise be easily overlooked once it had been treated to a nice sunny soken soft agitation then it was given one final for apprearance to get it as clean as possible prior to washing [Applause] [Applause] due to the fact that paintwork was already swelled I wasn't going to fart around with the two bucket technique so instead just went with one albeit still with a grit guard inserted my aim here was simply to give the car a damn good scrub so I could see what I had to contend with the pampering wash technique will come later once the various surfaces have been properly enhanced and protected the core was washed in the usual top-down manner with particular attention being paid to any areas that had previously appeared deeply ingrained now there's a strange sense of freedom washing with just one bucket it's a bit like going commando technically it's wrong but at the same time just feels right I don't recommend it for routine maintenance washing and swell free cars one bucket that is not knowing these for a first decontamination wash on a used car like this I wouldn't worry too much about temporarily strained to the dark side also to be fair it was rebel blue paint worker was there cleaning so a rebellious wash technique seemed fairly appropriate if you're Assad get like me then what in your new car for the first time can be a pretty exciting experiences your map uncharted territory with your sons and steadily formulate the best future plan of attack on some of the more heavily contaminated areas also smart G 101 which is a diluted all-purpose cleaner was fair sprayed over the panels to help the gentle shampoo cook through the stubborn summer bugs which overall seemed to wear quite well it's best to do this towards the latter stages of the wash if possible though is it can flatten the swords and render them pretty useless after a few dogs in the book [Applause] [Music] [Applause] once I was satisfied everywhere being contact washed within an inch of its life fur then systematically rinsed off all the subs to prepare the panels for their penultimate stage of decontamination and it was only really now that we're starting to see the fruits of my labor and the drink are underneath [Music] [Music] so because it was too slow on the tricks front I still had to detour the car and stick him in the auto smart line I grabbed the liter of TARDIS for the job which got to be said is rancid smelling but pretty effective nonetheless I employed what I like to refer to is the Turin towel technique here so with the car either wet or dry doesn't really matter you spray down a panel with the tar remover splits the towel with it and then gently work it over the surface to quickly wipe away any tar spots instead of sitting around and waiting for them to slowly dissolve which can be a bit of a ball ache especially if you've got a camera and the hot Sun to contend with if you did just leave that tie remover to soak on the surface in this kind of weather it would likely dry and while in my experience that won't necessarily damage the surface it will leave crusty torrents that will look even more slightly so if you haven't got time to let it sit or the conditions don't permit then the torrent towel technique or a simple spot queen with it over the end of your finger is probably the best way to go [Music] yet another rinse turn later then and it was finally time to clay the car to remove any remaining stubborn contaminants that either me or the previous products it failed to eliminate and while clay towels certainly get the job done quicker the aggressive ones I had with me can often leave the paintwork looking like it's been wet sanded which is fine if your machine polishing straight after but I wasn't so to avoid cloudy clear coat syndrome I decided to go the traditional clay bar roots the freshly wet panels were primed with a detail spray to provide some lubrication and prevent any unnecessary deep scratches being inflicted as the clay bar was worked over the c30 surface most of the upper panels felt pretty smooth already the majority of the contaminations had now either been dissolved or washed away however you can't really classify a car is fully decontaminated until it's been properly played so I continued on with the process even if certain areas didn't really feel like they needed it the lower areas of a car on the other hand are where a clay bar will generally do most of its work and that was no exception here as the bottom of the doors and chunky sills were still holding on to a fair bit of ingrained dirt if left sitting on the paint where could jeopardize the polishing process later on once I was happy all surfaces were suitably smooth and contaminant free then the car was given its fifth and final rinse down to remove all cleaning and decontamination product residue so that a third towel dry could then take place [Music] [Music] despite have been repeatedly let water and products dry and the surface throughout the day due to off-camera Safin and chatting there were thankfully very few signs of water spotting or streaking but then again this is a Volvo and the old v40 proved to be indestructible in regards to detail in product abuse so I don't know what I was worried about similar to when contact washing the car I really wasn't concerned with a bumper impact dryers that kind of mollycoddling can hold off for the post polish maintenance washes the goal here was to simply towel dry it off in the most efficient manner possible so I could call it a day and grab some after shots that being said that it still ensure made a thorough job of it soaking rinse water up from all the new looks and crannies is this was going to be it for the paintwork today so I didn't want to be left with any unsightly drips once I'd finished off although this initial decontamination job wasn't really about enhancing and enriching I did slap some auto finesse at entire cream onto the rubber to help give the car a relatively respectable appearance but the super stiff sidewalls of the yoga advanced were a pain in the backside to dress with this product and took a good five minutes each to get into a satisfactory standard so liquid dressing and a brush next time I think [Music] to reiterate that this video was really just about introducing the new courtier while getting the majority of crap off it before moving on to the next stage I kind of wanted to give it its first washing get to know it in private if you know what I mean but I thought it was only fair a share the experience with you as a way of saying thanks for helping the channel reach its first major milestone of 100,000 subscribers despite the win a relatively for a job here the nature of trying to do two things at once meant there were still a few areas that needed fair to work so I'll be setting aside another morning or afternoon off-camera to clean the car again and get it completely contaminant free before I move on to film and hence polishing work considering it essentially been stripped naked though and apart from the tie it sucked completely unenhanced I still think it looked pretty short and capturing these preliminary after shots got me quite excited for what it might look like once it's been properly polished and protected as always thanks for watching of course subscribing do let me know what you think of the car in the comments below and stay tuned for the next stage of its detailing development since this is just the start you
