    I was always led to believe (that means I picked it up from an obscure source that I now take as gospel) that warm water in the wash water dissolved the road salt and enabled it to leach deeper into the body work. In other words it was an absolute no no.
    A bit of guidance would be greatly appreciated. Also my shiny new Merc has been "Gardex-ed" and just to amuse you they gave me a chenille wash mitt as part of the detailing package they supply to new owners. I spent 30 minutes picking blue fluff off the badges and detail work...... They never told me that would happen.
    Great video btw

  • @tomlead8757
    @tomlead8757 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I feel as though you should have mentioned the use of a decent APC as a tfr for heavier road film. Surfex or Greenstar at 10:1 through the pump sprayer works great. Just a light covering around the lower half of the car bites through that nasty brown layer you get from longer commutes. By using a durable QD as your drying aid it works as a great sacrificial layer from your waxes or sealants against the APC. Love the content as always man.

    Forensic Detailing Channel. I suffer from poor circulation in my fingers so, in addition to warm water. I wear a pair of neoprene gloves (buy the next size up to normal gloves). They work for me. As I have mentioned previously, on proper cold days I resort to waterless. I know that some will call for me to be burned at the stake, but it is a great way for many of us to clean our cars in the winter.

  • @constantdetail9619
    @constantdetail9619 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Using the foam as part of the actual contact wash stage just makes much more sense. There seems to be a thing of you can either use foam at the beginning, or ahead of the wash. Personally I use it once to dwell and then rinse to get rid of the bulk, and foam again for the wash - adds lube and just makes it easier. For the extra ease of cleaning I can live with the wasted product

    I'm so glad you left that quick summary on the meguiars wheel cleaner. Amazing product 100%, but I couldn't justify the price tag. I got approximately 5 cleans out of it and paid £16 for the bottle, at over £3 a clean before I've even started on the rest of the car, it was a bit too much to justify.
    I'm now trying the wonder wheels alloy cleaner, pour that in a spray pressure bottle and off you go, using next to no product in comparison too👍🏼

    On the hoover/vacuum thing though, and call me a geek if you like lol, but while its incorrect to say "grab the hoover" if you have a Dyson, it's perfectly acceptable to say you're going to "hoover out the car" even if you're using a Dyson, as hoover is also a verb lol

Will report back on if it's good or not. Otherwise, the small carpet cleaner tool that comes with the dyson is the BEST for floor matts

    Thanks Jon! I suppose to say "Winter" in the UK is not what I can class as winter in Finland so some tips I use when considering to brave the weather (average -10 to -20 deg C) and where touching metal with water freezes on contact....no chance to use a snow foam lance ;) Ok 1. Warm or hot water and what I found was ONR to be splendid. Do 1 panel at a time. Dilute all products with hot water. Funny one here but put all towels inside your jacket so the body heat keeps them warm and any water on them does not freeze up as this will just scratch the paint as you use them again. Alternatively put the towels inside the car with the heater on but it's a pain to be in and out doing that. Do the door jams and dry extremely well, otherwise you will not get into your car in the morning...Frozen solid. Remember to dry the fuel cap as well. Its freezes solid and if you are low on fuel, your buggered. Apply whatever sealant your have to protect the paint directly to your cloth first of all, not the panel. It will freeze on the car panel and you are left with a blob of sealant! Finally oil the door locks. If your central locking does not work, you might find your lock is frozen inside the barrel but oil helps keep it from freezing. Yep Winter in the dark North is not pretty but it does not mean you car cant stay clean! Regards from Helsinki!

    Hey Jon, I wanted to say that I really like your channel, I like your style, not trying to impress or be too serious. A real pleasure to watch you every time, and very valuable tests to help me choose products.
    Now please I have 2 questions or you:
    - I see you store all your products in your garage, aren't you afraid that with temperatures below 0degc it might cause issues with some of them?
    - When using a good sealant which helps cleaning the car, what about doing a contact less wash just using a foam canon and a rinse? It might not be perfect but at lease no chance to introduce any swirl mark so a good compromise?
    And OMG you are a great singer! I realized this a while ago when I tried to pickup the song in your generic using Shazam and it would not work... It was you on the guitar!

    • @ForensicDetailing
      @ForensicDetailing  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      hi ya
      i get no issues with freezing products Laurent.
      contactless wash never removals all the dirt. aim of cleaning the car is to remove the dirt really. if you dont remove the dirt you also cant dry the car without scratching the paint really (blowing aside). you need contact to get the finer stuck on portion of the road film off, or just other stuck on dirt etc...
      thanks for the kind words appreciate it.

    Hi FDC. Any tips for decontaminating and polishing new paint repairs?

    • @ForensicDetailing
      @ForensicDetailing  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      hey there, I generally wait a month for it to harden more but you dont have to. non OEM paintwork typically is soft and the biggest issue is introducing compound marring to it. Often you can cut freshly painted paint with a soft pad and a medium abrasive, and you can finish it out with a soft pad and finishing polish if required.. So my only tip is no real need to use agressive products if your just tidying it up... onyl realy to go in with hard pards and heavy products is if you are taking out sanding marks.

    Did a very deep cleanse on both our cars 2 weeks ago and finished off with Geyon Wet Coat. My method is to spray over the wet car. Gently rub it all over the car with a microfibre using just the weight of the cloth to evenly spread product. Takes less than 5mins to wizz over the outside like this. Then jetwash off. 2 Weeks later both cars are still really clean, the dirt just does not stick. So very good as a winter protectant.

    John, great video. I'm a big fan of chenille wash mitts as well. My personal preference are the Autofiber Chenille mitts as they are flat and w/o a wrist cuff, as my preference is not to put my hand in. One question: Do you use your pressure washer in below freezing (0°C or 32°F) temperatures?

    • @ForensicDetailing

    'Chanel' (sic) noodle mitts are great, but the weight of water pulls them off your wrist. I use mine as a pad. Why don't 'they' make noodle pads - i.e. not sponges with the silly mesh bit, but pads? I notice that yours has a big label on it! Use your considerable influence Jon? And maybe your mates at Pro Detailer?
